This was a long shot, but the cup size looked like it might fit. Plus, I found it on clearance, so I figured I'd give it a try.
Totally the wrong size & shape for me. Wide gore sits on breast tissue. Stretch lace cups quad. Band rides up. The dart in the lace (from the strap to apex) stops at an awkward spot. Definitely returning.
This is a strange bra. My review is a bit unfair because I knew when I bought it that it would be too small, but it's such an oddly scaled bra. I was hoping to quickly pick up a wireless bra that was more or less wearable while I continued my bra search, but this won't work for me. I didn't mind sizing up in the band (since 36 is the smallest they make) because Glamorise is known for being somewhat tight in the band, and I picked the largest cup they seem to make. However, I kind of think that they just scaled up their smaller bras ...without considering how they would hold a larger bust, especially with a smaller band. I expect tight bands from Glamorise, but the band was actually too big for me, even done up on the last hooks. 36J is slightly too small a cup for me, but this is so incredibly small and weirdly fitting that I question whether it might comfortably fit someone who otherwise can wear a 36J in US sizing; I think the cups actually run small. The straps barely adjust at all; the top of the cup is more or less sitting just below the shoulder and does not adjust longer. The deceptively shallow cups squash boobs to the side in every direction, with much of the lower part of the cups taken up by an ineffectual, flimsy, and poorly connected sling that collapses on itself but somehow still manages to be in the way. I can't judge the bizarre shape they gave me since it was too small, but it was definitely odd. Normally I can just about get away with a too-small wireless bra, even though it's uncomfortable, but there is absolutely no give in this bra, so even for a wireless, it's very particular size-wise, and I'd keep that in mind when purchasing.
It might fit someone with very shallow and wide breasts, but I think this brand does better with the proportions of slightly smaller busts and might need to rethink how they handle smaller bands and larger cups. The proportions are off and there's just very little room in the cups. Read more 259 more words
I had an old Glamorise No-bounce Camisole Bra (1066) in 40G, which I loved because it was comfortable, but didn't allow for much movement, which is what I'm looking for in a sports bra. So, I went with a new 38H - Glamorise » Women's Full Figure No-bounce Plus Size Camis thinking that was closer to my real size. Unfortunately, I didn't account for how stretched out my old bra was. So, this one is definite snug. I think if I went with an I or J cup it'd be perfect, but as it is, it's a bit tough to fasten. That said, once it's on it holds me firmly and allows for strenuous activity, without any significant bouncing, so it's still doing it's job well. Be aware this fits like a cami, so it's quite high at the neck, but if you're looking for some compression and a firm fit for exercise, I'd recommend this cut.
The design of this is hilariously bad. The cups are made with the supposed nipple placement facing east-west away from each other and they look completely squished down vertically and pointy. The cups aren't nearly deep enough for a 40G cup and even if they were, there would be no support.
My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.
This bra was another failure for me. I sized down in the cups since I had read reviews and seen pictures here about it running large, and it's still slightly too large. This bra has two parts: one part underneath with the actual cups, and another panel that goes on top where you can adjust depending on the level of impact (low, medium, high). The inner part where the cups are run very large. There's some empty fabric in the middle of the cups, near the bottom, it's just big. I ...adjusted the top panel on the tightest setting, but I got so much movement, I don't feel comfortable with it for high-impact activities. The fabric of the cups has no give, similar to another Glamorise style I tried that was also too big in the cups: http://bra.pe/X0oW/
Another thing that bugged me a lot: there's a lot of extra fabric near the wires, like instead of encasing the wires, they have an extra "flap" of fabric which seems like very poor design, I can see this bra irritating and maybe even chaffing during exercise. It would've been infinitely better if this part was sown and not let loose like it is (I added some pictures of this).
The band runs true to size for a 32, stretching to around 31.8". It feels comfortable and supportive to me on the tightest set of hooks. The straps are comfortable and padded.
Overall, I don't think I will try this bra a cup size down since the band is already on the tightest hooks. If you want to try this style, I recommend sizing down one, if not two cup sizes, and keeping your regular band size based on my experience. Read more 199 more words

I saw the previous pictures posted here and read lots of reviews on other websites saying the cups on these bras ran large, so I sized down, but I still find that they're somewhat big. I don't know if maybe that's why I don't get the proper support I would expect from them or what. The fabric on the cups is weird, there's like no stretch at all to them, but there's so much fabric on the inside.
