Review: Parade bralettes

Nutshell: not enough cup capacity if you're above an E or mayyyyybe an F. Certainly not if you're full-on-top.

I tried 3 styles, though I'm only including pics for two, because the 3rd literally did not cover enough of my boobs to make a pic I could comfortable post. 

The first is a V-neck pullover style; no hooks. A fun dity floral print

                               Wow, is it ever snug and flattening 


In this angle you can see the girls are ready to make a break for freedom.

Fabric is soft and stretchy, but there just isn't enough of it - certainly not enough depth - to accommodate any real projection. 


This square neckline style, with adjustable straps and hook closure, was the only bralette that really worked for me. But it's not ideal and has the same issue of really underwhelming cup capacity.



Buttery soft fabric and a wide, satin covered underband make this very comfy. Straps are wide, but sadly, way too stretchy. Which , together with the underwhelming cup capacity, 
allows the boob weight to slowly drag the front down until the double-bubble situation is ridiculous and visible under shirts. 

I only wear this in the house as I'd be required to constantly readjust it out in public. 

Sizing: They have 1x-3x, which only goes up to a D cup. And then 1-3+ which stops at 40-band but is supposed to fit up to an F-cup.

I am topping out at the 3+. Band runs loose, so sister-sizing won't be useful here.

If you are DD/E or under,  and full-on-bottom, this might be a great option for you as the fabrics are higher quality and the price point is a reasonable $25-30..
