It fit well. After a few hours the underwrites were really digging into my ribs. Returned it.

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.

I loved this bra so much. It doesn't show under anything no matter how low cut, and the black straps make it ok to show with thin tank top straps. Unfortunately I need the 30DDD in this model now, which has been discontinued. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I'm sorry I cannot provide measurements, as I have not figured out how to measure bras yet. Since they stopped making this bra, I'll keep wearing my 30DD in Gunmetal, but I look like the stock photo in it, which is obviously ridiculous.

The only bra I own that is low enough for tank tops. I wish it was in Gunmetal. If it was, I'd buy 5 of them! I have no idea why they discontinued it. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Natori has so many cute bras, but so few of them come in 30. I'm a 24 band, so 30 is really my limit.

It's the only comfortable bra I own which actually fits. The band is a little loose, but I hardly care. My only complaint is that the lace on the straps is visible with certain low cut tank tops, and it likewise can't be worn with spaghetti strap tops. If it came "lace free" it would be perfect.

I picked this bra up at nordstroms and it was, story of my bra life, the closest bra to fitting so I settled for it. Since then I have learned so much more about bras and fit. This bra doesn't allow for enough immediate projection near my underbust and as a result the bottom of the cup wrinkles and sticks to my ribs while causing quad boob at the top. I may try the 30 DDD if I can find one, but other wise this bra is too small in the cup and doesn't suite my particular vertically-shallow but still projected shape.

I don't have much experience with Natori, but based on this bra and a few others, they definitely run large in the cup. The sizing is US, so this should equate to a 32F in UK sizing. I typically wear a 30F in freya and a 65FF in Ewa. This bra was way too big on me, so keep that in mind with my review. I also reviewed a 32DDD (still too big).

This bra is an awesome shade of purple, and I'm really sad it didn't fit. The cups were far too large, and while the band *fit*, it would probably stretch out very quickly. This ... is an encapsulation style bra. The straps are nice and thick, and you can cross them in the back. They are a little unique (its not your usual doubled over strap slider thing, but the same hook you would see on the end of a multiway bra, with multiple discrete loops for it to hook on). It took some getting used to - if you have to hook the straps all the way up, you have a long tail of strap that just kind of hangs out back there. However, this could be because the bra was way too big for me, so I needed the tightest straps possible to assess fit. I really like how they cross however - the j-hook on the Panache sports bra seems way too close to my neck for comfort, while these straps put the cross square in the middle of my shoulder blades.

I strongly recommend sizing down in this bra (remember, I'm a 30F/FF and the 32DDD was still too big for me). The bra also seemed very tall at the sides (and rubbed in my armpits), but if you have enough boob to fill it out, that may not actually be an issue - it just was for me because it was too too big. .

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.

Super comfortable and soft fabric. Cups are lined buy not molded so the cups are soft. The fabric is so so very soft. The detail at the bottom of the cup make it pretty, but is placed so it doesn't show under clothing. This is easily an everyday bra. I probably could've done with a band size down and cup size up. The band is very stretchy and I need to wear it on the 2nd-3rd hook after only a few months wear.

It is a very soft and comfortable every day bra, the color is a very pretty fuchsia. The straps are padded wich is great for comfort. As with other bras I own, this one I have to fasten it on the tightest set of hooks because the band runs on the bigger side of 32 and on top of that it is very stretchy, because of that, it is very comfortable to work all day in it ( I do my house cleaning every day) not the support I like, i have tried other natori bras and all of the ones I have tried felt as stretchy as ... this one does, so I don't know if it is a thing with the brand. This is the first natori bra I have, and bought it because it was on clearance (60% off) , I really like this bra for an every day bra, but wouldn't use it for special ocations.

PD. After wearing this bra all day yesterday, I have to do some justice, because to tell you the truth this bra is not only comfortable, but it stayed in place all day long, I thought because it is more stretchy that most of my bras it would not stay in place and I imagined having to pull and accommodate my boobs all day long while doing my house cleaning, but i was pleasantly surprised because that did not happend, I have fibromyalgia and yesterday was not a good day, and I almost forgot I had a bra on!!! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> sooo happy with this bra, I bought it only because it was on sale, now iam really glad I did, and now I will buy it at full price!! It is a shame they don't make them in a 30 band. I have a b tempted by wacoal bra that is also very stretchy in the band but that one is uncomfortable because the elastic digs in the skin, and the straps do too, so I thought this one would do the same, but NO it didn't!! I am so happy, really a great bra!!

Good fit. Doesn't tack however and cup is a little loose. Band seems to stretch out easily

Updated on Jun 04, 2016 Flag this

This bra is so flattering! It lies flat against my skin, and is the first bra I've had that won't show up under thin t-shirts. It does run tight, but the salesperson told me that it should stretch out a little bit after a few wears. Otherwise, the bra is perfect!

I have FOB, shallow, wide rooted breasts.
In, the store, I thought this bra would be my new favorite. But after wearing it for a couple hours, I notices a quadboob bulging over the top of the cup. I have NEVER had in issue with quadboob, as, with shallow breast, I usual have uses filling the cup at the top. The band was a bit loose and its a shame this bra doesn't come in anything lower than a 32. But despite the looseness (and comfort) It did not ride up. Also, the wires at the sides are not wide enough and sit on breast tissue under the arms. Aesthetically, I think this bra is one of the prettiest I've worn. I love the sweetheart swoop line of the cup. The straps are a black velvet. I may try this bra in a 32DDD to see if the extra cup size helps with the quadraboob and narrowness issues.

