Feels like it pushes my boobs downwards. Gives me a ski-jump profile from the side. No bigger cup sizes available for the 30 band.
Wish it gave a good shape because band is fairly firm.

Could be just initial excitement but am loving so far - will report back with detailed review tomorrow!

This bra fits fairly well but wrinkles a tad on the top, depending on how much I swoop and scoop and the angle I'm sitting/standing at. It's very lightly lined but only somewhat helps with nipples. I am even fullness and about average on the shallow/projected spectrum with wideish roots. The wire could be wider for me on this and, though I wear it, would recommend this for someone with a bit more fob projection.

This bra was one size too small, so I can't comment too much on the fit.

Doesn't sit on my sternum properly so not the best looking bra or my most comfortable.

This bra does not fit me well, the wires do not sit flat on my chest at the gore

Makes a nice shape and gives really good support. Quite Comfortable, but the fabric is a bit itchy. It pokes a bit under the arms.

First off, let me say that I find the aesthetics of this bra beautiful. It's subtle and understated, but it's an extremely pretty bra in the white.
The band is pretty stretchy. I'm generally a 28/30, but I definitely needed the 28 here. I wore it with an extender for the first few wears, but afterwards it was perfect. However, I do find that it has stretched out a bit faster than my Freya or Fantasie bras tend to. The quality of the materials seems a tad lower than these, more on par with Cleo.
The cups provide great uplift, but the upper ... lace section folds back fairly sharply and is not at all stretchy. This works well for my shape, and it provides great support and anti-bounce. But there is a little bit of cutting in on my bigger side, so this wouldn't work for anyone with more upper fullness than I have.
One complaint -- the seams on this thing are pretty darn prominent under clothes. It's a versatile bra that works under many things, but thin knits are definitely not in that category.

My boobs: Full on top to even, immediate projection, close set, soft tissue, with narrow shoulders.
This bra is hella weird on me. The construction of the bra is very nice, the material isn't itchy, the wire width is perfect for my boobs, and the wires don't pinch. It's also a pretty bra, even in beige.
The bra fits well on top...any tighter and it would cut into breast tissue. It also fits well on the bottom, offering pretty good projection. But it's straight up baggy around my nipples.Updated on Jul 22, 2014 Flag this

My very first well-fitting bra! Bratabase says it doesn't fit, but it does! I'm guessing it's because I marked that I get the dreaded quadboob effect--but only on my biggest breast and it's minimal! It's also a bit tight in the sternum, but I have this problem with all of my bras now since I'm splayed and really should only wear low gores. My breasts also start up high and the straps irritate my arms/armpits a bit. I'd say it fits TTS overall. Only sister size up if you're not used to the tighter bands yet.
ETA: I've added an extender and it's ... helped with the issues I had with this bra. The quadraboob is gone, the straps aren't pulled into my armpits, and the gore doesn't bother me. This is still my best-fitting bra. It's really supportive because it cradles all of my boobage thanks to the higher cup. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the natural shape it gives, but I can live with it. I just need a 34E, which seems to be my size all around--except for Freya, I think.
