Candy La Vie is a Chinese brand specializing in "big cups". It's size range is 65-90C-K which roughly translate to UK 28-38 B-GG with bands and cups that run small, although availability varies with model. I have paid about USD29 for this bra and 2 bucks for shipping.

I have been eyeing this bra for a while because it is not common to see unlined bras in Asian brands. Most styles are foam-lined, seamed plunges. I hesitated between 65H and 65I as I had quad boobs and a floating gore in a 65G strapless bra from the same brand. My UK size is 28FF and this bra is too ... big / deep on my smaller side. I'm hoping I could fill out that extra space when I'm closer to my period.

This bra is unlined, with 3-part plunge cups and only vertical seams. This is why I chose this style and not other unlined plunges with horizontal seams that looked like the top section would cut into my tall roots and top fullness. I LOVE the extra layer of opaque lace in the middle section which conceals the nipples. I wish all unlined bras had that. The cups are narrow and projected, like Polish bras. They are also pretty open on top.

The wires are softer than the average UK bra. The gore is low with average width. I'm going to overlap the gore so the cups are closer for my super close-set boobs. These make the bra so comfortable.

The band is made of mesh that is much less sturdy than UK or Polish brands. So I expect this bra to stretch out more quickly, but with the price I think this is fair.

The straps are 2 thin elastics (I'm not sure how to measure them). They are really pretty but might be uncomfortable and unsupportive. Again, not expecting a lot with this price.

Overall I'm pleased with this bra (despite the cup being a little bit for my small side). A pretty and comfy bra that might not be the most supportive but great value for the price.
