    The color and design of this bra is very beautiful, however I am still experimenting with proper fitting and this cup size was much too small for me.

    It's beautiful and well made. Get a bigger size. It's too far off my size to go any further than that

    This bra has got to be the most ill fitting one I've bought so far. It serves me right buying it online without trying it in or doing much research on the style and cut. As you can see from the picture my breasts are just sitting inside the cup without any uplift or support from their natural laying position. The top of the cup gapes and wrinkles. My shape is more full on the bottom but I usually don't have this much room in the top. I think the cup size is too big for me and the underwire are too wide and shallow in the ... front to properly enclose my boobs. They just kind of sit there in the cups as a result.

    I have noticed that shallow 3-part cup bras in other brands don't do much for me either. I think I do better with vertical seams and narrower underwires. That said the bra has some very elegant embroidery and may work for fuller on top breasts. Just didn't work for me. On to the next one!

    • The Loretta gave me super sad boobs, too — one of the saddest a technically fitting bra has ever given me.

      I have an even shape, and the tops of the cup flattened out the tops of my breasts (but without quadboobing) and just pushed everything sadly and pointily to the bottom of the cups. Looked even worse under clothes.

      Anyone out there like the Loretta? I haven't seen it get much love.

    • Yes! It did literally the opposite of a bras job. It just flattened them out and pushed them to bottom of the bra.

    • I was so disappointed, because mine was in cobalt blue, my favorite color, but there was just no way it was going to work for me in any size.

    This is the closest I've come to a comfortable band, in that it is easy to move and breathe, but the gore does lay right. It presses into my chest, causing some flesh to fold over the top of the gore. The cups are laughably not the correct size on top, but fills comfortably the bottom of the cup.

    This was the first bra I had that fit right! I love the purple and the flowers and the overall look of the bra. It fits great and is never uncomfortable.

    First, I love the look of this Bra! It is also very comfortable and it stays in place. The one bad thing is I feel like occasionally, my bigger breast is shaped weird because of the embroidery on the cup, but I still love it.

    One cup size smaller than I'd normally get, but the shape of the wires fits better. The "sling" on the inside cuts into my breasts on the side, creating an indent. This isn't obvious under clothing. Still, nice and soft. Works well on my even/FOT shape.

    Sadly, too small in the cups for me. A very pretty bra and a very amicable nude color, with mild stretch to the lace on top. Runs pretty true to size in band and cup.

  9. Envy Balconnet Bra (7285)

    30E

    Didn't fit

    I have the Envy in both Black and Nude (or Beige?).

    Compared to the Andorra (I often hear this one is a hybrid Andorra/Jasmine), this one definitely feels a bit more structured, due to the 3-part cup construction and the firmer fabric panels in the cup, but it is still very comfortable. I really like the support (and this type of 3 part construction with the side panel going into the strap as it brings my breasts in and up a bit more).

    I have had a bilateral mastectomy with implant reconstruction so filling out the ends of cups can be hard at times; I need shallower cups as ... I don't have a lot of projection, but I am quite even on both top and bottom. I have the slightest bit of space at the end of the Envy where the seam is and my breasts don't quite project out far enough, but it is not enough to bother me or affect the fit overall. The wires embrace around my implants perfectly, so I can overlook a bit of empty space (and just avoid form fitting shirts with this bra!) as that is my main goal with bras these days.

    While my breasts are pretty round to begin with, this bra does give me a more rounded and uplifted look than the Andorra does. It does appear to make my breasts look a little larger when wearing the bra alone, but this may be in part just due to the bra style and amount of fabric. They don't seem to uplift or round them out anymore than my Porcelaine Viva (which has effect of almost making me look a bit smaller when I am just in the bra).

    The band is very snug and less stretchy than my Porcelaine Viva or Andorra (I measure 29" snugly). Still, I like a rather firm band so this is a pro for me.

    Only one complaint is that the top of the gore dug a bit at first. I think this is in part as the band on this one is very snug as I normally don't have much issue with higher centre gores. I bent the top of the wires and no more issues.

