    34J

    Used to fit

    Ariza 34J (Mulberry Bravissimo Exclusive at least I guess it's that one, it looks different than in the pictures. It did also look different on Ebay and judging from the picture I though I'd get the pink / ivory one)

    This bra fits differently compared to newer styles of Ariza (Violet Mix).
    The wires are higher on older styles, I knew about this. But there are other differences.

    I just had a weird feeling when putting the bra on. It definately fits better than the 32J (size-wise) but I have to close it already on second hooks and something about the fit is off.

    Gore measurement comparison:
    Violet Mix 32J: 1.7cm
    Mulberry 34J : 2.3cm

    Straps width:
    Violet Mix 32J: 1.7cm
    Mulberry 34J: 2.0 cm

    The straps of the Mulberry are wider and lightly padded, which is a plus.

    Now I try to make it work by taking in the gore.

    32H

    Hasn't set fit

    this bra has a very tight band and thats what i love about it. at the moment this is the bra i feel most secure in. it has three set of hooks, it covers all my breast tissue perfectly and the amazing snug band. i dont feel uncomfortable after wearing this bra for hours, i actually just bought a second one because i love it so much!

    actually thinking about it, there is one thing thats bothering me, the bit of the band on the bottom of the cup kinda turns itself inside (does that make sense?) and really hurts. its easy to undo but sometimes a bit ... annoying. although that does not happen all the time.

    to be honest its not the prettiest of my bras but i still really really love this bra!

    20.02.2013
    i have now changed my mind, this bra is unbelievably uncomfortable. every time i wear it im in pain because of the band under the cups turning itself inside. its so bad i just want to rip this bra off after wearing it for a few minutes.

    Didn't fit

    I have the Ariza in the midnight/fuschia color as well as the matching thong. Very pretty bra, coloring is similar to Cleo Lucy in navy/pink. The band is nice and snug, probably closer to a 28 which is good for me. Very narrow straps. The cups are true to size. There are two cons for me: the gore is too high and rubs on my sternum, and I am not fond of the shape it gives me. I've found I'm okay wearing it under loose fitting tops (scrubs) but I don't think I would wear it under anything snug.

    Fits

    Band runs tight, but stretches out quickly - like I put it on with an extender and 10 minutes later I could fasten it. Cup is perfectly sized. Band adjusts 1/2 way, but fine for me. Beautiful colors. Dark teal background with dark and light pink floral embroidery with matching silk ribbon bow at center gore. Comfortable so far - no poking anywhere. Sides are high & I get no side spill.

    Didn't fit

    High gore - be careful if you have a short torso, luckily I don't.

    I am full on top - a 30H may have been a better choice. Band is fine - 2 fingers of separation under it, just a little too much boob for a 30GG.

    Used to fit

    My new favorite bra! This bra is true to size. The bra gives a nice breast shape. The band is super stretchy which is why it's so comfortable on me. The tip of the wire on the gore pokes me but I think it's because I have a lack of cushion in that area.

    Theres a very large metal circle attaching the strap that sits on my left shoulder (clearly my most droopy side) this is painful after a few hours. I constant skoosk it back up to my root as never stays in place
    Also looks like a granny bra.

    30G

    Didn't fit

    This bra doesn't work on me for a number of reasons, the main one being that it's too wide, so my boobs end up rubbing on my arms when I reach forward, etc. I'm thinking this is caused from the way the seems are designed on the cup. (a horizontal seem runs along the side)

    The wires are too wide on me, and while they don't poke, they simply go too far back under my arms. The cups are a bit more full coverage than I'm used to (or want), and they sit too high, close to my armpits. The straps are thinner and stretchier than I like, I really prefer non-stretch straps.

    The band is pretty tight, and while I can fasten it, if I were to wear it I would definitely use an extender.

    Seems like a good bra if it's compatible with your body and tastes, but it just doesn't work for me.

    Labeled by Panache as a balconette, but it seems pretty full coverage on everyone but me. On me, the tight upper section causes massive quadboob. Sizing up to fix this would likely mean too wide wires. Wire width is good in this size (I need narrow wires).

    I'm a 32 or a 34 depending on the fit of the band. I found this 34 firm, but not too tight.

    This is a gorgeous bra. I love the bright, contrasting multi-color stitching. However, I nearly dislocated a finger trying to hook the band. That thing is TIGHT! The cups are a pretty good fit, maybe a tiny bit big on my smaller side. But it's not noticeable, except the lace curved away from my body at the top of the cup. The shape and lift are great. This is definitely a bra engineered to support and flatter a full bust.
