This is an absolutely gorgeous beige lace bra! I so wish it fit me better! The cups are just too large for me, and the band is as well. The cups are slightly too wide for and they're definitely too tall for my short roots. This bra does run slightly smaller than A122 Aurora in 65F, I suspect because the guipere lace used in the cups is much stiffer than the mesh on Aurora. This bra has convertible straps that are fully adjustable, but are a bit difficult to adjust due to their embroidery. The band is true to size, and is very soft and stretchy. This bra fits large for a 30E, and requires a very projected shape. The gore is fairly high and I would compare the cup shape to the Cleo Lily.

I was really sad that this bra didn't fit! The style is adorably retro and all of the materials are very high quality and look elegant. The cups have thicker padding than most bras. The cups on this are very wide and don't allow for immediate projection. I found that the gore dug in and was incredibly painful. This would be fine on someone who's breasts are further apart. The band was the high point for me. With my 25inch underbust this is the first bra to feel snug on my ribcage. If you are a true 26 this is a great bra to try. If you measure around 28 or 29 I would size up to a 30 band. I wish this bra had narrower wires and more projection! I'm so sad to get rid of it.

Charlotte is a beauty. I wanted this bra to fit so badly, because it's gorgeousl

This bra is a disaster on me. Everything about it is just wrong for me. The band is true to size for a 30. The cups run a tad large, and just don't suit me in any way. The actual bra is beautiful and feminine. I wish it fit! If balconettes and vertical seam bras work for you this could fit the bill. It does have room for considerable projection and the gore is fairly narrow (if high). The straps are wide set and so is the overall profile. The mesh on this is much softer than on the Dessous. The bra sure is beautiful though!!

This is one of the worst fitting bras I've ever owned. The cups gape like crazy at the top and my breasts don't fit all the way in the bottom of the cup. The cups are too separate, tall, and shallow for me. My breast tissue escapes out the side as a result of the lack of depth in the cups. The band on this is huge. The bra is brand new (I only ordered it and tried it on) and the band stretches to more than 32inches. This bra does not feel terribly secure and the band in the back is relatively thin. The materials on this feel pretty cheap and the removable pads are thick and awkward. This could possibly be a great bra for someone who is shallow and wide, but it's worse quality than VS if you're comparing the two.

This is the first bra I've ever owned that I truly have no idea who it would fit. The wires are incredibly wide with cups that look huge but are filled about 60% or more with foam. I've owned a lot of push-up bras in my life, and this one is the only one that has ever given comical cleavage. The cups are also super close together and the push up padding causes breasts to fall into the middle and collapse. The gore on this floats so much on my frame. If you need a serious "add two sizes" bra for a costume, this might work for you. It does give massive cleavage.

I love this bra! Everyone who recommended Polish bras to me was 100% right. This works with my shape much better than anything else I've tried. The band is comfortably tight (for my 25 inch ribcage) and the cups allow for my projection and don't gape at the top. I might prefer if the wires were a tiny bit narrower and the cups were a tiny bit deeper. Once I bent the wires narrower the fit is even more improved. The gore pokes a little bit, but I have an incredibly bony sternum so that's to be expected. I love the way this bra looks. The black lace is classy and sexy. It doesn't show under clothes. This bra does minimize my breasts a bit and it gives a more natural shape. Overall, I might want a half cups size up, but this is still amazing.

I really really love this bra. It's my very first Polish bra, and based on the f

This bra is definitely just too small on me even though the bra on the whole runs a size big. It's open enough on top that the cups don't cut in as much as they should, but my nipples pop out the top. The band on this one runs a bit big, and I think it would fit a small 28E or a 55F. The straps on this bra are super stretchy, and feel sort of cheap. But, they are thin. The extra straps are a bit hard to adjust, but they look nice.

This is another very small 32D from Victoria's Secret. The cups are also very wide and a bit shallow. The fabric in this is very firm. The cups are too shallow for me, but they might fit a true 32D. If you're looking for a 30 band strapless at Victoria's Secret this might be an ideal way to go. The pushup is fairly light by VS standards. This is not at all a comfortable bra. Like most strapless bras, it digs in like crazy with the silicon on the back band. For a nude bra, it is pretty.

Lovely bra, but slightly large on me. I don't find this one the most flattering on me. I do love the gateway back, but I think this would work better on someone with more upper fullness than I have. The lace on this is quite pretty and is mesh lined with side slings. The bow at the center is hot pink, which contrasts nicely with the turquoise. If I didn't already have the Panache Andorra in this size I'd be more tempted to keep this one!

This is the first bra in my new size I've tried. The band fits great (for the first time in my life) and the cups don't spill over. They are however too full on top for me and give an awkward pointy shape. The gore does dig in quite a bit. I think slightly narrower cups and a lower gore might be better for me. The wires on these cups are considerably wider than my IMF. The pattern is adorable, and the color is a fun summery turquoise. The straps are very thick and comfortable. Overall, the shape of this bra is wrong for me, but if you're FoT and projected (very projected) it may work for you.
