Okay, I never would've tried this bra, but I saw it listed on eBay for an affordable price, $16.99 and I thought to myself - I think this will be my correct size in Ulla Dessous, and you know me, I like to experiment with bras! Totally a different style than what I would've chosen. The bra has the most center-pull straps (very thick bra straps, too) and the most projected shape of ANY bra I own. You can see there's some slight wrinkles at the apex of the cups, I still marked it as "fit" though.
I wanted to try out Ulla bras; this is very much ...a retro style. Also, because it's a full cup, it isn't as "summer shirt friendly" as any of my balconette bras. Overall though, I do find it comfy. It does have super thick bra straps. But the shape is quite pointy, as you can see.
the store that I got it from was called overstocks and samples and I think she did quite a good job, because she shipped out quickly, and I have no complaints. https://www.ebay.com/str/overstocksandsamples
It's good to try a different style than what you're used to. I probably wouldn't have chosen this style if it wasn't Ulla Dessous, but I was curious about this brand, and I wanted to see it's fit/construction. I can say - at least for this bra - that it has *very deep cups.* Read more 133 more words
this is beautiful bra that I bought a year ago now on the bra website Bustimi.com I can't remember how I found this store, but I probably was searching from some Polish bras. Anyway, I saw their Ulla bras were on sale, and I couldn't resist https://bustimi.com/collections/ulla Because I already knew my size in Ulla from buying a bra on eBay for $16, this one https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dnmsm/ (which I have gotten so much wear out of), I decided to take a risk on this bra for my birthday.
I got a lot of wear out of this bra, but then I lost 20 pounds recently, so I don't fit into this bra any longer. However, I was just examining it today, and I'm so impressed by it's craftmanship.
These Ulla bras retail for much more, like $200, in Canada. They're made in Germany.
Since my weight loss, I can't wear this bra anymore, because it's too big in the cups.
The main thing I want from a sports bra is bounce control and I didn't get that from this bra.. it has decent side support but not enough up/down control - I wasn't going to spill out of the top but my boobs moved too much for my liking when all I did was a false jump, so I absolutely could not go jogging in this bra. The straps were wide and firm and super comfortable and the fabric felt soft and cool but the cups were too soft and didn't give me any visible lift at all (side view), it gave me a very flat look at the ...top and the middle - maybe the cups were too shallow near the gore or the cups were too high? I don't know but I really didn't like the shape - it was worse than if I wasn't wearing a bra - just flattened - I guess you could call that compression but it was basically useless as I still had movement. Also the gore did not lie flat at all, there was slight wrinkling at the bottom of the cup, it was a major chore to do up the hooks and the side wires were cutting in a bit.. so a very odd fit - this is the smallest back size I can fit into and also the largest cup so its not that I needed a different size its just how its made.
