This is a good bra. I quadboob just a little bit in it though. It also may be a bit shallow in the bottom of the cups.

My first (almost) well fitting bra! This one encloses my breasts perfectly and there's almost no gaping on top, so absolutely perfect for me shallow, FoB, wide root breasts. Only small complaint on the fit is that the straps fall every now and then (though not nearly as bad as with the 32C, so I'm happy!).

As for the bra itself, I love how soft and comfortable it is. It is also very pretty in the black, red and golden color.

My shape: soft, deflated, full on bottom with tall shallow top, measure to 36E

This is a beautiful bra. I got the vanilla, and the big pink bow with lace cups is so frilly and girly for those days that I want to feel extra pretty. This style is known to be very compatible for shallow breasts. The wires do not run too wide, and the apex is positioned well. The inside cup is soft cotton with one vertical seam. On paper, this is a perfect fit, but I feel insecure with the open tops. Sometimes, it feels like I might fall out or need to pull up the cups, but when I check everything is still in place. Also, the straps are fairly thin and split into two spaghetti-thin straps in front. The mesh band is stretchy but supportive.

Going off the shallow breasts guide from r/abrathatfits, I decided to try b.tempt'd's ciao bella balconette. (I should be wearing a 28DD or 28E, according to my measurements, but am easing myself into the proper size by trying a few 30 band sizes first. I had been wearing 34B, so this was a shock!)

Most of the month, this fits pretty well. The straps are a little too wide-set for my narrow shoulders, but that happens with most bras. Strangely, the straps are almost TOO short, which I'm hoping won't mean they'll stretch way out like most of my old bras. The lace is pretty and doesn't show beneath dresses and thick tops, but is definitely visible beneath tees.

For about a week around my cycle, though, it is too small. (Oh PMS--some people have emotional symptoms, I just have bloating and weird boobs.) Since it's a balconette, it's not immediately apparent that spring is busting out all over, but it clearly looks and fits differently then.

I wasn't overly interested in the looks of this bra but I needed a lighter colored plunge pushup in a small band size so decided to try this. Kind of strange fabric, it seems to be made of neoprene (aka wetsuit fabric)... this is firm fabric and doesn't allow a lot of give in the band. Also, the band is true to size. I measure for a 28 band size (26.5" ribcage) and accordingly, I have to wear this bra (size 30D) on the middle hook instead of the loosest.

Love the colors though. The straps are very narrow (3/8") which I don't prefer in ... any bra; I like at least 1/2" and preferably 5/8" because I find them more comfortable. The scallops along the top cup edges are kind of odd, but they are obviously an attempt at adding interest and they don't seem to show through clothes. This bra has bump pads integrated into the bottoms of the cups which give a definite cleavage boost and may cause boobs to fall towards the center if they are soft, so watch for that. Overall a comfortable bra with decent shaping.

I ordered this bra because the regular Ciao Bella fits pretty well on my shallow-ish, wide-ish breasts and I wanted a T-shirt version. However, the shape of this bra is not the same as the regular Ciao Bella. The contour cup on this bra expects more projection on the inside of the breasts so I have gapping in the part of the cups closest to the gore.

This bra would fit me well if the wire was not so high in the middle, wires sit on top of breast tissue between breasts due to a very tall gore. I do not find the lace to be itchy and it provides enough coverage for me, especially when wearing looser fitting tops.

Really nice and comfortable, the 30 band is just too big since I'm supposed to be 26/28. It's super cute, seems to give nice lift and shape, I'm really sad I can't keep it.

Super cute! I found that the 32D with the padding removed fit better than the 32DD with the pads added, probably because I'm full on the bottom. Has a nice, forward shape- I look skinnier wearing this bra than any other bra I own.

I heard a lot of recommendations to try out this bra because I guess I have shallower breasts and a wider torso. My measurements put me closer to a 28C/D or a 30 B/C and I tried this in a 30C.

My left boob is slightly larger than my right boob, and because of this, one cup is filled about perfectly whereas the other definitely has a little extra space just in the top of the cup. The seams on the top edge of the cup tend to cut a little closer to the breast, but because I don't fill it quite perfectly, it doesn't create any quad-boob effect. ... This bra tends to make my boobs feel a little pointier and not as full or upright as I had hoped, especially in the extra room of the cup of my right boob where I don't fill it in all the way. Luckily, I have extra mini pillow pads left from another bra that I inserted into the bottom of the cup and I seem to fill it a little better.

The band is tighter but I'm currently wearing it on the tightest setting because if I have it any looser, I feel like the bra will ride up in front if I lift my arms. The white/nude lace color is very pretty though, and I will say it's about a 90% fit. The straps and bra feel very cool and silky light! I'm still getting used to the gore being more against my sternum since I've dropped down from a previous wrong measurement of a 32A.

