This bra is perfect for me - flat and open cups, with an undersized band.
I almost always have trouble filling out bra cups (not enough projection), and sometimes get a mock-quadboob(?) where the top of the cup cuts in. I have trouble finding small enough bands, and I think I have shallow breasts. I would recommend trying this bra if you have similar issues.
Pros: + The cups are flat enough that I can fill them out! + The edging is soft and loose and doesn't cut in at the top. No chop-boob for me! + Fabric used for cup lining and wing feels soft and delicate. + It's pretty, and makes ...me look like an adult! Amazing.
To note: = I definitely agree about the band sizing being off. I ordered this in a 30B, and measured it at 26.5", stretched. I also ordered the 32A, which measured about 24" unstretched, 28.5" stretched. Not great for online ordering, but SUPER FANTASTIC for anyone looking for a small band! = The underwire seems to be on the shorter side/hits lower at the armpits. I like it, but it might give less support for those who need it.
Cons: - The band has very little stretch once you put it on. I kind of like this, but it may feel less comfortable to others. Makes it harder to put on. And to breathe deeply. When I tried on the larger band, it immediately felt like it was riding up in the back since there was so little elasticity holding it in place. This doesn't seem to make any sense because the bands are so small, but I think the elastic is just not very rubbery and doesn't pull in very firmly. - The fabric feels very delicate. It's soft and lovely, but I am worried that it may damage easily. - The darts in the cup aren't the smoothest, they are just a little bit pointy on me. - The felt covering the underwire channel is thin, and I can feel the edges of the wire with my fingers. Seems like it may wear away sooner than on other bras.
Opted to try on a 30B after finding 28D to be too uncomfortable and unable to fill out the bottom of the cups. No luck here either. The cups are far too deep for me.
Odd thing about this bra. It has lace for 2/3 of the cup and paneling behind the lace on the outer 1/3. The strap attaches to the paneling so that the tension from the strap creates an odd wrinkling in the lace that doesn't have the support from the paneling. Not a fan even if it had fit.
One look at this bra and I knew I would not fit into this. I'm much too shallow and conical for the cups. I could fit two fingers in each cup in the extra space. The band was perfect tho!
I ordered this bra along with the Asos Boudoir Corded Lace Underwired Bra (359584), and that one is a better fit for me. I have small, shallow breasts, almost always have issues with having too little projection and often find the top edge of the cup cuts in.
Pros: + I think this bra is good for less-projected boobs. I could pretty much fill out the cup. I was just a tiny bit short, but it was not noticeable due to the thin foam lining. + The bottom half is lightly lined with a thin, lightweight foam. It's similar in thickness to some of my molded bras, but ...it is much less dense. Good for not showing through, helps make empty space less noticeable. It's soft enough that I think over time it will just get smooshed to your shape. + Lace top made it impossible to get chop-boob
To note: = Band size! I agree that the sizing is off. I measured this 30B at 28.5" stretched. I also ordered this bra in a 32A, which measures 31.5" stretched. Not the best for online ordering, but GREAT for those looking for smaller bands. The band is made of mesh, so it feels pretty stretchy. = The underwire is a more pronounced, deeper U-shape than I am used to, and really curves up and seemed to squish me in at the armpit. I think this is probably to increase cleavage. It wasn't uncomfortable, but I am not used to such a narrow feeling or looking wire.
Cons: - Not impressed with the quality. The foam lining of the cup feels like it won't stay fluffy for long. And the cup darts! Ugh! The seams stick out and are really obvious. They look pointy on me. - I personally don't get a good looking shape with this bra under a shirt. It is very narrow and stick-out-y compared to my natural shape. Read more 207 more words

This bra did not fit me well. While it is attractive, I ran into all my normal issues. The cups were too deep, with embarrassing wrinkling at the top. The top edge of the cup was too tight, cutting in and giving me a mock-quadboob even though the cup was obviously too big. Would be a better pick for someone with a different breast shape than me.
