I bought this bra at the same time as my @Natori Hidden Glamour full fit contour bra in 32G. After wearing this one for about an hour, I think I like my @Natori a little more. But here's my review:

Pros:
The gore comes up a little higher like a full-coverage. I really like this feature because it offers a little more support.
These are lined cups, which I think offers more flexibility for variation between breasts.
Three rows of hooks! Yay!
The lace on the side panels is gorgeous.
I still have a lot of room for adjusting the straps for when they inevitably stretch.
This is indeed a spacer bra. I have close-set breasts so I almost always have cleavage. This is probably the first bra that has actually kept the girls apart. Haha. I'm hoping this will help minimize boob sweat this summer and reduce the cleavage breakouts (acne) I get.

Cons:
It is a little more snug than I'd really prefer but I'm hoping that this will help extend the life of this bra.
The sides of the cups do very slightly cut into my armpits. I'm used to wearing sports bras that do this so this is really only a minor annoyance. Plus, I have a little bit of arm flab that affects this.
I anticipate that the lace covering the underbust will curl given time and potentially show under thin tees. I will try to update this review with wear.

All in all, though the bra is a little more snug than I'd prefer, it's still a great bra and still pretty comfortable. I will probably keep this bra for two main reasons: 1) it's the only other underwire bra that actually fits me, and 2) I'm really hoping the spacing helps with the summer boob sweat situation.

P.S. The name of this bra is actually "Merci" Spacer, not "Mercy."


Update 2/23/17:
After wearing this bra a few times, I decided to return it. It was too tight in the band to be comfortable enough for me to really wear. I think if I were at my old weight it probably would have fit better but oh well. If I lose a little weight, I would probably try to buy this again. It was still an awesome bra.

    This looks great on you! I'm actually planning to buy one in 65G that I've been watching on Ebay - the "G" scares me, but with how they size it's actually UK "F" right? Do you think the cups fit true to size? I wish there were more measurements for these!

    Does spacer refer to the fit of the bra (in that it spaces out your boobs) or the material? I always thought it was about material, but I think your explanation makes sense. I've noticed several bras with "spacer" in the name lately :) My favorite are Simone Perele spacer bras, and Fantasie has some too, if you're looking for similar bras.

  • I think she was joking about the alternate meaning of spacer! A spacer bra definitely means a bra made of spacer fabric.
