I keep seeing Third Love ads and they piqued my curiosity. I did their online sizing test and then ordered the bra they claimed would fit me so well I would forget I'm wearing it. I got the bra today, and I don't like it. I can't tell if this is only the wrong shape/style for me, or if it is just too big for me overall.
They send me a 32D, which is quite ambitious, especially since they actually have smaller options. The Classic T-shirt Bra's shape reminds me of the Panache Porcelain, which is still one of my all time favorite everyday ...bras. I wear Porcelain in 30DD. The Third Love bra doesn't feel supportive like the Porcelain though, but that's highly likely because the band is definitely too loose. The bra came missing the second hook on the third rung, so I can't clip it at its tightest setting. This bra is soft, and it feels sturdy and dependable. It does seem like it could last awhile. I'm sending it back, though, because I don't think the size is right, and I don't want to pay $70.00 for a bra with a manufacturing flaw. Read more 99 more words
I ordered 2 sizes from ThirdLove, 34C1/2 (poor fit, wrinkly and too loose/unsupportive) and 32D1/2 (great fit!) This was closer to my true size per ABTF calculator which gives me 32DD. (bratabase gives me 32DD or 32E) I have not really tried prior unlined bras and not sure I usually like the triangle shape? But I think it looks OK, and it felt so good I could not stop wearing it. I was concerned for nipple coverage but they did not show under the first few T shirts I tried. And it is just so very comfortable. Definitely gives enough support but very very stretchy.
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 was seduced into trying these Thirdlove bras online through social media ads. I found this one on sale, but the "Strappy" model didn't offer any band sizes smaller than a 32, which I thought was strange given the 24/7 line goes all the way down to 28, I believe. This bra is a beautiful teal color and the cups are a soft foam, which they refer to as "memory foam" but it doesn't feel like what those space mattresses are made of. It's very lightweight compared to a molded cup and is still able to conceal my nipples decently.
The Strappy has two 7/8" elastic straps that ...act as the wings with no material between them, revealing the skin by your ribcage all the way around your back to where the clasps meet. It also uses the same type of straps to create the gore. I really like the look of this bra. Hubby was surprised when I showed it to him and he said it looked like a stripper bra. Hahaha.
The weightlessness of this bra makes it feel like you're not wearing a thing. And despite this being a 32 band, it was snug enough around my 28" ribcage that my bit of ribcage fluff puffed out between the two wing straps. My side fat doesn't stick out terribly, but enough if you're self-conscious about it or if you're trying to smooth out your sides for a tight-fitting shirt.
One thing to note is that this bra does not have a continuous band, so it won't give you that feeling like you're wearing a serious, quality bra. If you need hefty support, I would not suggest this bra. But if you're on the smaller size of the spectrum like me, it's cute and comfy! The foam that they use hugs your curves very well without wrinkling. The straps are placed well and they don't cut into my underarm at all. The cup itself is shaped like full coverage, but doesn't come too high up my chest. Generally I have a problem with full coverage because I don't have enough upper fleshiness to fill out the tops of the cup. My roots are tall, but firm, so molded cups have empty space on top and 3-part cups wrinkle terribly. It's a delicate balance of finding just the right height cups that are shallow enough on top but not too shallow that it cuts into my roots. For my shape (tall & wide roots, slightly heavier on the bottom) this cup fits perfectly.
I don't know how long this bra will last, as it feels somewhat delicate. The longevity will depend on how long the elastic can keep its shape before stretching out too much. When that happens, I will likely shorten the straps as I really love the fit! Read more 362 more words
I think yours is the 3rd True Love bra I've seen that has had manufacturing issues which is surprising.
