b.tempt'd Women's Ciao Bella Lightly Padded Balconette Underwire Bra, 953144

I love this bra! It is cute, a lovely color, and it fits perfectly. The band is true to size, but the cups run slightly small. I am sometimes an A cup, sometimes a B cup, but in this case the B cup fits perfectly without gaps! It is very comfortable and easy to wear all day. It gives good support and just a little lift thanks to the light padding which I like. Coverage is good and I have no problem wearing it around the house without a top. As I got this on sale for less than $17, it is a steal, and I should have ordered more! For reference, I am 5’10”, 165#, 42-32-39, 36B.

Pretty and fits my build really well ("wide base of breasts, deflated tissue ). In the past I have worn 34b sized bras, but found the underwire not quite wide enough at the outer edge, but a bigger cup size gapped too much over the top and the 34 band was not quite snug enough to not ride up. This style fits perfectly. The first time I put it on, I thought the band would be too small, but after a day it did not feel too tight, just good and supportive ans the elastic seems good quality. Initially, the underwires creaked really noisily and noticeably in their casings when the bra was stretched even a little, but that mostly went away after the first few days. Now, a couple of weeks later, I have to really stretch to hear hear a faint creak/rub. I love that the band and cups seem to hold everything just where it should without being totally dependent on the shoulder straps (but I don't think it would work strapless- and the straps don't come off anyway). My fit looks similar to the model in the current picture- no push-up, no cleavage, nothing to "see from the balcony". It's the fit I want and like. The bra has light padding, so body parts don't sow through, but the lace covering is a bit bumpy and the ridge from the seam that runs up the center of the cup shows a bit under an only slightly snug knit top, so that is a bit of an unfavorable trait, but I still give it 5 stars (and wear another bra with those shirts). I love the fit, I love the pretty lace, I love the cute double cord shoulder straps, and I think I'm going to order another in a different color!

This bra has great support with side boning and structure for larger cup/smaller band and does not ride up or dig into my shoulders. I especially like the straps that look like a camisole, not typical bra straps. Perfect for spaghetti strap tops/dresses when I’m not wanting to wear a strapless bra. I have them in multiple colors for that reason alone. The lace cup does show texture under slinky fabric and that’s about the only downside I can think of.

Backstory: Like some of the other reviewers, I have always struggled to find a bra that fits-- and by that I mean a bra that I am not constantly readjusting, tugging at, or altering after purchase. I was recently sized at Nordstrom and told that I am a 30D, not a 32A, which I have been purchasing my whole life thus far! I purchased the Calvin Klein Customized Lift bra right then and there. I like the Calvin Klein, but don't always like the extra padding... and I am wondering now if I should have gotten a 30C, because the wire sometimes feels like it extends back too far toward my armpit. Before buying another 30D, I decided to measure myself according to http://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits (if you've struggled with bras that don't fit, stop reading this NOW and follow the link!). According to the site, I am either a 28D or 30C. This was the first bra that I've bought in a 30C. Review: The bra itself is very comfortable. It has pretty little details like the center bow and the double straps, but most importantly, everything stays in place! For petite ladies like myself, it does not provide a lot of lift; but it also doesn't make me look any smaller than I am. It provides a natural, well-rounded shape. There is no additional padding, but the fabric is thick enough to provide complete coverage. I have only two small complaints about the bra. First, I wish that the straps could be shortened just a tad more. I am 5'1'', petite, and, like I said, a 30C; and the straps fit perfectly when they are tightened all the way. My concern is the inevitable stretching over time. I will probably alter the straps myself in a few months. The second complaint is that the bra is somewhat bumpy under thinner/tighter clothing. It's not a big deal to wear a cami under t-shirts, but I kinda wish I didn't NEED to.

Absolutely adore this bra it fits so well. I will say the lace gets a little old looking after a year.

I messure 33.5 below the bust and ordered the 36. It’s still tight. It’s also itchy and oddly audible for a bra. Something makes a plasticy sound when I bend. It’s cute but not very functional or comfortable. Cup size is good though.

This is a frequently recommended bra in the ABTF subreddit for shallow shapes. IMO it has wider shallower cup wires which sat comfortably. I wore it for several hours. The band doesn’t seem to have a lot of stretch or possibly runs a little small; although I was only trying on & not keeping & washing. The cup lace did not sit correctly for me with slight gapping & a pointy shape. I considered tacking the soft lace to the gore to eliminate the slight gap. It has a single vertical seam. Others suggested this seam might soften a little with washing. It did show through a T-shirt. O P I would have tried a 30c to address the cup gap, but the straps were a dealbreaker for me. The front straps are a double silky material with no stretch. They meet the slider near the top of the rear strap. I have taller roots so I had to keep them long, which put the slider right on my scapula & I suspect would irritate with movement. The straps have to be fairly tight however since the front strap length is essentially fixed. They are also tacked to the very edge of the cup in front. My shoulders are narrow & keeping these straps perfectly adjusted so they wouldn’t fall off, rub my shoulder blade, or twist with the double silk seemed pretty unlikely. I even considered buying a quality stretchy strap with a slider in a lower position & modifying the bra. I was disappointed as the wire fit was actually comfortable but the rest of the bra had too many fit issues to work without alteration. It doesn’t feel like a super cheap bra but I wouldn’t put it in a luxury category either. Other bras I have tried from the “shallow list” are Natori feathers, flora, cherry blossom, skarlet minx blue balconette. The quest continues.

Well made but runs small. Returned it.

perfect fitting bra

Farbe und Material sind gut, Verarbeitung ist top. Das untere Brustband ist etwas zu klein/eng. Eventuell eine Nummer größer nehmen.

Wow! Bought this bra after doing a fitting through r/abrathatfits and this was a recommended one for my size of 30C. It fits great on me!! For reference my boobs are wide set and full on bottom and the outer sides. I just have to do the scoop and swoop and they lay perfectly in the cups. The wire doesn't bother me at alllll. The band is just the right fit and I feel like it helps my posture. So happy this was my first bra purchase with my corrected bra size. :)

This is the prettiest, most feminine bra ever with the colour combo of cream and pale pink with lace. It did fit a bit on the smallish side however. Size up if ordering.

I chose this (30D) according to r/abrathatfits. Every component is borderline too small/tight. Biggest complaint is when the bra is worn under a light colored shirt, vertical seam lines become very noticeable (see image). The top lace part is itchy. Still a much better fit than bras I''ve purchased in store.
