The band runs loose, which is a shame, since I own the smallest size there is. I have to fasten it on the tightest hooks already or it rides up after a while... Otherwise it's great, the cups are a perfect fit and I love the style and colour which disappears under tight and white clothing and it's really comfortable, too. It's just not really a good choice for small ribcages.... Update: I only recently realized, I was actually sent the wrong size to start with (one band size up), which is why I shortened the band. Really stupid... I also noticed that I actually seem to have the wrong shape for this bra, as I can't quite fill the bottom of the cups, where it creases, also I have slight spilling at the gore.
This is a very pretty padded bra with polka dot mesh over the padding. It has a red bow in the middle and that bra charm attach thing (which I don't need or use, so no idea about that). The red is very pure, so doesn't tend into the purple range. It's not neon red though, so probably widely wearable. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It has wide enough wires for me, so I would say it's okay for broad roots. It feels and looks a bit sturdy due to the thick straps and high gore & wings. However, the design is cute enough to balance that ...out. I'm not sure about the center gore, it digs in a bit and the wires also dig in a bit into my rips, even though the band seems to ride up a bit (but that could be due to cut, I'm not sure yet). I have read some reviews that said to order up in this bra, but I don't think that would work for me. When I don't stand 100% straight, the cups already move a little bit away from my boobs.

Tight and firm. I wear it with an extender (Underbust measurement very tight 68cm), you can purchase the matching extender in the SugarShape shop. It's very comfortable with the extender. I had to choose the 65 band because 70/82,5 isn't available. But I don't care, the extender doesn't bother me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Some pictures show that the band on the black Dolce Vita produces some weird drapes, but it doesn't do so on me. I don't know whether it's the style (laceprint) or whether it's me though https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
The band is in the small sizes too very broad and ...reaches up very high under your arms. It's not uncomfortable but I wanted to note it. But it's perfect to not cut in your back! So great!
Fabric: Dream come true!
The cups are cotton lined, so they are really comfortable on your skin. The outer fabric is soft and smooth, the lace is a really great print. It does look even nicer in real life. You can't see the lace through a shirt.
Straps:
Are rather wide, 20mm, even in the smaller sizes. It looked very strange to me at first, but they are really comfortable, I was very surprised! And once worn they don't look enormous anymore, even on a small bra. I hope there will be smaller straps on future styles (and the SugarShape Sisters normally listen to their customers https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> ) though, so you can wear the bra with a top with thin straps. This is definitely not a summer bra for me, because I always wear tops with thinner straps https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
Shape:
Somehow different than most british bras I tried. If it's slightly too big the shape is a tiny bit pointy. You could compare it to the shape in Konrdas bras, but with a much better support and moooore push up. But really nice I think. wa-wa-woom! If you insert the pads than it's really wa-wa-woom deluxe - it would be too much for me for a daily wear bra. Maybe for special occasions.
Support:
Very nice support due to the broad band. The cups are perfect for me and I could even wear it without straps (no, they are not removable)
Bra Charm:
I chose the cute key and I like it! It's not very prominent on the laceprint, but looks great on the black bra. Since I need a very small bra size the size of the charm is really sufficient, I guess it could look a bit tiny in bigger sizes.
Conclusion:
The surprise of this year so far in my sizing range! Honestly I didn't think this bra would look this great on smaller breasts! Read more 342 more words
Very comfortable bra. After reduction surgery I looked for a low gore bra with short wires and padded options.. it's definitely a plunge bra but no pushup padding is there. It's simply the cut of the bra that does a brilliant shape with beautiful cleavage. Also it comes with stretch lace on top of the cups ro balance out slightly uneven breats.
This bra came with my VIB Box and I was really sure that it won't fit. So I was really surprised that it fits well even though I don't have lot volume at the top. The cups are high but wide and shallow, too.
This bra size is comparable to a 65D (EU) or 30D (UK) size. The wires are wide enough for me and my bigger boob fits very well, but unfortunately the smaller boob fits horrible. The top of the cuf is quite filled, but I don't have enough volume at the gore so that there is a big wrinkle wich thrusts through the shirt.
I am completely in love with this bra. It fits so nicely. I am a bit worried that it will stretch out a bit over time and the gore tends to dig into my sternum when I am bending over or moving a lot. But I will say it is one of the the first bras to really fit me well https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
My first strapless bra! I haven't really tested it as such yet, but it looks promising. It's a balconette style bra and it's quite comfortable. The band runs small, that's why I went for the 75 band and also up one cup size. The bra comes with two sets of straps, so you can wear it as usual or crossed at the back or as a neckholder bra. The bra has a silicone strip at the band and also at the top of the cups, to help keep it in place. The straps are set very wide apart though, they cut into my arms a bit.
