Cleo by Panache Lucy Balconnet Bra vs Curvy Kate Wonderfull

Original review: I was very happy to find this bra for under $20 in my size. It's a very cute demi with no padding that provides really great support, good separation, and pretty cleavage. (The cups do not cover as much on me as they do on the model in the photo.) It also does a great job controlling the top of my breasts (i

When I put on my shirt it wasn't at all flattering. The thin nylon fabric just didn't offer adequate support. Walking, just walking around the house sent everything bouncing around! Also, right away I could tell that if I wore it for any length of time the straps would begin cutting into my shoulders. Leading to my neck and shoulders being in pain, from carrying the weight of my breasts

This bra fit well enough with just a bit of quad-boobing (it would be better-suited for breasts with bottom fullness and I am more even in shape). Overall, the material is nice and it is well-constructed, but I dislike the seam placement (sits below the nipple line and is visible through any lightweight shirt). The shoulder straps are also a bit wide for me, even though I have always considered myself to have slightly broad shoulders. It might be a bit more comfortable if it had a full band; as you can see from the photographs, the underwire sits below the level of the band

My journey to find a comfortable bra at a size 38F has been annoying to say the least. But FINALLY!! I don't know why companies haven't thought of it before, but there are little foam pieces at the ends of the wire so they don't dig in you! I mean..

I also really love the silhouette and shape that the Lucy gives. For starters it's very forward. A lot of times when you're fuller busted, bras tend t...

Based on the brastop recommendation, I sized up a cup in the Curvy Kate WonderFull to a 32J. Photos are available here:

Now, the underwires on the side are still slightly wide for me. I really need a little bit further in. However, that's not necessarily a problem, prov...

Was surprised at how comfy and well engineered this bra was! I'm a bigger bust at GG/H, but with this bra on I often forgot I was wearing it, they hid the wire very well with the comfy material much more comfortable could feel but it did not cut against ribs uncomfortably like my other brand bras. My other wired bra is mesh lace it is very scratchy. But this mesh is gorgeously soft
