Amore Mio

This is my second attempt at Amore Mio, as I had it prior in a 60P, which at the time of purchase fit perfectly. Since my breasts have grown, I opted to try it again during the Comexim Black Friday sale. This bra is an unpadded black lacy wired bralette. It is both sexy and girly. The lace has a two way stretch sideways, but not a four way stretch up and down. The outer section of the cup is lined with an opaque black for extra support.

For the measurements:
All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the ... body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.

The band measures 20” and stretches to a max of 26.25”. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.

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: 12.75”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 16.5”

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.

As for fit,
My husband laughed and called me small boobies while taking photos of this one, since it does make my breasts look really small (in comparison to how they normally look.) Yes, he can be a jerk sometimes, but he keeps me well stocked in bras and I love him.

Aside from his opinion, I do love this bra, and feel it is a very nice fit. The band is perfect at 26.25” and I can actually wear it on the loosest hook-set! That is something I don’t experience ever, so it is a super nice feature.

The cups fit great, with the gore sitting 1.5 fingers off my sternum (common for me) and it is very comfortable.

The only fit issue in my opinion is that the straps do not adjust short enough for me, but I can easily shorten them so this is not a problem in my opinion. Just like with Safiya (and all Comexim bras) the wires don’t follow the curve of my breast on the outer part of the cup, but I don’t mind since it isn’t causing any pains within this bra. It’s not on my breast tissue so I am fine with it.

The only alteration requested for this bra was moving the straps inward, which I do feel was done.
