Way too small for me, but very pretty.

This bra is so cute but sadly it doesn't fit quite the same as my Juna or Rita. It has a very large, stretchy band, still too loose even on the tightest setting and the cups are a tad small, I have quadboob with my FOT breasts. And the wings are not tall enough for me and the gore hurt.

I have even breasts with tall roots.
The cups gap a little bit at the top, where I do not have tissue to fill it out completely since it is spread so far upwards from there. As a result, the lace does not lay flat, and sometimes even tucks back into the cups.
However though, it is a nice, lightly padded bra. This is the first "padded" bra I have gotten since starting my journey. The padding is pretty thin, malleable, and very squishy. It is thicker than my plain molded Betty Johnson Retro Glamour Demi, so I understand the title of "padded." However, it is unlike normal matrix "padded" bras, so if you were afraid of that, don't be! It is maybe three millimeters thick, but doesn't even feel that thick.
Fun fact: The bra looked very yellow in the pictures I saw, but I have color deficiency, so in real life it looks more lime green!https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />

Well, theoretically it still WOULD be yellow but it is just my eyes. However, I told my roommates about it and showed them the bra and they also thought it was green! So I guess the bra really is more green than the stock pictures show, and not just through my eyes.
You can look at the pictures I uploaded if it would help. I've been meaning to upload more but I haven't yet!!

It's like greeney yellow. Like a lemon/lime type thing going on. It looks super cute for summer!

I have a Cleo Juna in the same size and the band stays put, but the gore digs in. On this bra, the gore feels fine but the band rides up, as if my boobs are trying to escape the bottom of the bra.

I've worn this bra just three or four times as it never really fitted me. The band is a bit too loose and the cups are too close. The bra has a very cute pattern and is in a very good condition.

Pretty similar to Juna. The cup fits on my larger side, but my smaller side gaps a little. Same lace problems as Juna.

I have a wide root and shallow boobs. I do need flat cups but not extraordinary wide wires. I almost don't have any volume on top. I usually wear this bra when my boobs are smaller during the first weeks after my mestruation.
The fabric is really soft and comfortable as the cups inside is lined with cotton. The band runs normal while the cups seem to be a little smaller then usual 28DD ones.Updated on Sep 09, 2014 Flag this

The flamingo print Darcy is summery and sanguine, I smile every time I put it on.
I found the band on Darcy to be less stretchy than Juna, while cup structure and size seem equivalent.
Bratabase measurements show negligible differences in Darcy and Juna, but it's not enough to warrant getting a different size in Darcy.

I was considering ordering it but it looked too yellow. Glad to know it's not!
