PrimaDonna Women's Wide Full Cup Bra - Comfortable Support for Large Busts - Perfect for Everyday Wear & Special Occasions

I should start out saying, I have been looking at this bra for several years on Herroom.com and they said this is a deep cup. So I went to Prima Donna's site and found they had a fitting section where you put in your current bra and size, then they tell you what your Prima Donna bra size would be. I wear a 32F UK, 32G US, and a 32F Prima Donna. I chose to purchase from Amazon over another company for a few reasons, time for shipping, ease of returns should it not fit or be comfortable.My husband bought me the Deauville upon my request for Valentine's day in Winter Grey. I loved it so much, a week or so later, I bought the Black.Winter Grey: I fell in love with the fit and feel, the only thing I did not like was that the straps sat on the edge of my shoulders and over time (towards the end of the day) irritated them. I solved this problem, which I have in almost every bra, by buying a bra strap holder to pulled the straps in by an inch or so. The padding around the under wire made it feel as if I wasn't wearing an under wired bra at all. The bottom band, which is where I usually have issues, started out tight, but soon relaxed to where the whole side was working as one. Most bras, the bottom band digs in and holds all the pressure of my breasts making it hurt within hours. If I go up a band size, in those bras, my shoulders end up holding most of the weight. This was a beautiful balance of hold throughout the band and back, to where the straps weren't really needed till the end of the day. The cups moved with my breasts, never gapping as I moved, shifted or reached for things. As a petite, I often have issues with the under wire being to tall on the sides, I was pleasantly surprised this one stopped at just the right height without leaving side of breasts falling out. This is also the only bra I've had in the last several years that didn't cut into my armpit for the straps to hold, the elastic there also helped to make a form fit without it being tight.Black: I was so very excited to receive another bra that would finally be comfortable, to great disappointment. The band was over an inch smaller than the Winter Grey that I had only worn a few times. It was very tight and did not have the stretch in band or back the other did, making it put pressure on my ribcage uncomfortably. The straps although not rough weren't as soft and comfortable as my first. The under wire was all bent out of shape, I can only assume this was from mailing it, and I couldn't get it straightened out enough for a comfortable fit. Which this problem may lead to why the cup gapped as I moved, shifted and reached, but I don't personally think so. I think the elastic at the top of the cup was not right because the fit was much different from the Winter Grey.Overall, I can't tell you if one was a knock off or if both were genuine Prima Donna bras, but the Winter Grey had a nice fabric tag on the bra and the Blacks tag was probably polyester, which rubbed, itched and irritated my back. The same can be said about the tags marking the bras, the Winter Grey came with card, the Black a sewn on tag. I was told that Prima Donna bras have an embroidery logo on their bras, the Black had one, the Winter Grey did not. I love and am keeping the Winter Grey, while the Black is going back.Been wearing this style for the past few years. Good support, comfortable & very pretty. Hold up well. I wash on delicate & hang dry. Last quite a few yearsFull coverage and lots of support even for cup size “I”.Every woman is different and I have always been difficult to fit. I am petite with a full bust. For years I would run home after work to u do the bra clasps. Although I went to stores that were renown for their fitters, and purchased many different brands, they always hurt after hours of wear. The underwire, the stays - I was never happy.I finally found a bra that wotks for me. Not only is it comfortable, but beautiful! I feel like a million bucks and easily wear it all day, into the night. I am happy!Most women will not spend over $ 100.00 on a bra. I will tell you this is the BEST BRA EVER!!I actually was fitted in a store when I bought my first. Now that I know my real size I can shop with confidence.The bra fits nice and wears well. It’s a bit expensive but worth it due to durability. Plus it’s pretty!Prima donna Deauville full cup bra fits as comfortable as it is beautiful I love it.I have purchased every brand of bra imaginable in my 75+ years and was never really happy with the way they fit. I've tried padded contours, natural cups and under-wire bras, which is my preferred style. This past summer a neighbor recommended the Prima Donna Brand and warned me that it was going to be expensive but with proper care, they would last a long long time (proper care being hand-washing with a mild detergent and line drying). She says she's been wearing the same 4 Prima Donna Bras for more than 3 years. I purchased 2 of the Prima Donna Deauville Full Cup Underwire Bras and have been very satisfied with the fit, design and quality. It took a little getting used to the European sizing chart but the fit is perfect. One of the ways I learned to keep the bras lasting a long time is to alternate bras daily, airing them out between wearings and also to never spray perfume or cologne directly on the bra fabric because it weakens it, especially the lace and elastic. I recommend them especially to those who have had less than happy results with their current bras.I never write product reviews (or, for that matter, spend nearly £80 on a bra!) but I'd heard and read such great things about this one, I thought I'd see what all the fuss is about. At a 36G, it's really difficult to find bras that fit well, look pretty, give me a good shape, don't give me lumps or bumps under my clothes, and stay put all day without the straps digging in or back riding up. My usual Bravissimo bras have been okay but if they're pretty they're not terribly comfortable, and if they're comfortable they're not terribly pretty. Happy to report that the Primadonna Deauville is worth the money and has earned all the hype - comfortable, supportive, and beautiful looking, there's no going back for me now!The order sent by Amazon to the supplier was incorrect, I ordered a 34E but received a a 34F. When I spoke to the supplier they told me that it was likely I needed a 32E as the sizes were different with this brand. Unfortunately, despite paying postage to return, rather than use the Freepost option, to get a faster turn around as I needed it quickly, it was sent back by 2nd class which meant I didn’t have it on time. That was very disappointing. Nevertheless, it’s a great bra!I have to admit, this bra, actually fits better and it's more true to size than the ones I've tried in store. I was sceptical at first to order a bra on line but the review convinced me and so I ordered two (white and black) and I don't regret I did. The only thing I found different with the bra, once it arrived, was that the strap was not as it shows int he picture. The flowery design it's placed right between the boundaries of the strap and does not show the edge outside of it. But, due to the rest of it being so perfect, I over looked that fact. I will order this bra again and I'd encourage other women to do it (specially women looking for good support in a bra). After searching for a good bra for sometimes, I am hoping I found what I was looking for.I've worn these bras for over a decade and they are the only brand I buy. They appear expensive but they fit like a dream and wear well every day. I have several now, and usually buy one or two each year (Christmas and birthday etc) so I can ditch the older ones, which incidentally if hand washed and properly looked after will last a good couple of years. I wear mine every day - they should not be kept for best and once you own and wear one, you will not go back to cheaper brands!! Best get properly fitted at a boutique lingerie shop who stock Prima Donna for your first purchase then you can buy online.I had breast cancer surgery 20 years ago and lost about 1/4 of my right breast. Until I discovered the Deauville bra 12 years ago, I couldn’t find a bra that fitted me properly and I felt self conscious about lack of support and looking lopsided. I need a 38F to accommodate my larger breast but the support and fitting of the Deauville bra disguises the fact that both sides don’t match and I’m now able to wear more fitted clothes. These bras are expensive but are worth every penny for the comfort and confidence they provide.
