(This review is for the navy/parrot print.)

This is the first bra that's ever given me problems with its gore. The band feels perfect, but the gore presses so hard that it actually hurts. I think if it was slightly lower, it wouldn't be a problem. I tried gently bending the wires away and adding an extender, and so far it seems better. I'll see how it feels in a few more hours. (EDIT: So it turns out pregnancy has increased my underbust measurement by a couple inches, and I should really be wearing a 32E. I'm sure this has a LOT to do with why the wires are ... painful.)

Other than that, this seems like a good fit. For once, I finally have a bra in my true size that's actually an appropriate distance from my armpits on both the underwires and the sides of the cups, so I'm not getting stabbed or cut at all. It's also surprisingly soft for an unlined bra, so even if it was in my armpits, I don't think it would be intolerable.

The pattern and colors are so cute. I love the bright parrots against the navy blue, and the corral pink is a very nice accent color. Plus one for my blue bra collection! Weird how almost all of the fitting bras I have right now are blue. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />

This is one of the two unlined bras I purchased recently, and they are the first bras I've ever owned that fit and did not have foam cups. I definitely enjoy knowing I have a greater range of options, and the fabric breathes nicely. The only downside is that the edges of the elastic, which I've noticed to be an issue for me with Panache and Cleo, are very sharp against my skin. After wearing most of my Panache brand bras for a decent portion of the day my skin is bright red, sensitive, and I'm more prone to skin irritations like ingrown hairs right at where edges of my straps and the bottom of the wings are in contact with my skin. This usually doesn't cause as much trouble after a few months, but it's still frustrating to some degree.

This is the best fitting bra I have tried on so far. The band is not quite as stretchy as the Lepel Fiore or the Freya bras I have tried on, but is comfortable enough and secure. The wires are a good width. The part between the wire and the strap does come up quite high but I don't mind this as it feels like I am getting more side support and I don't think it is something I will be able to avoid as I am petite and have a short root (I think my boobs are set slightly high as well). My right breast (the larger ... one) fills the cup well though right after swooping and scooping I get minor in-cup quadboob which seems to be fairly common but tends to go away once my breasts have "settled" into the bra. The lace on the left side gapes slightly but is not really noticeable under clothing so I don't really mind. The cups also wrinkle quite a bit. My only real issue with this bra is the gore. The height doesn't really bother me even though it comes up higher than I'm used to, but it is a bit wide for me. If I have it lay flat against my sternum one of the wires ends up resting on a bit of tissue and after a while it starts to hurt. I find I can alleviate this discomfort temporarily by pinching the gore so the wires sit like this: /\.

This bra is PERFECT. It gives incredible lift, has a nice, narrow gore, and doesn't show through clothes (the seams/etc.). This is very comfortable and gives a great, narrow look from the front (no east/west business). I recommend it highly, especially if you're trying to find a bra that really fits. I do wish it came in less exciting colors/patterns, though...a beige or black would be great, lol.

FYI, I have narrow roots, projection, and am between even and FOT. Hope this helps you in your search! : )

Love the close cup placement, my close-set breasts fit comfortably. I am just a tiny bit too full on top for the cups, with tissue occasionally bulging at the top and creating a slight quad-boob effect...only sometimes, though. Other times, it looks perfect.

I'm not a fan of the fabric. It's one of the soft cup bras that's made of two layers of thin, stiff, plasticky, semitransparent mesh. I'm very sensitive to synthetic fabrics, and this gives me low-level itch. I've washed it 2-3 times now, but still haven't managed to wear it for a full day.

Material: 58% polyamide, 38% polyester, 4% elasthene

T-shirt friendliness: Medium. The fabric is mostly smooth, with a bit of ruffle at the cup edge; this would not be seen except in a very thin shirt. The bright colors can be seen beneath thin or light-colored shirts.
