I wear Soma bras in 32C, occasionally 32D. Their sizing is extremely inconsistent, which is frustrating. I ordered 2 bras from an online sale because each bra was $10.00. Stunning Support Posture bra is a disappointment. I was excited about the front-close feature, because many front-close bras provide extra side-support. This one, however, runs very big in comparison to other Soma bras. The band is too long, the cups are too tall and too wide, and the underwires seem much too long for a 32C bra. As a result of all this, this bra provides not only 0 posture support, but 0 boob support. It covers my breasts, and that's about it. I'll likely try to alter it to see what I can come up with.
I got this bra for $10.00, so I have to be kind in my review. This really is a great bra -soft, comfortable, and durable. Had I never discovered the magic of the true bra fit, I would have thought this to be one of the best-fitting bras I've ever had. However, compared to, say, my 30DD Panache Porcelains, this fit is average. I have to use the tightest hooks on the straps, but the band does stay in place, for now. This is something I can't say for many other brands with 32 bands. Soma 32 bands, for the most ...part, are wearable for very petite builds. The cups on this bra are foam, and they are slightly padded, but they don't have bump pads (thank goodness). This claims to be a push-up bra, and it works as one, but it is also a push-in bra. Bras with tall sides are just what I need, because, after 3 babies, my boobs decided to migrate to my armpits. The thing about this bra is that the shape of the cups don't give me a nice, rounded smoothness. They have a very typical "American" bra shape - triangles with tall sides that cut straight across breast tissue. Instead of lifting the whole breast (a la Porcelain and Maddie), the cups cut into my breasts and "quad". With the 32 band, this is wearable (remember I paid $10.00 for this bra), and my breasts are shallow. I can't imagine that this would work for someone FOT, if it cuts into shallow tissue. This is a good bra for both "plunge" and "push-up" functions, and I really, really like that the cups don't have awkward bumps or heavy padding. Read more 191 more words
This is the first properly fit bra I've worn. The so-called "professional bra fitters" put me in a 34 B, but with the Sensous Sides I wear a 32 C. It is my current favorite, but I'm looking for something better. I got this bra because of the side support, a lot of my breast tissue has migrated to my underarms and possibly my back. Besides the prices ($50 retail) I don't have any complaint. However I'm planning to try something with a taller/higher wing for additional side support.
Normally I wear a 32C from Victoria's Secret, and I've found their bras tend to run a little small. I am torn about this bra, because on one hand I love how it looks on me, but on the other hand it does feel a little tight around the band and is a smaller size than I have been fitted for on multiple occasions. It provides great support, is very comfortable in terms of the cup, and other than the tightness of the bands/straps is the best-fitting bra I own.
