I decided to try Mariella, as it's based on Morgan (I believe), but prettier. Also it was on sale cheaper.

The fit is similar to that of my 38HH Elomi Kim, but the wires are a bit narrower and there's better depth in the bottom. Band is nicely snug, gore tacks, no quadding. As with the Kim (and the 38H Morgan I tried before), there's some vertical in-cup quadding where the side support sling ends, but also like the Kim it's very minor and not visible under clothing.

Looks-wise, it's purple, which is my favorite color. I cannot decide if the pattern on the material is pale pink or beige, but it's pretty neat. I especially like the vertical stripes/ladders on the stretch lace portion - it has a lot of visual interest.

This is currently my best fitting bra.

  Please pardon my ignorance, what is a "banded bra" ? First time I come accross the term and would so much like to better understand.

  Thaks, have a glorious day !

• This page will explain better than I can - basically the band runs all the way around the bra, under the cups and gore.

  Thanks, now I'm clear on that terminology. Have a glorious day !

• Nice review! I have Mariella in 34JJ, and your description seems spot-on. I think of Mariella as the love child of Kim and Morgan, haha.
