Fits well, very comfortable for everyday wear. I had to go down a cup size for it to fit though.

The gore is a bit low, but other than that it's a fabulous bra. I read the other reviews and ordered a cup size up. That was a good idea, and the cups fit comfortably (except my left boob spills sliiightly over but it always does - a size larger does not help). I got this bra in the lovely cobalt blue seasonal colour (slightly brighter than in the Bravissimo picture but still very nice). It's really pretty and shiny! I'm totally considering getting it in the new red, too. The fabric is smooth and shiny and also very soft, and I feel fantastic wearing it. If I bend over all the way the underwires poke my sternum a bit, but otherwise it's a great fit.

This fits like the Satine except for one difference - the straps are only partially adjustable. The band is true to size, so it is too loose for me. The cups fit small - I'm on the smaller side of a G cup and I can just about make this work, but suspect the GG would be a better fit.
The cups are lightly padded, but not enough to add bulk. The shape is quite natural but uplifted. The wires come up higher than some plunges, so it may be good for those who want to try a plunge but usually struggle with this shape. Personally I don't get much cleavage in this, and I feel like the cups are quite full coverage compared to other plunges I've tried. It's a good, comfy everyday bra.

I really really wanted to make this bra work. I love the colors and I like halfcups. Also, I $30 in shipping between the initial shipping from UK to US and exchange for a bigger size. And yet, it was not meant to be. The cups are simply too wide for me, and the wires go back way past where my breast tissue ends. I think this bra runs about 1/2 cup small, too, so I get some minor quadboobing. Everything else was great - no poking, band stays in place, no back fat, super comfortable. I wish it could have worked for me.

Let me start off by saying that there were a ton of problems with this bra that theoretically should make this close to unwearable for me. The issues: The center gore is too high for me. As you go...

I normally wear 28F but sized down in the cups after reading a blog writing and reviews. I ordered 28E but it was too small in the cups! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I got bad quadboob.
Otherwise the bra felt good, and I will get it in 28F.

The straps adjust all the way, band was tight enough (=true to size), and the wires were quite wide, which is good for me. Seems to fit well for my shallow boobs. I can´t wait to get 28F!

Get this bra if you are full on top, but not if your fullness is primarily on bottom. The shape is similar to the Curvy Kate Tease Me, although higher at the gore as well as the wing. This suits me surprisingly well but would be a deal breaker for many.
The lined, 3-part vertical seaming construction gives me great lift & support.
The straps are very wide-set, which doesn't bother me except it limits wearing with some sleeveless tops. The straps are also quite wide, but they are comfy.
I bought it on eBay, and tried it on several times, but I really need to size down in the cup. It's probably true to size.
The band seems true to size and feels good.
The clasp is 3 hooks (angels sing).
Final analysis: I will be stalking this and all similar styles in 34GG.

I really like this bra and I think it is my favourite to date (the cream colour is beautiful!). The cups are soft yet comfortable and supportive, giving a lovely shape under tops. The gore did not poke into me, a problem I have due to a round breast shape, and sat flat against my chest. I mainly love it for the band which is the most comfortable one I have, with 3 cusps for GG+ cups.

This is one of my favourite bras. Beautiful material, a sexy look yet incredibly comfortable and supportive. I never expected to gain so much support out of a plunge! My rounded breast shape means that I often have problems with the gore fitting the sternum; this one sit further down, and so no poking into breast tissue leaving marks and lays completely flat. The 3-cusps bra band (in bras from GG+) makes the band sits very comfortably around my ribcage, like second skin. Upon changing from an incorrectly measured 34inch to 30inch, after 8 weeks, I have found the band still true to size. Unfortunately, tissue migration has occurred as is now giving a slight quadboob effect. I shall order this bra in a 30H though.

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.

not as soft as I would like

Updated on Feb 26, 2013 Flag this

This is the worst bra I've ever tried! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Literally. And I cannot even blame it on the wrong size. I so thought I'd finally found the bra to make my lingerie wardrobe complete but it was really just a waste of money ordering it.

The band is nice and snug, some of the better in my size for me, and I'm usually between a 26 and a 28-band. There is "just" three settings in the back but they are about twice the distance apart to usual which will make it more adjustable than most bras. The elastic is wide and the ... band is very comfortable.

The cups however... I've uploaded pictures to show how triangular it is. Now, I do need the wires to go to the middle of my sides approximately, so this triangular thing isn't really something I worry about, but in this case... The back doesn't have much stretch so it is close to this triangular when wearing it as well.

The cups are so wide that they reach to the edge of my back almost. They are also so shallow that there is no room at all at the bottom of the cups when they need to reach around me and bend with my ribcage. No room at all. The armhole are cut so straight and are so high that my arms are pushing the bra down creating even more wrinkles, apart from it trying to cut of my arm. Not rub a bit or be in the way when I reach forward. Cutting off.

