I have shallow conical breasts that was measured at a 28DD. I was so happy to find a strapless bra that did not have tons of padding in it. The best part about this bra is that you have 3 different options (on each cup) for where you can attach the straps. There are places to insert the straps close to the center of the bra, which really helps with certain kinds of tops, as well as a mid-length, and a wide placement. I got really excited about this because I didn't notice when I bought it, and have never had a bra that could do this. I ... originally bought the color Praline and was so excited that I bought another bra in black. The downsides for me - the cups are pretty shallow, and the band is a bit too large for me (27" ribcage) so it tends to ride down. I probably need to wear this on the second or tightest hook especially for when wearing strapless, but the loosest hook is adequate for when I use the straps.

I have shallow conical breasts that was measured at a 28DD. This bra fits my shape pretty well! However, there is some slight gapping at the top (more on my smaller side). I am going to order a 30C to compare and see if I need to go down a size. The band is pretty stretchy and slightly too big for me (27" ribcage). This is such a cute bra and the color I got (Blue Sapphire) is beautiful. I am definitely keeping at least one of the bras (30C or 30D), even if there is some slight gapping. It is also very comfortable and doesn't cut in anywhere.
Update: 30C was too small - apex was too low for my nipples. Keeping the slightly gapping 30D!

Close-set, inner fullness, wide root, tall root, functionally FoB, shallow, narrow shoulders.
This bra fits me pretty well, and feels wonderfully constructed. It's practically invisible under clothing because of the super sleek edges, and I was all set and ready to use it as one of my everyday bras - until I tested it out by wearing it around the house for an hour or so and concluded the bra wanted to murder me. The top of the cup, where it meets the strap, is incredibly inflexible and sharp, and dug painfully into my Tail of Spence. The skin was red and irritated even after a short while; I shudder to think of how bad it might have been if I'd worn it for a full day.
This bra may work wonderfully for someone with a different build, but I'm going to be returning it.
(I'm 0 for 3 as far as b.tempt'd goes. I think this brand might not be for me...)

My favorite strapless bra up to this point and it's the second one I've owned in this model. Not perfect but the closest thing to it, for me. The band is just right, the cups give a nice rounded and uplifted shape, the wires are the correct width, the color is a near perfect match for my skin.
The cups are "closed" at the top edge and run a full size small. I wear a 30C in most of my other current bras, and the cup depth of this 30D bra (6.5") is consistent with C sizing. The one thing I would change with this bra is the bump pads; they are just slightly thicker than I care for in a strapless. Other than that I think this bra is underrated as a strapless for smaller sizes.

The 30 band fits me even though I usually wear 28. The balconette shape works pretty well for my wide, splayed, soft breasts, although I wish the sides went a bit further up. The cup edges seem to sometimes steer away from my breasts. The lace appears to exacerbate this problem. But overall, this is a bra I can wear all day on most days without much pain.

This was not a good bra for my shape. While it had the correct amount of wire breadth and projection for my broad rooted and shallow shape it did not provide enough coverage for my tall roots. This bra is for people who have short and broad roots in addition to a shallow shape.
I also really did not like the fact that the underwires at the gore were hurting my sternum.

I really like this bra. I was a bit worried the wires wouldn't be wide enough seeing the measurements here, because my other bras seem a bit wider. But they fit beautifully, I think because the wires are more flexible maybe?
The band is tight enough for me, but is probably a bit stretchy for some people. (I like to wear 30D with more stretchy bands and 32C with more tight bands).
The bow can be a little bit itchy sometimes, and I don't like that the straps are partially stretchable. It is hard to adjust them, a tiny bit to tight and they pull on my bra if I lift my arms, a tiny bit to loose and the straps fall of my shoulders.
But other than that it is a comfortable and pretty bra. One of my best fits for my slightly shallow and short rooted breasts.

I reviewed this in 30DD first.....I LOVE that one, but the 30D seems like almost a different bra. Something about it appeared disproportionate to me...like they shrunk it down to fit that size, without really thinking about how it would translate. I need short cups, but those were way too short. They were definitely too small and gave me serious quad boob, so I think the D runs small. (In contrast the DD seems about true to size). The band seems true to size. The wings weren't high enough for me. If I had tried the 30D first, I never would have tried a different size, because it really was that different and I didn't like it at all, even before I put it on. In contrast, I fell in love with the 30DD as soon as I opened the package!

Excellent for shallow shapes. It sits just high enough that it encompasses my lower tissue but not so high that I get gaping. It is visible under thin clothing.

