Gorgeous bra - very nicely made, very soft, nice color. Sadly it is way too wide on me. It fits like a 28 band.

Pretty and comfortable bra, but it has more upper and center fullness than I need.

This bra is beautiful! It has a firm band and stretchy straps (they are mesh at the front). Only one hook, but stays fine at a smaller size. The lined section of the cup is very open at the top, but the mesh overlay above it keeps the breasts in place.

The cups on this bra seemed particularly wide, and a bit tall too. I liked how deep the plunge was but the top of the cups gaped. I think it might work for me if I was more full on top or maybe more even.

This gorgeous bra is a bit too small - sadly but not unexpectedly. Currently I'm around 30GG/H. So I knew it wouldn't be perfect, but this 32G was the best size available (got it cheap on Ebay).

Some quadding going on and not enough projection in the bottom of the cups. Gives me kind of a pointy shape. Band is a bit loose. Adjusting it shorter results in more overspill. Not a bra for daily wear. However, since I looooove the colors and print, I'll just keep it for the bedroom https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

Generally speaking, I think this bra is suitable for relatively shallow and wide shapes.
I used to be (or think I was) wide & shallow. Now I'm realizing I need more narrow and projected bras.

Anyhow, because of the vibrant floral print (explosion indeed) I would really recommend this beauty. Lucky person who properly fits it - I'm jealous!

Beautiful colors, and I love the cage back, but this bra is too wide in the straps and needs more upper fullness than I can provide.

Beautiful design and quality. I love the single hook in the back. Very low plunge/gore.

I so wanted the Phoebe to work... Initially, I went with my default Gossard size 30DD. When this turned out to be about two sizes too small in the cups, exchanged it for 30F, thinking that the next size up still would not do the trick. Waited over a month for my darling new bra, only to discover that the F cups were about a cup size too big. So, finally I ordered the 30E which arrived today and is too small all over. This means that I need to make peace with the thought that pretty Phoebe has just turned into my personal ... Holy Grail. She will never be mine... Hmm... unless I lose some weight.... neeee https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Technically, the 30E should work, as I have other bras that are shallower and still fit. My guess is that the lace of the Phoebe is less flexible than that of the Superboost Lace.
Fits like a small 28E, maybe even a 26F. The sizing is completely off here at the smaller end. Either that, or there is something seriously wrong with me.

Highly underrated bra. Super soft, comfy, supportive, and simply sexy!

Sadly, this bra was quite an odd fit for my boobs. The colours, construction and accents are all so gorgeous and unique! The orange fabric of the bra is soft and plush, but has a strange sort of straight shape that goes up ( sort of like: |}/ ). This contributes to a weird pointy shape, but not in a nice vintage way unfortunately. Since I am centre full and have a very small amount of tissue on the outside of my boobs, I can't fill the sides of the bra properly, which contributes to the the strange shape. The gore doesn't tack, ... either. I would say this bra actually fits more like a 28FF than a 30E- my other Gossard 30E has a similarly tight band (yay!) but MUCH smaller cups. The cups on this bra are definitely bigger than they should be, so I'd recommend sizing down at least one, if not two cups. I'm going to try wearing this bra for a little while to see if I settle into the fit, so I'll update after that!

Update: After trying this bra on again to photograph it, I decided that we're so incompatible that a full days wear wasn't really in the cards "/

This is a very strange bra, moulded into quite the pointiness nightmare - but I rather like it. Perhaps it's only because I didn't manage to find a decent nude t-shirt bra for ages, that I'm willing to compromise.

Cups are deep and very padded, and I pop out the top with considerable quadding despite being so FoB. It's worse when I scoop and swoop, so as the day wears on my boobs settle down and the quadding doesn't show through my shirt anymore.

The gore is sewn crookedly, and the material is rather gold-ish.

This review is for the aqua color. I have this same bra in brown (mocha?) and the sizing is different between the two. The aqua has much smaller cups and therefore fits me a lot better.

I really like this bra. It is so pretty- the color is great and the fabric is shiny. It is comfortable and doesn't scratch or poke anywhere. The straps can disconnect in the back so you can criss-cross them, although I haven't tried this yet.

The cups are a see-though, stretchy fabric. They give some support and shaping but not a whole lot. I find that with the smaller cups, there is some negative ... ease which helps with the shaping and nipple show-through.

