Bought off zullily mostly because it looked nice and , but I didn't realize that Affinitas has


Pros:

Nice color- I personally am very partial to navy because I think it is less harsh than black and looks nice on my skintone.
Firm band that seems to run true to size in 32F
Side boning- good for support and keeping things where they should be
Cons:


High gore - gave me blisters almost
Very high wings
Rough edges on pretty much everything.The boning was crazy uncomfortable.
Stiff cups
The foam feels rather.. cheap.

This bra is not owned any more

I liked the design of this half cup, and it seemed more elegant and versatile than the frantic patterns of most Freya bras. I think it fits decently, but it has an inferior shape to most other Freya half cups I've tried.

Pros:
It's a half cup in black that doesn't poke much underneath tops
Pinstripe pattern
Nice materials
Comfortable
Supportive

Cons:
Fuller coverage than normal Freya half cup - gapes sometimes especially if I slouch
Less great shape than some half cups I've tried
The straps are too large for the rings connecting the straps to the band - might wear out early because of that

I like this bra as an idea, but when on, it is far from perfect. I have a decent amount of pain when wearing it all day, though admittedly not so much that it definitely belongs in my reject bin.

Pros:
Pretty cute for a T-shirt bra
Comes in basic colors (there really aren’t that many options for DD+ t-shirt bras in beiges and blacks etc)
Large size range
Thin straps – much cuter than those giant straps that Freya bras have

Cons:
Wide straps – they rub super badly. I always have raw red areas after wearing this bra
Itchy tag
Wide gore
Gapes because of weird shape

I’m keeping it for now, but I might get rid of it in the future.

I picked this up from eBay because I had heard it was amazing for shallow/full on top breasts. I got it in 30FF in hopes that it would have a gore that is closer together, which would be more comfortable.

Pros:

Good quality; nice materials
Pretty details!
Surprisingly close to a neutral underneath clothing - I wore it under a creme and grey top and it didn't show
Cleavage, yay!
Good for shallow/full on top breasts
Wonderful globe like breast shape

Cons:

Half adjustable straps - they fall off easily.
The lace is a little stiff -it kind of gapes
Gore is too wide and pokes into my breast tissue
Wires are not quite wide enough on the sides for me- they cut in a little bit

This bra is not owned any more

Pros:

Cute, if you’re into burlesque.
Seems to give others good cleavage, might have done so for me if I had gone down a cup
Half cup with a large size range
Comes in LOTS of colors.

Cons:

Wires are very long (and the reason it made its way into my reject bin)
Bit hard to work into daily wear
Straps felt very stretchy
Wide gore

I bought this off Ebay, mostly because it was a great deal, and I can't resist a great deal. Especially when the 'properly fitted bra community' is obsessed with it. Plus it seemed cute, in a garis...

I love this bra! I own it in 32F(UK), and it fits beautifully. When measured loosely, my ribcage is 31 inches, and I wear this bra comfortably on the loosest hook. This bra perfectly contours my natural shape. It has seams but they are not terribly pronounced.

Pros:
Incredibly comfortable - does not rub anywhere
Perfect round uplifted shape
Thin straps
Fully adjustable
Good construction

Cons:
Only thing I wish is that it came in beige or white

I absolutely adore how this bra looks, but I need a larger size. It's great for shallow breasts, and gives me a wonderfully round shape. Unfortunately, since it's too small, the wires dig in horribly. The last time I wore it, it left blisters that took days to disappear https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> The straps rub like crazy as well https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I absolutely love this bra, but it doesn't fit well anymore. It's very pretty and very comfortable... if it fits.

Pros:
So cute! And not tacky or childish feeling!
Well made and very comfortable when it fits
Good shape
Invisible underneath clothing
Great for shallow
Available for cheapo on ebay
Thin straps and only two hooks

Cons:
Straps are NOT fully adjustable.
Only goes up to DDD/F
Straps are rather wide set

I like this bra for the shape and fit, but I really dislike the print. Freya halfcups are pretty much the best fitting style for me.

Pros:

Fully adjustable straps
Good shape from the side and the front
Comfortable
Good for shallow/wide breasts

Cons:

Thick straps
The print
High center gore

I love how this bra looks and feels. The microfiber is so smooth and soft, it has no padding but it's thick enough to cover nipples, and it looks wonderful underneath t-shirts. However, this bra just isn't suited to my shape. It's too closed at the top and too deep at the bottom. I have the same problem with every wacoal bra I try https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
