Too shallow and wide. The 30DD fits better than the 30D as far as cup size goes, but it's still too shallow for my shape. The bottom of the cup wrinkles a lot and it just flattens me out overall. It gives a lot of cleavage. I'm not sure if it's supposed to give that much cleavage, maybe I should be wearing a 30E. Regardless, this bra is just incompatible with my narrow roots and projection. It's still pretty comfortable though, and it's smooth under clothing. The top edge of the cups where the straps meet always peek out of tank tops.. annoying. It was pretty itchy when I first bought it, but it's better now.

Wanted to love but cups cut into sides and all of the fabric on the top of the bra felt empty and a bit weird.

I picked this bra up as a first recommedation for shallow shapes. In that respect, it is amazing. I get zero gaping at the top of the cups which was a first for me and it is just beautiful. The lace is gorgeous. It sits low enough that I can wear a deep v and it will never show. My only issue is that the cups are ever so slightly not wide enough. When I first scoop and swoop it feels okay but after a bit of movement, I can feel my breasts escaping slightly at the outside edge of the cup. I'm going to try sizing down in the band to see if it resolves the issue but honestly, I will continue to wear this bra even with that minor issue.

I had this is 30D, which was small in both band and cup, so I got a 32D- turns out the inner cup under the lace was supposed to cover more than your nipples. I thought it was supposed to fit like a quarter cup from wearing the 30D... Oops. The cups are still wide though, I just wish it was narrower and more projected. Even sized up my boobs shift the bra down because there's no room.

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.

This bra is beautiful! Sexy, comfortable and sophisticated. The cups are made of a very thin foam, which provides modesty without bulk. They are overlain with black mesh and trimmed along the top with black lace. A small portion of the mesh is visible between the cup and the strap, making it look a little more sexy than if it were solid throughout. The wings are made of a gorgeous patterned black mesh and lace. Simply beautiful!! I wish it had fit me.

I got this from Nordstrom after getting fitted for the first time. However, I still don't think it's the right size. I've been pouring over the ABTF subreddit the past two days, so please bear with me as I continue to learn about the correct terminology.

When I first put it on, the fit feels ok. However, swooping and scooping immediately caused quadding. The 30" band is too big, as I'm able to pull about 2" on the loosest hooks. The center gore tilts slightly away from the sternum on the bottom. The underwire curve too deep under the arms, where I don't have any more tissue. This causes some slight wrinkling on the side of the cups. I think if the cups are slightly closer together, then I wouldn't have quadding and the underwire should encapsulate the whole tissue?

The bra is super comfy. It gives great cleavage if you do the whole swoop + scoop thing. It's great for low-cut tops, and also works as a "t-shirt bra," appearing smooth under thing fabrics.
But, be warned, the lace band, though beautiful, is very stretchy, and stretches out quickly.

This is my second Natori Feathers, also bought on eBay like my first one, which was yellow. I don't buy them for colours, just for price, since I'm a student without the sort of money that I'd need to buy 68$ bras all over the place. As it is, I love this just as much as my older one. I'm also impressed, now that I have a new one and one I've been wearing almost daily for 4 months, that my older one has barely stretched - it was a fear of mine that the mesh band material wouldn't be strong enough to hold its elasticity. The rest ... of the review is the same as my other Natori Feathers as it's extremely consistent in sizing and comfort across colour ways.

This is extremely comfortable and lightweight. I also like that the band is mesh, because I get very sweaty around my torso and it breathes better than it would otherwise. As said by many reviewers, it runs a little small in the cups, and I had to get a 30DD (my regular size is 30D.)

Furthermore, I'm impressed by how well it sits considering I have a ~2 cup difference in the size of my breasts. It fits my larger side perfectly but doesn't gape bizarrely on the smaller size, since the lace on the top of the cups is elasticized. The lace sits flush against my skin on both sides, which is really quite impressive.

This is the first bra-that-fits of my life, and I'm in love. I tried on the same bra in a different colour way at Nordstrom but couldn't afford a 68$ price tag, so I waited until I could find this one on eBay for much less.
