I never thought in a million years I'd find a wire-free, non-stretch bra to fit me since I have slightly uneven breast size and shape. I bought a 34C and altered the band to a 32D. If this bra came already as a 32D, I'd buy two in every color! Creates a vintage pointed bra look on me, might be different for other shapes. The straps feel great on my sensitive and broad shoulders.
This appears to just be the 203 style with a layer of silk over the top to try and make it "invisible". You can still see the ribbing underneath. I normally wear a 28-30F. The 32" band felt too tight. The D cup was way too small, it didn't come close to tacking. There was no gaping at the top (in the natural position where the gore sits an inch away from my sternum), but there is nothing holding the cups in and the cups were way too separate. I think it is designed to not have a tacking gore. Gives a pretty bad muffin bottom. I think it is just the poor design of these low back bustiers, since there is no support behind the breasts pulling the gore forward since the back is 3 inches under the gore. Avoid this type of model
Awesome! Comfortable, great uplift, great shape, smoothing effect on tummy but does not compress or dig. Side boning precludes lounging or curling up on couch, but is super comfy when you're out and about. Cooler than I expected--wore this on a 90 degree summer day and it was no warmer than most other unpadded bras. Allows moderately low cut V necks.
Probably not the best made bra in the world, but it serves its purpose. Really nice under t's and tanks. No gapping. Not expensive. Good every day bra.
Fits very "retro" like, aka: bullet-like. Cup padding feels more like the stuff you put in quilts. Very scratchy inside cups. Good for $8 though. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This bra is one of those low low back bras. It's really high quality from what I can tell and the band is sooo tight I almost can't close it. The cups are far too wide and don't come all the way to my body... so I don't have a great fit set, but the cups needed to be more projected and outer on the sides of the cup.

Borrowed this bra to add to Bratabase. It is too small for me so I couldn't try it on. But, it dosen't seem like it would be very supportive with such a thin, 2 hook band and tiny straps. It has padded, push-up, foam cups. Not sure I'd call it a 'plunge' but, it does seem kind of low down to the top of the lacy center gore. The thing with this bra is that there is nothing to the band or straps so I can't see how it could really 'push-up' anything with out being anchored down with a supportive band.
This bra is a nice everyday bra, I would not recommend this as a sports bra by any means. It fits like a regular bra in the cups and has great immediate projection. The band is very firm. So firm that it actually slides down towards my waist...
I like the fabric's pattern :-)
