I am 5' tall, not pregnant typically around 93-95 pounds (now probably about 95-98 pounds post partum) and I plan to use this bra even after nursing is done because I LOVE it. I have never owned a bra that supported & fit my smaller frame well enough to give "cleavage" but this one actually does it! I have it in this red color and also in a nude (beige) and plan to order a black one as well.The triangular tops of the cups do come up a big higher than I typically prefer, but that's standard for nursing bras and they are much lower than other nursing bras I've tried before (the top meets the strap about an inch, inch and a half below the tops of my shoulders). The lacy band is supportive, the soft cups conceal any reaction to colder temperatures, and the way that the cups are designed/where they sit along the band actually provides pretty good support from the bottom and sides of the bra. I am a 32B/30C and this is the first bra I've ever owned that doesn't feel like the cups are way too far out from center to provide good support (purchased 32B, based on seller's sizing guide).Washing-wise, I washed the first bra I purchased (the nude/beige) in a laundry bag and then dried it in that same laundry bag and it did pill like some other reviewers noted. So then the second bra (cerise) I washed with the cups folded against each other, lace side IN, inside a bra-specific laundry bag that didn't have room for it to jostle around, and then hung it to dry - after washing it now at least 10 times it still looks brand-new so this is how I recommend washing. (I washed both bras otherwise the same way I wash pretty much everything - on warm, regular cycle/nothing special).I’m usually a 36B. I’m 24 weeks pregnant and I ordered a 38C because I know the girls are gonna grow once baby comes and they advised sizing up. Maybe it’s the different colors? Not sure. The band is very stretchy. I tried it on and I’m at the smallest hooks on the band. You should be at the largest hooks when purchasing a new bra. I’d be okay in the middle since I know my size will fluctuate. For this reason I’m going to return for a 36C and see where it hits me. Overall, cute! Bands do make some noise as seen in other reviews.To start with, this bra has been difficult to fit to me - I am currently a 32DD and while I sized up to a 36DD per other reviews, the band fit well, but the cups are don't really fit. I would consider trying to find a better fitting size, but this is the loudest bra I've worn. Every shift of my torso produces a squeak. Which is not only annoying, but coworkers and strangers give me weird glances.This is comfortable to an extent, but when my boobs are fuller it is very uncomfortable and actually does not seem to really keep them secure. I have had better success with other brands.I bought this bra a while ago, and at first, I loved it! It’s soft and comfortable. It has just enough lace detail to make me feel sexy. Cool, right? Well… after wearing this bra for a while, what I thought was just a fluke at first turns out to be a major design flaw. Maybe it’s just my girls, but I’m not sure for whose boobs this thing was made. If nipples were eyes, mine look straight forward. This bra is made to look out on both sides. I started to notice that when I would put a breast away after nursing, I was having to heave-ho the bra over the breast because it wanted to be under my armpit instead of over my nipple. It would stay in place for a little bit but eventually wonder out. I can’t tell you how many times I have had to tuck my nipples back into my bra because both of my boobs were slowly sneaking out the middle. It’s almost as if it would be better with a safety pin in the middle. Now, before you say it, the bra cup itself fits me perfectly. I ordered the size according to others recommendations. The band isn’t too tight because I ordered up, and the cups cover nicely. At least they do when they are getting along. It’s as if they’ve had a fight and no longer wish to be in the same room and are just going opposite directions. Like I’ve stated before, I don’t know what woman has a five inch gap between her girls. If you do though, BOY! Have I got a bra for you!I agree with other saying to size up! The band is small, but does have a little give. Besides that it is good quality and very comfortable, I will be buying more now that I am familiar with the sizing.Doesn’t hold up throughout the day, interior liner piece stretched out and showed on the sides of the lace. Cups aren’t deep so they spread out unflatteringly to the sides of armpit and the girls spill out the center. But, it’s a cheap bra and you can’t expect miracles in bra performance when you don’t pay for them.I ordered a size up per the recommendation and both the band and cups were still much too small. Needed to go up even more in size. Curious why the bras can’t be accurately labeled with correct size to begin with?This is a really good nursing bra, especially for the price. It's easy to unclip the cups for when you're feeding. Also, the cups cover a good amount of the breast making it easier to put absorbant pads in there. I used this bra during pregnancy as well, and it was not so good for that, mostly because of the decorative lace that comes down your ribs is not comfortable with a large bump. I needed a back extender during pregnancy even though I bought a bigger size, but now I'm nursing I don't need it as it fits fine. Going to get a second one of these bras as I think it's very comfortable.The cup is not deep enough to keep the girls in, don’t sleep with it unless you want to clean and wash the entire bed! And it has bobbles already after first wash! I am actually quite disappointed as they look great and different from your standard nursing bra ?Looks very pretty, makes my boobs look good and supports them well AND an excellent nursing bra. I wish I'd found these earlier, as have been using rubbish H&M ones for way too long.I wanted a nursing bra that wasn't frumpy, and this is perfect! Lovely lace material that is comfortable to wear, and it looks lovely on. I haven't found anything close to this in style. Would really recommend. I went for the band and cup size up from my usual size, and it fits perfectly.38D, true to size, maybe slightly on the smaller side, since I've been wearing 36D of some other models. Looks really nice and sexy (yes, mamas deserve that too!!!) And it has a good cut to go with v-neck tops! Will get more colours :)
