(This bra doesn't fit, it was too big and probably the wrong shape. I did have some spilling at the top of the bigger breast, but there was also some amount of empty space at the [is it the apex?], which is more noticeable on the smaller one. Just adding in the measurements) --EDIT-- So looking back at the bra, the empty space here was more were the lower half of the bra joined the mesh portion, I think it has more to do with the stitching than true empty space. It could also be that I've grown since first trying on this bra --END EDIT--
In ...measuring cup depth & cup height, both the minimum and maximum cup depth was measured. To measure the minimum cup depth the bra was hovered between the knees at the tape measure left to hang. The recorded measurement was 14.25 inches. To record the maximum cup depth the cup was stretched over the knee, to the maximum resistance. The recorded measurement was 15 inches.
I had entered in the maximum recorded measurements in the table.
The same was done for the cup height, in which the minimum measurement was 9.75 and the maximum recorded was 10.5 (probably just a little less than that but I wasn't sure how to write the decimal for that)
One other thing to note (I'm somewhere at a 29 inch back). I did find the band to be very stretchy and would've liked it to be a little firmer. Read more 141 more words
Thank you for the informational review! I do these often as well, and find them extra helpful in addition to the measurements to fill in all the pieces to the measurement puzzle.
MamaPagan no problem. I had it lying around (I don't really wear it much due to the fit) and I had some time today so I put it in. I was going to add pictures showing the fit but I couldn't capture the right angle using one hand to take the pictures.
It's so difficult to do, isn't it? Front and Profile photos can be soooooo misleading too! Thank you again for adding it, and the measurements too!
No problem ;)
The unstretched band length also looks very large for a 65/30! I have many 70/32s that are smaller both stretched and unstretched... Do you think it got bigger during wear (or when tried on) and just stayed that way? Or was it just as bad when purchased?
wendybien I know right?? Maybe I just got an off model because, I really haven't it worn it much and the first thing I noticed when I was hooking it up at the back -the very first time-was that, I had it on the tightest hook and could've had it done up tighter (and this is me being used to 30 bands)
Frazzleberry did you purchase it from Zulily? I remember the first Kris Line I got from there--sizing was VERY off. The cup was at least an inch deeper and a solid 2" taller than expected. And it was a 70 band with a normalish unstretched length of 25" but it only stretched to 29" when I pulled with all my might! It had to be mislabeled or else affected by a weird QC error, eg wrong type of band material(s) used by accident / forgot to elasticate a segment of the band altogether.
wendybien I got that one from eBay, maybe they got it from the same batch?
This bra is a color I cant quite figure out - metalic steely gray and lavender? The lace details are lovely.
The cup is a great size for me and gives great uplift and projection. The lace and cup both have a little give, to make it an easy fit for my very different-sized boobs. The straps are fully adjustable, though I cant adjust them while the bra is fully on, as they adjust very low in the back.
This bra has a removable padding - i have not seen this feature before. The inner (cotton!) lining of the lower portion ...of the bra is in two slightly-overlapping sections, so you can open it up and add/remove the padding. The pads are thin, padded, but very large - they cover most of the bra. I tried them in, briefly, and felt it made my breasts look larger - which was not what I wanted - and also I needed to loosen the straps.
I'm not entirely sure why someone would want the pads, but they are there, anyways. Honestly, they looked a bit lumpy - but the entire bra is creased from being in its package so long. I'm sure a good washing would help a lot with that.
The bra band is clearly too small for me. This leads to two problems - the straps are a bit too wide, because the back of the band is not where it is supposed to be. Also, the back of the bra where the strap attaches to the band is too tight and pinches me. Read more 171 more words
