In a recent HerRoom order, I tried three 38G Claudette bras: Sophia Minx, En Dentelle, and Cool Cotton . Unfortunately did not find a good fit with those three, mostly because I ordered the wrong size. Of the three styles I tried, the Sophia was the best fit, despite the cups being two sizes too […]

Review: Freya Gem Half Cup AA1363
I was reviewing my bra shopping notes, and discovered I forgot to mention the Freya Gem Half Cup. I found the Gem at Dillard’s – so I was unable to try the FF cup (which is generally my Freya size), so I tried the Gem in a 38 E, F, G. The Gem is very […]
Review: Panache Sophie 5821
No, I’m not pregnant – I’m just desperate for a comfortable bra whose wires don’t poke my ribs, armpits, or rest on my breast tissue. The Sophie is a very pretty, minimal coverage soft cup bra. When I say “minimal coverage”, check the photo below where I compare it to the Elila Molded Soft Cup […]
Review: Chantelle C Chic 3 Part Plunge 3641
The C Chic is a breakthrough bra, of sorts, for me. Though the sizing was wrong, and the cups too round (translation = narrow) – it proved that 3 part plunge bras are probably my best hope for a good fit. A big bonus – the C Chic is available in five colors, and it […]
Review: Freya Moulded Deco Plunge AA4234
I must admit a soft spot for the Freya Deco. It was my first wired bra (that I wore for more than an hour). I’ve owned and worn the Deco in a 38F and 36FF. The 38F was my first wired bra in my “correct” size, and the 36FF was my first bra after I’d […]
Review: Fantasie Rebecca FL2024
I’m afraid this is going to be one of those “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” reviews. I have tried the Rebecca in a 36FF and 36F (with a band extender – more on that later). The Rebecca is a spacer foam fabric moulded cup bra. If you haven’t tried a spacer fabric […]
Review: Enell Sport 100
My newest sports bra is an Enell Sport 100. My previous sports bra was a Freya Firm Control Wire-Free Spacer Sports Bra with Racerback. While it was a definite improvement on wearing a “regular” bra to for workouts, the Freya was uncomfortable for me because the racerback styling pulled across my shoulder muscle and cut […]
Review: Cleo by Panache Juna 6461
I’ve been hanging on to this review for a few weeks, because I’ve been wearing the Juna and interpreting the fit. After much consideration, observation, and general juggling of my breasts I arrived at the conclusion I need vertical seams because they are a version of “shallow” breasts (more on that in another post). The […]
