I love the color of this burgundy Layla but being a Bravissimo 40K, it is just a bit too large in the band and definitely too small in the cup for me. Quadding is excessive although support is quite good with the girls being front and center. I find the straps a bit too springy which leads to a little too much bounce.

A day after a discussion here on a white Layla that Bravissimo recently released, I wore my burgundy Layla for the first time in over a year. I don't know why I thought the straps were springy in my initial review because they are not, they are quite strong yet comfortable. Boobs are front and center, perhaps more than any other bra I have and they seem to be an inch or two higher, reminding me of how the Panache Jasmine fit me but without the wire pain. I am quadding significantly less than my initial review so I suspect things have stretched out somewhat. Throughout the day, I barely noticed this Layla as it was very supportive yet comfortable. I likely will not get the white Layla as it seems too plain for my liking.
Cup depth was a good match for me, unlike my Bravissimo Lacey which although is also a 40K, is far too shallow for me. I normally avoid darker colored bras but with my recent success, I will be adding the Layla into my rotation. It's too bad it took me 3 years to appreciate my seldom worn Layla.

• Looking back, I did not follow through on my intention to add the Layla to my rotation, likely because my newer bras, like the Jenna, Annie and Gemma were all so comfortable and supportive without the quadding I get from the Layla. I am wearing my teal Alana today and plan to wear this Layla tomorrow.

• I am only now noticing how stretchy and forgiving the cups are on this bra. I am no longer quadding anywhere near as much as I was when first purchased and yet I am well contained in this bra. My reaction was to consider Bravissimo's white Layla but as of Feb 2023 it is no longer on their site and is therefore likely sold out.
