Didn't fit
This bra makes you look pretty in pink: the shade is almost a bit 'dusty/rose' rather than bubblegum pink.
Nice sort of geometric woven border along the cup edges. Material is a little bit scratchy (mesh-like?) but not actually uncomfortable. Band is nice and firm, straps are pretty much standard width and fully adjustable.
Cup-wise Flirtelle padded bras run small, in my experience (I've tried quite a few: Ellie, Kimberley, Mia, Zara). On average I would say smaller also than Curvy Kate (Flirtelle is her 'sister brand'). Same goes for Anneliese: while normally a 30GG/H, I definitely needed a 30HH in this.
For reference my shape is pretty FoT, tall-ish roots, average projection? Always thought I was wide and shallow - but with some size fluctuations, I think I'm more medium/projected now.
This bra runs fairly deep in the cups but is a little too closed on top for me (though there's no real quadding). From the side, it gives a slight elf-shoe appearance - a bit too pointy for my taste. Still, as I do fill out the apex of the cups and the pointiness is less obvious under clothes, Anneliese is wearable for sure.
The reason I wear her less than Ellie (e.g.) is mainly the straps + tallness of the side wings: this bra tends to chafe my armpits a little. Not as bad as some (Flirtelle Amelie - review yet to come - a Smoothie clone and VERY wide & tall in the sides) but enough to make me prefer other bras.
Contemplating whether I should give Anneliese more opportunity to prove herself; or put her up for sale.This bra is not owned any more
