What Myer has got to offer for 32ff?

Myer is one of leading Australian department stores (something like Debenhams in UK). I went to one of the stores (at Tea Trea Plaza) yesterday to check the lingerie department out. Myer sells quite few brands. Most of them are part of Bendon group (Elle Macpherson Intimates, Fayreform, Pleasure State, Lovable and Evollove). The others are Berlei, Triumph and Playtex.
I wasn't interest in any of brands except Evollove and Elle Macpherson Intimates. There wasn't single Elle bra in size that could fit me, something around 32g or 34ff.
Evollove is supposed to be a brand for bigger bust, all bras have tags saying "Sizes from D to G". It may look great but there are only cups  D, DD, E, F and G. Bands start at size 30, which is size 8 here. So size 32g is really 32ffUK.


First to try was my favourite, white Sweet Blush Contour Bra in 32(10)g:

You can buy this bra in black version too. It looked great on the hanger, but I don't like it on me at all. The cup cuts into bigger breast and bra is giving my boobs horrible flat and east-west look. The band wasn't smug, I would go down to 30.
I love the look of the bra, it is so girly and sweet, but even if size 30h would be available, it wouldn't work for me.


Next was another contour (padded) bra, beautiful and  elegant, blue (Algier Blue) Dawn In Eden in 32g:

 

It even hurts looking at it. It's smaller in the cups then Sweet blush and the band is tight. I was looking for size 34g - the cup could fit and band should be OK but bra wasn't available in this size. Maybe next time:)

 

 

 

Third bra I've tried, was  dark blue ( Evollove call it Astral Aura)  Lost Love in 34g:

 

 

 

 

This bra makes me fell like I'm wearing Fayreform again - awful east-west look, no support at all, very sad looking boobs. Band 34 was way too big (there wasn't 32g available in the store). Left cup isn't too small but is cutting in the top of the breast. Big NO.

 

 

 

Now. time for something red (called Infra Red) - Fallen Apple in 32g:

 

 

 

 

 



The cups were too small so I got 34g:

 

 

 

 

This bra was probably the best fit but the band was too big and cups (being on bigger side) were still cutting in - it is strange because my boobs are quite bottom heavy. Better support then in Lost Love but the sad look is still there.

 

 

 

All of Evollove bras have few things in common. The straps are really short,I had to make them the longest as possible and it wasn't still comfortable. I'm sure someone shorter wouldn't have this problem but if you are over 175cm, the straps could be too short. Bras are really tight on the top, can cut into breasts, I can imagine it wouldn't be good for someone with breasts full on the top.

All of the bras have very poetic and romantic names and prices are around $50-$60 AUD, which makes them  $20 cheaper then Freya/Panache.

Bras are quite pretty and look great on the hangers, but maybe I'm too spoiled with Polish and British bras and don't like the look of myself in them. The construction of especially,unpadded bras isn't good at all. This is me in Fallen Apple and too big in the cup Chloe:

At the end I've tried something from Fayreform! Profile Perfect in 32f, I don't know why I even bothered, this bra isn't attractive:

 

 

Very bad fit, the band is too loose, cup aren't too small but are squashing me, the centre gore is far away from the chest. It looks like old Berlei T-Shirts bras I used to wear in size 34e.

 

 I would like to go to Myer again to get fitted (just for the sake of this blog) - I couldn't do it this time because I had company of two little boys:) I had one offer of fitting but it was after I've tried all bras and we very just too tired and bored:) I've told the girl none of the bras fitted and I need something with bigger cup but band has to be 30 or 32. She told me she wears band size 34 or sometimes 36 (she was very slim)...yes, I don't think she had any clue about bra-fitting at all.

 

I'm glad I've tried Evollove, I can go back to my  bras now - it was relief to put nicely fitted Fauve Emanuelle in 30gg back on:)
