  How many reviews have you uploaded with not a single picture or measurement? What matters to me most is the measurements and pictures!! Sigh.

  dbmamaz I'm just getting started here :) I did add measurements on the bras I intend to sell, but I do plan to go back and add measurements and photos to all of them.

• Also, a review should not just include how the bra fits YOU, but should be a little more general, so it is helpful for other people as well.
  You can add your personal notes about bra fit as a "note" to the bra, so it's not visible to others.

  I don't mean this as an offense. Maybe it would be helpful if you check out other reviews with many positive votes, so you can figure out what is important :)

  @braccrastination I'm not a professional reviewer and I'm also new to the site, but I would hope that any information I provide would be helpful to someone somewhere :)

  and sorry if we seem to be ganging up, its just there's been a lot of people posting reviews without measurements. and thats what makes this place different than reading about the bra on amazon or something - the data, the measurements. Its not just you

  But most of us are not professional reviewers. I'm sure not. I've been learning a lot here over the past 2 months

  vexingbet You could include the characteristics of your own boobs in the review, so people who read it would know if it applies to them or not.
  (i.e. wide/narrow root, fullness on top or on bottom, hanging or not, and so on.)

• Btw I'm not a professional reviewer either, I think none of us on Bratabase is :)
  Still, it IS possible to write reviews in a way that does not just give your own impression, but also would be helpful to others.

  bracrastination I hadn't encountered any of these terms for shape until I came here. I don't know what shape I am and it really just confuses me more. Is there any way (maybe asking for fit help?) I can get help determining what my shape is?

  I think the main reason for the all the comments is because you posted your review as a public adventure. I'm surprised to be honest as I've mainly found Bratabase to be very supportive. It stinks that you're gettng attacked when you're just trying to find bras that fit.

  uniteacher Thank you for understanding that I'm a newbie :) I see now that I did flood the adventures page. Can I undo that? I didn't realize at the time that clicking that box did anything more than just make the review public. Live and learn, I guess :/

  I agree with uniteacher , I am personally shocked at some of the comments on this thread. I don't think it is really that hard to be welcoming or at least civil to newbies who are just discovering the site and how it works. There's no good reason to start out by immediately jumping on them.

  How would you guys feel if someone had attacked you the very first day you posted here?! Did we rudely demand that you contribute something to us before we had even helped you with anything? I think not, that is certainly not the way I was greeted at any rate. If people on this site welcomed you when you arrived, if others have been kind and patient with you in your fitting journey I feel like you should try to pay it forward.

  As far as I'm concerned, it looks great. I'm jealous, 'cause Curvy Kate just doesn't work for me. Wires are much too narrow, at least as far as I can determine. :(
