Sexy Housefrau Fit?

I'm a big fan of the Dutch brand Timpa's bras, for which these Wingsloves are clearly a knock off. Timpa is known for their notoriously small sizing (and great fit for sm-med chested women) requiring a whole size up in both band and cup (e.g. If you normally wear a 34B, you would choose a 36C, also with the Wingslove - so strict is their copy) The issue with Timpa is that it only caters to what is normally considered a 34B. I used to fit the last size of Timpa but since having a baby and post breastfeeding, my back size/cup got bigger and sadly didn't return to its former size.I saw that these filled in the need for larger sizes so was hoping they would work. And they do, but the straps and the cut are not quite the same fit and to my mind feel a bit matronly housefrau especially in light of how thick the straps are and how they tailored the under wire in comparison to my Timpa side by side and trying it on. They are ok at best, I kept mine as I needed a properly fitting bra for an occasion and didn't have time to reorder or go down to the store, but I won't go replacing my Timpa bras with this one going forward. I guess if I can't go back to my bra size, being able to have nicer bra choices (other than Wingslove) is a nice consolation prize.

Pros
  • Went by measurements on chart. Band was about an inch too small, really cut in.
Cons
  • The bra straps are too tight
