Bra fitting help » Ugly and Wire issues - keep anyways?


Fantasie » Jana Side Support Bra (2831) » 32J 32:13

Issue resolved

I tried it on again and still felt like I'll just never wear this bra. Its too ugly for me to want it just for fun, and it really does not hold me up any higher than my Decent Exposure bras. I hate to lose more on shipping AGAIN, but there's just no wear I'll wear this.

Back it goes.

Original problem

I first tried on this Jana at a local store and was surprised how comfy it was. But i had a store credit at Bare Necessities so I ordered it from them.

When I opened this bra, it had a strong smell - like febreeze? The wire on my bigger side seemed sort of wrong . . and i really wondered if it had been worn already and returned?

Overall this bra is very comfy, a bit sloppy fit, boring to look at, not too bad under a shirt.

The wires are definitely the biggest problem.

First of all, the wire on my big size will not tack at the gore. The smaller size squeezes in between my boobs and touches my chest, but on the bigger side, it bends up to give my bigger boob more room. Very thoughtful of you, gore wire, but thats really not your job. In fact, at first it was bending way in front of my boob, but I bent it back and its close to where it should be.

The other issue is that the wires are CRAZY wide. I mean, look at those measurements. The cup is like 2 full inches wider than my other I-think-they-are-ok bras. The wire goes way past my boob, and even almost entirely past my arm pit! It doesnt poke, so its quite comfy, but obviously its not giving much support on the side. No scoop-and-swoop in this bra! Of course, I'm sure thats part of why I get no quad-boobing. . . my boob just leaks out comfortably in to my arm pit.

Those side support panels? Its funny, I'd tried their Lois side support and it gave me awful dents. These dont - mostly because my boobs arent even in them? lol

So here's the thing - I am tired of sending things back and forth with Bare Necessities. At this point I've used up my credits and this bra seems like I could wear it and not hate it . . . so I'm probably keeping it.

But I'd still love to hear some feedback and what you all think about this fit . . .
