This seems to be a full coverage minimizer. Super soft, but definitely encourages my breasts to splay.

I received this as part of a large Figleaves purchase.
The colour is a beautiful turquoise-teal with a kind of satiny finish. The lace detailing is beautiful and seems thin and soft enough to not show under clothing. Overall a simple but beautiful bra.

The cups have "imbedded cookies" in them. This is the reason I will return this bra. My breasts are very asymmetrical. The cookie was perfect for adding enough volume to my smaller breast in order to fill the cup. However, there was significant quad-boob on my bigger breast! Too bad the cookies aren't removable...
The straps are also a little bit too thin for my comfort, and, ideally, the gore should be a little wider to better "hug" my breasts.

I purchased this before I knew my size. The bra material is silky, stretchy, and smooth. The tags are printed: if tags bother you, this may be a good bra. The lining is soft and thin, but does not hide prominent nipples.

This bra is extremely comfortable and the fabric is very soft! Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all yet my breasts are rounded and supported with little to no bounce. Fits great....for now. The issues... At a 30dd I am wearing day one on the largest hooks however I could easily adjust to the smallest hooks with no problem. The band could be tighter and sturdier. It fits now but I can see this bra stretching out very quickly. Also, the straps are the correct legnth currently at their smallest setting. It would be nice if they adjusted just a little bit smaller. Basically this is an excellent no show t shirt bra for the time being but I will likely size out of it very quickly. I bought it anyway because it fit and I found it in the same rack at Macy's for only 20 bucks! At that price it was worth it to me for now.

The band of this bra started out very firm. I needed an extender for the first 3 or so months of wear, but it was (and is) otherwise comfortable. I have some extra space at the top of the cup, but it doesn't bother me much. The bra gives a very smooth look under clothing and the fabric feels quite nice.

This bra sees like a nice bra but it originally didn't fit very well. The cups were too separated for me and the band was too large. I fixed the band by sewing a non stretch patch into both sides of the band and sewed the gore so that it is smaller and now this bra is amazing! My only issue is that the "customized lift" does not take into account that cup size is relative to band size. There was not much push up in the bra at all which is disappointing because push up bras are harder to find in this size. In general though I would say the bra was good quality and ran true to size.

I think it's a little too shallow for me. It's definitely a bit wide. I'm a bit hesitant to wear it as a strapless as it seems like it'd slip too much.

I bought this bra in a 30DD when I was a 28DD, as the band runs small (though it was still stretchy enough for me to wear when I went up to a 30). The fabric, a nylon-elastane blend, is very soft and smooth making the bra extremely comfortable. That said, even when stored carefully I found that the inner cups appeared to wrinkle (not a problem when worn). I am generally very happy with the quality.
Was also very pleased with the padding as it was enough to give me lift without displacing my breasts out of the bra. (For reference, I think my breasts are roughly even fullness if slightly FOB). Very sad that this doesn't fit any longer as I loved this bra enough to buy three of them.

I have this bra in a 30D, but the cups were way too small for me. I tried this one on in the store, and it was an absolute disaster! Never knew I could have quadboob like that even though the bra looks large when its just hanging there.

I think it would suit someone who is full on bottom very well because of the push up pad and top of the cups are somewhat closed.

First thing I thought was "This is way too tight!" Granted, I was used to the 30 band from Freya's Deco bra, which seems snug but not uncomfortable.

Walking around with this for a while it seems to have grown on me. Still feels tight, but I guess it's pretty stretchy.

I'm sad my bigger side is too big for the cup. This supposedly larger cup is smaller than my 30D Freya.

Quality's pretty good though.

The only fit issue with this bra is that I think the cups are too small for me. I do get some quad-boob (especially so if I scoop and swoop aggressively). The bra is padded, and the thickest areas seem to be about a 1/2 inch thick. The narrow straps make this a great bra for under tank tops, and the gore sits very low making it nice for anything with a plunging neckline. Regarding the hooks and eyes: the area behind the eyes is lightly padded. This little bit of cushioning is a wonderful feature as it makes the hooks nearly impossible to feel. This seems like a really nice basic bra: no-frills and figure-flattering. I definitely want to try it again in a 30E.

It's very comfortable, there's no itchy seams or pokey underwire. I like the shape of the cups too, it fits and covers better than a typical demi bra. The band does seem to stretch out a bit faster than my other bras.

This is the same bra I reviewed earlier but I went down a band and up a cup. The band on this is much tighter. I still have to put it on the tightest hook though. The straps did not get any better as I figured and will have to be altered again. The cups on this may actually be consider a tiny bit small on me, but once I wear it for about an hour my breast tissue distributes. This is my best fitting bra and still my favorite.

Fits very well on me, and eliminated my back pain.

Straps became itchy, causing red marks, within 15 minutes of wearing. Cup shape is wrong for me.

My size 30D in this bra is almost perfect, so I decided to try sizing up and am happy to find the 30DD works great. It's comfy to wear all day and creates a nice shape. It is one of the best solutions I have found in my 2013 quest for some everyday bras that fit!

I wish the underwire went further up on the sides, otherwise I love this bra. Was the first bra with a <32 band size that I was ever fitted in and still the most comfortable.

It would be better if it had wider straps...but you can't have everything, I suppose...

Probably my favourite bra of all time, this bra fits perfectly except the band is too large for my 25 inch ribcage.
I used to wear this in a 30D (Had 5), but have outgrown them a bit.

The underwires are wide and the cups are pretty shallow, like Panache bras, so it would not work for people who are full on top since the elastic sewn at the top edge would cut in.

My joy of having found a nude bra for white shirts has not lasted long. XD Now I only have a small few white shirts and come to find out the one I took the pictures with is the only white shirt of mine where it doesn't show. I should've known though since it quite apparent in the pics this is still not a true nude for my skin tone. It is still wearable and yes this is supposed to create cleavage and oomph. However, it now goes beyond cleavage and oomph to quad boob that shows through shirts.

It still serves a purpose though and I don't regret buying it. I have other shirts that can make use of the uber oomph it gives my boobs and now I don't have to worry about getting black dye transfer on it! woohoo!
