This is a difficult bra for me size-wise. I find the band comes up small and has little stretch, which is good for me as I really need a 26, although the lack of stretch means it gets a bit uncomfortable by the end of the day. Hopefully this will make it less likely to stretch out quickly.

The cups are slightly too small in a 28F, but slightly too large in a 28FF. I went for the smaller size because I prefer to have a little cleavage rather than gaping when I lean over. The shape is slightly pointy due to stiff seams, but the bra is softening up as I wash it. It still won't be good for tight tops as the lace is quite thick and show through thin fabrics.

The straps are only partly adjustable and I wish this wasn't the case as I'm wearing them as short as they go and really need them to be a bit shorter. They are made of a lovely satin fabric, but this contributes to them sliding off my shoulders!

The comfort and looks of this bra make up for the fit issues. Apart from the band stiffness at the end of a long day, it's extremely comfortable. The wires don't poke anywhere and it didn't require any breaking in. The lace detail and pretty charm in the centre make the bra look really expensive and beautiful. I have the Antique version which was exclusive to Bravissimo and it can be easily matched with a pair of nude knickers.

This bra is not owned any more
