First off, my shape: 3/5 FoT and full overall, tall roots, very projected and very narrow, very centre-full, pendulous, splayed.

This bra... this bra FITS. And it fits amazingly at that. It works perfectly for my shape, if I forget about the slight and unavoidable wrinkling in the cups (due to my splayed roots) and the gore that is ever so slightly too tall. I think I'm lucky that I'm able to handle it because, although my breasts are close-set, my roots are so tall that the point where they are the closest is still quite high on my chest compared to the base of my breasts.

This bra runs ... a full cup size big, but it's very true to size in the band - it's super soft and comfy, and I really appreciate the 3x3 hook closure despite the fact that I'm average to small in cup size and these are generally only done in G+ cups.

I only rated the appearance/quality as "good" because I feel like the lace and mesh overlay are kind of cheap and a bit scratchy (hopefully they'll be less obnoxiously so after a couple of washes), a lot more so than Cleo Hettie and Marcie, which retail for the same amount.

Edit March 7th, 2017: I consider that this bra is a tiny bit too shallow at the bottom for me, but not as much as Freya Rio. It's definitely best suited to FoT to VFoT shapes in my opinion.

This is a workhorse bra. It's a very no-frills nude spacer bra with no padding. I've had it for a year or so and although a thread or two is beginning to fray, I don't think the band has stretched out much if at all -- though that could very well be due to my long phase of refusing to wear bras because I didn't know that the reason I hated wearing bras was because I was wearing the wrong size, ergo I hadn't worn this bra hardly at all for a good six to eight months.
ANYWAY...I like this bra! It definitely gives me a minimized appearance, ... so like lift with no push (if that makes sense). EDIT: Put this bra on earlier to make sure I'd write an accurate review, now experiencing more discomfort a couple hours later: I find that the gore digs in at the top even on the loosest hook, which can get uncomfortable. I think this gore is really high for some reason -- I could be wrong, but I can feel the gore digging in like halfway up my breasts? Could be my posture, but it definitely isn't comfortable. Besides the weird gore, though....
The band is comfortable, the cups are cut high enough to give me gapping at the top but that doesn't affect the appearance or the overall good fit (and doesn't dig into my armpits at all), and the bra keeps me in place. I don't know that I'm ever excited to wear this bra, and if I had a nude bra that "maximized" instead of minimized I'd most likely reach for that one nine times out of ten over this one. But if you're looking for a nice nude bra that will probably hold up over years and isn't fancy, this may be a good option!

Corin is a brand that seems to have very little data on this site, so hopefully I can help out a little here!
Although this bra is a 70E and I'm a 28FF, it fits pretty well. The lace-top cups would lend themselves better to someone who's even to full on top, since I experience some wrinkling being full on bottom. I think it has a little less projection than I need, but it should still be suited to breasts with some projection. It's comfortable throughout the day and the fabric makes it feel light.
The detail on this bra is lovely: floral straps, floral-patterned lace on the top ... part of the cups and between and underneath them, the light blue/gold/white color scheme, and the little gold leaves throughout. It has a nice narrow gore and the lace doesn't comprise so much of the cups as to show my nipples (I have big areolas so a little showing is kinda unavoidable). The quality is very good, the band has hardly stretched out since I bought it last month, and it's showing zero signs of wear. For $106, I think if you're willing to splurge on a truly beautiful bra, the Jacqueline is worth the money! It gives me a nice round, lifted appearance. I also have a Corin Virginia, which is a spacer bra, and the Jacqueline definitely gives more lift and doesn't minimize.
It would be better suited for a 30 and not a small 28 like me, but the band is plenty tight on the middle and tightest hooks -- my fit evaluation is based on the fit on the loosest hook. If you're a 28 who prefers 30s for comfort, this band may be a good fit for you. Corin makes great quality, well-fitting bras. I think the cup of the Jacqueline may run big and the band run small, since I tried this in a 70D and the cup was only a little too small. And if you happen to live in Pennsylvania and are looking for a physical location that carries Corin so you don't have to risk buying online, I 100% suggest Bra Spectrum in Bryn Mawr!

