Whimsy makes really attractive and inexpensive bras. This bra is of ok quality. The problem I have with this bra is that the straps do not supplement the support of the band enough. The 32 band is probably not small enough for me because I notice some creeping during the day and the straps do not seem to provide enough support although both feel tight enough. And worst of all, about 1/2 way though the day this bra always begins to itch UGH!! Anyway, looks-wise this is a great bra. Size and fit, not so much for me. While it is a seamed style, the materials and construction just don't seem adequate to support the weight of my breasts without the bra slipping around. Not to mention the cups are just too small, all in all just a bad fit for me. Not to say that any of this is a reflection on the bra itself; just not good for me.
Seems to fit! Cups are stretchy and band fits just fine. Straps are a bit wide but not a huge problem. Lace is a bit itchy though. Will probably keep this one.
This bra is brand new, so I can't speak for its longevity, but at the start, it is firm, snug, and very supporting. The wire and gore shape is like a demi, but this bra gives full coverage. All of the elastic is very firm, and there is elastic not only in the band, but along the edges of the cups. I really appreciate the firm elastic along the outside (armpit) edge of the cups, which makes the bra feel more secure. The elastic along the inside edges has a little more give, and just keeps the lace from popping up or ruffling. The gore is so narrow ...that the wires are almost touching, so no trouble with the center digging into flesh. The cups themselves have a vertical seam, but are also constructed of a stretchy mesh fabric, so I can imagine that heavier breasts wouldn't get much support from it, but for me, it's amazing.
On the down-side, the band seems to run a little small. This 32 stretches to only 31 inches at the moment. It's okay for me, since I add two to my underbust measurement, but if you don't, then you may want to go up a size in this one. The stitching is itchy in one spot near the armpit too, but I may be able to fix that if it doesn't smooth out on its own. Read more 124 more words
