Fits similar to the panache sports bra, but is a better fit for shorter boobs. Runs a little tight, and don't forget it's European sizing. Plan to swap this for a 70F.

Its in great shape - I've worn it twice, its just too small for me

My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.
I didn't like the fit on this bra because the top part cut into my breast tissue a little bit, seems too high and closed off for me. I wish it also went up a little higher in the wing. Bottom cup projection is not enough for me, so the bra doesn't stay in my IMF line and scoots down always. The wires are stiff, but wearable.
Some positives I found: band is comfortably snug in loosest hook, straps stay in place and I can adjust them fully, gore height is low and gore width is close together so good for my center full breasts.
Overall, I'm not keeping this bra since it cuts the top portion of my breast and doesn't have enough projection on the bottom for me.

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.

Even though the gore on this bra doesn't seem particularly wide, the cups sit so far apart on me! I like low coverage and get along with some plunges, but this one isn't working. The cups aren't giving me much support, but the band and straps don't offer much for me either. The band is a looser 30 and the straps are a bit stretchy and run longer.
I was hoping for a fit like Natori Feathers, but find this one a bit more difficult. Feathers isn't perfect but I find the cups conform to my shape and are pretty comfortable. In this bra there is empty space at the bottoms of the cups that folds over.
The lace on this bra is so pretty - wish it worked!

Beautiful bra, a bit on the shallow side. The cups are lower coverage, which I appreciate. The band is firm. The straps are cute but unsupportive.
I added a picture of some loose threads at the top of the cup. It seems like a construction issue so I am rating the quality low.

This bra is not the right size for me, as I am spilling out on the left side (my larger breast). Other than that, the bra is sexy and stays smooth under t-shirts.

I loved this as a real F. Well-made bra with good side support, great natural shape, beautiful color. Sexy AND comfortable! I lost some fullness on top recently which led to some gaping near the straps at first (and now the bra doesn't fit at all because I've lost some more weight) so if you're super fob maybe not for you...

Second bra I bought while finding out my true size. Very pretty, but too small!

This was my first bra in my "new" size. When I first bought this, it poked into the sides of my breasts really badly, but as my breast tissue moved from the armpit area back into my breast (since it wasn't being squished into a 36C), it became much more comfortable. My breasts have outgrown this bra actually! Now the cups are too small. Anyway, this was an extremely comfy bra that I would recommend, especially if you're trying to migrate breast tissue back to the breast.

Band is too big and cups are too small, and even on the smallest setting straps are WAY too long. I would probably really like this bra if they made it in a size that could fit me.

This is a surprisingly pretty everyday bra. It works great as a nude with my pale, slightly yellowish complexion. The small sparkly trinket and the pleated straps make for stylish details, and the fabric and lace are high quality and soft.
The bra gives a slightly minimised, natural shape, which is works well under flowy clothes. The gore is supper low, as could be expected from a plunge, and I guess it can be useful if you like deep necklines, but I don't really wear them, so cannot comment on that. The bra certainly doesn't give me any sort of alluring cleavage, but I wasn't after that. The wires ... are comfortable, don't poke anywhere, and sit flush on my chest. The width is perfect for me, but I don't think my roots are particularly narrow, so I'd say that's regular wire width, much like most Panache balconettes.
The band is snug, stretching to almost 28 in. Now, size conversions can be tricky - the band is true to size in the sense of measuring around 65cm when stretched-not-to-its-limits. However, by convention EU 65 translates to UK 30, and by that standard the band runs small.
The cups are also a bit small. I'm pretty sure there was a ribbon running along the edge, and I took it stop the cup from cutting into the tissue. It seems to have fixed most of my issues, although if I breath in deeply of keep my back unnaturally straight, I do get some quadboob. I also have a small problem with the horizontal seam cutting into the tissue on my bigger breast, but it's not noticeable under clothing. I'd be glad to try on a 65G when I get a chance, but I'm happy enough with 65F.

