The wires are shaped interesting, the outer halves angle out at a 130 degrees. I think I've seen this better described as a Nike swoosh. The wires are soft. The upper lace is really stretchy, semi closed on top so it tacks at the top but I can't fill it on my smaller side. The cups extend high up on their outer sides so I could see some people having it go too much towards their armpits, but I like it because it keeps my tall roots in check on the outsides. I don't think this bra would work for lots of immediate projection. The band is TTS, one layer of mesh and one of lace, and has side boning. It is hard to tell in pics but the pattern is pink and grey houndstooth.
Me: tall roots, close-set, average or narrow width, even but functionally FOT, centre-full, size asymmetry. 26" and 34" leaning.
I don't like this shape of the wires much, but I do like the fact that they go up higher than in many bras. I've always had problems with Curvy Kate wires and spilling out of their bras on the sides, so it's nice to find something that keeps my breast tissue in place.
I ordered my correct size (No sizing up or down) and it was tight enough as I had hoped. However the cups seemed to not work so comfortably for me. They felt a bit small, both vertically and horizontally. By that I mean, the cup material only just covered my nipple, I felt a little conscious, as if it could end up above the cup if I made a sudden movement or bent over. I could wear the bra while at work, but I felt like there was not enough space at the sides either to hold all the breasts in (armpit spillage). This bra sometimes looked good, ...particularly after first putting it on, but at other times I looked at it and it did not look like a push up. Probably due to the bra cups trying to keep in the centre of my chest, while the breasts shifted themselves slightly out of the bra, to go into to each armpit! I wore it and kept it without returning it. But for Gorteks I would make a note to order 1 cup size higher next time and see how that works.
This bra has those 'cookies' (like small push up pads that could be removed) which were strange. The pockets that the cookies are in, are not fully occupied by the cookies. I felt like this was awkward and did not make the bra any more comfortable. Read more 129 more words
Very pretty bra with a very stretchy band and very narrow underwires.... The underwires are very flexible, and the gore somehow doesn't bother me even though it's almost 3 inches!
I have no idea how this thing retails for 34£... but it's a very bad fit. I think it's closer to a 36B!
This bra fits perfect! However it's not padded, which is what I'm disappointed with. It does not show the headlights though, so I may consider keeping it.
Cute!