The band feels nice and firm on the second set (middle) of hooks, runs ...slightly small, since my this bra only stretched out to around 30 before the wires started distorting. This bra only has three sets of three hooks. The three hooks give a lot of stability, but I would've appreciated four sets of hooks if I were to keep it get more life and use out of this bra. Also, about the wires, they are very soft and flex easily. The straps feel comfortable and are padded, semi-adjustable.
This bra does not pass the running in place/jumping test for me, it has too much up and down movement for it to feel comfortable for longer high-impact workouts.
My takeaway if you want to try this bra is be prepared to size down at least one cup size, maybe two, and if you are looser fit for your band size, size up. I am between 30-32 band sizes, so I can wear this 32 size even though in my opinion true 32 band users will find this bra to run rather small. Read more 168 more words
I really wanted this bra to work for me because I liked the idea of the dual-layer construction. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work for me. The band was ok on the 34" (and the 32" was too tight), but it didn't move well with me. Additionally, my breast tissue didn't quite fill the top of the cups.
I did try this in the sister size down (32H), but that didn't work either. I ended up finding another sports bra that worked well for me, so I didn't explore other sizes, but a 32G or 34F may have been worth trying.
I ordered this sports bra in 40DD but it is too small to hook up and barely got it closed on the loosest hooks fastening it turned around backward. Then pulling it around forward very difficultly. Very painful and difficult getting my boobs into the cups. So I did manage to get it on and I can honestly tell you it is well made and sturdy. I am going to return it for the "sister size " of 42D. Btw, I love love love the orange and pink colorway https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />! I hope the 42D comes in those colors too! Almost forgot to add, this bra has an adjustable outer panel for custom comfort and control! Magiclift criss-cross design on the inner bra provides superior support. So you can adjust how much "bounce" the cups will allow. Fully adjustable with hooks on the outside front of the bra.
I am really pleased with my "Elegance Lace underwire " bra. I think it's perfect for me! Full coverage. Nice round shape, totally comfy, well supported with 3 part cut-and-sew cups that are made from this see-through, stretchy, trellis patterned mesh. My bra is all white except the upper cups are trimmed with pink lace and a pink bow in the middle. This style of Glamorise bra comes with what they call "Wonderwire" , that is that the underwire is wrapped in a cushion material making it softer. I bought mine in size 40DD and has a leotard back with 3 hooks and sturdy 3/4 inch elastic straps.
I've had this bra in purple for about 2 years. I've worn it a lot and it's just starting to get holey. It gives me a weird flattened shape in front, yet doesn't pull in the sides as much. It pulled a little on the shoulder straps until it got broken in. But other than that,I've been wearing it for two years almost daily, so it's been pretty comfortable. A good bra for walking or light jogging. very little bounce on my large breasts.
This bra and the Satin and Lace Wonderwire bra = the best-looking Glamorise bras AWESOME DESIGN FEATURES = Wonderwire element where the medium-soft underwires are encased in fabric; all-over stretch lace. COLOR: White, beige and 1 fashion color which I chose - purple-tinted steel color with an orchid-colored trim. SIZING: Glamorise brand size range goes C, D, DD and then F and G. Which means that Glamorise F = US DDD = UK E and so on. Some previous reviews on Bratabase models suggested this brand might run big. Being between 40DDD and 42DD and FOB, I opted for 40F and found out that this bra runs 1 size BIG in the ...band & cup [for avg/short roots and FOB shape]. The cups were TALL, a full cup both in coverage and in the T seam pattern and 3-piece construction. I exchanged this bra for 40DD and hope that forgiving stretch lace materials will let me redistribute the reduction in cup volume such that I lose the gaping at the top of cups but mostly maintain the projection I need. See my review for this bra in 40DD for further details.
COMFORT: This bra is comfortable and I intend to use it as a lounge and sleep bra.
Decent bra. May go up to 48A. Due to body shape & poor posture overall, bottom of the band in front curls a bit, however this even occurs on my wired 48A bra. Actively working on weight loss at time of fitting.
This is the bra that my friend got from Herroom as an exchange for the 38A that I just added to our database 10 days ago. About this bra: It has molded soft-cups that are heavily padded at the bottom of the cups. Pretty much like major push-up pads. So there is no wire and it is a 40A which fits my friend better the 38A it was exchanged for.
This bra was lent to me to measure, photo and review for adding to Bratabase's database by a friend. It is way too small for my boobs. This is a soft cup "A" cup bra. It is has thick padding in the cups. It looks quite nice on my friend.
Very soft and comfortable, but there is no strap adjustment so no lift. Fine for a sleep bra I guess but I would not even wear it around the house. It went back.
