This bra is so cute, and I'm really bummed it didn't fit. The cups are a lot shallower than I thought they'd be. I'd probably need to size up at least two cup sizes in order for this bra to fit.

I really like how this fits, although it doesn't feel *quite* wide enough on my bigger side. I'm hoping I can stretch the wires just enough to make it more comfortable. I will be able to wear this regardless.

My breasts are slightly asymmetrical so one breast fits really nicely and one has a little gap at the top of the cup. The dusty rose and black are very pretty and I love the shape this gives. The only problem I have with this bra is that the straps dig in my arm pits, which is unfortunately really common for me. I can't seem to figure out a way to alter it so I guess I will live with it. I thought about using a clip to pull the straps together in the back but I think it would make the cups stick out.

This bra was not suited to me at all, actually it was a disaster with my FOB, slightly projected, and narrow shape. It's a shame because it's so gorgeous! Don't kid yourself though - if you're a similar shape to mine, it probably won't work out so well.

Pros

Looks great
Wide Straps and band
Creates nice cleavage

Cons

Quite shallow (especially towards the bottom)
Quite wide wires
Strap placement is very wide
Mesh on band makes my back look like a sausage, also has a tendency to stretch

*This bra was purchased after the sizing adjustment*

Can I tell you, I have been looking forward to reviewing this bra and knicker set for a verrrry long time. Actually after the first time I saw it, I knew this bra was for me. I loved it's shape, ...

This bra is pretty, but a terrible shape for me. The cups seem to run 1-2 sizes too small. The band is slightly snug, but I'm a 28 band so it's still too big for me. The cups are much too wide and too tall, digging into my armpits. There is some padding in the bra and it feels supportive, but it's not right for me.

This is a great bra, I just didn't get it in quite the right size. I think one cup size up would have been better. Just a hint of quad-boob.

Love this bra and do wear it even though my nipples are slightly showing ans I have quadraboob (slight case). The tops of my nipples show less when I first put the bra on, I need to most likely go up a cup size but it's just hard buying online constantly, so I've gotten lazy. I wear this bra under cardigans, nothing form fitting, for you can see where it cuts in

it's super comfy, and pretty heavy duty. the gores are a good height, and the straps are soft. I just got it yesterday, so I don't know how it stretches, but it seems like it will hold up well. I generally prefer (and fit better in) a 28 band, but this works well for me. I have a petite frame at 5'2, us size 0-2, so I thought this bra might be a little big overall for me, but I actually really like it and it's proportional.

Con is that the black stripes show through fabric, but it's not a huge deal for me as I generally wear tank tops under everything.

I was really shocked at the band size of this bra. It's labelled as a 30G, and I purchased it from another Bratabase user who says it fits more like a 28FF. The band is *STILL* crazy tight, and I can just baaarely stretch it enough to clasp on my 28.5" ribcage. It's extremely tight and I have trouble breathing. Other than that, the cups are quite shallow for my FOB-boobs so I get "Orange in a glass" syndrome, with wrinkling on the bottom. The wires also come up quite high and cut into my armpits.

The sternum lays nice and flat, and the ... cups do curve along the top of my breasts nicely, but there is the issue with a strange "S" curve when my shoulders are not positioned in perfect posture. Overall, I feel like the cup is a size too big, and the band is too small. Probably best for someone with an even narrower ribcage and shallow breasts. I do adore the look of this bra, and found the material quite nice. The potential is there! But unfortunately, it just did not work for my shape.

This bra runs extremely small.

I purchased this 30G from another bratabase member because she wrote that the bra ran small and was closer to 28G than the 30G on the label. Since I wear either a 28G or a 30FF, I figured I'd give it a whirl.

While the bra is sturdy and lovely to look at, I am getting severe quad-boob in it.

As for the band, it feels almost as tight as my Panache 28-bands (according to my measurements, the difference is about 3 cm stretched).

Overall, while I feel supported and sexy, the quad boob I'm getting is too severe to make this a keeper. I'd say this bra is better for a 28FF and probably not for someone FOT, as the seams on top of the cup are a firm and will probably cut into your breast.

I'm a little perplexed at how they managed to come up with this sizing.
