About me: I am probably full on bottom, a little wide set, and projected (mainly at the bottom). My underbust is roughly 28 inches (maybe a little bit under), and my bust roughly 31 (standing) and 32 (leaning). My suggested ABTF calculator measurement is 28DD or 30D for comfort, but I am not entirely sure what it should be yet.
Please note: I bought this Understance bra on its $10 CAD sale. The company wrote in its description of this bra: "This product has an aesthetic flaw ... However, there's a bit of extra fabric on the cups, which causes wrinkling and bunching."
After "scoop and swoop"ing and wearing for ... several non-consecutive days, here are my thoughts:
PROS:
- Comfy and soft: the material is not itchy at all!
- Look: nice deep navy colour, and the cups and mesh make it aesthetically pleasing.
- Sturdy: seems like it won't break or wear down too easily.
CONS:
- Band size: is too large for me, even on the tightest hook.
- Cup size: gapes a lot at the top and outer edges (the bottom half is perfectly fine though).
- Mesh wrinkling (above the cups): this is probably due to the overall cup volume being too large for me (due to a combination of band size and maybe cup size). If the volume was correct then I don't think the mesh would wrinkle on me.
I'm not going to complain about the fabric wrinkling on the cups themselves because that was the reason for the sale.
Conclusion:
- Very comfy
- But I need a smaller band size and maybe a smaller cup volume (so I would want to try 28D if it exists, and adjust cup size from there).
- OR maybe I am too FOB and projected for this particular bra.
