So by now you all know I absolutely love this bra, lol. Why else would I buy it in 3 different sizes, and 2 colourways, and I really really want the pink one too.
The band on my 32FF feels a little loose, but the cups, surprisingly, still fit great (with a rixie clip). So I figured I'd sister size down, but unfortunately, the cups on this one don't feel as roomy. Sadface.
It's not so much visible on the photos, and it's not so much visible in real life, lol. It just sorta feels like I will fall out of it if I lean over. Which is a common issue for me with half-cups, but this one is extreme.
The band is nice and tight, the wires firm (seriously, they don't budge), and the shape is perfectly rounded, so if someone is looking for those things, at GBP9.99 on lingerieoutletstore, this bra is a jackpot. Unfortunately, I can't buy it in 30GG as it wasn't made in GG. Oh well.
Does your band feel okay? :) Haha, I can understand what you mean about a half cup bra. I can also see where you'd be afraid you'd fall out of the cups :) too bad it didn't work like you were hoping, but it never hurts to try. It's nice having a bra that you really like! :)
DerangedDragons19 Ah yes, the bands that stretch to about 75cm +-1 feel great, except for the 65GG EMs which feel tight, god knows why. It's probably the cups...
Ooh goody! Hooray for great fitting bands! :) Ha, I couldn't tell you. It could be? Do the cups feel tight/pinched to you?
It feels tight around the wires actually! At the back, the sides, I don't even feel the band, but at the wires it's pretty uncomfortable
Hm. It could be your cups then. I've noticed that the band tends to feel tighter when the cups are too small. Some brand are more noticeable :p Kris Line, Comexim, Kinga, and EM felt that way for me, but KL and Kinga were way worse. 😬 Hopefully your 65H trial can give you some answers :)
Is this an unlined bra? It does give you a great shape. I may have to check it out for myself in my size. Hmmm....
It is unlined! I have photos of beige and black in 32FF, even nicer shape!
It looks very lovely. Sorry you don't feel secure in it though. :-/
Oh yeah, it does look like you have better support in the 32FF. Interesting.
I've had this on my 'want' list / basket from lingerieoutletstore for a while now - thanks for your review! May have to bite the bullet and order, before it sells out 🙃
However I'm curious, they offer a balconette and a plunge version? But the pictures shown seem the same. And here on BTB it's only added as 'fuller bust bra'. Which one did you order? I'd lean towards the plunge as I dislike high gores, perhaps getting that in pink in 32G I guess..
I actually got both (the ones in 32FF I have added here), to me it's the same bra and I couldn't tell you what the difference is. This one is the balconette.
Thanks for your quick reply, and interesting! Do you know if they did have different labels / serial numbers? Or would it just be 1 model, accidentally added under two different ads 🤔
Figured they might have added a wrong picture - as the plunge & balconette really look the same - and there's a different bra, a Fantasie I think, where they added a picture from the side support bra in an ad for the vertical seam bra. Anyhow. We'll see!
On the bras themselves the code is the same. On the website, different. I'm honestly not sure whats going on with that, I will say tho this bra has that sort of medium height gore that could pass for either or.
My shape: short rooted and projected at the wire.... This bra: tall and shallow at the wire = did not fit.
The aesthetics of this bra is very bridal-like, as the name implies, though I bought it was an everyday strapless. The quality looks good, and it's a multiway, but the mismatch with my shape means that it's unwearable for me.
First thoughts: I feel like the cup has a bit of a funny shape to it. It feels... almost square shaped at first. After having worn it for a bit, I don't notice it in my shape. But that was my first impression. There's a little bit of excess material on the bottom of the cup, but it's not folding over on me (yet at least. That may change, as this is my first day wearing the bra). I have a shape around 2/5 FOB. I find I have this problem with a lot of bras.
The band is quite firm. It's almost a little too tight but ...I prefer my band on the tighter side so it's not a big deal for me. But I would advise a girl in the same size is me who is uncomfortable in a tight band to definitely go for a 32 band. The straps barely adjust long enough. I have them as long as they will go. It's comfortable, but a little tight.
Second opinion: After a couple of days of wearing it. This bra doesn't fit nearly as well as I had thought. Oh my. I usually love being in my bra. I'm perfectly comfortable without taking it off. But this one. It's tight. The band has very little give. I wore it out to the movies, and I couldn't wait to get home and get it off. It was digging into my ribs. I seriously considered unhooking it right there in the theatre. The straps are not very long. Upon further wear I realized that the metal piece attaching the straps to the cups (shaped like two side-by-side horizontal rectangles) had turned 90 degrees because it was pulling so much. The straps were definitely too short! There is also some gaping in the cup on either side of the gore. Just a little. The wires are too wide for me.
The bra is definitely pretty. It's more on the full coverage side. Similar to the Deco in that regard. Also a good cleavage bra. I love the colours. Read more 240 more words
While the design of this bra is very pretty, it's definitely not shaped very well for me. The cups aren't quite filled out at the top and middle. The underwire sits a bit below my inframammary fold, as well. It'd work better for someone who is fuller in the middle, I think.
