This is a sexy bra I bought it in nude and orange red in 34DDD, after getting measured after wearing cheap 36Ds for years. I think I should now be in 32s, but I'm still wearing these on the tightest hook. I still have a bit of underarm fat, and the wire is low enough on these that I am not poked.
The main downside is the top of the cup. The cup ends into some lace, and the lace is high enough that it pokes out of some shirts and dresses. And I wish they made 32 bands over a DDD/E.
This is one of my newer bras, fitted at Nordstrom. I usually wear lined/molded cups to protect the public's view from my nipples. The cups do not look large in the bra, but encompass my breats fine. I feel like I sit a little wider and lower in this bras than others. This is one of my first 32s, so I'm curently wearing it on the wider hook. I have noticed the texture of the lace and my nipples in some shirts.
This is a super soft bra. I liked the idea of the thicker straps on the shoulder as a "workhorse" bra.
When I was wearing a 36D and went to get fitted, the fitter convinced me this was perfect. (It was better than what I was wearing). I also bought a cuter/sexier bra. I ended up wearing the Natori Feathers 34DDD more, and when I put this on at home I decided it wasn't right for me. Then I forgot to return it within the period. So I'd like to sell this, new with tags.
I should really be a 32 G, so this just doesn't fit me. The gore doesn't tack, too much room in the cups in parts (I guess because its not sitting against my chest at the bottom?)
This bra's cups are made from memory foam, so it's super soft and comfortable. This bra is a good basic bra for anyone. This bra was a no go for me because molded cups and I never get along.
Pros: Well made; this bra has been frequently worn over the past 2 years at a job that required a lot of moving around for 8-10 hours a day. This bra kept me in place and was comfortable to wear over long periods of time. The appearance under clothing was nice and rounded - lifted, but not overly projected - and the material was soft enough to maintain a little bounce without discomfort. Also, thin straps meant I could wear it under tanktops without embarrassment.
Cons: The cups are made of a pretty thick material, so it's not the most breathable. The bra is somewhat plain in appearance, if that's a concern for you. Also, the band is pretty stretchy, so definitely take note of the stretched length of the band if you are considering buying it and not sure about size.
Although this bra no longer fits me, it's something I would consider buying again if it came in smaller band sizes.
This bra is really comfortable when first put on, and it looks great under t-shirts, but the band is too big for me. While some bras still provide some support with slight size issues, the thick material of this bra means that the entire thing, straps and all, shifts with my every movement. The straps are thick (1'' or 3 cm at the widest point) and slightly padded, which is cozy under a t-shirt, but it's definitely not a bra you can wear with all shirts.
So far I like this bra. It offers great support & is slightly padded so is does not add any bulk but is good for modesty. It does poke a little in the center where the wires come up. I have lost about 90 lbs. & have a great deal of loose skin under my arms & this bra is still comfortable--no poking if I swoop & scoop. That said, I don't believe this bra runs true to size. I generally wear a 34G US & this bra is a 32G, so the band definitely runs big (I'm comfortable on the center hook) & the cups must run small otherwise I'd need a 32H. For reference, I have breasts that are full in the lower portion & deflated in the upper region.
The pattern on the wings is nice although the stitch seems not so durable. Smooth shape. Can be wear under white T-shirts. ---after a month--- loose on both band and traps...have to tight to the end
I can always count on Natori for excellent quality, but the fit of this bra isn't working for me. Breast tissue bulges out the top sides near the armpit, and it squishes my breasts together in the middle.
This was the first new bra I got after I measured myself, and it's just okay. The more bras I try the more I realize the fit isn't great, and it's not aging well for me fit-wise, but it's good enough to wear -- I have a few shirts (including, bizarrely, one medium-weight sweater that's so clingy you can tell what the pattern of the lace is on my other bras) that just cannot cope with a seamed cup, and this is my best-fitting "tshirt bra" style bra right now.
This bra has a shallow cup, and the cup comes up high on the chest. My breasts are shallow-but-not-that-shallow ...and have more projection on the bottom than on the top, so the shape doesn't really work -- the cups tend to wrinkle at the bottom, and unless I have my back perfectly straight and my arms at my sides the top of the cup gaps too. Because of the cut of the bra, this isn't obvious under clothing.
Also, the band is EXTREMELY stretchy. After 2 weeks I was already wearing it on the tightest hook so it didn't feel like my boobs were about to fall out the bottom of the cups if I lifted my arms. A 36 band would definitely be a better fit for me in this one.
Despite those issues it's a comfortable bra. The wires don't poke, the fabric is super smooth and stretchy, the band doesn't roll up (I'm flabby, it's an issue).
My biggest gripe is actually that the cups come up so high on the chest that I can't wear anything other than a crew neck with it, despite the gore being quite low. The gore of the bra isn't visible in a v-neck, but the upper inside edge of the cup is.
