As with the other Alanas in 30G and 30GG, this bra is made from high quality lingerie textiles that should last users a long time. As with many Bravissimo styles, a finer gore than found in typical brands, wires are low and even, well shaped armscye to both provide coverage without digging into tail of spence, a nice long silky resilient strap that can adjust down to a scant 8.5"; with ... a well projected cup that surpasses Panache, just not quite up to snuff with Ewa.

There is no wing. The powernet in the band attaches directly to the wire. While it's not uncommon to see bras designed with no stable frame around the underwires, this compromises wire stability which can lend Alana to fitting shallow and digging if a band isn't large enough for the average width of the user.

Very durable and supportive build & materials, many great features as well as lightweight yet sturdy.

My sole quibble is the lack of solid frame structure around the outer part of the cup- there is no wing whatsoever to stabilize and prevent distortion.

SS14's eyepopping bright neon Orangeade colourway. Actually gorgeous. Lots of decorative embroidery on the upper cup, very pretty striped sheer bows on the gore and straps.

Runs small, and it's not my PMS boobs' fault. The gore pokes about half an inch out from my sternum and my larger boob is spilling over the top and at the side. The gore is very wide, and would be sitting on breast tissue if it did tack. Not sure I want to try a size up, I suspect the wideness issues (gore and wires) would only be worse in a 30GG. Otherwise comfortable, doesn't seem like the highest quality of materials, but nothing feels rough or itchy. Straps are very stretchy, band is good if only a little looser than I like.

Very comfortable bra. The band is a bit looser than other 30 bras. It is still supportive but I am getting a bit more weight to my shoulders.

The cup seems slightly too big, because it has wrinkles near the shoulder straps. But in 30FF the edge of the cup did dig in.

The wires do not go up so much under my arms which is very comfortable!
