Sevesa

This bra is so loose that it actually feels like it's floating. Pretty comfortable/okay fit otherwise though. The pattern is pleasing, it has lace wings, and there are removable pads.

I like the colour of this bra better than the white. It's very pretty on! Unfortunately the colour does not take away the issues I have with this bra - the itchiness from the fabric around the nipples and the under wires. I do not believe that the fabric agrees with my sensitive skin (this one is 69% polyamide, 22% polyester, and 9% elastane). I actually find it itchier than the white. It may also be the construction. The stitch lines land right on the nipple because of the sheer fabric. It is also looser in the band than the white. It gives a nice classic shape - rounded, flat going inward, and slightly pointy but not in a dramatic way.

This is one of the most ill-fitting bras I've ever had the misfortune of putting onto my breasts (since escaping the bra matrix, anyway). It's a shame, because I like the black Just Peachy bra I own in 30FF. I can't even come close to getting this one done up, whereas the 30FF is comfortably tight in the band. This one runs small in the band--it only stretched to 27.5 inches. The straps are very short.

The cups on this also seem too large in the top, which is the same problem I have with the 30FF. The seam of the cup across my breast seemed to dig ... in despite there being extra room in the cup, and that made the shape wonky too. This doesn't happen on the 30FF. I'm not sure if I should bother trying to size up in sister sizes--perhaps this bra doesn't work for even breasts (ie, neither full on top/bottom)?

Still, it's a beautiful bra. I think it's fairly unfair to comment about it when the band is too small for me because it distorts how everything else fits. It looks fine in the pictures, but I was holding it behind my back for the sake of the photo.

For a while in 2012, I alternated between two identical Lepel Athena bras in 32E. It was my favourite and best (...only) near-fitting bra, but unfortunately it is now too large for me.

The cups themselves are smooth and kind of boring, but I like the lace on the band and straps. It was smooth under my shirts and very comfortable. The band is pretty stretchy.

I purchased them from Bramora in Dublin. The fitter there is fantastic and I haven't found a better one yet.

This bra gives the illusion of a nice fit until I swoop and scoop, at which point my nipples show. The cups are too small and the band is too large.

This was one of my favourite bras around the time I exited the bra matrix. I find La Senza bra bands to be very stretchy; this band is way too large for me. It's unfortunate, because this bra is pretty great: it's soft, seamless, has no real underwire, and is aesthetically pleasing. It also gives a lot of cleavage. I find that the shape of it changes as the day goes on - from round to a little bit more flat. It also gives me a quad-boob when I swoop and scoop. The cups are rather far apart.

I like the look and the feel of this bra, but the fit isn't right. The cup wrinkles just a tiny bit, and the band is too loose for me. The left breast is also on the verge of quadboobing, despite the small bit of wrinkling. I don't think I'm meant to wear Midnight Grace bras. The band in the 32F I tried fit fine, while this one I have to wear on the smallest hook despite being brand new.

On first impression, this bra is awesome! I really took a chance with this once since there was so little information, and I'm glad I did. The cups are a tiny bit misshapen from the envelope, but I'm expecting them to even out with wear. Otherwise the fit is perfect. I also appreciate that the embellishments do not poke through my clothing.

Goodness. I've been trying on old bras that were "professionally fitted" to me back while still immersed in the bra matrix. The fit keeps getting worse it seems. In this case, I actually really like the bra, or like the idea of it. The cups are a weird shape, the band is too big, and the gore doesn't come close to tacking. I think this one is too far off from my normal size to salvage.

Now that I've hit adulthood I'm noticing that my body is taking on this 20-something leanness and it's really mucking up the fit of my bras! At the moment I don't quite fill out the right cup, and the cups are stiff so it's pretty noticeable. Right now I also don't fill out the bottoms, as there is a bit of wrinkling.

I also own this bra in 30F. This one has less bulging in the band and the rings on the straps do not dig into my back. Previously they were go-to bras for a night out, as this bra gives excellent cleavage and lovely modern silhouette. They also look good under clothing - if the cups fit perfectly. I'm idly wondering whether a 32DD would fit, or if I'd end up with a fit and a quadboob :\
