I really like that the outer edges all around the bra cups are elasticized so the breasts can change a little, but still get a good fit. The wires are totally new to me, so it will take some getting used to. The cup goes high into the armpit into the front so it well contains the tissue under my arms, but the lace texture does scratch a little. I'll get used to it. Plain nude color, which is boring, but it's a good solid start.
**I've found that the wires tend to slide up to the armpits instead of staying in the gore, which makes the gore fail to tack. I fixed this by sewing through the wire channel to keep the wires fully tacked in the gore. It's a bummer that this happened at all, but an easy fix.**
I added measurements, but this bra has been worn in tandem with only one other bra for several months. So this is probably a little more stretched out than by default.
After years (decades, even) of spilling out of whatever DDD+ bra would sorta fit me, I've recently begun trying to figure out what size and type of bra works for my plus-size, full-cup figure. Of my handful of new bras (ranging in size from 42GG to 42K) this one is my all-around favorite. It feels supportive and doesn't poke or squeeze me anywhere. The seamed cups are made of non-stretchy lace, which give this bra a strong structure and great support for my heavy breasts.
This bra is not the sexiest bra ever but it works really well for support and for wearing under dresses. It completely eliminates double boob. I have it in a really pretty aqua color so it is pale and easy to hide. It's also nice to look at despite being cut in a conservative manner.
This bra fits well , but its not really my style. It flattens my breast and brings them out towards my armpits, but NOT east-west. It is very comfortable ad the straps are one of the best I have for my bras.
If you look in my back view of the bra, right side, you can see my boob defiantly being pushed under my arm pit. I have narrowish roots too...
I stuck to Goddess bras for 12 years. I was sized wayyy back then and told that I had to have a Goddess bra. I was thankful when they came out with prettier, pared-down bras like Keira. This bra is very comfortable, supportive, and not bad looking, either. This bra lasts a long time, also. Washes well. The past few months I've noticed all my bras (36Is in goddess - Rose and @Keira) were not fitting right - boobs busting out of the top and bottom. I was finally sized for the first time in 12 years and told I am a 34J. I was told Goddess bras come in a a 34 band but they are still designed for women with a wider frame than me and wider breasts.

It was suggested this brand might be the correct shape for me. So I figured why not give the smallest size a try... No luck. Cups are way too big. Wrinkly all over. The wires fit nicely. I like the tall wings so they enclose more of my breast tissue instead of spilling over like usual. It's rather comfy, but unfortunately the cup is just too big for me. It looks really matronly though
This is a great everyday bra. It is a full coverage cup. The straps are very comfortable, and it is very well made. The shape of the cup is a bit wider than most. It can work to your benefit by giving you the appearance of a more hourglass figure, if you have a smaller waist. However, if you are more round, as I was when I first got this bra, it may make you look a bit wider.
For the record, the tag says 36FF, not H. I needed a longline for under my wedding dress (I don't have the time or patience to sew a new corset before then), and this was in my budget, pretty, and the closest I could get to a proper size. This bra is serviceable. There's some quadboob, and the gore doesn't tack, but you won't notice under my dress, and I'm sure not going braless. I'm also in the process of altering it so the neckline is lower. For anyone wondering, the bones are flat steel, not plastic. A good sign, except that they aren't fully encased in some ...areas and will probably poke through the lace.
Fit: go up a band if you care to breathe, it will still be *plenty* tight. Cups are large I'd say. A brand comparison chart at herroom.com puts this cup at a UK F, which I'm far from but still manage to make work. Value: decent if you pay full price ($50), great if you snag it on eBay/amazon/somewhere else for less than $30. Quality: pretty good, if I weren't already taking it apart to alter I'd still reinforce the area where the bones meet the bottom of the underwire. Comfort: it's a longline, so don't expect to be doing cartwheels, but it's not bad. Easily worn all day, but break it in a little first if it's for something important like a wedding.

The dark chocolate color is a wonderful neutral, and may work as a nude on someone with quite dark skin, but on my pale olive its a refreshing change from black. This bra was one of my better fitting at the time, but it still didn't fit, revisiting it again i can see its not just a little off. I'm in the process of finding my average size, while nursing too. The wires poked my sternum and left a dark mark for at least a year or more back when I used to wear this bra rather often. Yet the underwires bowed out at the bottom ... The underwire never layed against my ribs, it always hovered an inch or so away from my body in the front. There was no support in the band and rode up in the back, after a bit I remember the underwire poking my underarms. Having the right size would have likely helped some issues but then again maybe not. I hated how it shows under all tops, front and underarms. The cups fit especially poorly now and my breasts are compressed into a not so accurate shape, along with having bulging around all non seamed areas. And the mesh busted in the top cup section not too long after wearing it a few times even though I washed by hand. Read more 127 more words
I almost didn't buy this bra because of the color and pattern, but decided to give it a shot anyway since a good fitting bra for this cost was too good to pass up. I'm glad I took the risk because it's one of the best fitting bras I have now. It's very comfortable and well made.
This bra felt low-quality. The material felt cheap, itchy, and uncomfortable. The fit was wildly unreliable - a 36L band "just" fit (I'm a 38J UK) but a 38 was ridiculously huge, just unwearable! The cups were a bit odd too, with the 38L seeming too big, and the 36L being too small. For the price I paid (over $40USD), the materials and construction seemed poor and not worth it. The cup construction/shape was very strange, and felt like it was pressing down on top of my breast, but not on the sides or bottom. It was very uncomfortable. Perhaps a terrible fit for full-on-top?
I actually returned this bra, so I apologize for not recording the measurements of it.
Overall a disappointment. Anyone looking to purchase a Goddess bra should be wary of their bizarre sizing issues. I've since seen multiple other reviews on other sites complaining of the same problems as my experience.
This is another in my quest to find an Caitlyn / @Kristie that fits me. Unfortunately it is another miss, this time not just too big in the cup, but too small everywhere else. Even with a bra extender it feels like I am in a vise when I put it on. The wires bite into breast tissue on the outside. I'll try it for a while to give it time to stretch out and perhaps mold itself better to my breasts. On the good side, it is typical, good quality, and sexy looking.
The @Elomi @Caitly is my favorite bra. It is incredibly sexy and elegant. The @Kristie is the precursor to it and almost an exact copy. I just can't find the size in either @Kristie or Caitlyn that will eliminate my wrinkle problem at the top. I have it in numerous sizes from 38c to 42e, and I just can't solve the problem. A 40c on the way, though! Doesn't poke, hasn't stretched, but I've only had it a couple of weeks.
I added measurements, but this bra has been worn in tandem with only one other bra for several months. So this is probably a little more stretched out than by default.
