The cups fit well, but the band is too big and stretchy for me.

Updated on Nov 04, 2021 Flag this

Feels loose. This is the 2nd balconette I have ever owned and the other feels tight (32D) but more supportive. So I guess I just need to figure out the tradeoff I want. Cups go up high but for some reason gaping is not too big of a problem. I will probably keep this.

Seems nice overall, but wasn't a fit for my shape. The point where the top of the cups meets the straps in the front is slightly too high and/or too wide, so that the fabric rubs against my armpits in a weird way. There's a small embroidered bit / stitch on the upper-outer part of the cups - only a half-cm long or so - that prevents the outer fabric from smoothing out along my shape. This caused the fabric to pull in a way that created an awkward fold of fabric near my armpits.

The underwire seemed to fit relatively well - the gore wasn't too tall, ... which is a problem I've had with some other thirdlove bras. There was some gapping along the inner edges of the cups, especially near the gore, although very minor - if I stood with my shoulders further back than normal, the gapping disappeared.

Visually, I didn't like the color (Atmosphere) as much as I had hoped; it was a bit dull when against my skin tone.

Overall, it was a close fit, but not enough of a 'win' for me to keep; I returned the bra.

This bra was a little tight in the band for a while after purchasing it. As the band loosened up with regular wear, it still maintained it's stretchiness. This style has turned into my go-to bra. I recently put on a few pounds and had to move up in cup size, which then I went and bought more of these.

It's worth mentioning that the foam padding in the cup is thin enough to show pokey nipples.

This bra fits pretty well but it is too shallow for me. It gets pushed down throughout the day. I don’t know how to report this using the options given to me by Bratabase.

The shoulder straps slip if I'm active

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 bra has memory foam cups and it’s very comfortable. I just got the wrong size. I’m a 34DD and my boobs spill out a bit on the side. The shape of the underwire is also too narrow for me as I have wide roots. I bought it in Nov 2020 have worn in 3-4 times.

I purchased this on the theory that balconettes often work well for me, but to my confusion the balconette is actually full-coverage? I thought maybe it was just me; maybe the cups are too tall for me and it’s giving the illusion of full coverage, but then I looked up the stock photos and it’s full coverage on all the professional models, too. I guess it’s just a full coverage lace bra, it didn’t really work for me.

This is a lovely bra! It is a push-up plunge, so there’s less room in the cups and less coverage overall, but it has a very comfortable low gore and the lace lays flat as intended.

This bra was a really interesting fit, I’m not surprised it was discontinued because it definitely won’t work for everyone. The band runs very small for a 32 (it only stretches to 28.5) especially considering that as a front-clasp the bra has no room for adjustment. The fabric is extremely soft and cozy, it almost offset the discomfort of the underwire digging in from the too small band (almost). The cups are spaced far apart, and are quite wide. This bra is even more wide-set and wide-cup than the brand’s famous plunge bras, which was surprising. This bra also has significantly more projection at the wire than the plunge bras, so that’s a plus for anyone who finds the plunges too shallow. This bra is beautiful and the quality is wonderful, it’s a shame it didn’t work for me.

This bra is a deep plunge, and fits a little differently than the same brand’s 30G - Thirdlove » 24/7 Classic Contour Plunge . In theory, this bra fits me well, but there’s something very uncomfortable about how low the gore is on me, it somehow puts pressure on my sternum and is not comfortable if I wear it for too long. If plunge usually work great for you, this might be the perfect bra! I will note though that it has significantly less projection at the wire than 32F - Thirdlove » 24/7 Perfect Coverage Racerback (100063521910 .

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.

Comfy bra, straps too wide for me, fell off. Wore it twice. It's too small for me now.

I have received this bras as a bonus item, no charge, from ThirdLove, added to my order. Although all products were great this seamless lounge bra, in this time of pandemic, is the perfect bra for working from home! Material is ultra soft, overall quality is good, it makes my small boobs look super defined and supported. The band is comfortable and does note poke at all. In fact I would consider adding one of each color to my bra drawer. It comes with removable pads.

This was my second go-around with ThirdLove, and I had forgotten how soft and luxurious the fabrics are. They’re so comfortable to wear! Unfortunately they are also not even close to my size. These are a 30F, but because Thirdlove doesn’t double letters their F is actually equivalent to a DDD/E in common US sizing. It was significantly too small. I wish it fit though!

The fabric on this bra is so soft, it’s miles ahead of most bras I’ve tried in that regard. Unfortunately it’s about 2 sizes too small in the cup, digging in very uncomfortably. The band also feels a little loose as well.

This is a pretty, well-made bra. It just doesn't fit me. I fall out of the cups at the side and the wire digs in. The gore doesn't sit on my sternum. Swapping for a larger size.

This bra is so painful jfc.
The underwire is excruciating, even if it didn't extend an inch past the edge of my boobs at their side. The center gore is way too high and digs into my chest. The top of the cup wrinkles, but I fill out the bottom just fine (until the underwire extends past my IMF and into my armpit). The sides of the bra dig into my armpits. All in all, the same issue that I have with any other bra.
What's so frustrating is knowing that these bras are marketed on empowerment and "data", but their fitfinder quiz is a joke. It basically requires you ... to already know your size, I took it using a bra that's too small for me (SP Amour 3D Plunge in 30E), and the quiz doesn't ask about the gore, or how wide your boobs are, or where they're placed, just if there's any cup gapping (which it then takes to mean you're in a cup too big... which isn't accurate), or if you're quadding and that's pretty much it. Anyway, I'm pretty sure they just said that it seemed like I was wearing the right size bra, but like, I just don't quad man! The gore will hang off of me if a bra is too small, but it's not like they're asking the right questions here.
Anyway, the bra was cute, but literally the exact opposite of what my boobs need.
