Great bra for someone that needs a smaller bandsize than the usual 30. The band fits much smaller than most other 30 bands. This bra is super cute with a vintage look to it. The red and black color option is very sexy. The cup size is on the smaller size, so order a cupsize up. I normally would wear a 28FF (this brand does not come in a 28) so I ordered a 30F. To have the best possible fit I would need a 30FF in this bra.

This bra is firm and tight in the band. It seems to have a lot of stitching in the bottom part of the band so hopefully it will not stretch badly. I can fit more than 2 fingers under the band, but this is pretty much as tight as I am going to find. The cups themselves are pretty with out over doing it. The colors contrast nicely and the lace overlay covers the seams from the 3 part cups. I'd like the straps to be thinner, but they are fully extended with plenty of room to tighten. The underwire does sit higher in the armpit but I have no issues with it digging. I am really happy with this bra. I hope it wears well and does not stretch too badly.

This is my first "professionally" fitted bra, not self fit. It fits pretty well with the exception of the wire width. The wire continues around a good portion of side around to almost my back. I wonder if this would be improved by having this bra in a 26J.
Loves- The sling of fabric on the inside of the cup. I think it really strengthens the cup design.
Dislikes- The stretchiness of the top section of the cup. This bra was recommended to me because of the stretchiness, the reason being it would allow for pregnancy breast growth. Yes it is stretchy and soft, but the holes in the lace stretch out which could end up showing an nip slip. Because of how fast the lace does this I wouldn't buy this bra again for full price. Now on ebay, I'd buy it again.
It's incredibly comfortable. The band is wearing well. The strap width is OK, which is something I usually have a problem with. The cup depth is excellent, just the width is not right for me.

This bra is not the prettiest in the world, but it fits. I am not a fan of the color/design. It looked much prettier online then it does in person. The band fits firmly for a 30, more like a 28. Dimity So bras are made by the same designer that does Elle MacPherson bras, so the smaller band makes sense. I ordered up a band size, keeping the same cup size. So normally I would order a 28FF, in this bra I ordered a 30FF and I have the same fit.

I have mentioned bra swap groups a few times before now. I belong to a Facebook buy/sell/swap group. It's really a great thing because you can sell or trade the bras you thought fit but you find ou...

Brand new, unworn. The fit of this bra just seems different then any other Masquerade that I have tried. It is a plain 3 part plunge style bra, but the construction of the cups seems to cause the breasts to point outward. It doesn't push up, but does give a nice cleavage line. Even with the outward pointed breasts it may provide a great look for some under clothes.
The band does not feel nearly as tight as the Rhea even though the have a similar stretch length. Not really sure what is going on with that. It also has the 2 hook fastening not a normal 3 for this size. I like that personally, but many won't.
I have one major fit issue with this bra. At the top of the cup under the arm there is a crazy gap. It is hard to get a photo of. I'm not sure if it is due to the width of the cup compare to my breasts or possibly the projection of my breasts compare to the cup.

After a short time wearing I can say a few things about this bra.
1. The wires are way too wide. It goes around to almost my back, way past the center of the area under my arm.
2. The depth of the cup is perfect
3. The straps are way to widely placed, they dig into the soft tissue at the armpit joint area. I'll have to alter them for a better fit. I'll make the under arm whole a touch wider at the same time.
4. The wires need to be bent to curve around a body. I'm pretty sure ribcages are not flat across the front, but the wires are. There is no gentle curve that would make it fit around a body.
Appearance wise the bra is OK. Not as lifted as I'd like. Because of the wire and underarm/strap issues I'd rate this much lower on the comfort. Once altered and adjusted it will probably be a much better bra.

Wear testing, review to come.
First impressions, comfortable and looks good under clothes. Gives a great shape, no pointy boobs. I sized down 1 cupsize, which is a touch small, but my normal cupsize probably would have been a bit big.
This is an encapsulation bra, no compression. My bust measures 36" with it on when it is normally 37.5-38."

Brand new, wear testing. Very firm band for a 65, with very little stretch. Has cute detailing at the straps that is horribly uncomfortable. Material is pretty, much prettier in person. Inside stitching is not pretty at all, I'll try and get a picture of it.
This is the bra that broke my heart. I should have known it wouldn't work for me, but it was a set that I HAD to have. I should have known better. It went on to another lady, and I'm ...
