Pros: comfortable, soft, well made Cons: super stretchy band, lace and zebra stripes pattern
I altered this bra's band. It's still a bit loose. The fit isn't horrible any more, however, which I think is quite telling. The cups provide a nice shape.
But lace and zebra stripes? Just...why? I like the lace though.
This is the first bra I ever altered. It had been my favourite bra, and a favourite bra is certainly not a place to learn about bra construction. I messed this one up by removing too much of the band on the right side. It is now tricky to get on because the clasps and hooks are by my shoulder blade. The right cup now pulls back, and the right strap is on the wrong side of my shoulder blade. Meanwhile, it quadboobs on the left. My error made the shape of the cups worse off than they started. It's wearable, but itchy around the straps and wings
Prior to the alteration, it was aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, soft, itch-free, and way too big in the band. Alas.
The pattern isn't my style, but it was on sale and the style I liked. This bra was fantastic minus the band. It's very soft, comfortable, and has a minimal and gentle centre gore. The band is way too stretchy and also pulls on the cups when it stretches. I'm thinking it may be worth altering the band.
This bra has been worn many, many times, and I don't think it has aged well aesthetically. The band is stretchy, the cups aren't as shapely as they once were (or maybe they aren't sitting right?), and it's rather discoloured (I think it started off nude, and is now rather pinky-beige). There aren't any loose threads/holes/signs of wear otherwise, though. It's definitely well-made overall.
It was great in its prime. It was comfortable, soft, had great shape, and a pleasingly minimal centre gore that didn't irritate my sternum.
At one point, these were the only bras I wore. Unfortunately learning about the swoop and scoop ruined them all for me as they all quadboobed afterwards. I tried them on again after more than a year and--surpise!--no quadboob! It fits a whole lot better than I thought it would.
Pros: thick wings, gore doesn't dig in, comfortable, soft Cons: sometimes the shape of the cups is weird for my breasts, band is gigantic for my frame
Originally this bra was too loose in the band, and the cups were pretty far apart. I altered it by taking in the gore and shortening the band. The band now fits snugly. The shape of the cups is a tad wide now, but it works pretty well. I like the look and the feel of the bras in this line though, and I'm satisfied with the alteration.
Like the other 34D plunge Perfectly Me bras I have worn, this one is aesthetically pleasing and comfortable but far too loose in the band. It also gives a slight quadboob. This one may be a dud, as the strap connector in the back on the right side tore pretty quickly.
I've worn this bra a lot, and as the band was already too large, it has loosened to the point where it is unwearable. This bra gives a nice round shape and excellent cleavage. It often gives me a quadboob. My favourite feature is the tiny centre gore.
Aesthetically, I love it. I don't see white lace over black often enough.
This bra feels fairly cheaply made. The cups are firm. This one does provide a nice shape, but it's stiff. The gore doesn't tack for me. I haven't worn this one, so the band is actually pretty snug. Unfortunately La Senza bras stretch significantly very quickly, so it will probably be too large in a wear or two. I'll update this after wearing it a time or two.
This bra is pretty, soft, and very well made. It's quite comfortable, but unfortunately the band is way too large for me. There isn't much of an underwire (this may even be designed without one?). The lack of underwire means that this bra has a pretty weird construction. It angles where the underwire would be, and sits oddly on my ribs. Sometimes the cups flatten out after wearing it for a while. It also quadboobs. The cups are kind of far apart, but I appreciate the minimal centre gore.
This was one of my favourite bras around the time I exited the bra matrix. I find La Senza bra bands to be very stretchy; this band is way too large for me. It's unfortunate, because this bra is pretty great: it's soft, seamless, has no real underwire, and is aesthetically pleasing. It also gives a lot of cleavage. I find that the shape of it changes as the day goes on - from round to a little bit more flat. It also gives me a quad-boob when I swoop and scoop. The cups are rather far apart.
This bra is not the right size for me. The band is way too large, which causes a bunch of other fit issues. There is no lift because there is no support, and so this bra makes my breasts look droopy at the same time as it cuts into them. I've also noticed while trying it on that the strap on the left side sometimes slides out.
On the plus side, this bra is made out of a nice stretchy material, and the lace is pretty.
This bra is definitely not the right size for me, but I think it would be worth altering because it's very comfortable! It doesn't have much of an underwire, is soft, and has very seamless stitching. The cups and wings are cut like waves. The sides of the cup towards the arm pit kind of gape a bit, but this could probably be fixed with a tighter band. It gives great cleavage, but quadboobs a bit after extended wear. The straps also dig into my shoulders, but again, this returns to the band being too loose. The colour is pretty obnoxious: neon pink lace patterns over neon orange.
This was the first bra I ever bought that fit half decent. The band isn't too large for once. The band is snug and doesn't move around. I also like how the cups are close together and it doesn't appear to flatten me out or pull my breasts too far apart. My only issue is that when I scoop myself into the bra I get a mean case of quad boob, and if I don't it feels like in escaping out the sides of the bra a bit. I would try it in a cup size up, but they don't sell the 30 band size any more!
lol at the "I type with my boobs" picture :P
