This bra is EU Sizing that equals 36F in UK sizing according to the label. I usually wear 34G UK size. I thrifted this bra for a very low price almost new and it suprisingly fits me well. The cups are moulded and the material is very soft and luxurious. The quality is great. It gives me a uplifted round shape. The wires have the right width and the cups are tall enough. I don't have very heavy boobs anymore post reduction so I cannot say how supportive it is. Probably like medium support. I tried other Prima Donna bras in a store and my size in the ...unpadded ones is 75G but 80F in padded ones. The cups are very deep and I can't fill them in the larger size. The bra is comfortable enough to wear for a full day, gives a smooth shape even under the very thin tops and it just looks really good.
Update on my original review. I did not wear this bra in a few months and only got it out for summer to wear under light tops. It's not comfortable at all and the wires sat on my breast tissue. The cups are not wide enough for my boobs. The wires and moulding is super stiff and does not adjust to my shape therefore the breast tissue cannot be contained properly. Since the cups are very deep I thought it fits but it doesn't. The cup is too narrow and too deep. I will pass this on. Read more 146 more words
Thanks for the Prima Donna Divine review, alisa ! I love this brand. There aren't enough reviews of their bras, considering I want to buy more.
Congratulations on the reduction! I missed the news when you got it done. Hope it worked out as you planned.
learningaboutbras Sorry I must have missed this comment! I like how I can now try out a lot of new brands. I did not post about my reduction here. I don't know I kinda felt not comfortable posting it at the time. Years of body issues plus some incidents with creep messages here made me feel unsure about my account here and what I share on the internet. I'm very happy though with the result and it was the best decision.
OMG you got creep messages on Bratabase?! Eww. I hope you emailed JJ about them. He's good about running those people off.
How exciting you get to try a bunch of new-to-you brands!!! :-)
Gorgeous bra, it makes me feel like Ariel from the Little Mermaid for some reason. It is supportive, pretty, an unusual colour, and has the little details which are nice. It is comfortable and seems to be holding up well.
The cups fit beautifully, especially after adjustment (scooping the underwires up and under while learning forward). It's not a t-shirt bra because it does have light seaming, but it's O.K. with most fabrics. Good support and no padding or lining, which I like. Good lift--not a push-up. I really like the side panel, which helps the girls stay front and center. If it were just for the cup, I'd rate this very highly. I do think it's a bit overpriced, but the workmanship and construction are very nice.
The band, however, is another story. At ...least I guess that's what's causing the problem. Though maybe it's the underwire. At any rate, this bra begins to hurt my ribs after a while, especially the right side. I can only wear it for a few hours comfortably, and for about eight hours before I want to shoot myself. I don't know if this means I should have gone up a band size or if this just isn't for me. Sadly, it has not stretched out much, though that's good news for people not being squeezed by this.
