This is a very pretty full coverage bra that we bought for my mother who, at 68 years old, has very soft, pudding-like breast tissue that is full on bottom and completely deflated on top. She tends to fall to the middle and out of her bras, so we discovered she needs a high gore and tall cups. She says that the bra is very comfortable and she likes it very much...however, does not want to be featured in the photos, or do the review, so I decided to try the bra on myself. This itself, creates somewhat of a double review, as my breast tissue is firm, ... self-supporting and I am equally full all over and the bra fits me perfectly too!!

Nicole See-thru Lace is a somewhat deceiving name, as there is no lace on the bra at all.

It is made of powder pink sheer embroidered mesh. Right now the mesh isn't exactly super soft...perhaps it will become so after washing. I am critical of mesh as the mesh used on the lower cups of Kris Line soft bras is like butter, and they are the standard to which all others must now be compared https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

It is classic soft balcony construction: 2 lower panels (1 vertical seam) and 1 upper horizontal panel.

The 2 lower panels are lined in mesh and are delicately embroidered in cloud grey. The top panel is unlined and is heavily embroidered. The bra doesn't show under a t-shirt.

There is colour-matched elastic lining the top edge of the cup. My mother gets no cut-in/quad boob from this elastic despite having very soft breast tissue. I don't get any either, despite being full on top.

There are color-matched side-support panels in this bra - and they are significant. They cover the outer 25% of the cup and are made of the same thin corsetry foam that is used to make semi-padded bras. It does show through the sides of the bra, but it offers A LOT of support, structure and stability to the cups.

The cups are deep and projected at the wire. I get no wrinkling anywhere.

Wires are fairly narrow too - only 14cm wide in this size.

The cradle and gore are also heavily embroidered and there is a 2-tone satin bow on the gore.

The gore is wider - 2cm wide. I am wider set, so this is great for me. My mother is very closely set, but the gore tacks well and does not dig into her breasts.

The straps are wide at 2cm with picot trim. They are fully adjustable and have 2-tone bows as trim.

The wings have NO boning.

The band is pretty TTS - it measures 63cm unstretched and 76cm stretched (it could go further, but the wires will start to distort.) It is made of thick power mesh.

The band dips up into a soft inverted-V shape at the gore. Both of us are short waisted so we like it.

3 rows of 3 hooks makes for a nice wide band at the back which is ballet style.

N.B. Photos are of ME wearing the bra. I have short roots, firm, self-supporting breasts that are full all over and narrow. I normally wear Polish bras made by Gorsenia, Kris Line, Gorsenia and Ewa Michalak, all in size 65G EU.