At the same time the cups are too small in the front. It is cutting painfully into my boobs at the cleavage because my breast tissue just doesn't fit into the cups. I'm quite shallow and wide, but this bra is waaaay too shallow and wide even for me. The siluette is really east/west and, the most minimizing/flattening I've had in a very long time. With a top on it looks like I'm in my Shock-Absorber... https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_confused.gif" alt=":S" />

It is definitely going back. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone close to my size. Might be better in other sizes but in a 28J there is just something serious wrong with it.

This bra... is a conundrum. First off, I get enormous wrinkling at the bottom. It is insanely noticeable. No quadraboob though. Yay? I guess my boobs are a bit too close for the center gore, so it doesn't want to lay flat.

I'd say this is about as opposite to an Ewa bra as you can get! It does a pretty good job of smashing my breasts flat to my chest. Not a bad thing at all, in fact I have been wanting a bra that fits properly like that.

The fabric on this bra is a dream! Seriously, I wish all my bras had amazingly soft fabric like this one!

I am kinda tempted to keep it even though there is so much wrinkling at the bottom and the gore doesn't lay flat. Other than those problems and the fact that it feels like it is lacking a bit in the support department, I am just so tempted to like it.

I ordered the Satine both in black and in blue. Since their measurements differ only marginally, I won't write two seperate reviews. You should be able to see my review on the exact same page as this.
This is the blue Satine.

I ordered the Satine both in black and in blue. Since their measurements differ only marginally, I won't write two seperate reviews. I noticed that the blue colorway had a slightly higher center gore and wings, while the other measurements were identical.
The bra to which this review belongs is the black one but that doesn't mean the blue one fit any differently.

This bra came up at least a cupsize too small on me.
I have empty space at the bottom of the cups, where they are too shallow for my boobs. The wires don't feel too wide or small, though.
Obviously, I can't vouch for this, as the fit of ... the bra is off, but it seems to give a natural rounded shape.
The band is nice and tight and closes with three sets of hooks and eyes.
The straps are plain and made from a very stretchy fabric.
Both the band and the straps feel very comfortable to me.
In the black colour, I think the shiny fabric looks very glamorous and elegant, but the dark blue was just too shiny for my taste.
The Satine is probably better suited for those full on top, other shapes might have to size up.
Sadly, that's not possible for me because it doesn't go over a J and I don't want to compromise on the band fit.
If it was ever available in a 28JJ, I would immediately snatch it up! I'm a sucker for plunge bras.

I love this bra. It comes up a bit higher, but is still generally a balconette style. The band remains firm during the day, and the underwires do not dig into my flesh at either end. The fabric is soft, especially on the straps, and the wings are reinforced with a good interfacing. The color is a bit bright, so it does not hide well if only part of the straps are showing, and the embroidery is not good under clingy tops.

This bra is definetely too small on me but I might have some shape issues, too.
Major quadboobing, empty space at the bottom of the cups and the centre gore sat on my breast tissue.
Compared to a Freya Deco Strapless, this bra's beige seems slightly orange/flesh-toned, not brownish.
I can't really say that much about it, sorry, it was just so small on me.
Maybe this bra is better suited for women with wide-set breasts?

What a disappointment. I was so hoping that I could finally wear moulded bras again but alas this just did not work. If you want an extreme minimizer this is the bra for you. I looked so small from the profile and from the front I look wide. It pushed my breast to the sides towards the armpits. On the plus side I would say its true to Bravissimo's sizing and it was so comfortable. It also had great coverage and held the girls in place but not too high up so you can wear a v-neck with this bra. Sadly I have to return this bra because its just too minimizing of a shape and too east-west for me. I guess I have to stick with seamed bras to pull the girls forward.

This bra is perfect for me - except I get quadboob in it. The cups seem to come up about a cup size small. As far as I can tell in my too small cups, they seem to give a natural rounded shape.
The band feels nice and tight, having three hooks and eyes really makes a difference in comfort. The width of the wires encloses me better than Panache/Cleo wires do and doesn't leave space at sides I can't fill out. I love that the wires don't come up too high, no poking or digging in!
I like its appearance: The design is very simple but the embroidery and ... the sheerness keep it from being boring. I even like the pale lemon yellow on me. Yes, it makes me look pale but more in a Snowwhite way. The only thing that I dislike is the small purple bow in the middle but that could be easily removed.
Overall, I wish Bravissimo didn't discontinue this bra. I think it is awesome and many people would like it. Sadly, this bra is no longer available in a 30J, so I can't sistersize and just alter the band down.
I hope it will pop up somewhere in the internet, I would love to have a nice unpadded plunge.
