This review is for the color "Hydrangea/Ivory". After having such wonderful luck with Wacoal's Basic Beauty, I gave this Basic Benefits a try and I'm glad I did. It is almost identical to the Basic Beauty. It has the exact same cup and frame with the exception of having a shorter side wing height by half an inch as well as an elastic strap that is every so slightly thinner. The center gore has a beautiful lace that runs under the cup along the band and up the side by where the side wing front part and back part meet. The same lace is also found on the top of the cup where the strap meets to cup and up till the front strap meets the elastic strap portion in the back. It goes without saying this color is gorgeous in person. I'd say it's a sky blue color with a hint of lavender with the lace having the Ivory in small portions of it. Defiantly another win in my book.

This bra is not owned any more

  Yay for shorter wings. Wacoal wings are often so tall!

  Love4Pollinators The shorter wing height is exactly the same width of the elastic they use along the bottom, but the length difference is only at that point. Once it reaches around the back it's the same as the Basic Beauty. I believe the reason for the slightly shorter side wing is due to the seam where the lace meets the backband. Still a lovely bra if it can work for you despite the wide wings.
