This fit SO poorly. The gore digs in and is very uncomfortable, the v is so wide that my boobs barely sit in the cups.

The cups on this bra have a bit of an interesting shape. When not wearing it, there is almost a straight line between the underwires and the deepest point of the cup when viewed from the side. Because of this, I think it's best for people with full on top to even fullness - I'm ever so slightly full on top and the cup shape creates a slight push-up effect without padding. This bra creates a slightly pointy shape, and the seams on the cup are pretty prominent and show through T-shirts. The bra itself looks really good but I wouldn't wear this for day-to-day wear unless I was wearing a thicker top like a sweater.

ABOUT THIS BRA
This is a very sheer, seamless, molded, full cup, wired bra.

Purchasing:
* $40.90 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns (not Amazon Wardrobe)
* Available in black, white, nude, and ten fun colors.

Construction: Band, strap, and cup construction identical to the 30F - Gossard » Glossies Moulded Bra (6271), except that band is not super stretchy. (Perhaps because this size is black.)


ABOUT ME: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts)
* wide roots (extend to the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm ... & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares


FIT
Band:
* length: stays in place with wear
* wings: looks good immediately after scoop & sweep but tissue escapes with movement

Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.

Straps:
* not too far apart
* adjust short enough

Cups:
* Wires too wide.
* Top of cup: wrinkles (expects more upper fullness)
* Bottom of cup: filled ok but breasts sag below wire
* Cup apex: not deep enough (breasts being smushed into armpit)
* Side view: round, slightly flat, tiny lift
* Front view: wide (east-west) – side support sling not effective, but doesn’t create new bulges
* Tail of Spence enclosed. Outer edge of cup presses on the brachial plexus causing tingling.
* Don't be fooled by the stock photos. This fabric is very, very sheer. Everything shows. (This is a pro or a con, depending on your goals.)

ASSESSMENT & PLAN
* Cups too shallow (too wide yet not deep enough).
* Tried -1 cup size (same band, 30F), but not deep enough so breast smushed into armpit.
* Try +1 cup size (same band, 30G) for more depth but suspect style is too shallow for my shape.

This bra is so beautiful. It was transferred to me from flija in very good used condition. I have quite a round profile normally because I'm center full and quite east/west, so I wanted to try a bra that gives a pointier look! Unfortunately the 30FF is just too small for me, but I do get a pointier profile and I love the colours and the design.

This is not a bra for wearing under t-shirts - the horizontal seam where the padded bottom half meets the mesh upper half is pretty defined under a t-shirt. But I think it will look great with more ... structured tops where the seam is less obvious. The mesh upper cup has two layers of mesh - the top layer has very subtle polka dot pattern. The construction of the bra is overall very good, but the top layer of mesh was sewn on much more loosely than the underlayer - it puckers a little at the corners, even though I am more than filling out the underlayer and the bra is actually too small for me. I am going to cut off the upper layer to see if that improves the look on me, and will post photos of the alteration later. The cups are quite closed on top, I am FOT and I have some trouble with them, so this design might be better suited to FOB shapes. But....it's beautiful! I love red and pink together and I am going to try and track down a 30G.

This is a wearable strapless bra, a first for me. Others said the band was quite tight, but I didn't find that. It is tight but I can still wear it normally and I'm a solid 30 band. The cup is big enough for my smaller side, but the larger side has a bit of a quadraboob effect (but this is often the case for me). The shape this bra gives me is okay. It doesn't give me insane cleavage, perhaps I'm wider-set than I thought. It doesn't fit me perfectly, the gore does not lie flat at all and there is some quadraboob, but overall it is a wearable strapless bra.

This is another bra I tried out in my hunt for a strapless, and it's another bra that didn't work for me. I ordered it in a 30FF (I usually wear a 30FF or 28G depending on band tightness), and while the band fit fine, the cups felt much too large. They top of the cups rested nicely against my chest (the top is kind of closed), but I could definitely feel a lot of room at the top of the cups, some space in the center, and just a tiny bit of room at the bottom. I would have gone down a cup size and tried again, ... but I wasn't really a big fan of the natural/pointy-ish silhouette it gave me, so I didn't bother. In terms of construction and looks, though, it's a very pretty bra and seems well-made and sturdy. It could just be a shape mismatch for me (the cups were too large to tell, really), but I think I'd recommend anyway to try a cup size down from your regular size if you're going to give this one a shot.

