This bra just straight didn't work for me.

Updated on Apr 21, 2014 Flag this

The bra cup is much too shallow, which is so strange given that I have a different Alegro in 30D which fits fine. In order to fit into this, I need to place the cup further up on my breast tissue and let the gore sit atop. The straps are a bit wide, but the straps function as nice side support. I just wish that the cups were deeper because the bra is quite attractive.

Band: I have two of these bras, one in burgundy and another in black. However, the black seems to have been stretched out by prior people trying on the bra. Hence, the band was too big. Also, there are other dimensions that differ between the two bras.

Straps: Too wide set and not enough leeway to adjust. My breasts are high set and as such, I need all the strap adjustment I can get.

Cup: The cup is cut much too low. It is definitely not meant to be a functional bra as much as a sexy bra. Much peekaboo to be played.

Center gore: For the bottom of the cup to sit against the bottom of my breasts, I need to raise the center gore a bit and it then sits on my breast tissue.

All in all, not the bra for me.

This is a bra for someone with much fuller breasts than mine! The brand is very loose for a 30 as well.

I didn't expect to love this bra as much as I do even if the cups are a tiny bit too big. I'm between a 30D-30DD so I need to size down. It's very comfortable, but the wings come up high under the arms so if that bothers you then pass on this one. The band is snug, but very comfortable. A bit like Panache in terms of stretch, and the straps aren't *fully* adjustable. I'll still be ordering two more because these things didn't turn out to be a problem for me.

I got this bra in a 30DD at first but this fits far better, without any quad boob

Updated on Mar 31, 2014 Flag this

I really wish this bra fit, it was so incredibly comfortable! The top of the cups kept cutting into my breasts creating serious quadboob, but ordering a 30E would have been far too large. The cut just isn't right for me, and I'm not sure who it would work for. Make sure there's a fair return policy when you buy this bra, not because it's poorly made or uncomfortable (just the opposite!) but because it's a tough fit and may not work for you.

This was a mistake waiting to happen. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> My boyfriend insisted it would at least work out a little bit. He was wrong.

I do love the color of this bra. It is basically the popular, radiant orchid color. None of my pictures show the true beautiful color of this bra.

One wonderful thing I love about this bra is that the wires were the thinnest wires I have ever felt. I really liked that myself. It is rather flat like, something to keep in mind. Also the band was rather stiff, I only wore it for 10 minutes so not sure if it would eventually stretch out.

Overall Im returning it for full refund today.

Very tight band, but cups very stretchy and not supportive. Band was so tight that I couldn't wear it for more than a few seconds to really evaluate the fit. Straps too wide set for me. Very pretty though.

Very comfortable, very supportive. Not really padded per se, but very softly, lightly lined.

Full coverage bras aren't ideal for my short breasts, but I took a chance on this bra after seeing the narrow gore and low price. It was too big in the cups. (I am still trying to nail down my size.) I'm not sure if it's too tall or just too big.

The straps have a layer of gathered material, which could potentially show through shirts. Other than that, it's a typical full coverage lace bra.

There is a very pretty bra and very comfortable. A little bit of poking from the underwire. I think it is too close to my armpit? I'm new to all this so I'm not sure. I think the cups might be too big for me and the band too big as well. Not to mention the website I bought it from led me to believe that this bra had padding while it is an unlined bra.

What is good about this bra? It is a very soft bra. It was advertised as padded but the padding is just right -- not too thick and not too thin. I also enjoy how it lifts up my boobs.

This might just be my favorite bra ever. Literally everything about it fits perfectly (breast tissue perfectly enclosed, straps feel secure, band is the right tightness, gore tacks and sits flush on my chest). Not to mention, it's super comfortable and cute! It may run a tad small (30E is a cup size up from my regular)...it's hard to know for sure though, because I've definitely experienced some tissue migration, but no idea if it would account for a full cup size. Either way, highly, highly recommend!!

Can't quite fill it. Nice, simple design. Soft lace. Doesn't fit like a full 30f, feels smaller. Very stretchy band.

This a beautiful bra, but it does not fit right. The wires do not sit around my breast tissue/against my body. They seem to only hit under the middle of each breast and then don't fit anywhere else. I think the wires are not shaped well for me. I don't fill the cups (must need a smaller cup size). And the gore doesn't sit against my sternum, even though the band is a good size. There are just too many things going wrong with this.

I got this on a whim (and because it was cheap). It's actually a very pretty bra. I got it today and wore it for about an hour to test out the fit. I got the 36G size, though I'm probably more of a 34GG (right now) in most UK sizing.

OVERALL this fit me similarly to the way the Freya Tara (4601) in this review (http://bra.pe/RCLy/) did, though the cups are much closer to fitting. It actually mostly fits, but the apex, again, is too high for my boob and the straps are ridiculously too wideset for my body.

BAND: On the stiff side. Didn't ... wear it long. Have no idea of whether it would stay this stiff. I could wear it on the loosest hooks, but probably would have to tighten up pretty soon as it's one size bigger than I normally wear. The closure was 3-hook and padded - seemed sturdy.

WIRE: Seemed okay. Possibly a little flimsy? It squeaked a bit. Width was okay for me, which makes sense as it's a sister size.

FABRIC: Very pretty soft grey with the check pattern highlighted in a slightly sparkly thread. The lace is nice, too, though has the "brand new" slight scratchiness to it.

CUP: Volume-wise is close to fitting, other than the too-tall-for-my-boob problem. The apex is to high for me. It's actually not that flappy on top, but the bottom is also folding under the boob unless I pull the cup snug, upward. When I do that, the wire does not sit properly because the cup is fighting my boobs' desire to push outward.

GORE: Too high for me. I know the measurement is only 3.5", but the middle bottom curves up so much that starts at about an inch to an inch-and-a-half above the underbust/wire/band line. It also digs in, partly because my boob is pushing the wire at the bottom out, and partly because of the way the wire is shaped.

WINGS: Seem fine, but I have to keep adjusting because of everything else pulling things out of alignment.

STRAPS: This was the kicker. WAY too wideset for me. See... the whole strapgate BS about "oh you need to wear smaller cup and bigger band" is a lie. If I go up a band and down a cup, the straps are even further apart on me. Right now, the 34GG I am wearing has WAY better strap placement. A 34HH has less annoyingly wide-set straps, even though the cup depth is too big.

In conclusion: In the past, I might have kept this bra to alter, but I've hit the point where if I buy a NEW bra, it needs to be as close to fitting as I can get; I'm not going to alter anything I get that is brand new. I have already listed it.

p.s., Sorry for the TON of pictures, but I figured, this model and brand don't have many pics, so why not take a bunch. It really is quite a pretty bra. I'm going to try out a 34G after I lose a few pounds.

This bra is lower in the wing than my elomi bras but the straps are far, far too far apart for my frame, so I will be returning it.

Stretchy band. Lace under the arms is a bit scratchy and uncomfortable, but it's not something you'd notice once you had on a shirt. The top of the bra does cut in on my bigger boob. I am shallow boobed, and knew this might be the case, but this is my first bra in my better size, so was willing to experiment.

The color is very bright pink, with a black underfabric. A sparkly little bead and bow in the center. Cute.

Update 2 months later. Lace got softer after washing. Wires a bit to narrow, sit on tissue at outer edge. It seems to have stretched out, I'm wearing it on the second hook.
