I didn't know there had been so much research done on breast shape and size and positioning. </p> <p>It makes me think that the Feathers is actually a little WIDE and that I should try the Freya line, with cups that are closer together.</p> <p>Diana: it was so interesting to hear your experience with this bra. The feathers actually bisect my boob almost at the half way point, and the cup is big enough (and the lace, forgiving enough) that there is no quad boob. I have a long torso.</p> <p>It is encouraging to know that there ARE options for bras and that not everything has been consolidated around 1 pattern, which is what t feels like for regular clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1787069 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 14:38:34 +0000 Marilyn 1787069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 3 of the Natori Feathers bras.&nbsp; They are my go to for a pretty bra as they come in a size 30 band which is hard to find.&nbsp; This particular bra runs small in the cup (sizing up one cup size recommended).&nbsp; I am a 30DD but wear a 30DDD in the Feathers.&nbsp; I would be hesitant to order any other Natori without a try on first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1787047 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 13:21:00 +0000 BrieN 1787047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased the Feathers for my DD recently. The SA at Nordstrom's told us that she often has clients size up in the cup for this one particular bra.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786957 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 02:49:28 +0000 Diana 1786957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that shape is more important than brand. So the feathers does not work for me at all, despite it seeming like it would be a good fit based on width and separation and things like that, because it turns out it is too TALL for my very short torso (the top of the cups come up way higher than my boobs do) which results in the cup shape being totally wrong (far too shallow with a lot of empty space at the top and crazy squishing at the bottom). I do far better in a demi or balconette style which tends to be overall shorter in the cup and I have found other Natori styles that do fit ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786948 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 02:25:38 +0000 Angie 1786948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY. Love your pretty bra.</p> <p>The same bra size in the same brand can still fit differently in my experience. Take it one style at a time in a brand that usually fits well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786936 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 02:12:34 +0000 DonnaF 1786936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check the bratabase.com website and key in the Feathers in your particular size.&nbsp; It will give you comparable bras plus reviews of wearers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786927 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 01:47:29 +0000 Suz 1786927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad this one works for you! In July you can stock up at NAS. I buy them then. I take a cup size up in the Feathers. I don't know about the other Natori bras but it's worth trying a few if you can do it with free returns. I agree with what Jeneva is saying -- you can look at cup shape and spacing between cups for clues -- but sometimes you'll find a very different style that will work just as well. I do well in the Feathers but not other plunge styles, for instance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786892 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 23:59:12 +0000 Jenava 1786892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have to look at the shape of the cups to find something similar. &nbsp;I do better with a straight-across or nearly so cup design, and I know without trying that a more angled cup is going to be horrid on me. &nbsp;Since not all Natori's have the same cup shape I'd say no...but you can probably look for similar cup shapes/styles in order to guide you towards others that would fit similarly... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786882 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 23:32:48 +0000 Anonymous 1786882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only have the Feathers style in Natori and love it. You might call Nordstrom and talk to someone who fits bras. They really know the bras well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786871 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 22:26:44 +0000 kkards 1786871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So--- I'm a natori wearer, but the feathers style has never worked for me, it's just totally the wrong shape for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786848 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 21:29:16 +0000 viva 1786848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another feathers fan here.

Ok. I think i'll stick with the feathers for online purchases.<br /> The next time in nordies, I'll ask to try those other styles/brands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786844 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 21:15:58 +0000 Bonnie 1786844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my Natori Feathers bra and your question is really interesting. I don't know the answer but will be following this thread to find out what others think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786828 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 20:23:08 +0000 Anonymous 1786828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear the feathers and the pure luxe - both I get on sale at NAS. I take one cup size larger in the feathers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786823 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 19:50:37 +0000 Liz A. 1786823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can tell you from experience a definitive no. &nbsp;The feathers is the only one I can wear. &nbsp;They don't all fit the same, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try the other ones. &nbsp;</p> <p>If the feathers fits you well, maybe you have a similar shape to me. &nbsp;I also quite like the Chantelle Intimates Parisian underwire T-shirt bra and Freya Deco underwire moulded plunge bra. &nbsp;The Chantelle has a looser band like the Natori. &nbsp;The Freya fits a bit tighter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786820 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 19:44:22 +0000 Chris987 1786820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a Natori feathers bra last fall at NAS, and then also bought a Natori hidden glamour model in a slightly smaller cup size. I had an SA helping me who seemed pretty well versed in bra fitting.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;sizing is a little different for those two models. Hidden Glamour model shown in the find below...you can see that it's a little different from the feathers model..more coverage for example. . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-notorious-bras#post-1786810 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 18:35:49 +0000 Anonymous 1786810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got my first truly well-fitting bra yesterday: the Natori Feathers.</p> <p>It's the first bra where the underwire, cup and band size all work in unison for me!</p> <p>Anyway, I am wondering whether it's safe to order other natori models in the same size, or whether I need to stick to the feathers model. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
