This one was a miss for me, I need an extender as the band is TINY and tight enough if I don’t use the extender I’m warping the wires, and bulging out in all sorts of places. First and foremost I say sister size up if your going to buy this bra.
So the rest of this review is WITH an extender. I’m not sure why but the wires, gore side, hurt. They dig in so bad, and while I suspect I would benifit from touching or even overlapping wires, I haven’t had this problem this badly before. When I first put this on and do a ... proper scoop I quad ever so slightly and get some minimal outer side emptiness in the cups, but once I move around my breasts settle in filling the empty area and quading goes away, so not perfect shape wise but my breast is squishy enough to settle in. Straps are good for me, comfort is great other than painful gore (not uncomfortable, PAINFUL it leaves bruises if worn for 12 hours).

Edit/update* while trying to find reasons for fit issues with another bra I ran into a few blogs/forum post about scooping from center, didn’t really think I had the target boobs for this advice was me but decided couldn’t hurt to try, it worked! Wore this bra Saturday all day it caused no pain, and the slight emptiness I had was gone.

This was a $4 bra bought “used” with tag still on it, is a full size above “normal” for me, based on other reviews of wacoal and B.tempt’d I gave it a shot since my impression was cups AND band run small. A quick trial in fitting room I thought it fit, standing up straight and trying to hurry. Now I’m actually wearing (about an hour in as I’m writing) the cups are too large but Not in my opinion a full size too big, part of it is my shape versus bra shape I think. I’m full and round on the bottom, on top top is short ... and flat. Balconette style Demi bras “fit” best on my breast, but so far I hate them they don’t cover enough boob.
The band fits on the tightest hook, which means a 30 should fit me on loosest hook, which is likely what I will do when I order wacoal because of everyone who says the band stretches out fast. Oh my god this band is comfortable and what underwire? Because I can’t even feel it. My straps are not original to this bra, they suck and are crazy long.
Shape looks weird looking down, not quite sure why/how, looks fine in mirror though. Wide set straps in front are probably going to end up annoying me.
UPDATE; the wires dig in at front on me, wide set straps are fine though.

Cups are slightly thinner than I prefer. Underwire digs slightly in the middle where I’m all bone, fit better when I first got it, but now I’m slightly smaller, not enough to go down a cup though. 32C would probably fit more comfortably but I like my bra nice and tight.

I made this drafting my own pattern, it’s a work in progress.... This is attempt two of original pattern, first try was a complete failure due to sewing with to many distractions, all and all it’s an acceptable draft/base line.
The good: it’s comfortable, amazingly so. The left cup fit is great other than top edging/trim. The band, gore wires all feel good. Straps spaced nicely in back. Wide band and high wings! I want my bra to feel like a warm hug, this has potential.
The bad: I put the hooks/eyes opposite of normal, so I can’t hook it behind my back, or unhook one handed, the cups ... are uneven (barely), made more obvious by the smaller cup being on the bigger breast, also because my breast are crooked. Straps to far apart in front. Cup seam should hit center, it is to low, on redrafted cups pattern bottom is taller, hopefully that fixes it.
The weird: The center comes up further than the wires, still tacks, still comfortable, wires end about 1.5cm down. The band is sloped up in back, as if the bra was to loose but it’s not to loose, it’s a design issue.

This bra's measurements have been altered

Altered band, Altered straps, I made it

Highly wanted this bra to fit, it’s so girly and princessy! It’s a total miss for me, I like where my breast are positioned in the cups BUT, it’s gapping EVERYWHERE as if the cups where WAY larger than I need, I’m fairly certain this is in part due to having 0 outer fullness. Cups are also very low, as in the edge of my nipple (Areola) peeks out, and if I pinch the fabric where outer gaping is, thus also making cup volume less, and rescoop my nipples are out of cups. I could see this being a wonderful fit for someone FOB and more even fullness left to right. Would also recommend sister sizing down for better band fit.

This was supposed to be a 30DD, but somehow (in hurry while sleep deprived) I managed to order wrong, that said......
Pros; it’s comfortable! and “fits” as in the gore tacks (Im not sure I’ve ever had one not) and I fill the cups (other than a tiny bit one side on top) it looks good under shirts I wear it with.
Cons; across the top insides of cups (from strap to gore) digs slightly, wires are tooo wide for me, overall quality seems cheaper than I thought it would.
Update: this fits better since gaining a bit of size, cups are still a bit wide but is currently my go-to bra, quality must be better than I initially thought because it still looks new.

Band is to big for me, but it’s comfortable and has a pretty band. Cups are a good fit.

I bought this bra knowing before I tried it on that it was going to be to big, I’m a 30D sometimes C, but it was only $4 at Marshalls and in theory the correct cups. So I tried it on quickly and seemed like cups fit, it’s the perfect tester before spending $30-40+ For one from Aerie. I’m happy with fit/comfort other than band issue. I have just been wearing it with a shelf bra camisole to keep it from moving around. I get to decide if it holds up well enough to buy or if I continue to buy S,M,L sized and or 34b clearance bras that I sew the band tighter in. So far it’s holding up well.

I haven’t measured this yet (bad me I know), so any opinion on size is based of look and feel so could be wrong.....
First thoughts seeing bra was that it’s too big in the cups for sure. tried on and holy $#it it fits! I have boobs!, This bra is my ego boost bra now, it doesn’t make me look bigger breasted or give nice Busty cleavage but so I dunno why but I feel good in it......
Onto important stuff, cups/wires seem wide, and straps too. Cups curve out slowly from wire, so no depth on outer/bottom sides really, inside edge has the most space from Wire, and ... I’d say it’s about average based on bras I have. The top fits well other than small gap in both cups in center, goes away if I put straps further out on edge of my shoulders, wearable solution could move strap placement on bra. Shape seems like it still wouldn’t dig even if fuller on top. The band is tight, to tight really, but sizing up changes proportions in some bras so not gonna re-order, I just plan on buying more extenders! (Especially since I’m contemplating several 28DDs for their cup/gore measurements)

Gore trends to be uncomfortable for me by the end of the day it is a shorter gore (which are generally hard for me find that I like) and ever so slightly shifts around throughout the day, I’ve had issues with the cups (inter like cleavage area) flaring out and have had to pull the outer fabric away from lining and toward the edge to fix it (think fixing a pair of stockings) basically after every wash, at first this was a bit large but I have since gone up about half a size in both cup and band. The straps seem a bit short compared to other ... bras, but I consider myself low set and they are long enough for me. The cups are slightly wider (or maybe just farther apart) than I need them to be so while I initially fit very well in them as my breast settle outward I get a little gaping in the center, this is something that happens to a degree in every low in the center plunge-ish bra I have tried though, my soft tissue is like putty it forms to whatever space it is in as long as the firmer tissue allows it to.
