Just got this bra among a few others from Bravissimo. I thought the light beige colour could make a great t-shirt bra for me. I actually really like the colour and say it's even a geat colour as a nude bra if you are paler than me.
The Lola bra is for everyone who loves a very uplifted green shape (referring to the famous BrasIhate blog post) and really don't have a problem with a very retro look aka pointy boobs. Everyone else, avoid it.
I don't mind the green shape if it's rounded enough to not look like you wanna poke someone. ( For example in Ewa Michalak ... BM bras) It's not the case with this. It's so pointy, I feel uncomfortable with it.
So about the fit, it's what you'd expect from Balconette in that size range, typical to other Bravissimo bras. The cup edge are very tight and cut in, so it's not FOT friendly. The wires kinda wide and I have slight wrinkling on sides. Straps are kinda seperate but I've had worse, cup height on the side is also bearable. Quality seems nice, fabric is soft.
This bra is apparently based on the Candy Bliss (CB). Now I had CB and the shape as never like this. Marguerite by Bravissimo has the same cut. Marguerite and Lola are discontinued, so grab them now or if you are like me who dislikes them, good riddance.

Hmm, the pointy retro look..I've yet to try a bra like this. In my country (well, I've lived in both Canada and US) the pointy retro bra is not common - mostly we have the molded cup/perfectly rounded/Barbie-Doll-shaped-boobs look from Victoria's Secret.
I discovered BrasIHate recently, but another cool bra blog I learned of recently "Hugs for Your Jugs," lots of good info on there.