This seems like it would be a great bra is you don't have too much 'migrated breast' in your armpits. As it is, it squeezes the armpit/sides up and out of the band, so I look like I'm popping out of the sides.

I was told to size up in this bra, and I don't think that's accurate. This "US 32G" as opposed to my usual "US 32DDD" is definitely too big. I have extra space at the top, extra space at the bottom, and extra space on the outside of the cups. It's cutting in a little at the center, but the amount of breast it's not enclosing would not come close to filling the empty space if I somehow could get it over there. Doesn't fit and I don't think my usual size would fit either.

I have 3 of these bras and find them to be comfortable for everyday wear. The nude doesn't show under a thin t shirt. I also like that there aren't ribbons/flowers at the gore, just the little gold coin thingy you can cut off if you want. 32DDD used to fit but is too small now. When it fit, worked well for FOB (no gaping at the top). The wires could be a little longer and hold in sideboob but not very bad as is.

I have teardrop shaped breasts, shallow on top and full on bottom. My left is decently larger than my right, and a slightly different shape, so I sometimes have issues where the left cup of a bra will bulge/quad and the right will gape. They are also wideset, fitting three fingers comfortably in between.

I love this bra. I actually tried it on and didn't buy it, tried to find something cheaper and more t-shirty and ended up coming back several months later because nothing else fit as well on me as this one. I also haven't had problems with the lace showing through shirts which is very nice ... and not what I was expecting. It definitely comes in handy to wear with things where cute patterns would end up showing through (I have the cafe colour, which works well as a nude for me).

I noticed other people mentioned the band stretching... I've had it over a year and haven't noticed much stretch myself, maybe a little bit, but it still feels tight enough and I still use it on the furthest hooks. I like the fabric. The band lace is stretchy and soft, but it still feels pretty supportive to me.

My favourite thing about this bra is the shape it gives. I think it looks very lovely and natural. It has good nipple coverage without making my breasts look larger like some bras do (making my boobs look huge is a total dealbreaker for me). I noticed other people mentioning that this bra gives great cleavage... well for me it gives absolutely no cleavage! That's probably just my bodyshape though, I have never had a bra that fits well give me cleavage (which is fine by me). I still love how this bra looks under clothes. If I try to scoop my breasts up further into the cup, my left breast does end up falling out some, but with a little tugging afterward I can adjust it to lie flush and it tends to stay pretty well put all day.

The underwire comes up nicely along the outside of my breast, but on the inside they're definitely too close together. The gore tacks perfectly, but theres a little gap between the front part of the underwire and the surface of my breast. This seems to be a problem with all my current bras, except the Natori Feathers Racerback. If you like this bra but find the cups are too close together in the front, that one is worth a try, though it doesn't give as natural a shape as this one, imo.

I have teardrop shaped breasts, shallow on top and full on bottom. My left is decently larger than my right, and a slightly different shape, so I sometimes have issues where the left cup of a bra will bulge/quad and the right will gape. They are also wideset, fitting three fingers comfortably in between.

Natori seems to be the brand of all the favourite bras I currently own, though stores near me don't have much selection in my size and I haven't yet tried ordering online (I'm pretty much a beginner at bra fitting and learning about breast shapes). This one is my newest bra and I think it ... fits me the best so far out of all the ones I own. I got it because I was very happy with my Natori Feathers Plunge, didn't have a black bra, and didn't have a racerback bra.

This bra has a wide set gore (well, its really just a front clasp) at ~3cm, which works really well for me as I'm now discovering the underwires of all my other bras are too close together in the center which tends to pull the gore very taut (sometimes even away from my chest so it doesn't quite tack). This bra doesn't have that problem at all for me, which is great! If you have closer set breasts this bra likely won't work for you.

The outside of the cups is probably pushing it at being too wide/tall for me, but I still think this bra looks and feels very good. The tops of the cups lie flat and flush against both of my breasts, though the right gapes a little if I move my arm forward or shrug (pretty typical for me since that side is smaller).

This band feels firmer than my other 32DDD Natori (the plunge I mentioned before), but it is a lot newer so its possible the other one stretched out some. However the racerback does have a layer of mesh under the lace which the plunge doesn't have, so that may be contributing as well. If I am feeling bloated or put on a few pounds I don't go for this bra for that reason, and my skin is pretty sensitive so it sometimes turns red around my ribs when I use this bra, but in general I consider it a plus because it feels very supportive. Looser/stretchier bands tend to leave my back feeling achey after awhile. The fabric is comfortable and doesn't cause itching for me at all.

I wish the straps were a little wider set as I think my breast shape looks better if I hold the straps apart a bit, but since this is a racerback its to be expected that they fall closer together and under clothes this bra still looks really good. The lace for the most part isn't visible under clothes, but can sometimes show slightly through slinky thin fabric (see picture)

Overall I'm happy with how this bra works for me.

This bra is gorgeous, honestly. The lace everywhere is very pretty, and the rest of the bra is quite soft and lovely. The gore is short, the straps are a bit thin, and my nipples are just on the edge of the molded part but the lace covers everything just fine. I found the band to be rather stretchy and personally would like to go down a sister size, but Natori doesn't make above DDD in 30. I may sew the band to be a bit shorter, but it's definitely tolerable and I still say it fits. Hurrah!

EDIT: Upon further reflection about my shape, low plunges like this are probably never going to work because I'm too center heavy. This one's quite pretty, and after I sewed the band a bit to not be as stretchy it's an acceptable fit, but I am falling out of the center a bit. To anyone else center-heavy, this is probably not a good choice.
