Revisa

This bra fits me a lot like the Fanstasie Esme 30E. I happliy find it slightly minimizing. I almost bubble quad on my larger side. It's just a little too closed off at the top for my roots. The cup width only has a little empty space on the sides at 5". I wish there was a tiny bit more immediate projection but the cup volume is really borderline for depths that fit me so it easily might not be a complaint if I wasn't on the cusp. Overall I'm happy with it for a "nude" even though it's not an especially nice ... shade of beige. The lace mostly disapeared and its thick enough I don't show and tell through my tee. I haven't worn it for awhole day. If my opinion changes I'll come back and edit my review accordingly.

Updated: after having this bra 6 months Im not crazy about it as I’d hoped. It’s jusf a bit too small. Now that it's getting cooler and I'm layering I probably won't wear it much but it does work decently. It doesn't have quite enough immediate projection for me so it slips down durning the day and cuts in slightly at top. I have inner fullness and a, even though depending on the shape of the bra can be functionally full on top.

I was shocked this size fits but it does and I really like it. I can get a tiny quadding towards the inside corner but its not noticable in a shirt and the next cup up was too big. The lace doesn't show under my white tank top either so that is a win! And the back doesn't cause any bulging even though it is so narrow. I like that the straps are also narrow making it easier to wear with more summer options. The first day I wore it I even forgot to take it off in the evening lol. I love that the padding is not thick either and doesn't gap at the top like I typically have happen. The gore is short which also makes the bra more comfortable than many for me.

This is a really pretty bra for a "nude". Unfortunately for me the cup runs too big. I think it fits more like a 30FF compared to what I am used to. Has good depth, isn't too wide. Gives me a relatively natural shape but if I pinch together the extra fabric in the cup it's nicely rounded. I didn't get any lines under my shirt when I tried it on. It has stretchy lace for the top half of the cups with would allow nicely for fluctuations or upper fullness. The straps are slightly thicker which I appreciate. ... The band I would also consider true to size but it's slightly looser than I like. I started on the second hooks right away. I like a firm 30 band most often. I bought it on eBay listed as new and with the model name ANTALIA.


Edited to add- my mom helped me take the extra depth out of the apex and now I'm wearing this bra once a week. I just pinched the extra solid fabric up over the lace, pushing it back under the middle seam a bit. I'll add new measurements when I can but just to this section here so it doesn't mess up anyone trying to buy one. I did add three pictures of how it looks on now. It actually gives me some cleavage!

Thanks to eBay I found another great deal on a Lejaby. I understand why most of us don't buy these at retail but I highly suggest this brand to people searching for narrow cups and projection when they can find past seasons at a discount. These bras have all had great detailing that is mostly unnoticeable under t-shirts. This one is cut very similar to the 65E Melusine I have but unfortunately the way the strap is angled it's cutting into my arm/upper arm pit a bit. I think I get a less rounded shape in this bra that I notice more without a ... shirt on but with a shirt I end up liking the shape quite a bit. If the bra were any less open at the top it would cut in on me but thankfully that only happens if I position my arms strangely the way it is. The tulle goes all the way around the bottom of the band but it's a very soft tulle and not scratchy at all. The band feels looser than its measures so I feel more comfortable starting on the second hooks. I'd say the bra is a relatively true coral or possibly salmon. The embroidery is shiny enough it doesn't work as a nude for me but I think it could for a person with paler skin. Black is a closer to disappearing under a shirt for me than a white bra. Love the tassel instead of bow at the gore. Gore is low but not stabby... just right. This doesn't seem like a full cut bra or a balconette exactly. This might be a plunge shape for this company but I'm not sure. I hope I can alter the straps in a bit to make it more comfortable.

