The Bra is really pretty and sturdy but the wires are just too wide for me. I love the gold embroidery detail and small cut outs on the top panel.
The band was a little looser than I'm used to. (My other bras are cleo and the 34s are a lot tighter.)

I found when I wore a 30JJ in most bras, I needed a 30K in CK unpaddeds. I was surprised to find that now, when I'm around a 30K/KK, the 32K is too big in the cups. It seems to run bigger than other CK bras, so I'll be exchanging for a 30K and seeing how that fits. I found the shape to be quite good, but I can't quite fully judge it in this size. I like the material more than the other CK bras I've tried - it's the sort of laminate material, similar to Bravissimo Dotty Spot, rather than a scratchy mesh.The straps are wideset, wires are a bit wide, and I found it very tall under the arm, but the fit was better than expected. I'll have to try the 30K and report back.

The firmest support is on the lower two portions, and the sheer latticework has a bit of give to create a rounded cleavage. I've found that this cut is usually best for firmer breasts, but this particular style would work with softer breasts, too.

This is a really beautiful bra. It's a sturdy, shiny satin and the mesh on top has lovely gold embroidery and open cutwork. It looks just amazing and is very flattering on top of the breast.
I think this bra runs true to size in the band. I'm a large 32/small 34 and the 32 was comfortable and fit, but distorted the wires when fastened. With an extender it was much better and still wearable, and the wires stayed in the right place then.
Unfortunately the cup is just not the right shape for me. It's too wide (surprising, as I like wide wires!) and waaaaay too shallow. The apex ... is totally in the wrong place for my relatively balanced boobs. I have a ton of projection at the bottom and center, and a fair amount of tissue on top, as well as a high root. The wins are too long for me, and get all up under my arms... and in turn they get pushed down which exacerbates the problem of the bra being too shallow at the bottom of the cup for me. I end up being able to pinch a good inch of fabric after just a few minutes at the bottom and sides of the bra, while the top starts to press into the tissue and gives me the inverted seven look.
It also goes all east-west on me because the apex just isn't right for me. It's too far out to the sides... for all that I have a wide root I'm pretty front and center.
I'm very sad this bra doesn't work, because I really love it, but it's just not a match.

very comfy for me. The straps are a little far apart but still comfortable.

it is gorgeous! fits well with normal posture, top of cups dig in when i push my shoulders back. the top lace detail is not stretchy. not too fond of the crystal detail because i already feel like i'll lose it, but this is a special occasion bra, so it won't have many chances to drop off. the matching brief also has the same crystal detail.

Bright happy color. great contraction. This bra's band is on the smaller side, but going for true to size would be better for a longer term wear of the bra. The lace details of a criss cross pattern, it's very dainty without being grandmomish. This bra can be sexy. The material is smooth and not very see through. If not washed properly, the seams can look a little rough after a few washes.

I bought this bra after measuring myself properly for the first time, and although the band fit well, the wires were too wide and there was some gaping at the top. I am full-on-bottom and I believe this line is better for full-on-top.
The color and material of the bra is very pretty and felt smooth when I tried it on.

This bra is amazing!
I just got it today, so I have yet to actually have a full day's wear out of it, but so far it feels very comfortable. I've tried it under several different kinds of tops, and it doesn't show underneath very much at all. The seams are very slightly visible under a tight top, but nothing out of the ordinary.
The straps are very comfortable and have a very cute little bow detail.
The top of the cup is sheer with a basket weave at the top of the part. The top lacey detail of the cup doesn't sit flat against my breast, but it ... doesn't show through on even a tighter top. I rather like that it stands away from my skin.
The gore is very comfortable, and it doesn't come up high enough to poke my sternum. The wires are a bit higher under my arms than I'm used to, but nothing that I couldn't get used to.
The back band is comfortable, though the area underneath the cup can poke me on occasion. I can't say for how the band will stretch as I wear it, though, as it is a new bra.
Overall, it's a very pretty bra and is quite comfortable. I would recommend it for a friend.

I was surprised and saddened by how this fit. I can fit in both a 38H or 38HH in all the CK bras I've tried so far. Well, the cups on the Gia were way too big. I'm going to send this back as opposed to exchanging it because I'm not sure what size I would need to get.
It's a lovely bra though. The band was snug, the color and lace trim are pretty. Personally I'm not a fan of the little dangling gem in the center. The bra was comfy, too.
The cups gaped along the top on both sides. The support wasn't great since I didn't fill out the cup completely.

Thanks for this review as I'm looking for a CK shallow and wide. :)
