May be slightly stretched from being on shop floor and tried, push up padding may make me underestimate cup depth a little, open on top, some people size down.

Has been on shop floor for a while, may be slightly stretched out from being tried a lot. Push up padding makes measuring cup depth a little difficult, may make me underestimate depth a little as the point I measure sits lower on the body than it would in a normal bra.

Like other Change push up bras rather open along the top edge, some people may need to size down in cup.

TL;DR: A nice-looking bra that gives a very uplifted shape. But be warned: shallow cups. Quite a stretchy band which can be comfy for smaller sizes maybe? But for bigger cup sizes - gravity does more work faster than I'd like it to. The bra's color is good for wearing underneath light-colored clothing and the padding hides nipples if weather gets cool.

This is a definite confidence booster when I need to feel all perky and up (at least as long as the band is snug and holds everything in place).

Since my boobs are kinda pendulous even though I'm still young, this bra provides a nice lift and a ... pretty shape. The only downside to this bra's cups' shape is that it's quite unnatural to me and so, whenever the band stretches out, the front sags, the bra band in the back rides up a bit, and the breast tissue doesn't stay in the cups in the way it's intended to (sometimes the wires even kinda sit on top of my breast tissue which isn't satisfactory). I believe if it was unpadded, this problem wouldn't be as noticeable as I've observed that unpadded bras adjust better to my breast shape and don't necessarily slide down in the front whenever the band stretches out a little.

The cups are also pretty shallow. But I've heard that's the case with many molded and padded bras (and with Change bras as such), so I guess no surprise there.

The gore never sits on my sternum, but as long as the band hasn't stretched too much, it feels okay, to my mind.

Even if it's not a perfect fit, I like how it looks on me. After two years of wearing it has stretched out noticeably. I tried sewing the band in so that it's shorter but kinda overdid it and now it's too tight; will have to re-sew it someday if I have the patience. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This bra's measurements have been altered

Altered band, The band was too loose. I altered the band to be shorter; failed and made it too short. The measured numbers are taken with an extender, measuring the length of the band that I find comfortable.

This is a nice non-padded bra with a cute little "peephole" in the middle of the center gore. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

The band was well-fitting at the beginning, but has stretched a bit over the time, so it doesn't really stay in place throughout the day.

The cups are too shallow for me. The center gore never stays near my sternum, so when the band stretches, the wires kinda tend to sit on top of my boobs, especially in the middle part. But that's a thing I've observed with pretty much all my Change Lingerie bras. Guess they are better suited for ladies with shallower breasts than mine - I have quite a lot of projection.

At the beginning, when the bra band was nice and snug, the wires were poking my sides/armpits. When the band stretches and lets my boobs sag a little bit, maybe the overall bra fitting isn't as good, but at least the wires feel more comfortable in the armpit area.

The fit of the cups are excellent. Slightly to small underband, but will probably stretch. I have only used it a few days. First bra I have found where the gore touch my sternum.

Not a bad bra at all but not the best for my shape. It reminds me of the Freya Antoinette I had, only with a little less coverage (a good thing).
Seems well made. Doesn't show under clothing.
A tad high under the arms, but I am short - and it wasn't uncomfortable.
Roughly true to size. Equivalent to a UK 34+, GG+.

I was shocked to discover that Britney Spears had come out with a lingerie line, and even more shocked that it was full of tasteful, sexy pieces using accurate UK sizing. I only wish that I'd discovered it sooner as pretty much every style (save for a few push-up bras, which aren't really my thing) had already sold out in my size (30C). I found the Camellia bra on bare necessities (last one in my size!) and was super pumped. Despite the fact that this site will say that it fits me, it doesn't really and will be going back to them on Monday. ... Soooo if you want it, keep your eye on the bare necessities site https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> (also, it was on sale!)

The band fit is great: a true 30 for once! And I was absolutely thrilled that the cups and spacing were adequately wide. Despite the fact that a 4.5 in cup width works for me, I've realized that I'm happiest in a cup that's closer to 5 in wide as I feel that it's a more appropriate width for my broad-shouldered frame. Is it technically the correct width for me? Who knows. But it seems to me that personal comfort and preference should ultimately be the most important factors.

The bra is really cute and I really like the mesh detail at the top of the cup. Sadly, this is just not a good style for my breast shape/uneven size. Bratabase will say that it fits because I answered the fit questions according to the larger breast as directed, and on that side I fill out the mesh no problem. On my smaller right side though there's a bit of wrinkling. I've pretty much confirmed that my left side is a 30C and my right is a 30B, so for someone who is a wide, even 30C this could be great. That said, the wrinkling isn't awful, and there is another reason that I'm sending it back. There are two raised, curving horizontal seams across each cup. Though they're cute topless, they are very much visible under a shirt, making it pretty impractical for me since I mostly wear fitted clothing. But, if you're a wide, even 30C who frequently wears thicker/more structured tops, I would highly recommend this bra. I hope that she comes out with some lower cut or balconette styles next season. If so, I'll definitely give them a try.

Note: I accidentally hit next after only uploading pics of me in the bra and not the labels or the bra alone (though I took pics of those too). Now I can't figure out how to add more pics. Sorry!

This bra is so pretty (and pricey) but it just doesn't work for me. The Marlies Dekkers style straps cut into my boobs and make it uncomfortable to wear the bra - also, the cup is tad too small, I should wear a 70G (if there was one). Overall, its good quality, but just too small for me.

Decided to try this from Bare Necessities, after they ran a 25% off sale on their site, and am super glad I did! It's gorgeous, and fits much better than expected. The cups are very stretchy, and remind me of the stretchy lace found on Panache Andorra, which means it'll wok well for both FoT and FoB boobs. The support is light, and definitely not an in-your-face cleavage factor, but the shape I get from this is round and close to my chest. It's also double-lined in larger sizes, so I feel very secure in it, while it doesn't have that awful effect Freya sheer bras have in larger sizes. All in all, this is a great bra! I only wish they made this in a UK 32H, as the band is quite stretchy. Be mindful sizes are U.S. based, so this 34J is the equivalent of 34GG. I will be purchasing more from the line.
