Calida Etude Pinstriped Bra - Underwire (For Women)

I own this "make" with a different set of fabrics and like it. I like this one more except the band is shy. I can still fasten but not on my usual Calida size's notch.

I have been purchasing exclusively Calida undergarments from Sierra Trading Post for over ten years. The prices are unbeatable. I have never been disappointed with a single garment I have purchased. This beautiful brassiere is no exception. It is well designed, with excellent support, feminine and lovely. It is incredibly comfortable. I bought three brassieres in 'rose pink', my favorite color. I was so delighted with the first purchase, that I checked the website to order a second one, but oddly enough, my size and color were out of stock. Then it became available again, so I purchased a second brassiere. The same thing happened a third time. This is why, I check the website frequently because with the different sale and shipping offers, sometimes a certain item will be out of stock and then suddenly reappear. As with all Calida products, there are exquisite details, such as the lace trimming. The pin stripes are very subtle, barely noticeable. It is a an exceedingly flattering brassiere. It is not overly padded, but provides just a little bit of 'lift' to be very figure enhancing. Highly recommended!

Neither pinstripes nor lace is really my thing, but this bra fits and flatters me so beautifully I bought another. (Note: the purple is darker than the picture, but gorgeous.) There's a reason I bought bras not to my styling preferences: If it existed, I would wear bra size 38AA. Luckily, I can mostly get away with 36A, but since the cup sizes the letters represent get bigger as the band size does, 38A often features cups that swim on my wee girls (with a super-comfy band, alas). Some Calida bras work--maybe it's the European sizing system--so here at STP, I try every one that looks workable. This bra WOOORKS.
