The Great Amazon Prime Wardrobe Try-On, Pt 2! My shape: FOB, narrow roots/shoulders, soft tissue, 32G (though I'm thinking maybe more 30G since a lot of these 32 bands are too stretchy for me!)
Fit: The wires are sort of bendy and not as sturdy, but they seem narrow, ala Ewa Michalak bras. Maybe not as U-shaped, but I don't have a problem with them poking my armpits, and they enclose my breast tissue on the sides. There is an elastic band along the top lace part of the cup, which is fine on my smaller breast, but I get slight quadding/spillage on my larger one. There are only two ...hooks for the band, and it feels a lot stretchier than what I am used to. The straps are not too wide for my narrow shoulders, which is a nice change of pace for me! I get a splayed, sort of pushed out to the sides shape, which is not my cup of tea. The fabric is super soft, so it would be nice for anyone who has sensitive skin. It feels like stretchy microfiber, all except the top lace parts.
Appearance: This is a darker charcoal colored bra, so it would be a good alternative to a black bra. The bottom of the cups has two layers of super soft fabric, the lining being a mesh, the outside a striped soft, stretchy material. The inside of the cups has this vertical folded section along the sides of each cup; I've never seen that before in a bra. The clasp is three sets of two hooks; I had mine on the tightest clasp right away, which leads me to believe this will stretch out even farther once it gets worn in more.
Verdict: Though comfortable, this doesn't give me the shape I am looking for. I like the soft fabric, the narrower wires and straps, but I think, if I were to try this, I would go a band size down. I've never heard of this brand of bra before, but it was one that was available for Prime Wardrobe, and I am glad I checked it out! Read more 246 more words
East-west look, which causes the illusion that the cups are too small. (There is enough space in the cups for my tissue, but the cups pull me to the side and the elastic band then cuts into my breasts.) No real lift. And the band is ridiculous -- as you can tell from the measurements, it's MUCH more of a 34 than a 32. Even on the tightest hook, there was no support to this bra at all; the straps immediately dug in hard, and when I loosened them the illusion of support evaporated.
It's pretty, I'll say that for it, but boy do I ever expect more for USD$99. I have gotten much better bras for $30.
The Great Amazon Prime Wardrobe Try-On, Part 3 My shape: full on bottom, soft tissue, narrow shoulders/roots. Appearance: I find this bra to be sorta... blah. It's alright for an unlined black bra, but the lace design on top of the cups isn't really eye-catching. It's sort of a pinwheel looking floral effect, with embroidery that matches it that goes halfway up along the strap. The gore has a little bow with a charm? piece of shiny hammered metal? thing hanging from it; it feels cheap. Fit: All of that being said, the cups actually fit me pretty well, which is really surprising, since it's two cups smaller than my regular size. I'm not sure how this can fit me, unless this brand has cups that run at least two sizes larger. The band is also really stretchy, so keep that in mind if you are looking to purchase this particular bra.
The cup on this one was way too big for me, as well as the band. I ended up selling it to a friend who seems very happy with it. Appart from that it was well made and comfortable, but it did have the too wide straps which seems to be a common thing with Simone Perele bras.
The fabrics sound so lovely! Beautiful, but I definitely understand what you mean about being pushed out.