  10. Andorra Full Cup Bra (5675)

    30E

    Fits

    I have had a bilateral mastectomy with silicone implant reconstruction, and tend to need shallower cups as I lack a lot of projection. Which may be why this bra seems to work so well for me; I notice many of the other comments are about how the shallow cups require sizing up in the cup size, but for me the cups seem perfect in my regular size and the stretch mesh along top conforms nicely to my shape. I am rather even on top and bottom (like a "D") but as I lack breast tissue and the implants are rather firm, I don't have the issues with the ... slings making odd shapes or making my breasts too pointy that I have seen in other reviews. I can see why very soft breast tissue or natural breasts might make the fit a bit more difficult though. My breasts kind of hold their shape on their own, so the main concern is getting a wire that fits right around the implant.

    I really like the side sling on the inside, it does push me a little more front and centered, and adds a bit more lateral support which feels better for me (and helps reduce risk of lateral migration along with the proper fitting wire).

    I have this bra in both Pearl and Black. I don't notice a huge difference in fit between them, but the lace on the Pearl feels softer. It's quite incredible really, and I readily wear that one to sleep as well. With both, I really forget I have them on during the day. I have no poking issues or anything.

    The wire encapsulates around my implants perfectly, key in my case, and the gore tacks nicely, the straps have some stretch and are fully adjustable.The band is snug (I measure 29" snugly) but it's perfect for the kind of fit I like in my bands.

    I'm not going to bother adding measurements because I've discovered this website looong after this bra has been purchased and it is basically waiting for me to trash it from so much use. As my first properly fitting bra it was a great one. Unfortunately this bra has been used and abused seeing as I was a broke college student when I first purchased it and didn't have money to have many bras in rotation. It started out tight on me but after a year it barely stays snug on the tightest hooks. The cups have permanently crinkled at the bottom from possibly being too small on me, but I had a lot of migrated tissue to deal with so it fit better back then.
    The wires never gave me trouble, and it was great for hiding under thin shirts but lower cut tops weren't much of an option.

    This is a beautiful bra. It gives me a slight pointy appearance, which I think is because it is very projected. It can be somewhat uncomfortable, but I do love how it looks.

    This bra is very pretty and feels well-made. There were many things I love about it: the band is quite snug and secure, the straps are comfortable, and the back is wide and doesn't produce back fat on me. I only wish it fit! Unfortunately, this is not the bra for my particular breast shape (FOB, wide rooted, slightly splayed). While the volume of the cup is perfect, I experience some gaping at the top of the cups which come up too high to really flatter my shape. The wires in the gore press uncomfortably against my sternum and cut into my inner breast tissue a bit. Also, the side wires; while wide enough to gather all tissue, come up too high into my underarm area. For someone with closer set breasts and perhaps a bit fuller on top this would do very well I think. To reiterate, this bra is great; just not for me.

  14. Andorra Full Cup Bra (5675)

    Bra fits me well. Gives me a very perky shape in profile. It is full coverage - I can't wear it under some shirts because the lace shows. This does have the benefit though of making it the bra that really keeps my boobs from moving.

    Comfortable bra, band fit perfect but cups dug into the top of my breasts. Would probably need to size up to F or G in this.

    I loved this bra! The band fit snug and the cups were just wide enough. It gave me lots of support while still looking pretty, cute design! It didn't provide the best coverage, but it was my go-to under loose fitting tops.

  17. Envy Balconnet Bra (7285)

    This bra fits almost exactly like my 30E - Panache » Jasmine (6951) , except the band feels slightly tighter. I'm not a fan of the lace below the bottom of the band either, but it doesn't curl up quite as much as the lace on the Andorra does.

    Over all it fits very well, the band is firm but stretchy and doesn't ride up. The straps are Very stretchy, I adjusted them to were I need them and I don't foresee having too many problems with them sliding off.

    The wires are just a bit wider than I need, they are wider and slightly less round than I would typically like but they don't poke or chafe. If I had realized that I might have gone with a DD instead.

    The cups fit pretty nicely, my only real concern was that I didn't realize how much looser than the rest of the cup the top section would be. [if that makes sense?] The bottom of the cup fits beautifully, and in all the pictures I've seen the top sat flush against the breast, but in mine it kind of flares outward? I think if I make a small dart in it up by the straps I can take in enough of the excess that it wont show under clothes though.