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

Nude colorway

The cappuccino colour is gorgeous, a beautiful satin gold, that I was looking forward to show on my sun tan last summer.
The material is soft and nice, and the bra is quite comfortable.
It would be ideal with a low cut top or halterneck (the straps are removable), as the centre gore is really low, and the separation is small.

But, it is not very supportive for my wide set boobs as they are pushing it on the sides, making a weird shape under clothes, with a quadboob effect and flat at the same time.

I think it would be perfect for someone with more projection.

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/

This bra tries a little *too* hard to boost your ego with the amount of padding they put in it. I'm just about falling out of the cups - scratch that, I'm very decidedly falling out. I'd go up a cup size from what you'd normally wear in this bra at least.

It would have been great if the push up part were removeable, I think. The band is nice and firm, with five (five!) hooks in an almost long-line sort of fashion. I like that quite a bit. It's also a smooth and classy looking material. I can't complain about its plunginess, either, which is entirely satisfactory.

I bought this after reading reviews that Gossard came up very snug in the band and I might be able to get away with a 30 while really needing a 28 band. After a few wears I'm on the tightest set of hooks so it won't be working as a 28 band for me. The straps are also only partially adjustable which is an issue for me and I currently have them as tight as they cane go. Despite this, the bra is still pretty comfortable the bra just won't be lasting me very long.

I was so desperate for a strapless bra I tried the Gossard Egoboost Strapless Bra (6288) in three sizes. This one is 30FF in beige. This one and the 30F and 30G all seemed to fit okay, which shows how rigid the cups are. The cups came up so high in all of them, especially in the part near the center gore, that I couldn't wear them under any of the dresses or tops I needed a strapless for.

I also decided that I cannot stand push-up bras. They're uncomfortable. The cups covered so much of my chest that the cleavage push-ups are known for was hidden under the cups.

The band is tight, though. That tightness, combined with the five rows of hooks and eyes, made the Gossard Egoboost Strapless Bras exhausting to put on.

Super soft material and an excellent design. Love the open back panel.

The cups run too small, I get way too much spillage. I ordered it in a 30FF in Jade and hope it will fit better.

Updated on Aug 16, 2013 Flag this

Very pretty and made out of soft, comfortable materials. Unfortunately, the back runs extremely small. I measure as 28" around my ribs (27" break-the-tape style), but usually buy 30" bands for comfort. This bra has a 30" band, but it feels tighter than the 28" bands I own. It fits well with an extender, but that ruins the look of the open gate back. Would definitely recommend ordering up from your regular band size.

The good:
Gorgeous as a bra top
Works well as a strapless and doesn't slip
Has no silicone lining but still doesn't slip

The bad:
Shelf-boob awfully from the side
Band is a very tight 30, tight on my 27.5" ribcage
Cups are a bit big compared to most 30FF

I don't know if it's just me, or if the bra I have is getting old, or what, but all the little sparkly bits on the straps are super itchy! It also doesn't come close to tacking at the gore. I'd say it runs about a cup size small.

This is a truly beautiful bra. It looks almost Italian with it's white fabric and bronze fasteners and the cup reminds me a bit of a seashell. The shape it gives me is different. It's rounded, but with shape to it. It's not quite pointy and not quite flat either. It's very mature looking. My only problem is that the straps, even though I know they're stretchy in the back, don't stretch in the front, leaving me in the conundrum where the straps are adjusted long enough, but still dig in slightly.

The band on this is a smidge loose, but not bad. It has cut outs on the band which add to the beauty of the bra. I believe this is a multiway, though I haven't tried it, nor have I found much information on this bra so far. It's a pretty soft pink with silver stitching accents. It's soft and comfortable and one that I can see wearing frequently. It gives a great lift and looks great. One thing that was a surprise was the straps. They are tiny, which is definitely not what I'm used to. They are only about 1/2" compared to the 3/4-1 inch that I'm used to. A great bra!
