I found it dug in really badly at the centre wire.

very supportive bra but as day wears on my full in the middle boobs try to escape over the center gore giving slight overboob right in the middle. this is very slight, doesnt really show through clothes, and doesn't affect how safe I feel in this bra. I wear a 34 and maybe should go to a 32, however I have never had a wire pop out of the end ( I have worn one of these so much I wore away the wire covering in the middle of the wire), and am reluctant to size down as wonder if that would put the wires under more strain and so make them pop. My current 2 are 6 months old and still look good. I usually machine wash!

I love it. It's narrow enough for me but I think that for better results I would need the centre how to be more separated.
I had to size up the cups as on my 38GG made a very light quadraboob, but the 38H is better. When I just put it and after swoop and scoop it's a little big, but after a while the lace sit on my breasts nicely.
It's a very good option for an everyday bra.Updated on Feb 02, 2014 Flag this

Most comfortable bra I think I have ever owned. Supportive too. It feels just right.

Measure approx 28HH; close-set, even (full-on-top/bottom) and round.
Band much tigher; comfortable though
Cup’s lace does not cut into breast as much
Wires are too wide here and the cup is collapsing on both cups underneath, particularly the left. After adjusting straps, the side seems quite high, though not uncomfortable but where the cup connects to the straps is very uncomfortable because of wide the straps alwaus are so, when I lean forward, they crease and rub against the edge of my arm
Had to tighten the straps a lot – not as much as in others – am I short chested
Result: Think on it, like the shape it gives, the ... style of the bra and the comfortable band
Result 2: Tried it again, and there is significant amount of fabric bunching under the cups which I think is true to how wide the wires are in this 28 band construction and it leaves me tightening up the straps quite tight; the cups runs high and chaf under my arm. Gutted as I love the look of the bra but it isn’t for me.

Review for Alana in White. I measure a 28HH; close-set, round, Full-on-Bottom + Top (Even).
For more detail, see 30HH Black Alana review.
Band is too large; quadboobing at the front; gore is narrow and painful; wires too wide; some creasing below the cup and where lace and straps meet is quite painful/cuts into arm.

I like the Alana bra quite a bit, but I had to repurchase it in a 34F because I was getting a little bit of quad boob. It is a very comfortable and pretty bra. The band is quite stretchy on this one and I found the underwire fell a bit short of my ribs.

The most comfortable bra I have! The band is stretchy and I can pull it away from my back with ease, however it does not ride up and is comfortable. Cups are almost perfect, only when I pull my shoulders back the top of the cup digs in, but since I almost never stand that straight up it is not a problem. The pink color is nice, I now want the aqua colored one but I really do not need new bras at the moment. Since discovering my correct size I just want to buy more bras every day, I used to hate it before as nothing ever seemed to fit. I am so grateful for online shopping opportunities and bra bloggers all over the world!

I really like this one, the shape is really good - the only reason it technically doesn't fit is that the band is still a bit big and it's a 28...so I just have to accept it and move on as there aren't many other options on the market. I'm happy enough with the fit as it is a comfortable and practicle bra in all other aspects.

This is the second Alana I own, (first one being in mocha) and it's in nude. There seems to be something wrong with the left cup however, there seems to be excess fabric on the top part (and just my luck, lefty is the smaller of the 2) and it wrinkles no matter how much I try to fix it. So far however I haven't had a problem with this while wearing clothes, and since in every other aspect I am happy with it, can't complain.
It's as comfortable as my other alana, the underwires fit nicely and don't dig in anywhere, I absolutely LOVE the colour on this nude since it's a very pale pinkish nude which is excelent for me since I am so pale myself. The band is nice and snug, the way I like it!
I will be eventually purchasing the black version as well, hopefully they won't send me a wonky one too, I mean come on Bravissimo WAKE UP!
First the complaints about underwires poking through and now wonky cups?Updated on Aug 29, 2013 Flag this
