Review: Lane Bryant's Cacique Bras

Cacique bras are my favorite. I haven't found a brand that fits me as well as theirs do. They have cup sizes from C to H and band sizes 36 to 50. That being said, I went to Lane Bryant for their Buy One, Get One 50% off sale, and I picked up three bras. Some of their styles definitely fit me better than others so I wanted to share the three bras I picked up that worked for me.

 
Cotton Plunge Push Up Bra
$32.00 to $40.00
Pros:
  • This is my favorite Cacique bra.
  • It offers good support while giving a cleavage boost. 
  • They have a wide variety of colors and patterns.
  • When I was at my local Lane Bryant, they had many marked at $19.99.
  • They also have this same plunge style in a lace and a satin finish.
 Cons:
  • The satin finish has a different fit which I find to be terrible; I cannot wear my usual size in this bra, and I honestly cannot figure out what size I do wear in it.
  • This bra wears out somewhat quickly for the price, in my opinion.
 Multi-Way Strapless Bra
Pros:
  • There are many ways to wear this bra with the additional straps to suit your needs.
  • It comes with clear straps as well as matching color straps.
  • The satin finish sits seamlessly underneath your clothes.
  • There is a bit of push up for added lift (which is oh so needed for strapless bras).
  • The band has a grip texture to stay in place.
Cons:
  • The sizing on this bra is way off! I wear a 40DDD in pretty much everything, but I had to size to a 42D. The cups run big, and for me, the band runs small. This is a bra that you should try on in stores to find your perfect fit.
 Embroidered French Bra
Pros:
  • This bra is sexy and beautiful with lace on the cups and scalloped trim on the straps.
  • It is true to size.
  • It has many different fun color and pattern combinations including polka dots and leopard print.
Cons:
  • Thinner padding that doesn't offer as much support as other bras.
  • Though pretty, I don't feel like this is a good everyday bra.
These are the bras that actually worked for me in stores so definitely check them out if you're in need of a new one. You also get a $25 voucher when you spend $50 that you may use at a later date to get $25 off your purchase of $50 or more. Another positive is that you can shop online through Ebates and get 2.5% back from your purchase!

  1. My favorite bra is the smooth plunge with the removable air pockets. It's been discontinued and I don't know what to do now. None of the current bras are as good for me. I'm down to 3 without broken underwires. I might have to switch to the cotton.

  2. I've got some Cacique bras too. Judging from what you said about the strapless one, I got REALLY lucky because I ordered mine online before a wedding when I was stuck finding nothing but strapless dresses to wear. I have a 42DDD in that, but in their cotton wireless bras, I wear a 40H. I tried to get a Passion Lace Full Coverage bra in my most recent order, but it was at least a cup size too small compared to the cotton wireless bras.

    It's interesting to see that other people have found size discrepencies between styles. For Ashley Eileen and others, though, I highly recommend the cotton wireless bras (not the molded ones, although that's just personal texture preference). They give me as much support as I get from an underwire, but more breatheable and comfortable.

  3. I like the profile of this bra under clothes and overall, its more comfortable than most underwire bras, even at the end of the day. However I'm a bit baffled about the cup size. I wanted something I could do yoga in (not a sports bra thank you) that I wouldn't fall out of. I've got this in a 34D and the cups are a bit too small for repeat down dogs & head stands. So now I've got it in a 34DD and the cups are a bit too large but at least the girls stay confined inside the cups even after bending over a lot :-} I strongly recommend Bali 3372