My first Corin! I've realised this bra is new to Bratabase, so hopefully this proves helpful https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This is the beige colorway of the Susanna. This is a lovely little bra - technically a three-part balconette with light foam padding and a stretch-lace section. If you're full on top/even and need plenty of apex projection but not quite as much immediate projection, this is definitely the bra for you. The fabric feels decent, the lace is soft. The seams are unobtrusive and this could be used as a t-shirt bra quite happily, although the lace may cause some jiggle. The Corin brand ... logo is melted into the top side of the hook end of the band, which is a cute and unobtrusive touch.

The band is VERY stretchy, and I would say this is quite a loose 32 - I would also consider this to be a true UK 32FF, or even a firm 34F, rather than the tag's measurement of 32H (which I believe is its US size). The fabric on the wing also comes up quite high on me, although the wire channels have 1cm of empty space here. The straps are lovely and thick, they're only half adjustable due to the lace detailing however this bra sits so high on me that this doesn't affect me.

The wires are narrow, the wires are VERY soft and I can barely feel them against my skin. This of course has the downside that they're subject to distortion, especially if you opt to go down a band size to counter the stretchiness. This also means that the gore doesn't tack on my evenly full breasts, it barely soft tacks however I'm not sure going up a cup size would fix this.

Ultimately this bra doesn't work on me as I need way more immediate projection than this can give, and the wings make me feel a bit too wrapped-up in combination with my high-set breasts - a pure shape mismatch.

Buckle up, you're about to hear an enemies to... 'hmmm, friends, I guess...?' kind of story. When I bought this bra, it was unwearable. The band was too tight, the cups were too big and the wires dug painfully into my sternum. It was supportive though, just excruciating to wear. So I left it in my closet and didn't touch it for a long time.
However, this summer all my other bras (and by 'all' I mean 'two') got too stretched out and I desperately needed something, anything. So... I reluctantly gave it another chance.
After wearing it with an extender a bunch of times, the band stretched so much ... that it's not only become comfortable - I actually need to fasten it on the second or the last row. Who knew?
The cups are still too big (unless my period is near), so my breasts sit in the padded section and the mesh part is completely empty. It gives me a natural, relaxed shape. Perfect? No. Wearable? Yes.
Now I know it wasn't only a band size issue, but most importantly a shape issue - I think I need wider wires and more immediate projection. For this reason I will now let go of Polish brands (which is such a shame, since I live in Poland) and try to find the perfect match... from Britain.

This bra is not shaped like anything else that I own. The wires are narrower over all, lower in front, and higher on the sides. It isn't quite a plunge, but it's definitely not full coverage. The spacer foam makes it very smooth under knits. Most spacer bras are too narrow and too projected for me. This one works, and it's deep enough at the bottom, too.

For those who need narrow wires! In 30e, the wires are just 12cm wide. Corin is another polish bra manufacturer, which ive actually never heard of. The bra is semi padded - bottom paded and on top non stretchable lace with mesh underneath. I found this bra on ebay accidentally. As the offered price was good Ive decided to try. It was great decision! Bra fits me really well - no quadboobing and my smaller breasy doesnt look like smaller in it. The nude/beige colour fits well my pale skin - and it makes perfect bra under white clothes - Im gonna keep that one for summer time ... as its not thick and looks nice under tight clothes - naturaly rounded. Well, the prices on the website are not that low if it comes to the quality - band looks like it may stretch and the material where the hooks are attached doesnt look like best quality. Although, its not bad quality as well. Material on the cups and band is satin like with dots on it. Strap are half adjustable with upper part made of the material used on the bra - big plus! However, the straps are slightly too far for me. And the last advatage of the bra is that it has 3x3 hooks and eyes.

Good everyday bra. Does not show under tight woolen shirt or t-shirt. Great coverage. Tend to minimize the size of my breasts.
There are two problems for me. First, the straps are a bit to far away and tend to slip from my shoulders.
Second, the center gore is too high and digs in my sternum.
I can still wear this bra all day long.
After a few weeks of wear, the bra went from loosest hook and eye setting to the tightest one. However, this hasn't changed since and it still fits.

Super great, comfortable practical bra with a good amount of coverage without being overwhelming. the wide back is great to create a smooth line under shirts, whilst an internal sling brings the breast tissue towards the front to avoid looking too wide.

My only complaint is that the back seems to stretch quickly during the day, and is slightly generous to begin with.

