Wow. After all my raving about the Claudette Paramour Underwire Bra (101015008) , I figured I would test out some of their other bras, and conveniently the En Dentelle was on sale so I figured why not!
Here is why not: This is the most uncomfortable bra I have ever worn. It's not even a problem of fit! The cups and band fit just fine, but the choice of materials is brutal. The inner cups and the straps are covered in this extremely scratchy, sandpaper-esque mesh. (In a lovely neon pink, but the color isn't going to save it.) If ... it had just been the cups, I might have been able to deal with it, but the mesh covers the strap right where they rest on my shoulders, so the straps literally chafe away while they help support the bra. Awful, awful choice of material.
Aesthetically, it's a really sexy bra. The black lace overlay over neon pink mesh is a great idea, and there's a nice black lace trim around all the edges of the bra. Construction-wise, it's okay - the straps are a little wide-set for me (what else is new) and I'm generally not a fan of two-part cup construction since it tends to give me an east-west look, as that's the way my boobs tend toward anyway.
But seriously. Sandpaper mesh? On straps? Bad call, Claudette. I'm still a fangirl, but not a fan of the En Dentelle.