This is a top with a built-in bra. What I love about it, is that it allows you to go strapless! The band is quite tight, it only just stretches enough for me to get in, so putting it on is a bit tricky. The cups fit well, I would like a bit more support, but it's fine. The wires a bit too wide for me, but nothing drastic. Because the band is so tight, it does leave marks after a while and I wouldn't want to wear it when I'd have to move a lot, so maybe next time I'll try to size up the band.
I've had this bra for quite a while, it was my first SugarShape bra. Unfortunately, I've "grown out" of it by now and hardly wear it anymore. Because of the plunge style I can get away with it sometimes... I still like it for it's design, but it's not the most comfortable one. The wires are very prominent and poke (reach up high under arms) and the band is really tight! The first wears bordered on painful. It stretched a bit since then but I can still use the outside hooks.
I really like this bikini top, it fits well though I think halter is not the best option for me, the weight is just a bit too much for my neck after a few hours. That being said, it gives good support nevertheless, the band is perfect for my liking. Plus I love the colour! =)
I love this bra, it's my favourite one so far! The band is quite tight, but I like it, because it just gives me the best support imaginable. I don't have to readjust in this one at all and it's basically invisible under clothes. The only con I have is the really wide straps!! They use wider ones in the bigger sizes, but I could very well do with narrower ones... I took off the two bows at the straps though, it was just a bit too much for me =)
This bra runs small, so I had to go up a band size and cup size, too. It's really comfy, a balconette style and I really like the shape it gives me, but since it is open on top, my boobs tend to fall out when I bend down or move a lot, but I don't really mind since they fall back into the cups easily https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> The gore come up high, which I personally like and which also adds to the support it gives, I think. Also, it's gorgeous!
This was a really comfy bra. I like the wide straps I felt secure and the shape would have been great if I had gotten the right size, which is probably 75/95 (currently 32FF). However, it is not a good bra for either those with high-set breasts because the height of the cup under your armpit is trouble and the straps, which are wide-set accelerate that issue. It is also not a good bra for those who have full-on-top boobs as it behaves much like a full cup.
So, if this fits like a 30H/HH, and 30H is your Deco size (if it were made), would the size 70/87.5 be right for me since I am 30F/FF and my Deco size is 30F?
97.5 = H 95 = GG 92.5 = G 90 = FF 87.5 = F
Theoretically?
It just seems so far off, since I measure 75cm underbust and 97cm bust...
I don't honestly understand how the measurement system works since it's so different. And my Deco size would have been near a 28HH/J at this time, I think. It's confusing and I'd personally contact sugarshape yourself to ask because I really can't. You can message them on facebook/twitter and they get back really quick.
I'm concerned that they would just tell me to get a 75/95 like their calculator gives me. Based on how this one fitted you, though, it'd be a bit big in the band and huge in the cups.
I don't think their band system is all that accurate, oddly enough as it's going by cm. I am able to wear their 75 band, though and I prefer 28s.
I know that my bust at the time of this was about 110cm, if that helps at all?
There is no straight translation between these sizes and "standard" sizes. A way to think about this is that the Shugarshape size table is diagonal with respect to standard tables. And if we were not so used to standard tables, Sugarshape's one would make more sense.
Best way to compare is by measurements ;)
You cannot go up bands and do the standard cup increasing/decreasing.
It is weird, because sister sizes in british sizing aren't made for the same size bust measurement. like how 30F is supposed to be for 30/37, and a 28FF is for 28/36. If Sugarshape worked the same way, I think 70/97.5 and 75/100 would be sister sizes? But I think that Jj is suggesting that 70/100 and 75/100 are Sugarshape's version of sister sizes? NEED MORE DATA!
I wish the lesser-known European brands would fill out Bratabase dimensions themselves, it would get them so much business. Gorteks, for example, has many bras that catch my eye, but only 18 bras are on Bratabase, of which a grand total of 2 models/3 sizes are in current production. Not enough to make me want to pay for shipping from Poland. Ewa Michalak is the only brand that has enough info in Bratabase to be useful, but after Strapgate I don't think I will ever buy from them.
Saphiro you are right, 70/100 and 75/100 would be sister sizes.
On a regular size chart there's a diagonal stripe with sister sizes. On a Sugarshape chart this stripe would be a vertical stripe, as if the chart was rotated counter clock wise.
So, if this fits like a 30H/HH, and 30H is your Deco size (if it were made), would the size 70/87.5 be right for me since I am 30F/FF and my Deco size is 30F?
97.5 = H
95 = GG
92.5 = G
90 = FF
87.5 = F
Theoretically?
It just seems so far off, since I measure 75cm underbust and 97cm bust...
