Note: This bra is called Anneliese Balconette but has the same model number as the Georgia (FL6201).
I was so excited when I first took this bra out of the package -- the wires are so deep and narrow! I tried both the 40JJ and the 40K. Initially I was going to choose the 40JJ but after swooping and scooping and bending and stretching I decided to go with the 40K.
PROS:
1. The wires don't poke me anywhere!!! They stay in the curve under my breasts more than any bra I've ever worn. The center gore still doesn't sit quite flat, but this is common for my close-set ... boobs. The wires are as close-set as practical, without them overlapping, so I don't think there's much room for improvement here.
2. The fabric is sheer and lighter than anything I can remember wearing in my adult life. It's cute and sexy, but it seems strong enough to do the job.
3. The straps are only a little wider-set than the ideal. This is something I always have a problem with, but these are workable and don't bother me while I'm wearing them.
CONS:
1. Straps, while fully adjustable, are stretchy and narrow, and there's quite a bit of bounce and jiggle. I usually wear a shaper under work clothes and sometimes casual clothes too. The combo of bra and shaper is firm enough to control bounce for everyday purposes, but this is not a firm bra.
Overall I am thrilled with this bra!!

I was recently reminiscing about this bra, about how I was attracted to the photos Brastop had but a little disappointed at the actual color. The boysenberry was just a little too dull for my liking as I was expecting it too be a little brighter/cheerful.
I'm still trying to forget the bounciness I got with the Flirtelle and CK bras I got. I guess some folks like that in a bra but I certainly don't want or need this in my bras.
