This bra is not as pretty as the Alana or Oriental Bloom, going more for bold and bright!
I don't care for the looks of it as much, but it fit me much, much better, shape-wise, though I clearly need a different size. (I have a 34K reserved that I am exchanging for.)

The bra is bright reddish-pink. The cups are a smooth, satiny material (supplex?) with an upper sheer mesh portion with embroidered magenta, well, linear roses (gives more of a squiggly line impression than floral). There are little bows of weird-patterned sating ribbon at center and strap attachments. (I'll probably cut them off if I keep the ... 34K.) [I had said this was a "bandless bra". It's not. I don't know why I said that.]

This bra has a four-section cup, including an outer "side-support" type section, which goes from the base of the bra to where the straps attach. This means that there are two seams that meet the bottom of the cup close together, which yields a cup that reaches full depth much more quickly than a 3-section bra (certainly it is deeper sooner than the Oriental Bloom and Alana). The wings are a thick, supportive slightly meshy fabric with an edging of strap material. The straps are very nice (same type of material as the other two Bravissimo bras I keep mentioning https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> ) good amount of stretch, good balance of support/comfort/looks/etc. and are attached further in and at a different angle than on a balconnette, as this is a "full coverage" bra. Much better, from my perspective. The center gore is fairly narrow

It is a very supportive bra, definitely not as light-feeling as the Alana or Oriental Bloom, but for my heavy/soft breasts, strong is good.
The band is very tight! It is much tighter than the other two styles I tried, even with an extender I could barely fasten it. I'm actually glad about that, because it means I can get the 34K and it will likely fit me, since this one was too small in the cup. I don't really know why this style stops at a K, but it does. It would be really nice if Bravissimo would extend it to KK and L, since this style seems very useful for very large breasts.

I think the 34K will fit well, and I will put something up about that once I get it and see how it fits.
