Cake MaternityCake Lingerie Lace Maternity Nursing Banana Parfait Flexi-wire Bra,Ivory,32C UK/32C US

36F. I had high hopes for this bra because when I opened the package I immediately thought it looked and felt like a quality product. The sizing is all wrong and inconsistent. The inner sling is so loose when I took the bra cup down the strap and hook snapped so far back there was no way I could reconnect it to the cup without using both hands and I had the strap as loose as possible. It was also sewn in a manner that made it fold partially over making my breast look lumpy. The cup on the other hand is at least one size too small and has almost no stretch, making it very restrictive which can hinder milk production. The band was the only part of the bra sized correctly. The wire didn't seem any more flexible than any other bra I own.

Honestly, I don’t understand all of the positive reviews for this product. There is an underwire going straight up the middle of the breast right across your nipple (ouch!) and the fabric is super scratchy. The bra reminds me of something from the 50s and does some weird reshaping of your breasts into something resembling a cross between a bullet bra and a mammogram. The fabric on the outer part of the cup doesn’t stretch so not only is it uncomfortable, I don’t see how you can nurse with it because you can’t pull it down and have it stay there. The fabric doesn’t seem like it would breathe and is so scratchy around all of the seams, I wonder if I got sold a knock off product... it’s that bad. I also got one of their seamless sleep bras and it’s a night and day difference. I can’t see how they are made by the same company! I also tried another one of their sewn cup bras and it was just as bad. Skip these and just stay with their seamless bras.

I have other Cake Maternity bras that I love -Waffles (32I), Cotton Candy (M), and Rock Candy (M) - but this one just doesn't measure up. The fit is a little odd; the gore rises up quite high in the middle even though the band and cup fit well. The seams on the cups are very visible through most clothes, but throwing a tank on under my shirt or wearing a sweatshirt hides it pretty well. Lastly, I'm not a huge fan of the off white color; it seems old lady-ish and that's not what I'm going for postpartum haha.

This bra is very pretty, but it fits weird and after a few weeks the fabric has been stretching out. In particular, the triangle shaped fabric under the actual cup has stretched out, and now it's all bunched up under the cup when I wear it. The straps are too long, even when adjusted to the smallest setting. The underwire is fine at first, but by the end of the day it is really uncomfortable. As a 32J, I don't have a lot of options when it comes to any bra...let alone nursing bras. I can make do with this one, but it's not great. It's really too expensive for something that has stretched out so quickly.

This bra is incredibly uncomfortable, impossible to clasp, and it looks like the cups have been balled up for a year. I do not like the shape and you can see every botchy little fit through my clothing. I can get three bras that are very soft and a much better fit at Target.