ETA: still wearing this bra and it’s making more appearances in my rotation. In the end the straps don’t bother my arm during the day

Pretty happy with this bra. My review is for the lavender. I'd consider it "dusty" or "vintage" lavender. It runs what I'd consider a cup large. The lace doesn't show under my shirt. The cups are narrow for a 30F, 5" (this is marked 30E) and has good depth, 10". I could use a touch more immediate depth but i say that all the time. I appreciate the wider softer straps. I thought they were too widely set when I tried it on but they didn't rub too much as I wore it. I should say I didn't notice ... them rubbing but I do have faint lines on my arms. If I moved the straps in slightly I'd lose a tiny bit of depth which would give me a more rounded shape as well. This I find rounder than Freya but not Cleo Apple round. I got this inexpensively from Amazon. The band is a little loose (30.5-31" stretched) for me. I measure 29.5" uncomfortable under bust. If they had a 28F I would try it but since they don't I found the second hooks usable. I've been having trouble finding something I really want to wear so I've been branching out where I can looking for some less common brands to see I can get a better fit somewhere. The gore is nice and low but I found with my softer tissue after trying it moving around a lot I ended up falling out in the center on my larger side https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Still would recommend this bra to others with a similar shape or measurements.

This was the only nursing bra I bought in more than one size. Now that i am buying uk brands such as panache and freya, curvy kate etc I find that I need to size up 2-3 cup sizes. I was able to wear the bra happily for at least a year with heavy use before the band gave out on me.

I really want to love this bra. It disappeared under my T-shirt. It’s a good color for me, not too light or pink. But the gore and the cups are tall for me. The gore is also too wide to be comfortable. I have quite a bit of inner fullness and am close set. It’s just a little too much bra. The band is snug for measuring 30” when stretched, its two layers of stretchy mesh.

I really wanted to love this bra. I like it but it doesn't have enough immediate projection. Looks lovely when I first put it on but over the course of a half hour or so the wires are pushed down approximately a little more than a finger's width of empty fabric and I go from bubbling in the inner quadrant to quadding on the top and the band riding up slightly in the back. Wearing it on the second set of hooks helps stabilize the band and keeps the wires from sliding down quite as far. Surprisingly the Garnett almost acts as a nude under ... a lot of my shirts. The black trim can be a give away though. I bought two recently since the shipping was the same from encore and I'd read so many good things about them. Dessous is a pretty decent fit for me too but I don't find them comfortable enough to wear all day. I get in cup bubbling and on top as quadding as the day goes on. I'm wondering if there is any difference in projection between the colors. I've found there to be with Dessous. I think going up a size might be enough to get me the extra depth I need, but I'm concerned it might be too big then.

Adding update: I finally got around to trying the black one I bought at the same time- the depth is slightly deeper and it's enough that it fits well without quadding and slips down out of the imf considerably and noticeably less. It's still about the same amount too wide- unscientifically 1-1.5 fingers' worth which is about 3/4 of an inch.... Based on these measurements I do best in a bra for width around 4.5" but that is almost impossible to come by. I found the straps pretty scratchy at first but now they've soften after a couple wears

Tulle and lace - what more could a girl want! Lovely and soft as always. I actually like that there is no bow or jewel or anything from the gore. This French bra company doesn't tend to disappoint in details. The cup does run large for me. I'm pretty confident I'd get a nicer profile shape going a cup down. It's been my experience at least. Straps are semi adjustable. They have tulle detailing on the front sides. Three part plunging balconette, soft straps, more strawberry koolaid colored than strawberry red.

Happy that new models keep becoming available at my price point on eBay. One day I hope I'll figure out which sizes I need for which cuts but in the meantime I like the bras enough I just keep trying them. Unfortunately they are expensive unless you wait patiently on eBay, hard to return from the US and don't have a large size range but they've been good to me.

So happy to find another option in "nude" i.e. Something I can wear under thin or light colored shirts. I was worried the band would have to be altered. Usually I find the 30/65 band a bit loose in this brand and this is the size up 32/70 but it's actually snugger than the rest of my 30s and it has four sets of adjustments! I am sad that the wires are wider than I've become accustomed to and found the bra a bit uncomfortable wearing it all day. The bra is also slightly taller and deeper than the majority of the other Lejabys I like so ... well. I feel like it fits a half size larger and I probably could have gotten away with the DD instead of E. The sizing is still in range with the other bras I've tried of this brand, I fluctuate between 30F (my most typical U.K. size) and 30E. I hope to get some more pictures of this bra because it's really beautiful in person. The color is light but has a brown undertone that works well for me instead of being pink ish.
