This bra is ALMOST it! If the strap wasn't so short, I might keep it. The other bra of the same brand and same band size had a longer band.
The straps were *barely* long enough, but enough is good enough.
The underwire was comfortably wide enough, the spacing was wide enough.
I would prefer the underwire to come up higher on the side, to gather in the stray tissue under my arm.

Seems a tad too small and shallow for me. When I scoop and swoop, my nips escape and I have to push them back into the cups. The quad-boob is disguised by the lace though. I also get an indentation in the bottom of the cup, I think because it is too shallow and my boobs are trying to push the fabric out more than it can go. But it's so soft and pretty, I still want to wear it!

Literally the perfect bra for me. It has a tight band for sure though, I got a 30D even though 28 bands are normally my size. At a 30D I wear it on the loosest hook and still have very little room when I pull the back of the bra. It's also very cute, lots of lace but not the itchy kind.

I love this bra! Finally - a bra that fits!! This fits my very shallow, outer fullness, tall and wide rooted, close together breasts well. I ended up getting it in 'marigold' because it was less expensive than other colors, so I don't love it, but it's a great fit. I love that I can wear plunging necklines too - which I've never been able to do before. And I love that it gives me a little bit of cleavage - tahdah! This is the first bra I've gotten that fits, so I'm have a big moment - obviously.

The band is a bit tight when I first ... put it on but it got comfortable enough after a couple of hours of wear. I have a prominent ToS and this bra covers it! I've able to scoop and swoop all in and everything stays in place. The wire also sits comfortably in my IMF too.

I've abandoned all of my old bras - I'm probably doing to donate all of them, like 15 of them, to the DAV thrift store. My old bras were 34A and 32B. So glad that I don't have to deal with wearing those uncomfortable things ever again. I am so happy that I finally have a comfy bra that fits!

I can't figure this one out. I think I'm swooping/scooping as if I am wearing the similarly-shaped Lucia from The Little Bra Company, but that one is a push-up padded plunge. This one is a molded-lined shallow cup. So I end up scooping all my boob right out of the cup! But once I let it settle back into the cup properly, it seems to fit okay, with just maybe a little bit of space in the center-bottom? I'm torn. If this were a $20-$30 dollar bra, I'd keep it. But for almost $70, it's just not quite a good enough fit. Maybe an ebay purchase for me. It's pretty, comes in many pretty colors, and does look smooth under t-shirts.

Both of my "good fit" bras dig into my sternum. I solved this by putting a little padding under the tops of the wires, right in the center. I wonder if this has something to do with the way my body is shaped. I tried bending the wires and that didn't help at all. It's not the ideal solution, but in the short term, until I figure it out, I can live with it.

I really wanted to love this bra, but it just didn't live up to its first impression. I really should have looked up Bratabase reviews first, because I would have known about the cup and band sizes running small. I could just barely fasten the bra on the loosest hook, and got slight quadboob when I swooped and scooped. Despite that I was this close to immediately buying another in a different size, because the fit was nearly perfect, as close as I've gotten so far. The quadding wasn't severe, pretty much undetectible unless I pulled the lace back to expose the cup, and the band was ... fine with an extender. Ah, if only those were the only issues.

Unfortunately enough more serious problems cropped up. My left armpit chafed red from where the top of the cup and the strap dug in, and the band got progressively scratchier the longer I kept it on. I suspect it's my scoliosis that had only my left side chafing.

In any case, the mildly off fit was absolutely negligible (especially as I had intent to purchase the same model in a different size) but the chafing was absolutely not. I'd rather not form calluses under my armpit, thanks.

+Update: Soaked in Eucalan for a few hours and now it... works..? Kind of? The band tightness is still present and it shifts down with extended wear, but the material doesn't scratch anymore.

I got this from u/la_reve on r/braswap. It doesn't fit quite as nicely as the 30C but is still definitely wearable.

The band stretches out waaaay more than any of my 30C Feathers. I assume this is because it's been worn a lot already. I currently need to wear it on the tightest hook, so it's going to need some alterations soon. No big deal, what else is new.

The cups feel way wider to me than the 30C. I definitely have some empty space in the sides, but it's not visible or uncomfortable so whatever. I must have narrow roots because most 28DD/30D bras tend to be too wide, ... while 28D/30C is usually narrow enough... or at least narrow enough for me not to notice.

I also get some gaping if I slouch, but otherwise it looks fine. Maybe a bit more coverage than the 30C. The cups are super flexible and the mesh acts like a sling, so the fit is extremely forgiving even if the size is slightly off.

Overall, very glad I got this one cheap. If (or when) I buy more Feathers though, I think I'll stick with 30C. EDIT: 2015/Oct. Seems to fit way better now actually. Hasn't been gapping at all lately and the only real difference between it and the 30C is that this is higher coverage. -Shrug-

This is the first bra I ever found that fit me -- not just kind of fit, but really fit as if it were made for me. After three years of frequent use, the band is stretched a little, but going in a hook takes care of the problem. In this older model, the cafe color is a paler, pinker beige than the 2014 model, and you may be able to see in the pictures (when I get them posted) that the lace has faded slightly after heavy use and possible contact with clearasil. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_confused.gif" alt=":-S" />

I have small, shallow, wide-set, full-on-bottom boobs, in case that helps you decide whether this bra is a good fit for you. I love how this bra brings the girls slightly forward and gives me a nice round silhouette. My only complaint is that the lace texture can show slightly through t-shirts. If that were solved, this bra would be absolutely perfect.

This is my fourth "Feathers" bra, and I'm happy to say that the fit and comfort on this year's model are still excellent. The turquoise color is pretty, but so bright that it shows through light-colored shirts, so it's not as useful as my older beige versions. In the winter that won't be as much of an issue, and I'm glad to have another everyday bra that makes me look good and is comfy enough to forget about.
