Oh, where to begin! First, this is a new bra I ordered after trying this in a 70G I purchased through another user. It was a bit stretched out, but I liked it enough to try it brand new. Thank you to mandapandarawks who suggested Levana boutique. I ordered a new one there and as very pleased with the service and fast shipping. The 70G was sold out, so Judy suggested the sister size since the band runs tight anyway. It was an excellent suggestion. I compared the sizing for the stretched out 70G and the 75FF and they are remarkably similar. No regrets ... on that.

Bra arrived today and at first blush, it seems like an excellent fit. Wire and gore are quite narrow, nice low wings, straps stay on just fine. Projection is there. Color is nice and a good match for my skin tone. Pretty lace, you get it. Shows a little under a t-shirt, but nothing awful.

I do have a couple of things nagging me about this bra, however. First, I'm not 100% sure about the shape. I feel like it looked a little matronly under my top. Secondly, I'm getting a tiny bit of wrinkling in the bottom of the cup near the gore.

I kind of think maybe I'm in need of a little firmer cup fabric? Undecided if this is "the one" I suspect I could do better.

Got this bra on a clearance/final sale, so didn't pay much for it. I generally have low expectations for final sale items as there is always a good reason retailers have to take such deep markdowns. However, sometimes you get a great score, so I gambled.

Anyway, about the bra. The fabric is a firm knit jersey in ivory with tiny black polka dots. There is a black lace edging at the top of the cups. The straps are wide and very close set in from the shoulders, which feel very secure. They are fully adjustable.

The band is firm, but seems true to size for a 32. It has ... a U-back and 3 rows of hooks x 4 columns.

About the cups. Well, as someone in another review said, this is a bra you wouldn't want your SO to see you in. The cups are very long and give a splayed, torpedo-ish, downward appearance. Very unflattering and not very supportive.

Having nothing to lose, I decided some bra surgery was in order, so I reduced the upper part of the cup to make it wearable. I took out about an inch of fabric at the apex, tapering at the sides. It still gives an east-west-ish look, or maybe a more omega shape now. The cups are more rounded and less bullet-y this way. Album is here: http://bra.pe/YBue/

Overall, I'm going to count this as a win. I wore it today to do some housework that required a lot of reaching, bending, twisting, etc and it definitely held me in place.

This is a replacement for the Ewa BM Bibb that I received last week. I think this is a lovely bra. The cups are quite narrow and not too high. The gore tacks nicely. No rubbing or chafing. The top of the cup lays nicely, no gapping or quadding. I really like the cup shape, it's nice and round. Fabric nice and smooth. This bra has a nice, crisp look.

I had really high hopes for this bra, but as with the Bibi though, there is some pulling and sagging at the bottom of the cups. I feel like my breast is in there, but still pushing down, causing ... distortion at the wire. You can see the drag lines on the side view as well.

Not sure where to go from here. Would a different size help? Or is this just not a good shape match for me? Need more projection at the wire? I'm tempted to order a cup size down and see what happens. Aack!

The saga continues....

Special thanks to mandapandarawks,
@DerangedDragons19 and veggiechic whose generosity brought this bra into my life.

Hoo boy, where to start. First, the bra is a lovely bra and the construction is quite nice. The color is vibrant and bra itself is light and airy. Other reviews cover the features of the bra nicely, so I won't repeat much here.

Pretty lace embellishment, firm white mesh. The band and cups are snug and supportive without being restrictive. Gore tacks, and has slightly overlapping wire. The straps are fully adjustable, wide and soft.

This bra kind of fits, but doesn't really. I've been trying ... to imagine exactly what shape this is made for and I can only think someone who is quite conical & FOT looking for a slight pushup effect.

My breasts technically go into the cups, but I'm getting the upside down 7 look in the top of the cup and a weird concave/inverted curve shape on the bottom of the cup. Is there such a thing as reverse projection at the wire?

Anyway, this is an epic fail on me. Maybe the bra has some sort of error in the cutting since it just doesn't seem to fit anyone quite right.

Many volumes have been written about this bra, so I won't belabor the typical comments. I, like others get a more pointy shape with Jasmine. There is ever so slightly too much projection at the apex for me.

I was comparing this to other bras in my drawer and happened to notice the cut of this is similar to my Kinga Michelle (http://bra.pe/XZnc/), but that bra seems to fit me almost perfectly right now (new pics added today). The cut of the lower cup on the Kinga seems to gives a rounder shape, but then again, I think it's technically a cup size smaller. That ... said, they are only measuring 1cm difference in depth, and the Jasmine has more stretch while Michelle's fabric is firm.

All in all, not bad, not great. I think I would fit better in a 32FF in this model. In the mean time, I'm planning on a minor alteration to remove some fullness at the apex.

Overall, very comfortable. It fits quite well, giving a nice round shape. The cups and lace are soft and lace and straps are somewhat stretchy. Band is also comfortable, with the gore and wings at a nice height.

The wires seem a bit too wide for my frame, but the cups are filled well. There is a tiny gap on one cup at the center front that does not show under clothing. My guess it will disappear during certain times of the month.

This is a used bra from another user here on bratabase. Condition is what you would expect. It appears in good shape, though does have signs of wear.

Overall, a good fit, and I'm happy with the outcome of this.

Still trying to find my proper size. Got this bra here on bratabase as an experiment. What a great way to try a different bra that didn't work out for someone else.

Generally, I think the cups are too small for me. Not sure what band to get our how many cup sizes to go up.

I have this bra in the black and white color combo and wanted to try it in the sugar baby color. This bra fits nothing like the other one, even though they are the same size. I can't decide if its poor workmanship or what.

Like the other one, this has firm lace with no stretch in the cup. In this bra, it flattens out my center fullness and pushes the tissue outward and upward. Three is also significant in-cup quadding at the horizontal seam. It seems like the seam tape is sewn too tightly. Or something.

Also getting some upside down seven action and an unflattering shape at the apex, so I'm not spending too much time trying to diagnose what's up with this. It's just going back.

Epic fail in consistency.

This is very comfy. I do wish the band were tighter and the straps a little shorter or adjustable. Medium is the better fit for me. Small size didn't cover enough breast tissue.

Still, nice bra for sleeping and lounging.

Band seems more like a 30. However, still doesn't fit in the cup, even with an extender. Very pretty bra.
