This is a really nice bra. It's true to size or just slightly loose for a 26 band, and the cups fit me well with a little room left in case I want to use the push up pads. It has lots of immediate projection in the cups and gives me nice cakes on a plate up top, which is great. I really like the silhouette this bra gives me under clothes. It fastens with 4 columns of eyes, which is a nice bonus I wasn't expecting. Unfortunately the straps are wider than I'd like, which I was expecting, as this is a well known problem with EM bras in small band sizes.

This beautiful set of bralette + knickers + crop top was made by indie company Uye Surana. I contacted them about having it made in a custom size, 26F, and they were very agreeable about it. The set is made from a layer of white lace over yellow mesh, and has white silk to form the cups. There is no underwire, but the bralette has curved seams to form the bottoms of the cups, for a little more support. There is also boning on the sides. Aesthetically the set works very well together.

Fit-wise, I have no complaints. The band runs a little small and the bottom edge of ... the longline band does not stretch at all, so be aware of that. I found it to fit me very securely on the loosest set of hooks. The straps are pretty stretchy and adjustable. The mid-rise knickers (in XS) only have elastic on the sides and not all the way around, so they are a bit tricky to get over my hips but they fit well once I've got them on. Matching knickers are also available in a high-cut style. The crop top (in XS) also fits me well and really complements the other pieces.

My only real complaint is about the elastic that was used. It's very wide but thin, and it tends to get bunched up while I'm putting things on and it doesn't like to flatten out again. Other than that, a high quality set that fits well and looks great.

Very nice bra. Fits similar to Cleo Mimi -- the cups are pretty tall, but true to size. There's a good amount of projection and room in the center. The longline band is stable because of the boning. I'm going to return it because I don't like the print as much in person as I did in photos, but that's just my own preference. It's a very nice print objectively.

Like all t-shirt bras, this one runs shallow. It is the wrong size for me (30D; I wear 26F) and thus the band is too loose while the cups are too small.

That said, this is a really nice bra and I wish that it came in my real size. It is so soft and comfortable. I still wear it, even though it doesn't fit well, because it is so comfortable. Maybe someday Betsey Johnson will make 26 bands... sigh.

There's not much I can say about this bra that hasn't already been said about Comexim 3HCs. It's wonderfully narrow and projected. 55H fits like UK 26F, as is typical. I find Comexim to be much more TTS and consistent in their sizing than, uh, the other Polish brand that makes my size. (not going to name names...)

I got the narrowed gore, straps moved in, and lowered cups alterations. I'm happy with all of them, especially the latter -- I'm getting some rather surprising cleavage with the lower cups.

Bardot is great for a projected, FOB, short rooted shape. If anything, I could have used a little more projection at the wire and a little less at the apex, but that's a minor quibble. The band runs a smidge tight, not quite as tight as I'd prefer, but such is life.

The wires are a smidge wider than I'd prefer, but I actually don't mind at all because they're so flexible. It makes it a million times more comfortable. Looking at you, Panache!

Aesthetically, this bra is even nicer in real life than in the pictures. I'm especially a fan of the unusual double bows at the gore and straps. I might actually order this bra in the black + violet colorway too... gasp!

I wasn't expecting this bra to fit perfectly by any means, since it's not my size, but it actually fits about as well as I could have expected. I now understand what everyone means about Comexim longlines. They are definitely wide and shallow.

I don't mind the fit, because it's a Comexim Joy. This bra is gorgeous. I'm really happy to own it.

This bra is very projected, with tall cups. It's a little big on me, but I don't think I could size down because the cups are very firm and they are closed on top despite being tall. The wires are also very firm - I can only wear this bra on the loosest hooks despite being a true 26, because the wires are so hard that it hurt to hook the bra on the tightest hooks.

Other notes: the straps are half adjustable; the knickers in XS run slightly large. I love the print enough that I'm going to try to make this bra work even though it's not the best fit ever.

This bra fits me quite well. The band is TTS, so a smidge loose on me, but not too bad since the boning gives it stability. The cups are also TTS and a great fit for my short roots. The fabric on top wrinkles a tad, but not much.

I know some people have found the side wings to be annoyingly tall, but I didn't have an issue with them. I'm very low-set, though, so I may be the outlier, who knows.

The color and the lace pattern are lovely. I also happen to really like the neon lime colored bow and hooks/eyes as well. (I actually really like neon in general, haha. Cleo was just made for me.)

This bra fits me surprisingly well considering that I'm FOB with short roots. The lace is a tiny bit loose on top, but nothing major. The band runs a little tight, unlike the bluebell colorway. The gore is a bit wide because of the wide wire channels and it tends to sit on my breast tissue, but I'm not too bothered by that.
