Cheetah four way convertible bra - bra discontinued by Baci - review by nanamondoute

Product Information

Size: 32C
Material: 90% polyester, 10% spandex
Care Instructions: Hand wash warm. Do not bleach. Wash colors separately. Line dry. (I've thrown this bra into the wash and dryer and they came out perfectly. If you want it to last longer, follow the recommended directions).
Description: A lightly-padded cheetah-print convertible bra. The top of the bra cups feature satin bands. It has adjustable straps, hook and eye closures, and an underwire. The bra does not feature silicone-like sticky lines on the back of the bra, so I would not recommend wearing this strapless. The adjustable bra allow you to crisscross the straps in the back, use only one strap as a halter, or come up with whatever strap combination you can think of. The adjustors on the straps are gold-colored. The sides of the bra (band) are a mesh cheetah-print.
Packaging: Box with picture of the model and plastic bag

Initial Impressions

The bra seemed like any other regular Baci bra. The color of the print is not as bright as pictued, but it still looked cute. The bow between the cups also weren't exactly in the center, but that wasn't an entire big deal. After trying on the other Baci bras, I didn't really expect too much out of this one. I expected it to be like all the others. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it was and how good it looked.

Fit

I was measured as a 32C in various shops and so I usually only buy 32C bras. This bra fit me perfectly -- my breasts felt supported and covered up enough when wearing. I think it should be fine to buy the actual size that you are.

Support

This bra provides a good support. Since the fit was so good, it made me feel good. It's not going to make your boobs look that much better, since it's not a push-up, but they will feel supported. I'm pretty sure even larger busted women will get the needed amount of support from this bra, simply because it fits just so well. Plus, it's soooooooo comfortable. Seriously. I cannot emphasize this enough. It's a lot more comfortable than my Aerie, Elle Macpherson, Calvin Klein, etc. bras. I cannot have high enough praise in this area.

Functionality

This bra will function well. It sits right next to your breasts, so it will not make imprints behind T-shirts or similar tight clothing. While this cannot be worn strapless, you can definitely wear this in a lot of different strap configurations to go with your outfits (halter tops, crisscross back, etc.). This bra will provide more than enough comfort and support for the entire day.

The only negative things I can say about this bra is that the cheetah print is slightly too dark for my liking. It's lighter or darker depending on the angle you are looking at it, because the design is a mesh covering over the black padding. However, this won't be a great bra to wear behind something sheer for everyday outside wear because it'll just look like you wore a black bra underneath (and when you wear something sheer, you want to show off your bra.

Another thing is that there are a few loose threads. But they don't bother me too much since I can just cut them off/out.

I'm just amazed at how the cups are retaining their shape so, so, so well. I've thrown this bra into the washer and dryer multiple times already (because I love wearing this on a normal basis, since it's so comfortable) and it still looks like new. This is seriously a hardy piece of undergarment.

Conclusion

I cannot have high enough praise for this bra. Definitely get this if you need a new everyday bra. Seriously, at $23 dollars, this bra is almost a steal. I do have to reiterate that this bra has quite thin padding. But if you're fine with that, this is a great purchase for comfort.

LOVE this bra! I'm a size 32C. Look at how well it sits under my breasts. That's how a good fitting bra should be.
