b.tempt'dWomen's Ciao Bella Balconette Bra

I love this bra! It is much prettier than it looked online and so flattering on me, which is extremely unusual. I've been on a personal mission to find a bra that fits for the past two months. I have some unusual size/shape challenges, apparently, and pretty much nothing has worked. I'm dealing with wide-set, average to wide short roots, upper deflation with some lower projection, very soft. I think this bra is actually the best fit I have found, so far. YAY!!!The cups of this bra seem to be somewhat uniquely shaped and it works well for me (but I can see why it wouldn't work for everyone.) I generally fit more like a 28DD/30D, but in this particular bra, the 30DD is where it's at. It's slightly big, as I have a tiny bit of gaping at the top edge of the cup, but it's honestly quite minimal and the lace trim helps hide it. Still looks beautiful and makes me feel good. I want to say the cups run somewhat small, except they are kind of stretchy and I think that it would actually fit true to size if it is the right shape for you. It is not quite as shallow as I thought from the pictures. It actually gives me more forward projection than I expected and a nice lifted, rounded shape. The wings are tall enough to give me the side support I need and the lightly padded cups provide shaping without being too rigid. The band feels true to size. The thin double straps are pretty and feel ok on me, but I can see how they might not be comfortable for people with heavier breasts. (I don't know if they are wider on larger sizes). They don't have any stretch so they do dig in to my shoulders a little. They also are unusually short. While they fit my 5'1 frame, I have to make them almost as long as they can go. The gore is on the wider side (around 1 inch width), so it's going to better fit people with some space between their boobs.It is worth noting that the 30D, which I also tried, seems like almost a different bra. Something about it seems disproportionate to me. I need short cups, but those were way too short. The cups were definitely too small and gave me serious quad boob, so while I think the DD was true to size, I think the D runs small. Which is odd. The wings weren't high enough. If I had tried the 30D first, I never would have tried a different size, because it really was that different and I didn't like it at all, even before I put it on. In contrast, I fell in love with the 30DD as soon as I opened the package!I would recommend checking out the measurements for this bra, on the bratabase website, before choosing a size.

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!

The style, pattern, and design are all really cute! The bra fits as expected, but it isn’t the highest quality. The bra won’t offer much support, but it does have enough lift! So far, it has looked cute with any top i’ve tried it on with. For the money, it’s a good buy!

I always appreciate brands that come in smaller band sizes. This b.tempt'd one is a beautiful color and a good fit.

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.

Fits her beautifully, very sexy

Ya tenía un modelo anterior y por eso pedí este nuevo, esta perfecto y me gusto mucho

I measure as a 28E/F but find a 28 band quite uncomfortable so ordered a 30E. Fits beautifully, fabric is soft and I love the silver detail running through it.

Great bra- I have it in many colours.

bueno y bontio pero un poco pequeño de lo esperado