I was professionally fitted for this bra. Excellent ultra thin foam that keeps one's nipples secret without adding bulk. Foam is also not discoloured by sweat, something that's a real problem in the Australian heat. Straps are a comfortable and supportive width. Everything is soft on the inside but does get slightly uncomfortable after a full long day of wear but that is because I have fibromyalgia and am sensitive to discomfort. Very plain but has a bow on the gore and details on the straps at the front where they attach to the cup.

Very light padding on non lace section of cup. Wide, soft straps. Lace is ever so slightly scratchy but I have sensitive skin. I bought this bra by accident and it was very much not my size, due to confusion with the online store. So I only ever tried it on briefly. Moderately stretchy comfort band.

This is a bra I bought the entirely wrong size of due to confusion with the online store. The upper lacy section is ever so slightly tough, and I have sensitive skin. Wide straps, very comfortable. Additional vertical "bone" next to the cups towards the armpit for added support. Very elastic band. Medium padding, more than my Corin t shirt bra, on the non lace part of the cup. No underwire creaking and they are encased in very soft fabric.

Wonderful, comfortable bra that fits my boobs perfectly. I find this the ideal t-shirt bra. The spacer fabric is soft and moulds well to my breasts, and the beige colour is a good match for my skin tone. In fact, that's the only gripe I have - I wish this bra came in a wider variety of skin-tone colours so that more women could wear it!

A perfect basic bra, excellent for decollete. It has a little push-up. Pleasant fabric, straps are a little bit embossed, so they don't slide. Cups are not ideal for my breasts, but it fits good.

I wasn't able to get measurements on this one as shortly after I received it my boyfriend did the wash and it came out mangled!!! BUT I can say that it seemed to fit true to my usual size, which is 30E. My main complain with the bra is that the fabric in the cup was itchy on my sensitive skin and made my nipple very irritated. If that isn't usually an issue for you, then it's a nice bra that fits and looks good.

Well made spacer bra from Polish brand Corin. Unfortunately not so comfortable as my 30E - Panache » Cari Moulded Spacer Bra (7961). Also a little too big in cups. Full review on my blog.

Black spacer bra Virginia from Polish brand Corin.

Another great bra from Corin . The cut seems to be somewhat similar to Corin Oprah (14832) . The sizing is EU one, so out of the box London's 65 band fits my 63 cm ribcage perfectly even on loosiest hook. Straps are removable and half-adjustable due to lace decorations on them.

@Corin Oprah appears to be a pretty everyday bra of unusual color and decent quality. Sizing is EUROPEAN, so regardless of UK 30 label non-metric girls should keep in mind that Oprah's 65 band fits ribcages of 65-ish cm i.e. about 25.5". It's perfect for my 63-64 cm (~25") underbust, but it doesn't close at all on my friend's 72 cm (~28") ribs without unreasonable amount of torture applied to the bra and friend's body.

Straps are removable and half-way adjustable with non-adjstable part decorated with lace matching the top of cups.

Push-up inserts are removable and quite thin to make any major difference.

A fantastic, very comfortable bra with lots of forward projection and great cleavage. Fitted absolutely true to size when I bought it. Sadly, as I've lost about 3kg since I bought it, it is now too big. This is not the bra's fault, and I would definitely buy another from the same range. I don't believe it has stretched out since I got it. It's pretty much the perfect bra for someone with my breast shape: the underwires are in exactly the right place. The only person I wouldn't recommend this bra to is someone who doesn't like showing off their breasts: it's definitely an attention getter.

This bra has only the bottom half padded, the top half of the cups are lace. It's a very cute balconette bra, and a bit narrower between the cups than most bras I have.

I've found the fit to be almost perfect. On my larger side, I get no wrinkling in the bottom of the cups, and only a tiny bit on my smaller side. I get the tiniest bit of gapping at the top corners of the lace panels, near the straps and had a friend say she had the same problem, to a greater extent (which is why she didn't buy the bra). The underwires sit ... where they're supposed to, and don't dig in. I have no pinching, rubbing or chafing from this bra. I'm worried the band may be a little big on me (it's new and I'm already wearing it on the middle or tightest hooks, depending on the day).

The bra is comfortable, and seems well built, but I haven't worn it much yet. The shape I get from this is great - and it seems to minimize my bust (to the point I looked somewhat pear shaped in the mirror- and I'm definitely not!). The support from this band is good, too.
