I was longing for the Calypso for ages, and was so happy to finally got the chance to try it! The RV cut turned out to be my favorite! It has toooons of projection and despite being a tad too wide for my narrow roots, it doesn't bother me!

Feels like a cross between Panache Jasmine, & Ewa Michalak SM cut
Adore this smooth lightweight sturdy mesh build, immediate projection is a little lacking as in Jasmine but not as severe. Overall projection better than in the SM.
Cups are a bit shorter/wider than typically found in this sizing (lower wing/gore) and a fair vit of lift in the center ...of cup but not at the cost of depth. Surely this is due to the lighter materials used. Frame and upper band construction is an interesting mode to right things in and compensate for tissue mobility from lighter fabrics.
While this isn't large enough for me, it's quite close enough to how much closer this design is for my compounded short/full fit needs. Read more 65 more words
It's a beautiful bra. The shape is very uplifted and compact, not overly round. Band looks short, at first I thought that there was no way I could fasten it, but at the endit's great.
I really like this bra. I think the style of it is great - fashionable, but too over the top. It is comfortable and supportive. The band is nice and firm - as I am on the small side of a 28 this is good for me. The cup fits well - but not quite perfect. There is just a bit of puckering of the material at the top but not enough for me to worry about. I am contemplating putting a tuck in this, as I think I might be able to fix it, however I don't think it is very noticeable so I might not worry. The wire feels really good and strong. Also the briefs in this actually fit me (cover my bottom) which is good too (unlike the 'short' style of brief so often made by freya and cleo which I find ride up and don't really cover these briefs seem much more suited to a bigger bum!)
