Review on Ciao Bella: Elevate Your Lingerie Game With B.Tempt'D By Wacoal'S Balconette Bra by Brian Hood

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!
