I got so excited when I saw a reviewer said the XS fit her and she was an F cup. Then Thistle released a bustier version so I thought for sure it would fit me. No luck. The XS sizing fit my ribs perfectly, but the bra did not contain my boobies at all. Granted I’m a G cup, but I was holding onto hope that some bralette somewhere fit me and that this was it. It was not. I know I’m a rare size but it’s rough being disappointed every time when sizes are just XS-XL. Additionally, the metal loops dug into my collar bone and hurt like crazy. HOWEVER, that being said, my husband was grabbing at me like crazy and loved the bralette, so he begged me to keep it because, “trust me, you’ll be wearing it for 5 min or less.” I’ll deal with the pain for under 5 min. If Thistle makes an even bustier version, I will be first in line.

I bought both the L buxom and the XL Buxom to have a cute bralette for my 36F UK (equivalent to 36DDDD or 36G in US sizing. The DD+ is misleading since there's no way this bralette will ever support all of my breast tissue. The L Buxom fit really well around the band, but the cups were definitely squishing my boobs. The Xl Buxom was too loose in the band and the cups were still too small. When I fully adjusted into the Medusa, My breast tissue still was very apparent in the armpit area. Many women don't know that their breast tissue can wrap around to the armpit area, depending on how their girls sit on their chests. So I'm sad I have to return these beautiful bralettes. I really hope that Thistle and Spire develops a more inclusive size range for their lingerie. I had high hopes since they had beautiful curvy women in their ad campaigns. Sad this bralette doesn't work for me.

This is my favorite lingerie of all time! I love snakes, black, and longline bras so this is the perfect piece. This is my first unlined bra and I actually love the amount of support for having a larger chest (36D - M Buxom) I did have an issue where the boning in the front was poking out of the casing the first time I wore it but customer service was super helpful and responsive.

So comfy and supportive. Wish I could buy it in multiple colors!

I’m a 36 F/G and have always had a really hard time getting lingerie that fits right, usually the cups are too small or there is no support so I’m not thrilled with the look. The Medusa is a game changer! I ordered the L+. It is sooo incredibly gorgeous in person and has some sneaky ribbing in the band to make it supportive enough for a bigger chest. Couldn’t be more pleased!!

The only reason this isn’t a 5 is because if you have a small chest the cups can look a bit “baggy”. But overall I adore this piece and would recommend!

I tried this on for the first time on a day I wasn’t really feeling great about myself. I’m thankful I did! Makes me feel SO confident and sexy (and a bit witchy). The ribbing on the sides streamlines everything, which is a bonus!

The Medusa bralette makes me feel so powerful. I have been filling my closet with clothing that enhances me. I want to be able to put something on and feel magic. This piece definitely makes me feel that twinkle.
