This review is for the cream-coloured "Betty Rocks" bra (british-theme fabric) in 28E. I also have a review for the Betty in red floral in 28F.
Me: tall roots reaching collarbone, very close-set (touching), average to narrow width, shallow, rounded, splayed east-west, FOT or even, centre-full horizontally, high set, short torso, broad shoulders, 26" snug UB and 34" leaning bust. Size 28E-F or 26F-FF.
Wow, this bra is shallow! Ladies who are wider and shallower should asap try out tutti rouge's moulded bras, especially this model. I thiiiiink I am shallow, but this small and shallow in the cups for me, I get extreme quad boob. There is no way ...I will wear this but I may keep it just in case I lose the weight i've gained in cup size in the past few months because the fabric pattern is so adorable. This band seems true to size. I also have this in a red floral 28F and the depth is more right for me, but it's a little too wide. Also in that version the band is a whole inch or so shorter, almost near a 26 band, which is odd and inconsistent (but works for me).
TL;DR: I recommend this bra to breasts than lean toward the shallower, wider, even to FOT end of the spectrum. Read more 109 more words
A very pretty and comfortable bra, but the half adjustable straps are a problem. When worn racer back, cups are filled to the brim, and I get very slight orange-in-a-glass effect on my bigger boob. Please read my full review for more info!
Me: tall roots reaching collarbone, very close-set (touching), average to narrow width, shallow, splayed east-west, FOT or even (unsure), centre-full, high set, short torso, broad shoulders, 26" snug UB and 34" leaning bust.
This fits me perfectly in the cups, not too deeply projected, not too shallow. The cups are not notoriously wide like many other TR bras; they are 5" even, which is perfect for me. (Is that narrow or average for this bra size??) That said, it is not as supportive as I'd ideally want. I hike the straps up way tight to compensate but then they try to saw off my arms. I'll try using a ...Rixie clip to tighten the band, which is TTS, to see if that helps. The fabric is mesh but delicate and soft and not stretchy. There are side support mesh panels sewn in. The cool hot pink colour is great.
update: support isn't great with this bra, i guess due to the mesh fabric. as well the mesh band is pretty stretchy, like a freya, so for support ill use a rixie clip with this bra. otherwise its so cute and the cups fit perfectly. Read more 85 more words
Buying a new brand online without trying on is always kind of a gamble (I'm looking at you Curvy Kate Scantilly). However, this was an unbeatable price and it came in a 28E. I've actually been losing weight during the lockdown because of home cooking and the general lack of office snacks. I've gotten used to wearing old worn out 30 bands that are probably closer to a 32 now, and now the 28 band feels tight. I don't think it's too tight, just an unfamiliar level of tight for me. This 1/2 cup/balcony style fits my wide, shallow shape well. The wires are surprisingly wide which is ...just fine with me. "Normal" width boobs may not like this though. I'm also long in the torso and I found the straps a little bit too short but again, wearable. I also consider myself to be really narrow set and most gores are too tall or too wide for me. The gore on this is actually decently comfortable. The print, of course, is adorable. The black lace ruffle on the under bust tends to flip up. I love the gold heart shaped sliders. I also got the matching panties and they are also adorable. That extra small fits my US size 2/4 ass fine. But the cut is a little cheeky, which I don't care for. Read more 115 more words
It fits quite different from the 28E - Tutti Rouge ยป Betty Bra (TU103) , but it's still a pretty good fit. Good for shallow breasts with a wide root and/or a tall root. The tulle section is loose, but can be tucked into the cups.
Reminds me of the 90s. Nice satin, a shade of pink that doesn't instantly make me nauseous. The heart-shaped adjusters are just darling.
Problems: Straps are only partially adjustable, and the wires are a bit too wide. Given the construction of the cup and the evenness and softness of my tissue, it means that it doesn't really give me any uplift and makes me look sort of pointy (though it looks fine under a shirt). I think I can make it work, though.
As far as who would be good for this -- if you are reaaaally FoT this definitely won't work for you and it will cut in. You need to kind of have wide and projected FoB tissue with somewhat narrow roots (the chest kind, not the armpit kind).
The band isn't as tight as I'd like. Cups are a little too small. Otherwise an absolutely gorgeous bra! It's still wearable, but not as fitting as the Belen half cup bra from Comexim.
Such a cute bra! I love all the little details that go into it, such as the "Tutti Rouge" etching on the clasp of the bra, and the heart shaped adjusters for the straps. Unfortunately the gore is just too wide and tall for me, it sits on my breast tissue and is slightly painful unless I push the wires all the way towards the other side of the channel. The gore needs to be narrowed, and while this is a simple enough alteration for me, I have a too many bras already. I get a natural lift in this bra, and it fits pretty well for my shallow boobs. The upper mesh actually sits pretty flat on me, instead of wrinkling because my roots are too tall, or wrinkling because they are too empty. I would recommend this bra if you can find it cheaply to someone with a shallow shape, and has a decent amount of space between the breasts.
Me: tall roots reaching collarbone, very close-set (touching), average to narrow width, shallow, splayed east-west, FOT or even (unsure), centre-full horizontally (for this reason I don't usually wear plunges), high set, short torso, broad shoulders, 26" snug UB and 34" leaning bust.