I've had this bra about two months. After washing it the first time in the washing machine the decorative trim kinda started to come off at the bottom or the gore, couple stitches and a cute button fixed this easily. Very comfortable bra though

I have small, shallow, wide boobs. I tried this bra on a whim (plunge /and/ a pushup?), and was so surprised when it actually fit.

This is a very plain bra. It's moulded and made of a very smooth material, so it makes a fantastic t-shirt bra. The fabric is soft, stretchy, and isn't itchy anywhere. The straps fully adjust, and can be converted to halter and racerback style.

The pushup pad in the bottom of the bra is substantial, though perhaps not quite as big as the Pour Moi Amour Padded (PM-1500) that I tried on a while back.

The color leaves ... something to be desired (not a fan of the bright salmon), and the scalloping on the inside edge of the cups is a little goofy.

I only had one major complaint about this bra: where the straps meet the top of the cups is incredibly pokey/irritating. Some of it went away after washing a couple of times. The rest was softened after I took a rough nail file to the pokey edge. Having taken care of that, though, I don't really have any complaints about this bra.

My underbust measures 26.5" supertight and 28" snug; I wear this bra comfortably on the tightest hook. I hope the band doesn't stretch out too much over time.

Similar to the Express Yourself Coutour, but with unlined lace cups. Only a little bit see-through in the natural color. Fit is great except the cups are slightly loose on the top...especially on one side, since the cups don't stretch much to allow for asymmetrical breasts. Nice thick band that probably won't cut into the skin too much.

The best thing about this bra? It fits. Not only did it fit (after two hours trying every cup in the place, I wouldnt recommend the plastic.... That poor sale's associate.), it fits like the gods assembled that 86% Nylon/ 14% Spandex bra just for my body. Honestly, I forgot I wore a bra most of the time... It just became apart of me. Who I am, what I stood for, and everything flattering to inelegant; this bra embraced it all. During our journey together (two and a half years), my weight yo yo (yo) -ed about 15 pounds and this demi desire was all, bring it!! So ... it was brung and we don't like writing about it. I did everything wrong with this bra, wore it way too much in a week (all the weeks), may have exercised in it once or four times, put it in the drier without a bra safety friend bag, and the like; but its just now breaking down. When this bra returns to the gods I'm going to have a viking braial, it would like that.

However, there is a wire on the band under the armpit region that sometimes folds and actively stabs you... I'm pretty sure it's unintentional... And the straps might be a bit awkward and digging into your soul/ top of shoulders... but they are rather thin... they cant help it!! It has abandonment issues... or lazy. Fuck you lazy Desire! What kind of name is Desire anyways? You stripper bra! (Note these discomforts are not an every minute all day sort of things. Its just a temperamental bra. Now you know what b'tempt'd stands for. (Plus all this stuff is rather recent... I blame the drier.. and maybe other stuff.. like that chair.. Fucking chair fucking up my bras.))

At the reflection pool: I am going to buy this bra again. It lifts in all the right places, it can withstand a crazy bitch fit, it's cute (I mean look at the lace!! So lacey) It gives my breast a great round (uncone/tunnel) look. I really don't have a lot of cleavage shirts but the few I do... This bra rises to the occasion very nicely.

Bra, I like you.

Very pretty but this is completely the wrong size. I unfortunately bought this when I was too intimidated to ask a saleswoman for my actual size. Anyway, the only real fit issue is the band size being way too big. The lace on the sides is beautiful, I really wish Wacoal made 28 bands. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This bra is beautiful, the lace cups are lovely and completely hidden under tops including form fitting.
The band is too large for me and the cups too small. The underwire is not fully under my boobs, the underwire does cut in going in toward the gore.

This bra in Btempt does not go beyond a DDD cup.

Macy's put me in this size. It's pretty laughable looking on me. I had to remove the padding inserts cause they make it ridiculous.

This is the first B.Tempt'D bra I've bought, but I love Wacoal. I have yet to get a bra from them that wasn't awesome. This one has a quite a bit of padding, and -- if at all possible -- you might want to try on the next cup size up just to be sure. Nevertheless, it's quite comfortable. The band stretches a bit over the course of a day, but not enough to become too loose. It's got a medium sized lace bow on the front, which may not work well under tighter shirts. However, it doesn't show under a unisex T-shirt or a blouse.

Overall, I'm very satisfied.

This bra has lacy cups made of a spandex/nylon material that is NOT foam, which means it breathes really well. Because it has no rigid foam cups, it conforms to you instead of the reverse. This bra is quite pretty in red lace with a tiny bow in the center front. It is also very comfortable. What more can you ask for in a bra? Beauty, and comfort. It is also reasonably flattering and I am happy that it is not an enhancer, just a supporter.

This bra fits me well except for the band. The straps are very adjustable. The band is pretty snug and should be more comfortable with an extender. The center gore sits flat but digs in a little, probably due to the tightness of the band
