It is impossible for me to find a bra that lies flat against my sternum but this is as close as it gets.https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I am very pleased

Is has been a while that I tried this bra one but it seemed to be fitting fine, The band seemed normally tight, the cups were normally sized but I found them to give my boobs a weird square shape which made them look a bit odd. I didn't approve and sold it. A similar bra that I love is the Curvy Kate Ritzy which makes my boobs look like I expected the Retro Bloom Bra would.

This is a very pretty bra, as far as I remember the band seemed fine (I normally wear a 30/32) and comfortable, the cups were maybe a tiny bit big for me personally but wearable, wish makes them run a bit small I think - (32J in new Curvy Kates, 30J in Cleos). But the cups go very far in the back and I found them to be so uncomfortable I had to sell the bra.

Lovely and comfortable Bra. Plunge style even for soft breasts.

This is a pretty generic Bravissimo plunge, meaning it has a low center gore and the Bravissimo true-to-size band. However, I found the cups to be bigger than in the Sweet Medley bra, which is a similar plunge, so there seems to be some inconsistency in Bravissimo bras as well.https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This bra turned out to be too large in the cups for me. While it is a beautiful bra, it wasn't comfortable to me. Also, the band dug into my armpits.

I had really high hopes for this bra because it was so cute in the photos, but the product in person looks a lot more cheaply made than it did in the photos. The fabric doesn't feel as nice against my skin as I had hoped and everything just felt cheap. The band is also much too big for me so I didn't really get any support whatsoever. I wore it on the tightest hook from the beginning, and I rarely ever wear it since I don't like the way it looks or feels on me.

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.

I did not expect this bra to fit as well as it does. It's said to be for a 2-4/5 shape, I think, whereas my shape is more 1.5/5.5. It's not perfect — I do get a lot of wrinkling in the top section — but the wires feel great. The shape is like a better version of Freya Balcony plunges.

I can't comment on the fit of this bra as it was much too small for me. Purchased this before I started my new bra life.

I'm a Satine fan but this bra just did not fit!
The floral pattern is somewhat muted and quite lovely.

Runs tight on the band, which I was warned about, but I was hoping it would still fit. Alas the band was not my problem. I'm narrow, projected, FOB, and it simply did not work for me. It squished my boobs into a pointy conical shape well below their natural resting point(and literally made them droop over the band) and gave me dreaded quadboob because of the bad squishing.

My only complaint about this bra is that it isn't smooth, so the seams are visible under a lot of clothing.
Otherwise, it's extremely comfortable, doesn't poke, hasn't stretched out, and is the first bra I've owned that really fits properly--no gaps at all!

When I started my bra fit journey, Dotty Spot was the first bra to ever fit me well. Fast forward several years and a bunch of weight lost, and I had high hopes when I finally decided to order it again (it's been the first colorway I've found at all cute since the old blue/red combo).
Sadly, it didn't work out. It's a very tall bra, and in my current size, with primarly FoB to Even breasts, I can't fill the top of the cup. I'm between band sizes as well, and think I would have been better off to take my smaller one, here, which is becoming the new norm for most UK brands.
I may eventually have to try it again, but sized down a cup from my normal Bravissimo size. For now, I will have to admire it from afar.

Very nice bra, extremely comfortable and well made. This one was a difficult fit for me. I usually wear 30E or 28F, but found both the 28F and 28FF too small in this one. Opted for the 30F, which fits fairly well but is a tiny big in the cup. It is still wearable and I will keep it. I think 28G might fit as this band seems loose, but I don't want to exchange again.

oops, sent it back and forgot to measure!
It did not fit. Too small all around plus may be too plunge (far apart cups?) for me. It was soft and very nice, so I am going to try a 30F. I normally wear 30E, but this 28FF was so small I decided to go a bit bigger in the cup. 28 band fit, but I tend to be more comfortable in 30 bands.

I got this bra used from a reddit user, and unfortunately the band ended up being way too big for me (it rides up so much in the back). The cups *almost* fit; if I did a tiny alteration near the gore or under the arm it would be fine. I would say this is pretty true to size, maybe a hair on the big side for the band because it has been worn before. I do love the colours though; the cups and band are a little brighter and more saturated then they look in the pictures, and the detailing is what I would call a deep-hot pink, which compliments the coral-pink of the bra so well. Too bad it doesn't fit me!

I think this would work well for someone who likes the Cleo Lucy. It's definitely a FoB bra.
I also want to note that the wire is about an inch shorter than the wire channel so the cup does a weird fold at the outer end of the wire as seen in my pictures - doesn't seem to effect the fit/comfort on me though.
As for how it fits on me, the wires are too wide for me. There isn't enough projection at the gore so the wires float, the gore is too wide too. The cups cut in at the top and overall seems to be pretty minimising/flattens me out a lot so I think it may be a bit too small for me overall. The band feels like its going to get loose pretty quick toohttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />.

There are empty pockets of fabric in the top half of this bra. Weirdly, the actual top edge still cuts in a bit so I'm thinking its quite closed on top and I just down't have the right fullness requirements to fill it properly. There is not enough projection at the gore or the wire but is almost okay at the bottom. Gore is too tall and too wide (doesn't tack). Wires are definitely too wide for me. The band feels almost a bit stretchy.

This bra is an awesome fit for me. It's a plunge, so it works well for my close-set breasts. I'm in the shallow spectrum, and it doesn't give me any issues in that regard. The band is a little stretchy as it stretches to 31" right away, but that works in my favor as I usually prefer 32" bands. It seems very solidly constructed, and the satin fabric gives it a bit of opulence.
