    Didn't fit

    This is a deep plunge bra made of beige/blush mesh with gorgeous floral embroidery in shades of magenta, purple, and white. The lined two-part cups feature lacy scalloped edges and cookie pockets. The "cookies" are different - they're like little bean bags. The straps are only partly adjustable and are made of purple ribbons edged with white lace on one side. The band is made of the same mesh as the outside of the cups. There are small purple ribbon bows in the usual spots.

    Honestly, I expected more from this brand quality wise. The embroidery is beautiful, but the rest of the materials are ... nothing special. The bean bag "cookies"are softer that the rest of the bra. The band is REALLY stretchy and a bit itchy. The straps only adjust less than halfway before you run into the lace edging, are spaced really far apart for me, and the strap material has little to no give and isn't particularly comfortable. The end of the strap that meets the inside of the cup has a rough edge that I can see becoming uncomfortable over a day of wear.

    My shape is roundish, projected, close-set when supported, somewhat deflated on top, asymmetrical, and a bit east-west. This bra is not a good fit for me in a number of ways.

    I left the cookies in to start, and I definitely got some insane cleavage, which is usual for me. However, the cut of the cup did not feel secure. I felt like I was a breath away from a nip slip. I would have felt better if the cups had been a bit wider. The cookies also caused a slight gap between the wire and my body, along with some quadding on my larger side. There was almost no cup gaping on the smaller side. Removal of the cookies reduced the cleavage and quadding slightly, but caused the usual gaping on my smaller side.

    As I mentioned, the band is stupid stretchy. I clasped it on the second set of hooks and it still felt like it was riding up. The thin mesh of the band combined with the stretchiness does not bode well for durability or longevity. The band is also really narrow so it didn't provide much support. I generally prefer wider bands since they're more supportive and make me feel less self-conscious about my back rolls.
