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!
