I'm pretty sure these Gossard plunges are just perfect with me - except that I think that 30DD would be better or at least just as good. I love the feeling of this bra and am impressed at how snug the band is with just one clasp. Plus with the band the way it is will make it super easy to take the band in a lot. Also!!! This is a multi-way bra which I think is awesome. I really think this bra is one of them that I could wear showing under other clothes (maybe..)!
Well, I reallllly wanted to try this bra and my size seemed to have been pointing towards needing a larger cup size, so when I found this in the 30DD I was super excited! Turns out this bra is suited to someone who is very shallow and has a wide root. This bra is also suuuper tight and is probably more like a 26F (possibly a 26FF) as it only stretches to 27" inches. As someone who has a 27" UB, this was awesome especially for a strapless bra. It was still a tad too tight for me; if I were going to keep it I would wear it with an extender a few times. I will really want to try this bra in a 30D and would consider this in a 32B/C if the price is right as the band is SUPER tight.
I have this bra in beige and purple in this size. The beige is definitely taller in the cup as well as on the sides. The wires are also slightly longer (by about a quarter inch). I'm full in the middle and I find that the cup closes a bit sooner on the beige than on the purple. The differences aren't major enough for me to prefer one over the other.
Edit: the hook/clasp on the multiway strap broke. IT'S PLASTIC O__O. Wrote an adventure http://bra.pe/ABOj/
I have a wide root and shallow boobs. I do need flat cups but not extraordinary wide wires. I almost don't have any volume on top. I usually wear this bra when my boobs are smaller during the first weeks after my mestruation.
The band runs really tight I can only fasten it at the last hook. The cups are shallow and very open on top. The wires are wide and perfectly fit me even though I sized down due to my breast size changes. First the material is a little scratchy but it gets softer after washing it.
I didn't have much faith in this brand because I haven't seen much info in the full bust community blogs, but I took the risk anyway because the bra looked gorgeous.
It paid off. The bra is beautiful and fits like a dream my FoT boobs. Gives me great cleavage and a super round shape. Too 'in your face' for everyday wear, though. The band feels firm, more like Cleo than Freya or CK. The depth is lovely, in CK I usually have to size up 1 or 2 sizes and can get a bit of 'orange in a glass' effect. In this bra the cups run TTS to large, I do not recommend sizing up.
My usual Panache size is 28F. This bra runs tight in the band which means it fits me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Cups are the right size but not the right shape for me. They are a little too closed on top, they cut in a little bit. The bra also feels a little odd when wearing it, I cannot describe it, the shape just is not quite right. The shape I get from it is however looks okay. It is quite rounded, not pointy, but not very lifted either. Straps adjust all the way.
This bra is soo pretty. My experiences with this bra have made me realize that my breasts might not be full enough on top for me to wear certain styles, because while my breasts fit into the tops of the cups, the lace along the edge does not exactly lay flat entirely. The band is too large for me, but it is comfortable. While the band is too large for me, the biggest issue I have with fit is that my breasts don't fill the cups of the bra all of the way. The bra looks too large for my breasts. The material of the cups is comfortable and I forgot to mention that the version of the Plunge that I have is a soft cup, and it feel excellent for those times when my breasts swell up. With that being said this bra does not provide much lift, and that makes it extremely comfortable indeed.
I got this bra sometime ago when I was trying to determine my size, so it was too small for me in the cups. I love the design - the pattern on the cups is lovely dots/circles. The bra has few interesting details, such as oversized straps, a band with overly ruching and an oversized bow. The material that covers the cups, the straps, the backband and the bow is a nice silk blend that feel luxurious. The inside of the cups is cotton. Sadly this was too small for me.
My favourite thing about this bra is how minimalist the design is. The straps are thin, which works under thin strapped tank tops. The band is not your conventional solid band at the back, but instead parts into 2 thin straps that meet again where there hooks are. The 30G gives me a lot more projection than my 30FF bras in this style. There is, however, more side coverage. Not sure which fit I prefer so I ended up keeping bras is both sizes.
My only gripe about Gossard Superboost bras, is that the straps don't adjust nearly long enough to wear comfortably as a multiway. The straps only adjust halfway.
This bra is entirely too small for me. I took a chance and sized down a few cups hoping to get shelf-like cleavage for a low neckline shirt, but in sizing down, the wires became much too narrow and small.
The bra is otherwise very attractive and would work well as a strapless or multiway. I can't comment on the shape it's supposed to give as the fit is so bad. What I can say is that the band is sturdy and tight, but it could just be that it was meant for a much smaller overall bust measurement.
I like the colour of this bra better than the white. It's very pretty on! Unfortunately the colour does not take away the issues I have with this bra - the itchiness from the fabric around the nipples and the under wires. I do not believe that the fabric agrees with my sensitive skin (this one is 69% polyamide, 22% polyester, and 9% elastane). I actually find it itchier than the white. It may also be the construction. The stitch lines land right on the nipple because of the sheer fabric. It is also looser in the band than the white. It gives a nice classic shape - rounded, flat going inward, and slightly pointy but not in a dramatic way.
I want to love this bra. I love the sheer look, and it gives a very classic shape (rounded with a slight flattening as the breasts go inwards; almost pointy, but not alarming). It fits nicely in the band, unlike my red one which seems quite a bit looser. Unfortunately the material it is made from is not compatible with my sensitive skin. The tag says 77% polyamide, 13% elastane, and 10% polyester. It becomes impossible to forget that I am wearing this bra. The fabric is especially bothersome around the nipples and the underwire (though, again, not as bad as the red one). Also, sometimes it takes a few tries to put in on properly. It requires swooping and scooping from the sides - so up and inward, instead of just up (or maybe this should be apart of my normal practice?) - for the cups to sit right.
Having tried the larger cup(34g) and not filling it at top, I have decided to keep this even though I have a v slight over hang at front, will post pics soon. This does give a good cleavage for me 34ff, and my boobs are bottom heavy. I would say band fits true to size. It doesn't give as rounded a shape as @Wonderbra and sort of pushes my boobs out a bit as well as together.
Runs WAY smaller in the band and cup than a normal 30E. I had to use a spacer to give it two extra hooks to make the band fit. The sequin are uncomfortable and the thread holding them on catch and snag on each other. If you can find your right size and really want the sequin look, seems high quality.
Excellent bra for shallow bras, although I did find the top to be rather projected. The bra is moulded into a wireless shape, and provides excellent support. The band, as is usual with Gossard, runs small.
This bra definitely gives me more of a retro look than I was expecting (likely because my breasts are fuller on the bottom and don't have as much tissue on top, the half padding lends itself to a more pointy or bullet shaped silhouette) but that's not necessarily a bad thing... just means I won't be wearing it under t-shirts as often as I would button-downs and structured blouses. That being said the seam that runs horizontally across the bra attaching the padding to the lacy upper-cup is quite visible through shirts as well. The quality of this bra seems excellent and it really is lovely to look at. Wish it fit me a little better, but it's not off enough to return it.
did yours come with removable padding?
