disclaimer: i bought this set mainly because its ridiculously pretty, plus purple and silver are my favorite colors. i mean have you seen the high waist garter thong? siiiigh <3 i've tired the Very Sexy line in my 34DD before and not liked it, but this one is constructed a bit differently and is more successful, perhaps because its a Limited Edition run.

The cups are mainly a deep purple covered in purple and silver lace, and the top bit is a smooth silver/grey fabric, much like the other Very Sexy bras. The center of the cups, where they would usually attach to the gore, have been cut away slightly and attached a little further back. Instead the lace attaches there, as a sort of peak a boo. you can see in my pictures how the lace comes out farther than the cup as it gets closer to the gore. i like this look, and it doesn't seem to affect how it fits compared to other bras in the line. The have the same issue of not coming up high enough on the sides for me and combined with the cup being mostly padding, i tend to need to readjust during the day because i get a small amount of quad boob. But, its a plunge push up, and i can deal with that since this is more of an "occasion" bra. as always, the padding is very plush and the lining is smooth an nice on the skin.

The band here is where i think it differs the most from other Very Sexy bras. First, its purple mesh with an elastic border. i like that more because it seems stiffer than the really stretchy material usually used, although its definitely still got a lot of give. It doesn't support a ton, and it cuts into me slightly after a time because the border rolls into itself, which i get with the Flawless too (although the flawless is more severe). This is most likely a problem experienced by larger cup sizes and plus sized women like myself. Smoother backs may not get the rolling issue.

I do love how tall the band is! Normally, Very Sexy bands are very thin the whole way round. This has a pretty high wing for Victoria's Secret, about 4.5 inches, and that only shortens slightly around the band. But then, it gets reeeally tiny at the clasp again, so it can be that short 2 hook. In Very Sexy, these are especially small- only an inch high! the dramatic change is probably why i get such rolling, and if this had 3 hooks or even more spaced apart 2 hooks, it would probably be perfect.

The grey/silver straps have a slight ballet back, again different from the usual Very Sexy. they attach higher up because of the wider band, and like all Very Sexy bras have the split strap in front that turns into a single. I always hate them- they roll onto themselves and cut me, especially in my right size of a 34DD, where they're sooo wide! This bra design seems less so, proably because the band designed differently and is firmer so they dont take as much of the weight, but its still annoying and bothers my armpits.i would say that is my number one problem with Very Sexy bras.

Overall, this bra wins for me simply because its so pretty. Its a fun time bra more than anything, since i cant wear it under shirts with the embroidery or out for a normal day because i need to readjust. But for a special occasion or when i need some cleavage, this is a go to. Sometimes i just want something pretty and say to heck with fit! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> if you have breasts that arent so wide, you probably wont have the side boob issue like myself, and on a smaller frame who needs less band support i imagine this would look awesome.
