I really wanted to love this bra. The color is gorgeous, peacock blue. It has a firm band, comfortable stretch lace, and provides nice shaping. I was happy with everything about this bra, except the one thing that made it unwearable, the cup cutting in to my armpit. I felt like the cup was sized pretty well for me, it went a little farther around my side than necessary, but not bad. The top of the side cup is just so tall. It feels like it is a shape mismatch for me. I'm curious if other people have experienced this with this bra, and I would love to hear suggestions if you think I can get one to fit.

This is the bra size in this style that bratabase said would be likely to fit based on my measurements. Ordered during quarantine while I couldn't be fit in person locally, and I saw this colour was only available in the size recommended. It seemed like kismet! I was shocked to be a J cup, and it turns out, I'm not one. The dark green is a really nice colour, but this bra is not a great fit. Surprisingly, it's actually wearable without alterations and even somewhat supports me. The wires come way too far under my arm, well past my breast tissue though, and are also about ... 3/4 inch below where they should sit under my breasts. This is okay in comfort for some hours, but if sitting a fair bit, the underwire being so low on my ribs becomes very uncomfortable. The band is ultratight; I wore it this way for the photos only, and otherwise use an extender. You can also see in the overhead shot that a sort of strange shape occurs at toward the side of my breast. It's not terribly noticeable when I'm dressed, but it's definitely not idea. I think I may be able to alter this bra to fit nicely, but it will be a lot of work and I'm not sure it's really worth the time to do it.

Having tried this bra on in store a couple of days ago, the 32 band is the right fit for me, and while an H cup is very comfy and would be lovely for hanging around the house in, the 32GG is the best fit overall with the wires sitting where they should. I plan to buy this bra in other colours in the correct size because I do really like it. The matching panty has a really nice back detail (the front is "meh" to me, but the lace bum is worth it).

Envy 30J
I am adding this bra for data/informational purposes only. This Bra is not owned by me at the time of addition to the database.

Envy is an unpadded underwire balconette bra. I have it in peacock blue, which is quite beautiful. The tops of the cups are a very stretchy lace. There are 4 parts to the cup, 3 vertical and 1 horizontal. I tried Envy in 30J and 30JJ, but this review is for 30J only.

The band measures 25” to a max of 31.5” with 3 hooks and 3 rows of eyes.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the ... tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 12.5”

2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 14”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

30J Is my actual bra size. I've been purchasing 32HH and sewing the center gore to pick up the cups in the middle and to get the underwrites from rubbing against my arm pit. But since this bra was on sale for $34 dlls I couldn't just let it slip away. Everything fits, center gore sits comfortable. The cups envelope my whole breast no quadboob. It's perfect. Except the underwrites run too too high and the cup is too wide and rubs uncomfortable against my arm pit. If I would wear a sleeveless blouse u will be able to see the bra all up in my armpit. There is no way to sew the center gore on this bra I would probably be cut in half by my own bra. It's just right around my ribs. Because my breast are very soft.
