This one wasn't as bad as the Skinz Underwire T-Shirt Bra. I still quadded at the top edges of the cups and the overall cup volume might run small.

I've had this bra for a very long time, and it's held up well despite heavy wear.

Straps are very thin so they dig in, additionally they are NOT fully adjustable so a good portion of the strap is made up of mesh material, the part that hangs over your shoulder of course. Can be slightly itchy, but I think this about all mesh or lace materials unless unusually soft/stretchy/smooth. Padding is very soft in the cup. The strap separation is my biggest fit problem. The other fit problem being that the gore is a bit low for me. I have gaping near the gore and the apex. It is typical for me to have gaping at my apex. My chest is average as far as space between breasts. I typically prefer lower gores, but not this low. P.S. I've worn this less than 10 times. My true size is 30DD/E 32C/D is my secondary 34B/C is my tertiary.

This is the second Honeydew bra I have tried, and unfortunately this style didn't work for me either. I liked the idea of this being a seamless bra with a wide elastic gated back like the Freya Fancies I love so much, but the fit of this wasn't quite right.

Overall the band is snug and runs TTS. Because of the strong elastic used in the gate back, it feels almost too snug. I have very little body fat, but I could see this causing very unflattering back fat if you have more squish. However, it would function almost as a low-back bra and would allow you to wear ... slightly more low-cut styles in the back, which is nice. The main issue for me in terms of fit is that the cups are just too small. The cup shape is rather closed and as a result cuts into my roots on both sides. Although the measurements indicate this is pretty TTS for a 30DD, in practice I end up spilling out of the top. I'm not sure why this is happening--could be a combination of the cut and the flimsiness of the cup foam, but I would definitely need to size up in cup size for this style, and I don't think that Honeydew makes a DDD cup size.

As I mentioned in my previous review for the Honeydew Camellia bra, the interior of the cups is lined with a peached microfiber that gives me the creeps to touch, and there is very limited space available to adjust the straps. Ultimately, this style isn't for me, but it might work for someone who needs a wider wire but has shorter roots or is very shallow on top.

I have been wearing the Honeydew Camellia bralette for years, but I don't think I've tried any of their bras, since the only one I've seen in stores has been the padded push up version of this bra. I decided to order it to try.

Honestly, I was pretty surprised. This is a very comfortable bra and the band runs TTS. It is one of the very few department store bras that has a snug 30 band, although it is on the flimsy side and will probably stretch out. The cups also seem to run true to size and fit me really well.

The outside of ... the cups are the same camellia lace as the bralette, and the bra has similar twinned straps as well. The straps were a problem for me as they actually did not adjust short enough on me, as the adjustable portion is quite short. I am 5'1" with a normal torso proportion, so I don't think this will work on anyone petite or even just short.

Now, I could've sewn the straps shorter myself, but I couldn't get past the peached microfiber used as the cup lining. This texture makes my skin crawl, and while I didn't notice any discomfort while wearing the bra, it really creeps me out to handle it. Unfortunately for those two reasons I will not be keeping this bra. However, I am pleased to find that it is a nice snug TTS fit in 30D.

This one is another dud. It's a standard Honeydew fit: very shallow, cuts into flesh at top edges of cups, may run small.

I don't think Honeydew bras are good for me. They all seem to be very shallow, especially at the bottom parts of the cups. I quadboob at the top edges of the cups. Their bras might run a bit small. This was not a good fit for me.

Cute bra. I could not find it in my size. I was hopeful this one would work, but the band was clearly too big. Fits well otherwise, so I'm guessing it's pretty true to size.

The molded cups are very comfortable, though I can't quite fill them on the top. The underwire isn't uncomfortable, but could be more comfortable with a bit more padding. The straps are not set too far apart, but has two thin 1/4 in. straps on each side, rather than one wider strap. I would prefer if it just had one thicker strap on each side. When I first bought it the band felt a bit tight, but after a few weeks it wasn't a problem anymore.

There are a couple areas on the cups where the lace has loose threads. Over time i have found that the lace on the sides tears a bit. This was probably made worse because I sometimes put my bras in the washing machine instead of hand washing them.

Feels a lot tighter than a 32, probably more like a 30. Got it as a gift, definitely doesn't fit me!

Band is too big, cups too small. Not crazy about the shape either.

I had been wearing a 32B, until I bought this bra, and the cups fit so much better. However, the band was still too big. The color and embroidery are very pretty, but I'd prefer it in a 30D.