Another wide, shallow, and open on top Tutti Rouge moulded bra. Wires too wide on my smaller breast. band is TTS, cups have one vertical seam. They are that soft and flexible kind of moulding/lining/padded, gore is lowish and narrowish (no space between wire channels, yay).
The top bit of fabric is actually floating mesh, it tacks but it doesn't really add to the bra's support structure. ...When I ordered this I didn't look closely and didn't realize this. The bra are still supportive even though the cups are not as tall as I thought/wish, it's just more like a plunge than the balconette I expected.
The straps are pretty and embellished and the cups' satin overlay fabric is so silky. Overall the bra has a nice dark and sexy romantic appeal.
Overall this fits well except for being a tad wide on my small side. The only objective thing I don't like is how the very top edge of the cups' moulding is lifted/bends upwards and this is visible under tops. It's not a huge deal and I'll continue to wear this, just not under certain tight tops. You can see what I mean in my angle shot photo. Read more 131 more words
The bra is gorgeous in red! Unfortunately, 28E is a bit too small. It flattens my shape and boobs escape to the armpits. The wires are also not as wide as I expext from Tutty Rouge. the center gore is too tall and rough and cuts into my ribcage. The underwire also cuts into my bigger breast on the side.
Queenie is a result of a bra exchange and it fits a lot better than what I expected. In retrospect, I think I went for it because of this beautiful purple colour. True to size both in band and cup, the band a bit tight, but hopefully will expand somewhat. Update: after gaining weight this bra is now small both in band and cup. A pity, as it gave awesome cleavage - now it only quads. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Very pretty bra. I have a 27.5" UB but usually find 30E more comfortable. This 28 fits well, but cup runs big. I sized down from my usual 28F on Tutti email customer service advice. They were right. This one fits well. Not sure if all Tutti runs like this. Not as lifted and projected as my Cleo bras, but still nice.
Tutti Rouge absolutely KILLS IT on the details of this bra. Heart-shaped strap adjusters, patterned stretch lace overlay, perfect little bow and ribbon, and a reminder to "carpe diem" on the tag.
My best fit is Cleo Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) in 28E. Liliana in 28E had a nice snug band, a beautiful thing for a small 28-band like me. I think the cups would work for a similar shape as Marcie.
The dealbreaker: the wires were too wide for me. Because I have a small frame, this caused the cups to wrap around toward my back and the straps to cut into my armpits uncomfortably.
I would highly recommend this bra if too-wide wires don't bother you or if Marcie's wires are too narrow for you.
In a sucker for purple bras! Unfortunately, this bra is not only the won't shape for me, but also to small in the cups or maybe just too shallow. Either way, it's not a great fit and it's too bad because it feels like a good quality bra and is very very pretty!
I'm enjoying this bra so far. It's gorgeous. Much prettier in person than I expected. The wires are too wide and the shape it gives is quite minimized, which I'm not crazy about. It's comfortable though, and if I get around to taking the black ribbon out (it has a slight defect where it sticks up), then I think it'll work well as a neutral bra.
This bra is about one cup size too large for me. Because of this, the wires are too broad for me and the straps are a bit too wide set. I believe these issues would be fixed by going down a cup size.
This bra is a very full coverage style. I can't fill out the tops of the cups (even if I went down a size) because my frame is just too petite. The cups are a 4-piece construction and give me a rather pointy shape, but it looks alright under a shirt.
Besides the gorgeous prints (who doesn't love polka dots?), the best part about this bra is its low centre gore. At just 1.5" tall, it works pretty well for me and my rounded sternum. I did have to bend the wires away a bit.
It's gorgeous. I love the mint, it's my idea of 'sweet' (pink makes me agressive...)
The 28E fits like a charm, but normally I'm somewhere between a 28E and F. (I have fairly wide, shallow, full-on-bottom boobs)
The band is really comfy on my skinny 26in ribcage. It seems to be a true 28 band, am wearing it on the loosest hook like all other 28 bands. (I wear my bands as lose as possible without them travelling) The cups are wide, but not oddly so. I have perhaps half a cm of space left in the cup, but I think it encloses more of the ...'underarm fat' than other bras because it's a smooth fit everywhere.
I'm 5'10 tall, so I have no problem with the long straps, but I'm already adjusting them to their tightest on the right. I can imagine this might be a problem for someone who normally shops at the 'petite' department. (But then again, height isn't the ONLY determinant of where the bra sits, and they should be easy to alter)
After a day's wearing it's stil comfy and exactly where I put it this morning.
The bra is definitely a win.
The briefs are a size S, and they're made for someone who wears bigger jeans than I do, sadly. I don't know why Tutti Rouge sells 28 bands but no XS panties! They somehow stay put though. Read more 129 more words
[This is for the "Vanilla" coulourway, the band seems to be longer, but less stretchy than the "Hot Coral" or "Cornflower Blue"] Perfect for shallow, full on bottom breasts- full review will be up as soon as I get the matching brazillian!
This is such a cute bra!! Thanks so much for your review. Sounds like this could fit me. I'll see if I can get some Tutti Rouge bras to try :)
