This is all together a pretty good bra. I did not get cleavage as I would have liked and believe I'm in between the 30 and 32 band size. The 32 band would have fit on one of the tighter hooks and the 30 band was a little too tight on the loosest for comfort. The fabric seems like it could be a bit itchy and it will show through any tight fitting tees. I initially bought it but decided after trying it on the fit was not good enough for the $68 I paid at nordstroms.

On a separate note the saleslady gave me a molded version of this try on in 32... the band was more stretchy and I clearly needed a 30 but they didn't have one. I have yet to find the model for that one.

I ordered this bra as an exchange for the Chantelle Rive Gauche 3-part Cup. The gore on that bra was too high and separate for me, so I tried this plunge. I really want to like it, but I think that it's just not right for my shape. (Thank you, Bratabase, for teaching me more about what that means!)

If you like a firmer band, this bra has one. Bratabase overall has it listed as "stretchy," but that hasn't been my experience. To me, it feels quite firm and a bit small, so consider sizing up. The straps are tricky to adjust because they are ridge-y, but once they're ... adjusted... they're adjusted. They're also angled in the back so they stay on the shoulders nicely. I *love* the straps, so it's too bad that nothing else about this bra quite works.

The cups are thin, lined, and nicely made, although less soft than the Rive Gauche lace. They feel more synthetic, if that makes sense. The wires (as usual) feel just a bit too low and narrow for me, and the cups look orange-in-a-glass wrinkled at the bottom unless I adjust over and over again. No problems with center spillage or the top edges of the cups, although I rarely have those concerns. The short gore tacks and has a pretty little charm, and while I'd say it's a plain bra overall, the scalloped lace and charm are nice details.

(I'll probably list this bra, so if you adore it and and are looking for a very lightly worn one, contact me and I'll be happy to swap.)

I had wrinkling on the top, either because the cup was too big or because I have shallow breasts and he plunge wasn't the best fit for me. Even though it stretched out, the band felt a bit tight, and the wire poked into my underbust so I ended up returning it.

This was the bra a fitter at Nordstrom used to determine my cup size. She said it's one of their "fit bras" and to.d me it fit me beautifully. Since I have never found a great-fitting non-padded, seamed bra, I bought this one right out of the fitting room. I would say that it's a 90% perfect fit. The wires ate the right length, the straps ate well-placed and adjust to a great length. And the straps are actually made of a soft, ribbon-lime, but almost ribbed material, which means that that they stay firmly in place once adjusted. The fabric is lovely for a simple, nude bra. It's pretty and almost lacey but not at all scratchy. I also love the detail on the center gore. It's a nice bra to wear under non-fitted shirts, tank tops, etc. for a minimal look. I wear it under some shirts that would look too tight or bulky with a moulded or padded bra underneath.

This bra is my go-to bra for comfort. I usually wear a 28 band, but this 30 band is small enough to stay put even on the loosest hook. The straps are not too wide and can be adjusted well for someone with a shorter torso than mine. I love the round shape it has, and I have yet to find a bra that shapes my breasts better than this one. I have no quadboobing, I fill the cups, and the gore sits flat. The only minor issue I have is that the wires are too wide for my narrow root, and that the material is a bit itchy for my sensitive skin if I rub against it too much. But I wear it as an everyday bra and it works great!

The band on this bra holds firmly and hits its maximum length quickly, so there's not a ton of leeway with that measurement.

I usually love plunge shapes, but I'm not sure this one is built correctly for my body. I don't have a lot of top or center fullness (cleavage is not a thing that happens on me ever) and though the top edge feels like the right size when pulled into place, it rapidly slides down and wrinkles the upper cup. (Now that I think about it, though, it could actually be that the elastic there is a bit too tight) Tightening the straps does help a fair amount, and the pleated ribbon on the strap prevents it from budging once it's been adjusted.

The shape is nicely round, but in a natural and relaxed kind of way without much lift. Despite the sexy styling of this bra, the impact when fully clothed is fairly modest.

The cups fit really great. (Only a bit of wrinkles in the top and the elastics at the edge cut in just a little, if we're being picky.) The band however was too big. I wish I could find the sister size.

The fabric was soft and sturdy, but the wires seemed somewhat weak.

Perfect fit except for the center gore. I have to adjust it every so often so I don't get red marks between my boobs.

Full coverage with nice plunge separation.

Oh my god, the gore on this bra is EVIL. It feels good for the first few hours, but gradually gets more uncomfortable. I was able to mostly fix this by bending the gore, but there's a part of me that just plain objects to having to...
