Used to fit
I usually wear a 34H UK, so I was very surprised that this 36G Fr fit, but it does, and I love it. I do have to wear it on the tightest hooks, and I plan to alter it in the future, but I have not done so yet.
This bra is GORGEOUS. It really lives up to the price--it looks and feels very luxurious. The cup material is firm embroidered mesh, no stretch at all. I love the little details--the beautiful jade color, almost iridescent, the unique embroidery, the gore tassel, and the pleated tulle trim. The band is VERY soft and comfortable, especially along the underwire/right under my boobs where a lot of bands often give my somewhat sensitive skin trouble. My one quibble would be the scalloping along the cup edge--even though the top edge seam is perfectly flat, the scallops do not lie flat, which is visually unappealing both with and without a shirt on.
The wires are quite narrow. It has a very good immediate projection--I still have a teensy bit of empty space right at the bottom, but it's better than most other bras I've tried on. The center gore lays nice and flat on me. Its lower than the Lily, but not a true plunge--I love this as I find higher balconette gores to be a bit stabby sometimes, but I fall out of plunges. I would say it's fairly open on top, but without letting my escape artists go wandering--I don't have any cutting in or quad-boob, or extra room, and it feels very secure. The straps are half adjustable, which is plenty for me.
The shape is nice and round, but minimized and lower, not quite so up-front and center like the Lily. The embroidery is quite thick, and would be visible under a thin, smooth, fitted shirt, but I can tolerate it under the looser slubbed tees I usually wear (see photo).
This bra and my other Lejaby bra (the Mosaique, which is very similar) are my current favorite bras in my entire collection--even given the price and the loose bands--they are SO comfortable, and they fit great. I'll definitely be stalking other bras from this brand to see if some other cuts work on me too--I'd love to try some of their moulded bras.
