The Fleur Bra is based on the same body (Melrose) as the Linear Rose Bra, but it fits a little differently. Also the materials used are somewhat different.

I, personally, like the look of this one much better than the Linear Rose, but it's definitely still fairly loud! The main parts of the bra are thick, satiny material which is teal with pink squiggly lines (abstract flowers, I think) printed on. The upper section of the cup is two layer mesh, teal with magenta embroidery, which is very pretty, but fairly complex, and may show under some clothes. There are satin bows at the decoration points.

The overall shape is the same as the Linear Rose. Four section cup, including side support panel. Straps attached more inward (not center pull, exactly, but certainly not outer-edge-pull), banded (not much actual band under the cup, but it does go down and around). High quality materials, definitely a well made bra. The underwires are narrower than the Linear Rose.

The upper section of the cup is a little deeper than Linear Rose, I think. And maybe the shape is a little different? I don't get as bad quad boob-ing with this one, but it's still there. And the wires definitely are not wide enough to fully encircle my breasts. (I need extremely wide wires, so if you don't this shouldn't be a problem.) The wires are not exactly narrow, just not wide enough for me.

This bra makes a lot of use of the two-tone design. The body and band are teal or teal-based, the straps are magenta. Looking at the inside of the cup, the lower sections are the back-side of the patterned material, which look sort of white with faint pattern, and the seams are teal. The wire casings are magenta, as are the hook and eye panels. It is certainly a very bold-colored bra!

The band is snug and firm on this one as well, although maybe a little more stretchy than Linear Rose?
I really wanted this bra to fit, because I actually do like it a lot. If it were cheaper I might settle for not perfect, but, maybe I'm spoiled by Panache Jasmine, I just expect more from a bra, particularly one at this price point.

I was really glad to see Bravissimo add another "full-coverage" model to their line, but I really, really don't understand why they don't go to KK or L in these, as they have a lot of support for larger breasts. It's hard to tell if a bigger cup would make this bra fit properly, but I wish I at least had a chance to find out.

This bra is not owned any more
