very small cups for a DDD but tight band

This bra is not owned any more

Decided to try this based on recommendations and my love for the Embrace Lace bra.

This bra is a satisfying plunge, with a very low gore. The cups don't seem as tall as on other plunges - they stay out of my armpits.

It is made of a thicker but more luxurious feeling fabric than Embrace Lace. Hides nips better, but it kind of begins to be uncomfortable much like a Deco. It does give me a nice shape like a Deco though!

Gore is wider, and cups are wider but deeper than some plunges.

So overall I like the plunge and feel like it adds some sex appeal where my Embrace Lace is more covering, but I'm passing on it because it's not comfortable.

I think I would recommend this bra to someone who is seeking a plunge bra and needs slightly shorter cups than Deco has.

I have this bra in 30DD as well and bumped up a cup size when I started quadding. Based on my older one, the band might stretch pretty quickly. But it also doesn't seem to need to be extra snug to stay in place well. The underwires and center gore are perfect on me, so it feels secure and supportive. It's been comfortable enough and looks smooth under t-shirts. However, it is overall too big for my frame. The straps are set too wide, and the cups are too tall, doing unflattering things to my armpits. I don't like the exposed plunge feeling either, which doesn't seem to ... be super compatible with my shape. So I'm not a huge fan of the style, but it does work well enough and it's the best fit I've found so far.


UPDATE: I got a little adjustable band that hooks across the straps in the back, not as extreme as a racerback, but enough to keep them from sliding off my shoulders. The strappy thing is annoying to deal with, but it also causes the cups to angle slightly inward and gives me a nearly perfect fit.

I am old enough that I do NOT want my bra to be visible under my clothes, especially my work clothes. This bra fits the bill, and the trim makes it prettier than your average t-shirt bra (the underbust lace doesn't tend to be visible, for whatever reason).

Cups are very molded, so shrugging shoulders forward makes the cups' line visible, but my local (excellent) bra-fitting shop confirmed it's a good fit. The straps sometimes slip off, but that seems to be my shoulders.

Very pretty and comfortable bra!

This bra is my favorite basic. I sized up to 30DDD recently but I can tell it will not last through my pregnancy. Hoping it will be perfect after nursing.

Sadly, this bra is not made in larger cup sizes for the 30 band.

A nice basic bra but it ran a little too wide for my frame. Straps are set too far apart. This is more noticeable when I am reaching in front of me such as when typing. It feels fine when standing with my arms at my sides.

This bra has great coverage, but the downside to that is it feels a little frumpy. I don't fill out all of the cup on the bottom and sides but still have a minor quad boob affect. The gore separation is comfortable but the band is a little too stretchy. Overall, I like it enough to keep it (but I might just be desperate.)

At first I thought this fit really well and was sold two of them. Only after wearing for around for a while did I find out the wires came up way to high on the side and dig into the flesh by my armpit. I also have this strange bit of extra fabric towards the bottom sides of the bra. The 30DD was too small in the cup an didn't lay flat against my sternum but rather sat on top of my breast tissue. I've just given up on this one and decided the style isn't good for my shape.

This is a really nice bra, and goes well under shirts.
