This bra is so strange on me, yet I kind of love it. It doesn't fit at all, but it's comfy and cute, and I'm keeping it!

I bought it on a swap page in a lot, I paid less than $5 for it. I love the colors - mine is purple with teal trim, and those are 2 of my favorite colors!

Since it's secondhand, I probably won't enter measurements for this one - it is beyond stretched out. Normally I wear a 34 band, and occasionally a 32 band in some of the stretchier ones, but this is a 32 that I can easily fasten on the ... tightest hooks and it's STILL a little loose. So it's a 32 that fits like a big 36? Something in that neighborhood.

The cups give the strangest effect. My husband loves this bra, ha! It makes my boobs very wide and flat. If it weren't for the va-va-voom appearance of the bra itself and the "cakes on a plate" cleavage, it would definitely be a minimizer. Looking down at my cleavage is just this strange "where did everything go?" feeling. I did try it on with a shirt, just to see, and the lace detail at the top of the cup is actually less noticeable than you'd expect. I could possibly get away with wearing this as a regular bra with the right shirt. One little detail that I never saw in the photos or read in any reviews was the gore - I've never seen one like this. The gore actually comes up higher than the cups; the gore comes up into my cleavage and then drops about 1/4" to where the cup starts. I'll try to get a picture. It's kind of neat, doesn't bother me at all.

As for fit issues, it's definitely too shallow. I have wrinkling all the way along the wire. And the wires are too wide. And it's a big stretched out mess. BUT SO COMFORTABLE. The cups are shockingly just right; I don't know if this is some feat of engineering or what, but the edges of the cups don't gap or quad, they're just right.

This bra is all "Lisa Frank burlesque show" to observers but feels like loungewear. I feel like it appears to be a better fit than it actually is, unless you know what to look for.

Love this bra even though it doesn't technically fit me. My boobs don't even have a finger's worth of space between them, so the gore does dig in a bit, but it really isn't so bad/uncomfortable and is hardly noticeable for me. If I were to purchase this bra again, I would probably go up another cup size or two as I think I am a little too projected for this model. There's a good chunk of boob that's pushed up and out of the cup that would be very noticeable if not for the lacy trim. However, my boyfriend absolutely loves the massive cakes on a plate look this gives me, so I will definitely be holding onto it!

Wrong wire shape, bottom is too shallow. I bought after gaining about 20 lbs and needed a bigger cup size. I've lost weight and it's too big now.

Band is great but feels like a 34. Cup not bad but not an H in my opinion - I could use a J. However, I LOVE it and will wear it anyway. Who cares about a little quadraboob in a bra that looks lumpy under most clothing anyway? I have tried this in several colorways in 34ff and g, and didn't find the bands noticeably larger (but I do need to measure) so I gambled on the 32h.
I love the 3 hooks, gorgeous materials, and fun matching panty options.
Cups are extremely shallow at the bottom and very open on top (which is how I can get ... away with it, being a fuller on top person)
The wires are a bit wide, but not too tall. Overall, very comfy.
Straps are wide, but I have broad shoulders, so that is rarely an issue. The one issue I really have with quality is the strap, though, as they fold over during wear.
Ruffles are over the top and utterly impractical but soooo cute. To make it more functional, it is possible to remove them (according to one of my favorite bloggers whose name currently escapes me), but I am sticking with them. I might try removal if I had a backup bra.
Bottom line: every woman should have one, as long as she has some upper fullness. And other bras to wear under clothes https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

This bra is at LEAST two cup sizes too small, so it's difficult to say how it fits. However, I can say that no matter how 'empty' your breasts are, holy cow will this give you incredible balloons-stuck-to-my-chest cleavage. It's pretty difficult to determine shape with sizing so far off, and same with support--my breasts are popping, spilling, veritably teeming over the cups, but I don't know if that's because of the construction or because it's waaay too small.

Really pretty bra in the Jade/Grape combination. Pushes everything way up in a Marie Antoinette cleavage sort of way, but also has very shallow cups to go with it, leading to a slight quadraboob along the edge for me. Stretchy band, so I went down a band size and up yet another cup size, and still a bit small in the cup at this point. I like the details, and under most shirts, they are not noticeable so I an wear it more often then just a special occasion.

This bra is so cute! A lot of people mentioned the need to go up a cup size (or two) and down a back size in this bra. I'm so glad I did as it fits perfectly.
