The Balor B230 is a padded bra with one vertical seam (basically the same as Ewa Bien's B130 styles, but padded). The cut is similar to the Cleo Juna (6461) or Cleo Jessie Padded Balconnet Bra (7241). The padding is a bit stiffer than the Juna but not as stiff as the Jessie. The B230 style is often called "Push Up" on the website. This might be misleading, as the bra has no additional padding or removable pads.
The wires are very wide, so it works for wide root shallow boobs. It gives a nice rounded shape and works well under T-shirts. The band fits stretchy but stable. The sizes are true to size in EU sizes, maybe running a tad big. 65F fits like UK 30E. The embroidery is nice and looks classy, and the quality is very good. A small downside: The padded cups are completely made of synthetics and this doesn't feel as good and body-friendly as cotton lining. All in all it's a pretty bra that fits well.
When I got it I immediately thought the cups are too big, but after trying it on not only did it become clear that they are perfect, but also the push up breasts a little.

I have only tried this on as it is sadly too small for me. My first impression was that it's a good basic bra and would be excellent for everyday use. It's made of a very soft and elastic fabric lined with mesh. The wires are sturdy but easy to bend.
The support in the middle is excellent. It makes my boobs very lifted and they sit entirely on the front of the body. (I love the slimming effect.) I think the band is true to size, or possibly a little tighter than avarage. The cup is roughly like a typcial 32F or 32FF, but I can't determine it precisely because the band is too large for me. It's a pretty and comfy bra. Half adjustable straps, but they could be made fully adjustable by removing the lace details.
If my google translation is correct, this is said to have deep cups. It makes my boobs a little pointy. Very projected and the boobs sit entirely on the front of the body. (The former makes me feel a little exposed, but I love the slimming effect by the latter.) I think the band is true to size, or possibly a little tighter than avarage. The cup is roughly like a typcial 32F or 32FF, but I can't determine it precisely because the band is too large for me. It's a pretty and comfy bra, especially the band is stunning. Half adjustable straps.
This bra is a very intense red. The fabric is very sheer and surprisingly soft. Before I ordered this bra I was feeling jealous about not fitting Claudette, but I no longer feel that way.
I'm not certain if I like the fit. My breasts are fairly close together, but normally I'd be okay with a gore this size. In this bra, the gore is immediately pushed to an angle instead of lying flat. There is also gaping in the smaller side near the gore. If I push the gore flat, however, the smaller side fits perfectly and the larger side has a ...slight amount of quadboob. There's a thin bit of a transparent tape at the top of the cup but it doesn't seem to make the bra less open on top.
The straps had to be tightened quite a bit to achieve the right fit. I find this is often the case with narrow straps, but in this case I had to tighten them three times until I got lift that satisfied me. I can imagine that I might have to tighten them quite a bit after wearing if I keep this bra.
I really like how the bra looks on me. It gives me some roundness on top and I have never owned a bra this bright and sheer. The lace and the gaping I mentioned aren't visible under clothing. With clothing, I see a nice bit of lift, somewhere between a green and a purple shape. It's a cone with a gentle slope. Read more 160 more words
