The legendary Natori Feathers...I finally went to Nordstrom to try my usual 30D, but the 32D is definitely the right size for me in this bra -- it's just the wrong shape and cut for me entirely. I wonder if there's a similar bra that isn't quite so shallow? I love the way it's made, with the stretchy mesh and lace overlaying the cups; it does wonderful things for fit, no gapping at all ever! Sigh. And so comfortable, such lovely details, but I feel like it makes my nipples point out toward opposite sides of the room and smooshes my boobs back under my armpits. Apparently I'm not as shallow-shaped as I thought. The never-ending bra journey....continues!

Comfortable. My sensitive skin approves of the lace. My prominent nipples are concealed. This bra actually makes cleavage for me which I had almost decided was impossible. Comfortable and lovely, but it is the wrong shape for my projected, narrow breasts. It is so comfortable, I find myself longing for it in a modified design....Natori, I hope you are reading.

What can I say?! I LOVE this bra!!! I first tried a pre-owned Natori Feathers in nude that I bought from another fellow BTB user https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It was shown lots of love, and rightfully so https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> But the band was rather stretched out and as much as I loved it, I had to part with it as the band was just too loose for me. So I decided to buy one brand new for myself, in the White...so pretty!! And what a difference!

There's just something about the simplicity of this bra that makes me fall in ... love with it! No padding, no push-up...just lightly lined and simple. I love the plunge style, which is oddly enough pretty difficult to find in a bra that isn't padded, a push-up or completely unlined! I think that's what makes this bra somewhat unique and special. So simple, but sexy at the same time. It's not a perfect, "proper" fit, but pretty dang close. The only issue, for me, is the band (as always). I can make do with the 32, but with a 27" underbust, it's def a bit loose. Surprisingly, tho, it's not too bad, esp since this is brand new and "unstretched" out bra. It's pretty snug and tight, for now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> Lol. But everything else fits perfectly. The gore doesn't tack as properly as I guess it should, but it works for me. The width of the cup seems wider than what I would normally do, but it still works. The wires don't dig in or come out too far around my back. They seem perfect. The depth of the cup is just right! No quad boob, no gaping...just right. The straps aren't falling off my shoulders and I like that they're placed farther inward on the back of the band (always seems to make for a more supportive, stable fit for me). I LOVE the shape this bra gives under clothes, and it's a super comfy fit!!! I wanna buy the Feathers in many different colors, and try lots of other styles by Natori!!!

I highly recommend this bra if you're looking for a simple, no push-up padding or cookies bra that can be worn everyday and still provide excellent support and shape without sacrificing comfort!! And I like the White MUCH better than the nude/beige. SO SO pretty!!!

Since the 30C was too small in this bra and I was quadding out of it, I got the 30D. The 30D has its own issues. While I like the tallness of the cups, the cups were too broad and too close together spaced for my far apart spaced breasts. What I really want is a bra with the wire breadth of the 30C and the projection of the 30D, and with cups that are further apart. I got empty fabric on the inner sides of the cups, which is a common problem for people who are wearing too broad cupped bras and have far apart spaced breasts.

Don't mind me, just trying to collect Feathers in every colour over here.

The band runs tight and is stretchy. It works for true 28s and would still be comfortable for true 30s. It has soft, flexible, lined cups that conform to my boobs without gapping or cutting in and are ideal for shallow or full on top shapes as well as close set boobs that don't play nice with high wires at the centre gore. (And yes, I just plagiarized myself but in my defense, the fit is pretty consistent.)

The white colourway is (for now) truly white, not ivory. Hopefully I can keep it that way. I love the look of the lace trim peeking out under low necklines and will try to work this bra into every outfit I wear it with. If you're looking for something to disappear under clothes, I suggest trying one of the two nude options it comes in.

This bra is super comfortable - I hesitate to say "excellent" comfort because I haven't had a bra that fits me well before - so I'm not sure what it's supposed to feel like.

I love that the band is super stretchy - I don't like being squeezed, and the cups are very comfortable. I do notice that the lace overlay wrinkles a bit on the right side - see photo - but other than that it seems fine, and it doesn't seem to show underneath my clothes. Even though the lace wrinkles on the right side a bit, I fill out the bottom of the cups well. (I get wrinkling on the other cup - left cup with the Betsey Johnson Intimates Stocking Stripe Lightly Lined Demi Bra (723803) which I'll post picture of/review soon.

The top of the gore sits against my sternum comfortably, but the lace at the bottom doesn't - does that mean that this doesn't fit me correctly? Or perhaps it's because I'm very small? Help help me, please!

Loved this bra, just wasn't able to fill the cups thanks to short roots and soft tissue.

My shape: slightly shallow teardrop/FOB with super wide/tall roots and very close-set tissue in the middle

This review is for the Indigo colorway.


I bought this bra to take the band in (because I couldn't find it in my size, and the 32s stretch out so fast anyway), but I never got around to it. The blue and the contrasting embroidery is so pretty! This, of course, is why I bought it.

As just the stock bra, the cups fit pretty well, although I probably could have gone with the 34DD since my other Feathers-es are all 32DDD and it's great. The band runs tight, which is consistent with all the Natoris I have tried, and would probably fit someone with a UK 32 much better than me.

I got it with the shorts in a size M, which fit nicely, but I haven't worn them.

This is the best fitting bra I've tried to date. I have it in three colors (nude, black, light pink) and I definitely will be getting more. I have shallow, wide-rooted breasts with fairly even distribution (some say I may be slightly full on top). I am glad that the band on this runs a little firm. My underbust is 28" snug and 27.5" tight; I haven't found a 28 band that wasn't painful for me so a firmer 30 band is favorable for me. I also have a rather bony sternum, so I really do enjoy the lower gore on this one.

I'm ... not sure if this bra runs small in the cup, as my overbust measures 34.5 inches. I also tried this bra in a 30D, which resulted in quadboobing (which wasn't noticeable until I moved the mesh overlay out of the way) and band distortion. The 30DD gives me none of those issues while still remaining supportive, comfortable, and pretty.

If I were to nitpick about something, I feel like the triangular overlay comes up higher than it was designed to. I think this has more to do with my build (petite, long torso, high set breasts) and not the bra itself. The pics I've added show some wrinkling of the cup. That's only the mesh overlay and I was able to pull it up to get rid of the wrinkle. Overall, I really like how this bra fits me!

My proper size is a 28D, and I am a shallow 28D, but for me, underwire in anything higher than a plunge style is extremely uncomfortable and stabs uncomfortably in my chest, so I needed to try some plunge styles that are supposed to be good for shallow breasts - of which there are few. This bra is one of the few that is supposed to be better for shallow breasts, so I figured I would compromise on the band size - and it seems to be okay.

This bra is super comfortable! And fits great! As soon as I put it on, I could tell it was ... going to be awesome. The cup does not quad-boob my larger breast, but still fits my smaller breast well. And it looks really nice, a little sexy! The low gore does not stab me in the chest, which I am really jazzed about.

More than all of that, it just feels really comfortable, especially for a bra with underwire. There is some cute lace on this bra, but it doesn't itch or irritate at all.

The 30 band is fine for me, but I did start wearing it on the middle hook - so I know that it will stretch out quicker than a 28 band will, which is probably the only less-than-ideal aspect of this bra.

Well, that and I'm pretty sure this size is discontinued! But if you can find it somewhere, I highly recommend it.