This bra is really aesthetically pleasing. While I prefer dark colors, I decided to get a pretty light color for special occasions. The color did not disappoint: it's a nice sort of rosy, creamy color with the white lace overlay, which makes for a very modest look for me. And the lace was not scratchy at all.
This bra fits really well, I would say an almost perfect fit, if it weren't for the straps that are far apart and slip off from my shoulders (but so do the straps of my other bras and spaghetti strapped dresses and blouses), and the very slight quadboobing that happens when scooping ... and swooping a lot. However, the quadboob isn't really bothersome for me, since it's not noticeable because of the lace and the smaller breast's cup lies flush against the top. Plus, it gives my breasts a very nice rounded shape.
Wearing it for a whole day, there was absolutely no gaping, pinching, poking, or painful marks, and there was no need to adjust the band at all. Usually comfortable with a 28 band, I was expecting this 30 band to move, but it didnt, even on the loosest hooks. The only adjusting was getting the straps to not slip from my shoulders.
Overall, it is a beautiful bra that gives me a very nice shape and fits comfortably after wearing it all day.

This is indeed a "fabulous" spacer bra. I was specifically looking for a lightweight, relatively comfortable bra I could use when working around the house and this one fits the bill. Originally I thought I would go wire-free, but wire free bras cause me to get achiness around my boobs after several hours' wear because of the compression and lack of support.
I'd been eyeing this bra for a few months and I'm glad I gave it a try. I am right between cup sizes, as usual, so there is a bit of space in the tops of the cups. That is common ... for me with contour cups, but it is not noticeable and doesn't seem to affect the support. Were I to go down a cup size that top edge would definitely cut into me. Interestingly, you can see this "bubble" of space on most of the model photos so this may just be the shape of this bra.
The molded spacer fabric is very soft, thin, and light -- not at all like regular molded contour cups, which can sometimes feel like cardboard. These cups are stretchy and so they don't provide firm support like my seamed bras -- nor did I expect them to do so. Again, since this is an "at home" bra for me, this wasn't an issue but it may be for others.
The band is just firm enough; I anticipate moving in to the middle hook within a few months. It has a lot of give in it, and I was very surprised that it stretched to only 28.5 inches because I've had other bras that measure 28.5-29" that are almost painful to wear; obviously they must be much firmer fabric.
This bra overall seems like it will wear faster than some others, namely my Cleo ones, which again is okay for what it is. On the whole I'm happy with this purchase and I will probably order this again.
UPDATE:
I never wear this bra because the underside of the straps is very scratchy. They are finished in such an odd way... instead of being either 1) conventional strapping elastic or 2) fabric covered straps, the front straps are strips of trimming that are bound on the underside and then stitched along their length (see photo). It feels okay at first but within an hour or two I have to take the bra off because that stitching is painful on my shoulders. I won't order this again.

This bra is highly comfortable, and if it weren't for the shape issue, I would love it. The wires are perfect, the band doesn't ride up, but there is one problem—I don't fill out the top of the cups. Since this is a t-shirt bra made with memory foam this is not an issue for me. I'll keep it and wear it anyhow, especially since I hardly know it's there when it's on. The lace at the top is barely noticeable when worn with a thin shirt, which is a con for some.

This didn't quite work for me. The band wasn't tight enough at the tightest hook and the straps were a bit too loose for my liking at the absolute shortest. And then there's the cups. It may be because it was stored in such a way that the seams were very angled, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't filling the cup all the way at the seams. I guess it was a bit too projected for me? I'm rather disappointed, but I have a 30C on the way, and hopefully the cups don't narrow too much.
It's not a bad looking bra. The apex of my breasts are rather low, too low for this bra, so I probably just need to size down in balconettes.

Pros: a beautiful bra with contrasting black and crimson lace and red dots. Firm strap support, nicely shaped cup.
Cons: The bra is for girls with a fuller upper bust. I am not full on top and it creates some gap. Also the wire under the arms goes too much towards the back for me.

This bra is pretty much perfect. It has broad, but not too broad wires. It is shallow but not too shallow. It is neither too closed nor too open at the top of the cups. The cups are the right distance apart for my far apart spaced breasts. The gore is not too high.

I've owned this bra in so many variations that this review is like visiting an old friend.
This is a pretty standard, all around decent bra. I wouldn't recommend it for shallow breasts and especially not for someone who doesn't have the time to hand wash it with care, a washing machine is like a guillotine for this bra! Excellent r shirt bra.

What color did you get it in? I am thinking about getting the bra in Naturally Nude/Ivory cause I'm looking for a cream colored bra.
