Although very pretty, this push-up bra's cups are far too small and the band stretches to a ridiculous 39" even though it's supposed to be a 30" band.

The lace on this bra is pretty soft to the touch, and the lining material feels good too. The underwires are too wide and the band is too large, so the center gore is stabbing me. The gore isn't a bad height, the cup is just the wrong shape. I cannot fill out the top at all, but I should have expected that. I forgot this brand came only down to a 30 instead of a 28, so I didn't order the right size. I think a 30D/80D might fit like my 80D - Aubade » Flowermania Shoulder Plunge Bra (LAN81) . The details on this bra are gorgeous!

This bra is beautiful, but it is meant for someone a bit more top heavy and wider rooted than I am. I think the bra I got had a manufacturing issue: the right cup is 1.8cm larger at the depth than the left. My left side is larger, but not so much that there would be as much extra gapping as I saw. The band is also more stretchy than the other Aubade I have, and it is only barely tight enough on the middle hook. I don't think it had enough lower projection either, and the straps were too tight and pulled the sides more taught taut than was appropriate. I would have gotten a 28 band if they offered it, but this band almost fit closer to a 32 on me than a 30. Otherwise, this was a soft bra with comfortable straps, band, and cup lining.

Very narrow wires and deep cups. The band is quite stretchy

The fit of this bra is really strange. The tops of the cups are super open and wide and very deep for the size. There is an extra piece of elastic that attaches from the strap to the top of the cup, and the angle means there is no way it would ever lay flat (at least, I don’t see how it could). I’m not sure who this is meant to fit.

Based on the wire width and cup depth, this should have fit me… but it didn’t. There is something about the shape of Aubade wires that just doesn’t work for me. I think they splay too far out into my armpit, which makes an otherwise narrow wire shorter and wider. The straps are always too wide set for me, too.

Extremely pretty bra. The cups run somewhat large, so that getting a cup size too small (only the 'comfort' half cups were available in a 80F) wasn't an issue. VERY slight quadding, nothing to be worried about.
If you're in between sizes, pick the smaller one. The band runs very loose. This is technically a French 80 band, but could have easily fooled me to be a 85 or even tight 90 band. Definitely go down one band size if you're able to, or even two sizes if you're already on the smaller side of one. I'm considering altering it, because I'd like to wear this bra more often.
The ... straps don't adjust all the way and could not be made quite short enough for me, but I do overall need quite short straps. Am considering to implement some alterations there too.
Wires are somewhat narrow, though not to the extreme, and do easily bend plus are very soft, so that I had no trouble with them even though I technically have wider roots. I wished the gore would have been narrower, but I can get away with it.

All in all, this is not a great fit, BUT it is in no way actually uncomfortabel to wear, and succeeds in lifting the girls and creating a great shape even with the straps too long and the band too loose. Gives a very flattering shape. Will return to update on the quality after I've worn it more often.

The wires are super painful. They were poking me in both the gore and under my arms. The cups are too big but it's not worth sizing down because it's not the right shape for my breasts.

I went to a local highly rated D+ bra boutique to buy a bra that actually fits and I was really disappointed by both my experience and the fit of this bra. When I decided to spend the inordinate amount of money this bra costs I did not realize the cups were not wide enough for my shape and because I was new to properly fitting bras I trusted the fitter who said it was a good fit. Two weeks later the band was so loose it would ride up my back and the underwire would lift over my breast when I would raise my arms. Moral of the story don't trust salespeople especially if you are not well versed in what you are buying.

I wish Aubade made 28 UK band equivalents, but I can wear this 30 on the middle or tightest hook well. These bras are very nice and the cups fit quite well giving a nice lifted and rounded look. Add matching panties, they are beautiful and well-fitting. Expensive, so look for sales.
