I like the fabric, lace, and look of this bra. I'm not a big fan of the vertical seams, because they'll show under a t-shirt. Straps are on the wide side, but haven't slipped off yet. Overall, I really like the fit of this bra. I tried the bra in 28DD, 28E, 28F, 30D, and 30DD. A size in between 28E/F would be ideal. I had already bought this one though before buying the 28's. I own another fitting bra in 30D, so it could be that the cups of this bra run small. I wore this one day to work and the top part of the gore ... poked my sternum, which really hurts, even a few days later. For my shape it the gore was too high and rigid.
I've now replaced the wires with BravoBella wires (size 34). It was a little difficult to put them in the bra, and I had to cut a tiny part off the plastic tip from the BravoBella wires, but it did fit in the end. I bent the wires in the gore a little outwards and the bra is more comfy now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I'm really on the fence about this bra in this size. Overall it could pass, but on close inspection the fit could be better... a 28DD might be best. The band on this 30DD is not loose, but even on the middle hook it is "comfy" enough that it may become too big after a little wear. On the loosest hook it is definitely too big.

There is a similar problem with the cups. They enclose everything, but they feel ever so slightly big. They don't exactly gap, but looking closely reveals some wrinkling along where the lace joins the cup edge. I ... seem to find myself right between cup sizes with a lot of bras, and with this one I think the smaller cup volume would be better.

The straps on the Juna are excellent -- padded (in front) and still have some give. The shaping this bra gives is also excellent -- beautifully rounded and the top cup edges don't show under shirts. The foam is lightweight and on the thinner side; just enough to give great shaping and provide some modesty. The seams just barely show under thin shirts, but are faint and that doesn't bother me. On the whole this is a very nice looking, well shaping, comfortable bra for me and so there may be a 28DD Juna in my near future.

This is a very nice bra with a good balance between T-shirt bra and not-too-boring https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> However, it's true that the lace shows a bit under tight tops.
Other than that, I hope the band holds out, because it's already starting to feel a bit too loose. I found the bra in nude to be more comfortable than in black, but I needed a black straps bra, so I chose it (I'll try and hunt a nude one off ebay or bratabase eventually https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />).
Very good standard bra.

Up to the looks the tip a little funny, I find it really quite ok.

First thing I noticed about this bra is how soft it is! Love the material it's made of. I can barely feel the straps on my shoulders! I do wish they were fully adjustable, though I may never even need it. Fits just like my Darcy: perfectly. Some people don't like the floppy Juna lace but it really does not bother me.

This bra fit all weird in my regular size. I went down a sister size and up a cup size (30DD to 28F), and it fit much better.

The fit issues were:
- The wires were too short at the sides; they create a weird bulging look.
- The band was too wide, no support.
- Underwires poked into my sternum.
- The seams showed through all T-Shirts.

In 28F, the gore is still poking, but I bent the wires and it's getting better.

By the way, if you want a similar style without visible seams, try the Only Her Espresso or the Cleo Maddie Moulded T-shirt Bra (7091).
Both also have a lower center gore that doesn't poke.

This bra is a great nude bra for under T-shirts. It fits well in the cups, however I wish I had the size in a 28E instead of a 30DD, as the band is a bit too loose for my preference, however it still does its job in supporting.

Returned because it just didn't seem that high quality, like the underwire channel wasn't completely filled with the wire end to end. Also way too big on the top and too small on the sides, just not right for my shape.
