Even though Iknow my true bra size is something between 28FF and 30E I like this bra because it is so cute and comfortable. The fauve cups tend to be bigger so that 32DD seems bigger than a Cleo to me.
That is a really posh looking bra! I think is the most elegant bra that I ever owned. The details of Bronte are so nice. I own this bra in 3 colours - silver, jade and pistchacio - just orange is missing! The colours - jade with black lace makes it so good. The band runs more loose than other colours. Its comfortable but not the most - after couple of hours wires are slightly noticeable. But it doesn't matter for me as i love appearance of this beauty!
O.M.G. - Finally! A bra that truly, TRULY fits! I've had such a hard time finding the perfect bra and I think this is it. I've got average projection, with tall roots and slightly conical. I've been eyeing this bra for a very very long time and I finally purchased one.
Appearance: Beautiful. So much prettier in person. This bra has a gorgeous embroidery on the cups and the color (Moonlight) is a very pretty steel blue. The embroidery is slightly embossed, but not so much so that it would snag. The straps seem wider (in strap width) than Cleos, but that could be because there are little eye ...hook thingies as a frill.
Fit: AHHHHmazing. Seriously. The cups are lined, not padded. However, the lining is thicker than the Freya Patsy Half cups. I can't imagine anyone having a problem if it's cold https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />. The cups are great for my projection (average) and since they're half cups, they allow for my taller roots. I fill this cup perfectly, and for me, it is work appropriate. However, I could see it giving someone bigger too much ooomph for work. The inside of the cups are super soft and comfy. This bra gives a really great side profile, up and round https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> - even for me! I think this bra actually makes me look bigger than what I am, but I guess that's what I get when I have a bra that fits right. The band runs true to size. I have yet to find out how fast it stretches.
Cons? None for me. BUT, I could see someone super petite or with a very high set chest having trouble adjusting the straps as they only adjust 3/4 of the way up due to the straps changing width.
I will sell my soul for more of these bras.

I bought the bra in a sister size to my usual 28F and altered the band down. The cups are a very good fit for my shallow boobs, and wide + tall root. In fact, they´re perfect https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Straps adjust all the way. 2 hooks + eyes.
I also got matching brief S. They´re a bit tight for me, so maybe they run "true to size", since I usually wear M.
This is a very beautiful bra, almost luxurious-looking. Makes one wish to show it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Both the satiny texture and the embroidery are very beautiful and classy.
The colour is a golden light olive green which is quite unusual and makes me very very happy.
Gives a wider fit than I usually wear, more of a lifted look than a projected look. Interestingly, under thick fitted clothes like winter sweaters, this actually makes my boobs look bigger (as in "more volume").
The band is sort of firm. This is not uncomfortable but it is not a barely there bra either.
This is a really well-fitting bra for my shallow, wide-rooted boobs - fits a bit like a plungier version of the Bravissimo padded half-cups. Probably a bit foofier than my normal taste in bras (it's purple! it has gold embroidery everywhere!) but it's so comfortable and nicely made I'm going to keep it.
This is a pretty bra, good quality, very comfortable, but just doesn't look great on me - the straps are too close together so make it look like my boobs are pointing into my armpits, and the cup gives me an odd squarish shape. Didn't keep.
That is a really posh looking bra! I think is the most elegant bra that I ever owned. The details of Bronte are so nice. I own this bra in 3 colours - silver, jade and pistchacio - just orange is missing! The colours - pistachio with cream lace makes it so good. The band runs good, tighter than other fauve that ive tried. Its comfortable but not the most - after couple of hours wires are slightly noticeable. But it doesn't matter for me as i love appearance of this beauty!
That is a really posh looking bra! I think is the most elegant bra that I ever owned. The details of Bronte are so nice. The colours - silver with cream lace makes it so good. Also works well under white clothes. Its comfortable but not the most - after couple of hours wires are slightly noticeable. Also the quality of the materials is not the first class, as on the band where are the hooks, it has some bobbling - i haven't used it a lot, and was always hand washed. But at the end it doesn't matter for me as i love appearance of this beauty! Im thinking to buy in Olive colour as well.
I bought this lovely bra in 32DD (due to availability) which is a sister size to my usual 28F. This is the peacock blue colourway.
The band was obviously too big, I altered it down. The band doesn´t stretch much, or it is quite rigid, beware. The cups are almost okay, but I´ve noticed a little quadboob in the top of the cups. So maybe one size up would´ve fit me better. I have shallow boobs and wide+high roots and the shape is okay. The wires come quite high in the armpit and also in the center. I had to bend them a little so they wouldn´t stabb me. ...I´d prefer them shorter, but I can wear the bra without pain.
One curious thing. I have 3 colours of this bra, mink, peacock blue and purple. The mink seems to fit differently from the other two!! Peacock blue and purple brasare good for shallow + wide boobs, but the cups of the mink colourway are definitely deeper!! I get a droopy shape in the mink bra :-/ I don´t know if this really is due to colour, or size. They are all different sizes (all sister sizes to 28F): mink is 34D, peacock blue is 32DD and purple is 30E. Just beware of this!! Read more 104 more words
This bra is so beautiful that I couldn't resist buying it, even though it is a 32DD and I usually wear a 30E. The lace is gorgeous but thin enough that it doesn't show under most shirts. The straps have a little bit of lace also, but they are still fully adjustable, and the elastic is soft.
The fit is extremely similar to the Freya @Deco plunge, I think the molded cup may even be identical except for the lace overlay. Like the Deco, the band runs a little large and the cups gap at the top if I don't sit up straight with my shoulders back. Also like the Deco, the wires are somewhat narrow, and tissue sometimes escapes out the sides. It doesn't fit perfectly, but it is good enough and pretty enough to keep, and a Rixie clip helps.
