    This beautiful bra makes me think of cotton candy at a carnival, it is bright, fun, larger than life colors, and I love it. I love the pretty lace lined cups, and the nice wide straps. I am not a big fan of the strap adjustment hardware, as it is jarringly white in comparison to everything else on the bra, it really stands out in a negative way.

    For reference, I am full on bottom, very close set, with high roots. My best fitting bras currently are Comexim in size 65N.

    This bra is just a little too big. In the pictures you can see that ... the the cups are not lying flat, they gap a little. Also, like some cups that are a little too big, the cups aren't molding my breasts, and I end up with a strange sort of pointy shape, you can see in the pictures. This is not surprising, as I knew a 65J would be more likely to fit, but I figured this was worth a try, as its so pretty and I was able to do an exchange with the lovely summersunshine . In the pictures I have the bra tightened to the tightest hooks. This keeps the band somewhat level on my 29in underbust. The gore is comfortably narrow for my close set breasts. This type of lace seems to develop snags and nubs easily, so this bra is still pretty, but is clearly used. I think that this is a flaw with using this kind of lace on a bra, which receives friction from arms and clothes all day. Unfortunately, the biggest problem for me is that the underwires stab in to my armpit when I move my arms, it is exceedingly uncomfortable. Alas, this bra will have to find a new home with someone else that it fits better.

      Oooh pretty colors! I've tried the BM which is pretty good, the PL was a fail, and I've got an S on the way!

      Too bad on the bit of gaping... Hope you're able to exchange it for a better fit!

      Have you considered it as a period bra? Maybe a little swelling would do the trick?

      This is so pretty! Too bad about the fit. I got a a round shape in BM when it wasn't too big. Nowadays my BM bras also fit a bit big and it makes them look pointy and it also makes them less supportive. :( Im my experience BM should not be worn too big. It's more supportive when on the "smaller side" when you really use the extra room of the stretchy lace. I hope you can exchange it :)

    • Thanks everyone! I was happy to try this one for bra science, and to help me nail down which sizes I need in Ewa bras. Hopefully I can find something else fun to try, and find this beauty a new home.

    Super-comfy bra that does not fit me. The color is really great: nice and bright, vaguely 80s approach. It won't disappear under anyone's thin, light clothing but that's not why I wanted this!

    The band is too big, and the cups are too small. The cups are not projected enough at the wire, either, but that is expected for padded bras like this one. The padding is slightly thicker than expected, like 2 layers of the thin one that Freya uses for their padded styles.

    The bra provides great uplift and cleavage. It has the vibe of a half cup even though it is a balconette. It is low cut. I feel secure enough for everyday life in it, and know I won't fall out even though it is not a large enough cup for me. I think I can run in it too, but it would show that the bra is not that supportive.

  3. I love the colors of this bra. The combination of turquoise and purple is so pretty. The lace has a white cotton back (it looks nude in some of my photos but is white). I also love the little flowers on the sliding clips.

    Edit: The color from the straps runs when wet, and stains the rest of the bra.

    Fitwise, I've realized this is too shallow for me, and now too small, since I gave gained a bit of weight. There us also horrible digging at the bottom of the gore, which all of my EM bras have. I'm not sure what causes this, maybe the band is too tight.
