I usually prefer taller cups, but this bra was a surprisingly good shape match for me. The fabric used for the gore isn't stiff at all, and the cups are made of memory foam! It really feels like the foam is working with my breast shape rather than against it. The band is larger than I expected, however, and stretches quite a bit more than anticipated.
Good: this bra has almost everything I like and need. Light material with moderate stretch, cups neither too wide nor too tall, comfortable straps, natural rounded shape. Not so good: price. Lace (but it's geometric, so a bit more to my taste). Very similar in fit, comfort and shape to the Chantelle Saint Michel Back Smoothing (2721) (which is the one I'll keep because it was half price).
Bought even though it was too small. The cups are not high enough nor wide enough, and there is a lot of overspill on the sides, but the build/fabric quality is nice and it does hold me in very well, even though the size is too small. The gore does not tack, it but looks like an uni boob shape anyways. Cannot see if I fill the bottom of cups, but there is some wrinkling. The band quality is very strong and not super elastic. Would try this in a bigger cup size, maybe one less than my actual size.
I really like the back band on this bra: 4 rows of 3 hooks for support; smooth flat lace that doesn't show under clothes; the straps are cleverly connected to the band vertically so there is no curve to the bottom of the strap. It works nicely to control back fat, and at the same time kicks the straps in to keep them from sliding off the shoulders. The cups are thin traditional foam; they don't add extra bulk. They have the thickness and feel of a spacer cup, but because it has the 'old fashioned' type of foam it's actually better at hiding prominent nipples. The bandless ...front is great for a short torso.
BUT...it is designed for tall, shallow roots. (It wasn't quite so obvious by the measurements alone.) The cups are too tall for me and the underwire is long and sits well below my IMF. Appearance wise, it's not a fancy bra or even sexy. But the Light Purple/Periwinkle color is beautiful! A little bit of color while still being neutral enough to blend under most clothes.

Even though this bra doesn't tack and requires occasional adjustment throughout the day, it is my favorite bra I've encountered so far. It gives an up front rounded shape which is what I prefer. I should try this in the next cup size up I think. No padding, sheer cups that aren't very stretchy.
I've gained weight since I purchased this bra, so it no longer fits all that well. However, it is a pretty bra, so I am not giving it up! The main problem is that the cups are set too far apart (too wide a gore) that it creates a quad boob of my right breast. And I even fall out of the cup at times, so... I should give it up. But the cup encloses my breast well on the sides. Hence, I wear the bra with slightly looser straps, adjust the bra to fit my right breast that is bigger than the left, and deal with the slight misfit in the left.

This is a pretty and flattering bra. Unfortunately for me, the band is too loose, so I don't feel supported adequately. Otherwise, it might have been a nearly perfect bra for me.
Though this bra isn't perfect, I still like it enough to own multiples of it in several colors. The design is nice. The cup's fabric and structure provide good support, even though the band only has one hook. I do wish the cup was fuller in the bottom because my fuller bottom breasts don't sit quite well in the cups. It's the whole orange in a not quite wide-enough goblet effect. Depending on the day of my cycle, the right cup results in a quad-boob, but the left cup fits in a perfect fit.
The only reason I own this bra is because I needed it for mundane tasks around the house and my wonderful mother-in-law took time out of her day to buy it for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It's okay for house/yard work and going to the mailbox. Not the best fit. Kinda weird fit actually, but none the less, okay. The underwires are too far up my armpits (grrr) but still sit nicely on my ribcage....sorta. They're good up until it curves up to the center gore and strangely pushes outward causing my boobs to be pushed together....which means it doesn't completely sit flat on my ribcage.
This was a favorite for M-F work hours under white button-downs. Lace detail was just enough for me to feel pretty while the nude color and low profile made it perfect for work modesty. Only wish would be for 3 hooks to make this bra a perfect 10. Worn for about 4 months, until pregnancy changed everything. Held onto for awhile hoping that I'd eventually be able to fit back in, but no.
This is the second bra in this style I picked up for my pregnancy boobs. The three part cup consists of a flexible fabric with a soft comfortable lining. Great for my size changing breasts. This is a full coverage bra perfect for containing everything. I feel lifted and separated. I do find the wires a bit long under my arm pits, but nothing I can't handle. The straps are well placed and the strap thickness just right to carry the load. Straps are fully adjustable. I feel this gives a natural-rounded shape on me. I feel snug and secure in the cups which helps with the soreness I'm currently experiencing. Overall a solid buy and the quality is very nice. I believe this is in the color Cappuccino. It is a light ivory color with a tan lining.
This bra is terrible on my slope breasts. It was both gapping at the top and corners while giving quadraboob. The bra itself (the mesh) also gave me quadraboob. I would not recommend.
I prefer wearing bras with molded cups, and I like plunges, so I was pretty excited to try this bra.
Pros: Felt like really nice quality – the wires are padded, and the fabric is silky smooth. I have wide-rooted, shallow boobs – I was able to fill out the bottom of the cup fine, and there was no quadboob or gap at the top. The band feels snug on the loosest setting. Since I normally wear 28/30, this was nice. The straps don't feel too far apart.
Cons: The 65E is the equivalent of a 30DD, which is a cup size down from my usual size. Despite the cup fitting well in the top/bottom, I feel like the cup is too narrow, because it digs into my skin and gives me armpit fat. I wish this bra came in larger cup sizes, so I could see if the larger size would work better for me.
Shows signs of wear, there are slight discolorations around the armpit, but since it’s a dark color, they are hardly noticeable. Overall condition : okay. I’m selling all my bras since I’ve gone braless for a year.
Fits well enough. Slight quadding on top when the bra is new due to the elastic along the top of the cup, but once that stretches it's fine. It's my daily driver, but that's only because it's what I can find that fits-ish.
This bra is not my size. I should wear the 70DD/70E.
However, I do not think this bra would fit my shape even if I went up a cup size as it cuts a LOT on the inner tops of the cups, as if it were several cup sizes smaller. Maybe this model is better for boobs with shorter roots, less top tissue or less inner fullness.
Seems to be good quality and the different texture of the band and the metal charm give it a look of elegance.
