Oooooh - what a beauty! Sometimes I feel that EM is just recycling the same bra with different fabric, but Glamour changes it up a bit with lace and ribbon. The color is hard to pin down - its not brown or gray or mauve or taupe, but a soft and classy un-color; all of the above. The shiny stretch base fabric is covered with a layer of sheer net lace up to the top cup seam, where it is met with a zig-zag stitch-attached narrow satin pink ribbon, and a band of complimentary patterned geometric lace across the top of the cup is anchored by that same ... ribbon at the seam. The shiny un-color base is visible for the very top 1/2 inch. I should note that the net on the bottom part has an 'exploding flower' design and the tips are not attached, so they pop up, adding an interesting dimensional almost 'sparkle' effect. Similarly, the band of lace along the top section is not attached and it will fold down under a top if not adjusted to lie flat when dressing. The pink ribbon plunges at the gore for a nice effect, and is repeated up the first 6" of the straps. A mini-bow complements it all at the gore. Its all very classy and retro and suits the name! Size-wise, this bra is cut small in this size range. Compared to my S Kicia and other perfect fit 75F's, it is about a half-cup too small without the cookies and my larger boob bulges out. It fits similarly to my S Szykus. Manageable with reverse S&S: hello Marilyn! I'm a 32FF UK, so a 70FF/75F normally. The wires are very narrow. The band is also short for a 75, measuring only 80cm (31.5") fully stretched - and this is not a new bra, so it has loosened some. The ribbon is attached firmly and could create some in-cup quad for those who are more FOT. Glamour is, like most EM top of the line bras, exceptionally soft and comfortable to wear with zero adjustments for me all day. If she comes around used in a size up, I'm all over it because I want this look in my bradrobe forever!

Thanks for your review - i have one on the way, but several reviews had said the cups ran tall . . . hopefully mine wont be too small! I also went down a band because my 75s have been way too loose in Ss recently. Well, i only have about 3 more weeks to find out lol
