I do like this bra, but the plunge style doesn't work too well for me.

This is a pretty bra. I got the matching underwear and I have to see it's much better quality than the other underwear I usually buy so now I know why people get the matching sets.
I like Bravissimo. I have the 28G - Bravissimo ยป Wild At Heart (PA37) and it fits well too. I like the colour, magenta and purple and the lace as well. It's a sturdy bra, but not scratchy or itchy.This bra is not owned any more

It was a pleasing surprise to find that this size fits me in this model by Bravissimo. I ordered it together with the Bravissimo Satine (Ivory), but I didn't like the looks and feel of that one on me at all, even though it was the same size.
It is comfortable to wear, although the wires are a bit too wide for me. Despite that, I do miss the forward projection that the Ewa Michalak bras have. This bra gives them a more natural shape. But after wearing the EM bras, my breasts feel tiny now!
Even though it is not yet the 'perfect' bra, I will keep it for now. It is nice to have a bra that fits quite well and is comfortable to wear.This bra is not owned any more

It is a rather comfortable bra for me. Actually it is the first 28G I got and I am happy with it. I used to fall out in the middle in my deco (perhaps due to wearing the wrong size, perhaps the model did not suit me) but this does not happen in Bettie Mae bra. The lace on the edges of the cups sticks out, but it does not show under my black formal shirt. I am not sure I actually like the looks and fabrics visually that much, but since it fit nicely I kept it.

The fit was disappointing in the Bettie Mae. I love the style, shape and colour but unfortunately it does not suit my shape. I am around 28HH/J and went up a cup to a J as I heard it ran small, like their other Satine-shaped styles. If you are going to order, I would recommend doing this.
Much like the Satine Floral and Cleo Marcie, the wires are too wide for me with the cups collapsing underneath the cup and at the sides. I felt even less supported than in the Marcie, which is unpadded and so does this to a lesser extent. The bra seems to sit ... around my breasts rather than support them, it did this however much I adjusted the straps. There is also some quadboobing but I am unsure whether this is because my bra size is still in the process of discovered and/or the lack of support caused this. The band felt like a true-28 to be and the 3hook clasp was comfortable; the gore is short and makes for a good plunge style.
My Recommendation is to...: Up the cup, and it is for women who do not need wires as narrow as Ewa Michelak or Comexim.

Ever so slight quad boob effect on my larger breast but only when I am in certain positions. Fits comfortably

A very comfortable bra, although the outer mesh on the cups is scratchy to me. If I am wearing a shirt that's not a problem though. My husband picked this one out for me as a present, and although I am not a huge fan of how it looks, I find myself coming back to it whenever I need to feel secure and not super busty (not that it minimizes anything, but with the higher sides I feel less like I may fall out, and the lift is more natural and less in-your-face).
This size is too loose in the band for me - ... I must have recently lost circumference as I'm wearing all my 32GGs on the tightest hook and wishing they were tighter. The cups are good though. I do get some wrinkling on the bottom, but that's because I wear my straps on the looser side. If I tighten the straps the wrinkling goes away, and there is plenty of strap for me to tighten.
Nursing in this bra isn't a problem for me.
I am actually thinking of purchasing another of this bra in a 30HH, because it is so comfortable other than being too loose.

This is a very beautiful bra, and I would definitely recommend it. The fabric is a lot more comfortable and less stiff than Bravissimo's "Satine" which is it's sister style. I don't have knock-out cleavage in this bra, but as someone with bottom-heavy breasts cleavage is hard to come by! There is almost enough room in the bottom of the cup to accommodate my shape, which I find is rare. The 28H perfectly fits the shape of my bust, though for those with a top-heavy bust the top of the cup may dig in.
The only major downside is the back, which was on the tightest hooks straight away. I can still wear it on this setting without it riding up, but this of course dramatically reduces the life of this bra. I wish it was available in a 26HH, then it would be perfect.Updated on Jan 02, 2013 Flag this

Nice
https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> This is a really good fit!
It is a smudge small on my larger breast, which is then exaggerated by the fact that it causes orange-in-a-glass, so it is actually quadro-boobing a teeny bit, but it's ok.
It gives the good, narrow shape that I like - no boob near my arms. This is why I've missed padded bras! I is a little bit more east-west than what I find ideal (I like where they pretty much go out in a 90degree angle from the gore of), but it is still beautiful.
It is pretty true to size as a 34band, so it could technically do with being a smudge smaller for me, but it is fine.
The thin frill is not noticeably in normal clothes, though it may show through thin, clingy fabrics.Updated on Nov 19, 2012 Flag this

I tried on the 38J although i am really a 36JJ as i loved the look of this bra and i can sometimes be between band sizes. Sadly, although the cup fits (just) the band is just too big and provides little support for me giving me backache. I would love Bravissimo to extend they're cup size range in this bra as the cleavage it gives you is just unbelievable! Would recommend it for those in the size range.
