Initially, I thought the bra fit really well. The band was comfortable, and the straps seemed to be set a semi-reasonable width apart. However, after wearing it more rather than just trying it on, I've found that even with the band on the tightest setting and the straps tightened all the way, the straps would constantly fall down. I wish that the straps were closer together, and this bra came in a 28 band.

The pros: There's no quadboobing or gaping at the top, which is a win for my wide-rooted, shallow boobs. The underwires are a little more rounded than the contour of my underboob, but the removeable cookies help with filling the space.

The bra reminds me a little of the 30DDD - Natori » Feathers Contour Plunge (730023), minus the lace (which I'm not a fan of). I love that it's a plunge, so I can wear it under more tops. The gore feels shorter than the Natori Feathers Plunge, which is nice.

The underwire is excruciating, and the cups are too damn tall. And wide. I have short, narrow roots and projected center full breasts. I have actually talked to multiple fit stylists, and gotten wildly different answers. Some say that this bra is their narrowest, others suggested their full coverage. I even used a hypothetical boob shape (the polar opposite of mine) as an example to demonstrate to a different fit stylist on FB (I messaged them about how I was really frustrated with the lack of data available if you're a data-driven company like... where are the numbers to support your claims about style of bra for shape??) ... how little help I've gotten from their FitFinder quiz re: actually good bra suggestions, and they suggested that I try some other bra of theirs. When I clarified that my boobs are the polar opposite of what I described, they still suggested that style. So, that's annoying.
On the bright side, this confirms that I can't wear bras with a gore above 1.5, and the 1-1.25 range would be better. Everything else about this was deeply frustrating.

Lots of soft, comfortable seams and materials. Okay lounge bra, not really good for much else. Does nothing to shape the girls, minimal amount of support. Not good for splayed shape. For the price, I was expecting something more. Got rid of it.

Straps are too far apart, too short and they are actually 5/8" but the calculator wouldn't let me put that in. I think this would be a nice bra for someone who was not as 'squishy' as I am. I need very firm power net in the band and this is not as firm, which means that the elastic is what is providing support, not the the actual back of the bra. The cups are too far apart for me as well and I need a bit more coverage or I will bounce out.

ThirdLove makes beautiful bras, and they feel so nice on, but they just don't make bras for my body type.

The shoulder straps are thin which I don't enjoy wearing. If that doesn't bother you then it may be a good model to try!

The removable pads are nice. The wings are a good height I think, if the cups are wires were actually in the right place. The straps are a bit too thin for me I think. The mesh overlay does help smoothe out the cups on top. This was recommended as a good idea for someone with wide set breasts, but it didn’t really bring my breasts forward and left room for center fullness I don’t have.

The fabric on this bra is amazingly soft and comfortable, but this particular style is very wide-set. If you are side-set or wide-set, this bra will likely fit great, but if you’re more center-set this bra isn’t likely to fit quite right.

I was suggested this bra from the fit finder on ThirdLove based on my description of my breasts of East and West (as in my nipples point different directions). At some point I also had said Side Set and got this as a suggestion. The problem is that my nipples point different directions because I am so center full and they fall to the sides. This bra did not really pull them together, just felt like I was going to fall out the middle. It was pretty, but I'd rather have a Natori bra.

I decided to try ThirdLove's bra to see how well they can actually fit. To be honest, I didn't expect much since I obviously not every bra will work for every person regardless of what a brand might tout. This bra was certainly no exception. In terms of what I did like about this bra: it felt well made, was quite comfy, and the range they offer for nude colors does feel inclusive. However, the bra shape is rather odd. I consider myself to have somewhat wide set breasts, but this bra was much wider than me. Perhaps part of it is that I still have a narrow ... root despite being a bit splayed. If I slid one cup/wire over so that it sat directly where my root was, it looked like it would fit and got rid of the issues with the cup cutting into the top of my breast. I would recommend this bra to someone who has VERY wide set breasts and probably average root width. I can't imagine this bra working for most people. I can see how it would have been much better than my pre-ABTF sizes though and why many women rave about the brand in general. I just hope they increase their cup sizing and not just their band sizings. I wear a US 30G in their brand an that's practically at the end of their range. My boobs are nowhere near large so a lot of women with large breasts are probably not able to fit in their bras, or at least not with having signs of poor fit.

When I first received this bra I was thrilled, it was so comfortable and fit perfectly (once I removed the inserts). The cups were too small with the inserts in, but removing them solved that issue instantly. The issue I came across was that after a single washing, the pockets where the inserts go no longer laid perfectly flat, and so the vertical seam became very itchy. I could feel it all day, and ultimately this bra was a miss for me. Most of their other plunge bras don’t seem to use inserts, so I’ll try my luck with a different model. The fabric is very soft and noticably higher quality than my 30DD - Parfait By Affinitas » Jeanie Plunge Molded Padded Bra ( Parfait Jeanie) bra, so I was sad to see it go. This bra also has the Thirdlove padded label, which made a big difference in comfort as well.
