Description: a purple molded-cup balcony style bra with black mesh overlay. Embroidered ribbons and check pattern on edges of the black mesh. Fully adjustable black straps with ruched ribbon detail on straps. Black mesh powernet band with 2 hook-and-eye closure.


Pros: The straps are fully adjustable and are thinner than most of my newer (/better fitting) bras. I appreciate the thinner straps because I will be able to hide them better during the summer with racerback or thin-strapped camis/tanks. I also feel as though they will be less of a hassle should I use a bra converter (again, thanks to the ruching and thinness). The ruched ribbon detail on the straps, while a bit of a pain at first to adjust, prevents the straps from loosening throughout the day. This bra doesn't poke or stab me under the arms and the center gore lies flat and does so without stabbing me as well. There is no quadboob (some with the larger breast, but a minor strap adjustment fixed that) or spillage and I feel secure in this bra. I can wear this with a v-neck,



Cons: It's a balcony-style bra, so the shape isn't my favorite, but I can see where in certain situations this bra will serve me better than others (office environments maybe?). It gives a "my-boobs-but-better" appearance under clothing and exaggerates my hourglass shape BUT it does give a little east/west point----not so much that my tatas are in my armpits, but enough to "push" an exaggerated figure 8 from the front (and make me think of torpedo-tits when I look down at my chest) and does flatten out the silhouette due to the lack of forward projection. The band is *FIRM* and runs a bit tight, I think. This may be causing some distortion of the cups/wires on me, but by the end of the day (even with an extender) the wires dig into my ribs HORRIBLY on my sides. I don't want to bend the wires because I think the overall effect of this bra is not the most flattering on me and I will probably let this one go in favor of the Cleo Marcie.

This bra is not owned any more
