This is a very pretty bra. Unfortunately, my breasts don’t fill the cup from either the top or bottom, even after doing the swoop and scoop. It could be due to the size (which I’m waiting on the smaller cup size to come to compare) or a shape mismatch.
I mostly got this bra just to qualify for free shipping since it was on sale and I figured I would use it more as lingerie than a daily bra. When I first tried it on I thought it was a fairly decent fit. However one full day wearing it and I discovered the wires aren't a good match for me, since they stab me in the armpit. The fabric is also rather itchy. I feel like the band could be a bit loose, not to say it runs big, but I'm really torn between 30/32 bands one tends to be tight the other loose. The bra is pretty, but it doesn't give me a very rounded shape, not a bad shape just not what I'm used to. I also think the cups are a bit too tall for me, the cups fit if I have the straps quite tight, but if I loosen them much I get some wrinkling at the top of the cup near the strap.
This isn't a style of bra I would typically wear, but I was at Kohls and decided to see what they had in 32DD. I was pleasantly surprised to find this and a 32DDD on the clearance rack, that were returned from online orders. I went ahead and tried on both. This bra fit surprisingly well, although I didn't buy it since I didn't care for the look of it under a shirt. The band was a bit on the snug side, but I think it would have been alright after a few wears. I do feel like the cup fit quite well ...other than the fabric being a bit wrinkly, and I don't think that was a fit issue so much as just the thin delicate fabric at top, although it did seem to be wrinkly on just one side. I also typically have issues with IMF and the underwire sitting too low, it seemed to be good on this bra. Overall I liked the fit of this bra, but it is not a style I would wear especially since it is a bit visible under a shirt. I was mostly trying it on in hopes it would give me an idea of Paramour's fit so I could order something in a different style online and at least have a good starting point for size. If you are looking at Paramour at least in this style I would possibly recommend a larger band size if you don't want it to be really snug.
I didn't have a measuring tape with me so I could measure the bra, but I would appreciate opinions on the fit. lcl0706wendybien pics are here http://bra.pe/ME67/ and all of me unless some get added, but it's the white lace with tags on it. Read more 207 more words
This looks really much better than the VS. You can see a difference in where the underwires are sitting underneath your boob, right in your IMF. The wire width looks good on the sides. The volume of the cup looks good. The wrinkling lace is probably just a slight shape mismatch - this bra looks to allow for slightly more upper fullness than you have.
Thanks for your help, hopefully their underwire in their other styles is cut similarly I might try to order one of these online. Also going to try Norstrom as someone else recommended, hopefully they have at least a few options in 30/32 so I can get more familiar with the band fits of other brands.
Very pretty bra. Love the detail on it. Hope you get the fit you’re looking for with the new size.