This was a decent first-new-bra, but it's probably dropping out of circulation as soon as I find a better-fitting tshirt-bra-type bra to wear under those problem shirts. Read more 216 more words
I like this bra because it is comfortable. The cup material is soft and the straps don't dig in. This model's wires actually go up into my armpits for once. I have wide set breasts so underwires digging into the sides of my breast tissue is always going to be an issue, it feels like. If you have shallow but wide breasts like mine, this bra won't really give you miles of cleavage or anything. It lifts and separates, but doesn't push the breasts together. Usually I prefer half-cups for that very reason, and because I have bottom-heavy breasts. I would wear it under a dark t-shirt or under ...work clothing. The smooth cups give you a clean profile under your clothes. The only drawback I can see with this bra is really a sizing issue, in that I just got this bra and I already have to use the first closure. This is because my ribcage measures at 31" so it's a crap shoot whether a 30 band or a 32 band is going to work for me. With this model I might be better off with a 30 band (so a 30GG) in the long run. Unfortunately, I don't know if Natori carries that size https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
[edit]: While this bra is very comfortable I think the band is too loose on me now - or soon will be, or my underbust is shrinking - I remeasured and pulled tight it is now 30.5" as opposed to 31" and I know I pulled tight last time I measured. Well, that's a shame https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Read more 165 more words
This was my first "properly" fitting bra... coming from a 34B to a 30DDD, the band was incredibly tight when I tried it on. But, I was able to fasten it and though much more snug than I had been used to, it was not too binding. The fit and shaping were fabulous.
One month later, the snugness of the band is hardly noticeable, unless I put on a larger band size which now feels too big - because it is! I am considering trying a 28 band, unfortunately this doesn't come in that size.
After learning a bit more about how a bra should fit, I don't believe this is the right size for me. I think the cups are too small and the band too big. It's still incredibly comfortable!
Can I just say I feel like my rack looks fantastic in this bra? First off, it manages to push my breasts together WITHOUT too much of the dreaded quadboob effect. Then, the underwires go far up enough into my armpits that it keeps almost everything in check there. This is not an easy feat to accomplish when you have spread apart breasts like mine. Things feel pretty damn comfortable, too. Which is weird, because I noticed when I took it off, there were red marks (which I'm told is a normal thing with a snug supportive bra). Maybe I'll be a glutton for punishment (just kidding!) and ...try sleeping in this bra for the ultimate comfort test. One thing, the band seems kind of stretchy for a 32 band.
[Edited to add]: After wearing it a little longer... either my boobs have shifted REALLY recently or I was so excited to have a bra that was better fitting than my old bras that I deluded myself into thinking this bra fit for sure. Well. I went to take pictures, and saw some fit issues I didn't see previously: the quadboob was more pronounced than what I remember when I first got this bra, same with some armpit spillage. Also! the top of the center gore lifts up just slightly. Looks like I either need to go down a band in size or up a cup size or both. Oh well https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I'll still wear this bra until I get something better. Read more 148 more words
I wish this bra fit me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> well actually before I knew I was putting on bras wrong --not using the scoop and swoop method-- I thought it did fit me! Then I scooped and swooped and sure enough there was the quadboob in full effect, while there still being spillage over the sides of the bra. Oops. The material of this bra is really soft and comfortable. A little too comfortable, in that I have to use the tightest closure on the band pretty much, for a snug fit. But I like the material. I would definitely like to try this same model in a 32DDD or 32G or something, if they make it.
It's a shame that this is too big because it seems like it would be super comfortable if it did. The cups are lightly padded and stretchy. They mold themselves to your breasts nicely. The wire runs very wide, but that may be due to the too large band. Band is very stretchy & it would be advisable to size down 1 for a snug fit. The wires also run very high on the sides, so if you have issues with wires poking your pits you may want to pass this one by. It's a very nice looking bra and the overall quality seems excellent.
It's pretty comfortable! But it's not at all supportive. It feels like wearing a bikini top rather than a bra. The band doesn't have much strength in it; the underwires are resting more on my breasts than on my chest, especially on the sides (probably also because the cups are just barely on the shallow side for me, but I like that better than cups that wrinkle!). Instead of a center gore there's just a cord loosely holding the cups together, which leaves my breasts really far away from each other. Actually, the whole apparatus doesn't do much more than flatten my breasts down slightly.
It's comfortable. It's not itchy, doesn't pinch or poke, and I can jump around like an idiot without my boobs falling out. After a full day of wearing it, I'm not in a rush to get it off. Under t-shirts, it's invisible, so it's a great every day bra. It's not very pretty, but it does it's job.
All soft cup bras in my size seem to flatten my boobs and make them look triangular and this one does just that https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> plus they offer no support against bounce
