If ever I wanted a bra to fit, it was this one. It was the most expensive I'd ever bought and I fell madly in love with it in the store. Unfortunately, this was before I knew anything about my correct size or how a bra should really fit. If I adjusted my soft, deflated breasts into the cups just right, I suddenly had awesome cleavage. Then, I discovered a hook on the back of the straps, where you can connect them and boost the cleavage even more! The two inch thick padding, in addition to the super crazy push up, let me feel for a few ... moments like I had the large full breasts I've been dreaming of owning, for decades. I loved the look, alone and under a shirt. I even loved how they felt in my hands. And the bra itself is so cool looking. SO. MUCH. FUN. !!!
Alas, the moment was short lived.
The band is super stretchy...easily stretching to 34+ inches. So, no support there. Which made the rest of the bra fit like it was floating, not supporting me in any real way and I think that was the most major fit flaw of all. (I would LOVE to try this in a 30 band, except VS doesn't make such a thing.) No support on the sides (the wings are stretchy sheer mesh), the gore not even touching my skin. Unless I stood perfectly still, upright, with shoulders back..... I wasn't filling the top of the cups, but had major quadboob towards the middle. If I laid on one side, the top boob would fall right out.
The padding is exceptionally thick, about 2 inches of foam in much of the bra. When I pull the band tighter manually, and do a swoop and scoop so that my breasts are completely in the cup, I DO fill the whole cup and spill way out. This bra is definitely not true to size in any way. I still haven't found my ideal size, but have narrowed it down to be somewhere around 28DD/30D. Which means I should not fill and spill excessively out of 32D (although I know padding changes the size fit...I haven't yet explored quite how that works. It may just be that I don't know any better and that this is to be expected with so much padding.)
With the J-hook attached at the back of the straps, it pulled the straps closer to my neck in a way that painfully irritated my clavicle after wearing it for a fairly short amount of time.
I'm not sure who this would fit, but I must admit, I am a little jealous of anyone who can rock this beautiful bra. The faux leather is sexy as hell (to me, anyway) and the lacy back of the straps are really unique.
