36 C/D Sequin Beaded Costume Bra on Black Base - GOLD

I had just about resigned myself to having to order expensive custom-made belly dance bras or to sewing my own. I am a 34DD, too small for plus-sized bras and too large for the L/XL C-cup-sized bras that are too big around for my ribcage (which is about 30 inches). This bra, which is labeled a 36D, fits me extremely well, with nothing spilling out from the underarm side of the cups. It fastens securely with 3 hooks and 3 sets of eyelets spaced 1/2 inch apart. The fit around is perfect for me on the tightest setting. The straps aren't decorated since they adjust from the front rather than the back. Also, the straps are not removable, which for me is fine because I have had problems with removable straps removing themselves at inconvenient times. The picture doesn't do this bra justice. It's very sparkly. This bra is so pretty and fit me so well that I ordered 3 more in silver, black, and purple. Now I finally have a variety of affordable bellydance bras that actually fit.

I'm a 38C, so the band is just a little tight, but the cups fit much better than the other version of this bra. The 3-hook closure is also nice; I've had hooks come undone while dancing, so this makes me feel much more secure. My only real complaint is that the straps are left undecorated. If there's nothing else black in your costume, having those plain black straps running up your shoulders really sticks out like a sore thumb. I ended up decorating the straps myself to make them blend better with the rest of my costume. Overall, though, I found this bra to be a pretty good fit and comfortable, so I will probably buy it in other colors.

It fits me very well, is very pretty and serves the purpose for the reasonable price. I use it to accent my choli top with my big skirt. It gives extra sparkle. I also have it in red and it's very comfortable.
