I bought this bra as an alternative nursing bra. Although not designed as a nursing bra, the straps are easy to slide off for nursing whilst still providing support. The band underneath is very supportive and, unlike nursing bras I have, doesn’t dig in and is very comfortable. The bra is very pretty and super comfortable; I just wish the other colours were in stock in my size. Hopefully soon.

My Zara bralette is a firm favourite! It's so soft and comfortable to wear, and I've styled it under dresses on several occasions (like layering it with a plunge-neck dress to allow the pretty lace 'V' of the bralette to show through). It's also nice for when you want a bit of gentle support at home as well. Sizing tip: like many others have mentioned, I would recommend going a cup size bigger than your usual cup size, particularly if you fall on the larger half of the dual-sizes this bralette comes in. For example, I'm a 28G which should put me in the dual-size band 28FF/G. However I always buy this style in a 28GG/H which fits perfectly.

I was excited to try this style having read about it in one of the Bravissimo email updates. I wear a 38G normally so went for the 38FF/G. It arrived and I was bitterly disappointed. The back came up larger than normal but the cups - well they flattened and squashed me like a cheap sports bra/crop top!
I arranged for the next cup size up to be sent out, via telephone customer service who were very helpful. Excited to receive the 38GG/H, I quickly tried it on only to question whether I’d been sent the same size as before. No, it was the right size but still there’s no space for my boobs!
This bra has great potential and feels like, once the cup size is sorted, it’ll be really comfortable to wear. Maybe third time will be a charm?
Tip - order up and maybe a couple of options to try & return what doesn’t fit. Or better still, go in store to try on!

Review by Moira on
I was really excited to find bralettes for larger chest sizes, finally some comfy support without having to wear a wired bra, but I was a bit disappointed.
Because there's no wires all the support has to come from the shoulder straps, which are quite delicate and unfortunately fold up and dig in quite a lot. My shoulders are sore with red marks from the straps digging in.
I feel if the straps were more supported so they didn't fold up, maybe even with a small, subtle foam pad build in the top of the strap, it would be a lot comfier!
It is much the same story with the strap around the ribs, it's very soft and delicate material, so immediately folds over/rolls up and then digs in. The delicate fabric is lovely, but it seems more structural support to keep it in place.
From the reviews the fit seemed to be small so as I was in-between sizes I ordered the larger one. The fit is still tight and squishes everything together a bit, which can be quite sweaty and sticky feeling.
It's a very pretty bralette and I had high hopes for it, but sadly doesn't quite work
Fab non wired for big boobs4 out of 5 stars

Review by Rosemary K on
I'd nearly given up on finding a non wired bra for my size (36HH) But this is great. Only down side is my boobs are so heavy and there are already dents in my shoulders from years of wearing bras that these straps need more structure or padding. I'll have to reinforce then with something I think. Currently wearing tissues under them. But it's better than being stabbed...
It supports well, it could just be a tad comfier! I would still recommend it.
Best bralette I've had5 out of 5 stars

Review by Celia on
I never used to like bralettes because they would never fit both my big boobs and small frame but this fits perfectly and it the most comfortable bra I own. I got both the black and lavender colors and I don't wear regular bras anymore because these support me enough that I don't need underwires! I'm even debating getting a third!
At long last, I can wear a Bralette4 out of 5 stars

Review by Samantha on
Absolutely the most comfortable item of underwear I’ve ever worn!! I bought this for those days where my shoulders and back need a little rest from the ‘heavy duty’ bras I usually have to wear. Almost, a ‘lounge bra’ if you like.
Only thing that would make it better would be if there was something such as a sticky backing to hold the lace detail of the bottom of the bralette in place. It rides up a little, but even so, I can’t feel it and it isn’t uncomfortable, just would like to see this beautiful bralette’s details in all in all its glory!
Amazing bralette!5 out of 5 stars

Review by Sarah on
I have finally found a comfortable and supportive bralette! I don’t like wearing underwires for everyday wear so this is perfect. I don’t have a uniboob! No spillage over the top and the longer length band is very flattering. I’ve ordered another in the new yellow colour and will keep checking back for when the other colours are back in stock.