I feel like the band on this bra isn't supposed to be tight, if that makes sense, so I'm not going to gripe about the lack of a 28 band size. I guess I see it as more of a comfortable, casual bra. It doesn't ride up and the straps don't fall down my shoulders. Although Bratabase will mark this bra as "not fitting" me, I still wear it.

This bra is already with me forever in carton and should actually be sold. Now my chest lately is getting bigger and I do not know why (all of my other are much too short)
Found this here always nice and was really sad that he did not fit (I would have fit 2 times of this bra)
And now I just tried it again and it fits * happy
How can it be that my breast 38 years still growing or is greater? * amazed

This is my favourite bra. It may not be a perfect fit but I love how my boobs look in it! Its super comfy unless I have to do a lot of heavy lifting or manual labour: then the under wires rub under my arm. This was my first brathatfits. I've had it for about two years now and I bought more 2x pink, 2xblack, one black in smaller cup size for deflated days, and 3 strapless since.

Although, I have been fitting into a between a 36GG to a 34HH depending on the bra, because of the reviews on this bra, I sized down to a 36F. It fits great. One of the few bras I've found during my short perfect bra journey that actually tacks on my close set chest. The side slings actually serve their purpose unlike those in my Size 36GG Fantasie Rebecca Spacer bra, which has slings that sit under my arms despite the rest of the cup being almost too small. my one complaint is that this bra has a tendency to stretch out quickly over the day. I plan to order another in a 34G and see if that fixes the problem.

This bra is a little big in the cups for me, fits like a 30E. Can't fill the upper part of the cups and the wings come up too high - not petite friendly. Might go one size down if it will be availbale. I so wanted this sports bra because of the regular hook&eye solution and this lovely black/purple colourway. This is a padded bra with wires.
On second day of trying it on and hooking straps racerback it fits much better. I just realised that my right side might actually need this cup size. The padding is really deceiving, at first the bra seemed enormus, ... but it isn't that big now - I could actually get away with wearing it, since it keeps everything in place. Band fits like a tight 30, the usual Gossard tightness. I am wearing it on the loosest hook and holds really well. Also, wearing it like a racerback - crossed straps - the wings are less of an issue. I'm still not getting any plunge effect though, for that I'd defnitey need a 32D. I still have the feeling that the cups should be closer together.

This bra is gorgeous. It fits well on the tightest hook. A 30E would likely fit perfectly, but it is out of stock and I don't want to pay to ship this back anyway. I will keep it. It is surprisingly supportive for a single hook band. It gives a really nice lifted shape and the colors (blues with black lace) are stunning. I will add photos soon.

I adore this bra. It is super tight, has lots of padding, and it is low cut. It gives amazing support with or without straps. The straps are fully adjustable.

I measure 27" and 33/34", so I really need a 28 band but Gossard usually has tight 30 bands. This one is insanely tight. If you need a 26 band or something, I would totally recommend this bra. I like my bands as tight as possible, plus this bra is a convertible, so the tightness is welcomed here!

It has three hooks in three columns (finally! They always neglect the "small" sizes) so support is great. I much prefer the ... Superboost to the Egoboost. The Egoboost has a much higher center gore, while Superboost doesn't really have one. This is perfect for me because my breasts are very wide, solid and close together, and with push up padding, they're even closer! I feel a tad crowded in the cups (like they could have toned the padding down a bit), but it is not uncomfortable. Even with the padding and the super tight band, I believe this bra is nice for daily use; I would wear it every day if I had a good collection of them because it is so supportive and makes a great shape.

The cups are seamless and the straps aren't fat and ugly, so it is perfect for tank tops, halter tops, sexy dresses, or tube tops. If you're in the USA, small-boned and want a plunging strapless push-up bra, I suggest going to gossardusa.com and you'll find this bra is on sale. Any questions, please ask.


EDIT: Nothing terrible, but I should point out the cups do cover up a bit more of my boobs (especially in the center) than I'd like in a plunge. So I mainly save this bra for t-shirts, and stick to the Felina Bra of the Year (32D for me) for sexy tops. Just a heads up!

I buy Gossard bras because many of them have tighter bands. I need a 28 band, but many of Gossard's plunges in 30 bands are perfect.

This is not one of those bras. It is not tight and therefore I do not wear it. I love that it is seamless and plunging, but I feel terrible in it.

If you actually are a 30-band, this might be good for you. But do not buy if you are expecting typical Gossard tightness.
