However, up until I realised I can't take it anymore, this bra (in all its colourways) used to be my workhorse bra.
So since the size is completely off for me, I will not be focusing on how it fit me. In the photos it looks semi-decent, but there are many many issues with it (boobs touching, trims cutting in wherever they can, major quadding, band riding up, empty space all over cause of my shape, etc.)
Desire is a long running Lindex (Swedish a-la H&M brand) wireless, moulded, t-shirt bra. I have bought it over the years in many many different colourways (and ...some variations) because where I live, it was the largest cup bra I could find.
I think Desire offers great support, considering it's wireless. The band was much too large for me just on the basis that it was a 75, and I'm a 70, however, I think the band runs more like an 80 anyway. The bra in general runs more like an 80E. Putting on this bra after wearing proper sized bands feels really really weird and off. I've actually lost a ton of weight, so at some point the 80 bands fit very well, and this bra was very supportive in the band for me and alleviated my neck and shoulder pain very well.
It has a full band, attached to very strong seams that dummy wire channels. These also always felt fairly strong and supportive. At first. Unfortunately, as a wireless bra it lacks, well, wire. Therefore even if after putting it on everything was in place, my boobs would still sort of fold over in it throughout the day and while it wasn't that uncomfortable, the support suffered, A LOT. The seams would get misshapen and pretty much would never be the same when it's on as when it's off (if that makes sense).
The bra also features a 'gore' of sorts. It's a wireless bra, so I never expected it to tack. I absolutely hate my boobs touching and the butt crack (idk if that's what it's 'officially' called) cleavage this bra (always) gave me, however, I saw it as just a necessary evil of sorts.
I think, for smaller busted women looking for wireless bras this would work really well. It is fairly projected. Read more 276 more words
This bra is not correct for me, but it has some good aspects to it. The wires do not feel uncomfortable, and the bra itself is soft on the inside. For me the band was too big, there was this gap in between the rim of the bra and my boobs and the cups where not the correct shape for me.
The cups in this bra are moulded and would probably fit someone with full-on-top breasts better, since I have fuller on bottom breasts and usually get some space left over on top. Even if I scoop n' swoop it eventually goes back to where it was and I'm left with the space again. I did try on the cupsize below, but that one just did not fit me at all, so I guess ideally I'd wear something in between. Or maybe I'm just not fit for fullcup bras.
The band is tight, but it stretched out over time as it's supposed to and now fits me better, not too tightly.
The wires hurt me a bit in the front at first, but I think that's because of the way my ribcage is shaped (it kind of swoops outwards at the bottom) but they are wide and encase all my breast tissue comfortably otherwise.
The gore sits flat against my sternum and does not poke me, it's not too wide and not too narrow for me, just right.
Lindex was the only place where I could go to physically try on and get a bra that would actually fit me. Yes, I did say WAS. According to their website, they are no longer making anything other than A and B in the 65 band. The ONE BRA they produced in this size. Thanks Lindex... Which is why as soon as I realized this fact I ran to the store and bought this bra in white and nude since I already had the black and was happy enough with it.
This review applies to all 3 colours since they are the same bra.
The cups are moulded and would probably be ...better for someone with a more full-on-top type of breast, since I have fuller bottom breasts and usually get some space left over on top, even if I scoop n' swoop (it eventually goes back to where it was and I'm left with the space again). I did try on the cupsize below, but that one just did not fit me, so I guess ideally I'd wear something in between. Or maybe I'm just not fit for fullcup bras.
The band is tight, and I would like to say it's true to size but this literally was the first bra I've ever tried on (hell, the first one I've ever SEEN) with a 65 band, so I can't be sure. The band stretched out over time as it's supposed to and now fits me better. I did try on this bra in a 70 band, but found I could easily fit my whole hand under the band so I went down to 65 (again, something inbetween would have been perfect lol)
The wires hurt me a bit in the front at first, but I think thats because of the way my ribcage is shaped (it kind of swoops outwards at the bottom) but they are wide and encase all my breast tissue comfortably otherwise.

Each bra cost me about 400 Kc (about 15 euro) which is reasonable overall, I guess.
It is a shame Lindex no longer seem to be making these, since when I found them I actually was hoping they would make the size in more models. Oh well... Read more 279 more words
It's wire free and very comfortable but very shallow, even for me, a shallow-chested person. Material stretches out quite quickly but for the price I am very happy with it.
The fit of this bra isn't bad, but I don't think its shape is compatible with the shape of my breasts. I fill out the cups fine, but I don't have a lot of projection and have pretty soft tissue. Because of this, the cups don't keep the shape perfectly - they kind of sag down. It's minimal and outwardly unnoticeable, but it's enough to bother me. The cups are also kind of loose on the sides/top - which, again, I lack the projection to fill out. The gore floats slightly with movement. The straps are a bit too far apart.
The band is true to size.
The colour is much more powdery than in the stock photo. It's a nice minty/pastel green.
This was the last bra I got before I was fitted into a 30FF (and eventually a 30G), so I don't think I ever wore it. As it's completely the wrong size for me, I can really only review the bra's appearance. The cups are moulded, layered with a delicate-looking stretch lace on top, which extends to half of the band. The whole thing is a beautiful minty/sky blue type of colour. Straps are only half adjustable, but it would be easy to alter them shorter. The material (90% polyamide/nylon, 10% elastane, easy to dye!) is very soft, I wish manufacturers of large cup bras used fabrics like this.
I have zero intention of trying this on, as it's for my sister, not for me. It looks a fair bit too big for her, so I will probably end up listing this eventually. My mom and sister are about the same size, so I might as well see if she wants it if it doesn't work for sis, though it might be too big for mom as well and she probably won't dig the seams and lace.
Got it for my sister, I think it's cute, but I worry that she won't dig the sheerness and the nice details, as the women in my family tend to lean towards a more utilitarian look. Regardless, she says she'll happily take what she can get for now. Normally spaced hooks on this one, so if an extender is needed, I'll be ready with one!

I like this nude colour, it's light enough to actually be quite close to my pasty skin tone. Read more 87 more words
