First off, a word about Wonderbra... although one and the same company, a "Wonderbra" means something very different to Canadians than to the rest of the world! Here in Canada, a Wonderbra is usually a no-nonsense, softcup bra. They come in boxes at department stores and generally cater to an older clientele. Just imagine my amusement when I found out that in the UK, Wonderbra is synonymous with plunges and push-ups!

The 3364 "butterfly" minimizer is a wonderful coincidence of inconsistent sizing. The 32D is, believe it or not, a flawless fit to my (usually) 30F figure. For the last 8 years, up until ... my recent professional fitting epiphany, my bra collection consistently solely of 3364's. I loved them to pieces. Simply nothing else in the entire mall fit right.

This is a fantastic bra. Since it's a minimizer style, the central gore is very wide and not designed to rest against the sternum. The shape it gives is gorgeous -- uplifted, rounded, subtly minimized, and with just the slightest hint of cleavage. Under clothes, it's indistinguishable from my Fantasie Esme. The 3364 has soft and satiny cups, and I love the butterfly detailing at the center.

Tragically, Wonderbra discontinued the 32 band size years ago. For a time, I could buy the Bali 3364 (exact same bra) online, until it too was discontinued. Today I get the 34D and alter the band to fit. I'll review the 34D separately

Pros:
- Great shape and uplift.
- The most extraordinarily comfortable bra ever.
- Price! Since Wonderbra is a Canadian brand, they are inexpensive here. Since Canada slaps tariffs on imports, we pay an arm and a leg for UK bras.

Cons:
- 32 (equivalent to a 30) band has been discontinued.
