oh this bra, this beautiful bra, how i wish we were meant to be! the colors is a sweet sheer butter yellow with white polka dots, lace trimmed cups, and a few small white bows. the straps are comfy, the cups are the narrowest ive tried in my size (5 inches!) , and the band runs snug enough for my in-between-32-and-34 band.
sadly, the fit of the cups is completely off. the bottom half of the cup is great- im lifted, rounded, super awesome. the top half is where i run into issues. to be honest, i was pretty sure this would happen, since ... my Tall/Large shallow shape means i need cups that aren't closed off on top, and this is a balconette cut, which usually ends badly. i thought perhaps this would be a stretchy mesh, but it isnt, so it both gapes in the top half of the lace (because i dont have much upper volume) and cuts in along the top of the cup (because of my tall root). i also get some wrinkling at the apex of the cup, and my short boobs cant get into the apex.
i wish this were in a half cup design! I'm absolutely devastated that its so pretty and so wrong for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> especially since the wires are so narrow- i only see 5 inch widths in a few cup sizes down, so i was hoping this would work out. i'll hopefully be able to sell it, or else 'll have to try and make the return date!
as a side note- i also have the matching panties in a size UK18, which is supposed to line up with my US 16 pant size, and they are HUGE. not sure if thats just me not being good at UK size charts, or f these run large, but i'll also be returning them/selling them.