The cups are made of a mesh material similar to Freya Hero. But, unlike Hero, there is a thin fabric lining beneath that so that no skin is actually visible through the cups,

This bra has some minor fit issues on me.. tops of cups cut in slightly, cups slightly wide...
The wires seem more uncomfortable and stabby than with the bras I own. The band is surprisingly tight, considering it was bought used. The shape it gives me is lower set and more flattened than I like.
I was going to give this bra a try despite these things, but after a few hours on two separate days, the gore was killing me with how it was stabbing my chest https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This fits technically, maybe a tiny bit big in the cup but a smaller size would be too small I think. It is not comfortable though, I think the problem is with me. Digs in where the cup meets the strap (boobs not tall enough? I seem to having this problem a lot). Underwires are a bit too rigid for me, dig in especially at the gore. I feel like it would work if you have more boob volume/taller/rounder boobs and maybe more padding/fat. Such a shame because it is so nice!
I'm pretty much giving up on underwires and looking for half decent support wireless bras from now on.

I just got a Melinda g curvy small wireless bra. It probably would fit you depending on your rib age measurements. It's a nursing bra but it offers decent wireless support. The deco wireless might be one that would work for you too. I was searching for something more relaxed for sore days. Actually as far as wireless is concerned there are a lot more options
I'm pretty keen to try the Deco Wireless but it's expensive... I have considered buying maternity bras too, some just seem a bit bulky.
I tried on an Intimo mastectomy bra and it was pretty comfy but not great looking, way more coverage than I need or want.
On non-work days I've been wearing a Wacoal B'tempt'd bralette, nowhere near enough support but it's so comfy. Doesn't do anything for looks either, especially under clothes.
As this is the best-fitting bra I've ever owned, I'm a little giddy right now. So far the only problem I've encountered is that the underwire pokes my sternum a bit because the gore is a little high. Also, the bra will undoubtedly fit better at a different point in my menstrual cycle, i.e. when my breasts are a bit smaller.
The bra is very supportive, and quite nice appearance-wise. It doesn't have the granny look that many bras with unmoulded cups seem to have, which is much appreciated. I highly recommend it!
Edit after a month of owning the bra, and wearing it a few times: I'm not totally thrilled with the shape this gives me, though I think that may be because the bra is a little small. It's not quite quad-boob, but it pushes my breasts up in a weird way. Also, the underwires aren't quite the right shape for my ribcage, and I haven't tried bending them.

This bra is great—perfect for under practically anything.

This bra was excellent when I first purchased it, in fact I loved it so much that I bought four. The red and the teal have held up very well, however the beige both stretched out very quickly and had smaller cups to begin with(I ordered them online). One had a band that was 3/4" longer to begin with. The beige bras have always tended to give me a bit of quad boob, the red and teal do not. Additionally, after the beige bras stretched out some the horizontal seams on the cups have begun to dig in (because the seams did not stretch) and they now create ... an additional line across the upper breast, giving a sextuple boob effect. The beige bras also dig into my shoulders quite painfully, I had to adjust the sliders over the decorative strap piece in order to get them to the correct length for me on all of the bras, however the beige are the only ones which are uncomfortable on my shoulders. I have only had the beige ones for three months and I rotate bras so that no one bra gets worn more than two times a week. I do not think that they should have stretched out so quickly, especially since the red and teal ones which I have had for over a year are still perfect.
The red and teal I rate as excellent quality, comfort and appearance, the beige as wearable quality, meh comfort and excellent appearance.

One of the few I found that fits but I am not sure how well it will hold up for $80 USD. The very thin flimsy lace looks nice but appears very fragile. and also wrinkles even though the cups are full and the fit feels nice.

Straps are just a little too far apart for my narrow shoulders. Otherwise it was a pretty good fit.

Agree!! Everything you've said is why it's not working for me either. It fit ok for like 5 minutes and then you start to notice why it's not right.
