fortnight has long been a staple for small band/large cup people who are wild bitter about the lack of wireless bras on the market in their size. i picked up this one stealthily on the internet somewhere at a big ol' discount and it lives up to the hype.

QUALITY: smooth. silky. bespoke. luxurious. these are a few words that describe the voice of british actor idris elba, and also this bra. it's the most adult clothing item i own. i feel like i have a salaried job with benefits when i wear this bra (i don't). i would wear it if i were meeting idris elba in ... a casual context, and he would think i looked cool and grown-up.
COMFORT/FIT: a little more relaxed and elastic than the luna and vega models by fortnight. if you're expecting a tacking gore and a totally smooth line across the top of the cup, or to wear it under a structured blouse, you'll be disappointed, but your boobs will also feel like they are being cradled in the web of a sensual spider. probably don't do jumping jacks in it.
APPEARANCE: i like wearing this under a really soft, worn t-shirt or a flowy button-up, around the house. i'm technically an E/F cup, on the larger side of what fortnight bras are designed to handle in terms of volume, but i really love the way it looks. it keeps things just locked down and pushed up enough that you feel comfy and put-together, yet decadently casual.

IDEAL USES: sleepovers, making dinner/chilling around the house, working from home
KEY AESTHETICS: femmed-up tilda swinton, grown-up kiki's delivery service, punk april ludgate, building a found-object sculpture in a loft studio while listening to nina simone on vinyl, urban witchcraft

Dear Fortnight! I believe that we are going to be a good friends. LOVE IT! The materials feels so perfect, the colours are more than perfect! I got this beauty from jlcl119 and very thank you for that. The bra, set was previously used so the band is little bit streched now but its almost perfect on me as I would need one extra set of eyes just for more comfort as a comfy-homey bra, however still is comfier than some of my 70s EM or Comexims. It doesnt give much support to my boobs but I didnt expect that, and I need this bra to ... feel good in it without feeling wires on my body and having red marks after wearing it. Also, the cups are slightly too small - next time I will go for 30F probably and that will solve the problem hopefully.
The panties size M but looks like S, obviously are too small on me -_- all over are dgging into my body - probably Id need to loose 10kg to make them fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />
Overall, some issues with it, but nothing major and that I cannot accept! I love it once again!

This is such a fabulous bralette! It is very high quality, and fits me very well. The band is very supportive compared to other bralettes out there. It runs tight for a 30, but is slightly too large for me as a person who prefers to wear 26 bands. However, this is not an issue since I only wear bralettes to sleep or for lounging around the house.
The elastic does cut in slightly on my larger breast, mostly due to my tall shallow roots, but I don't think the cups are too small. Perhaps I can try this in a 30E someday and ... compare the fit. It gives a very natural shape, and the cups are stretchy to accommodate asymmetry.
The fabric of this bra is extremely soft. It was designed to look beautiful and be comfortable at the same time.
The size range for Fortnight bralettes are pretty good too compared to SML from other companies. The only thing I do not like is the price point, but this is made in Toronto, which I have heard is a very expensive place to live. I'm lucky I was able to get this in a swap.
Overall, this is a great bralette to consider, especially if you are tired of SML bralettes that have tiny cups and huge bands.

While it offers enough immediate projection, it's only just barely. It is great if you have moderate or mild shallowness and are not FOB. It's also great if you have average projection and are not FOB. Great for broad and tall roots. I do wish the band were not lacy and the straps were thinner.

I love this bra. That's a good thing, because I have a lot of them.
I've tried most of Fortnight's wireless styles and I really love the Mira. It's comfortable, it's cool for summer, they're all pretty, and the shape isn't bad.
I have some East/West going on, but that's okay. As far as I'm concerned these are house bras that I can run errands or answer the door in. They give my bony sternum a nice break from underwires and I'll wear them on lazy house days.
I could do better with a 30E in this. As it is, it cuts in the center a bit. It's not terribly uncomfortable, ... though it does prevent me from going to the second set of hooks even though I should at this point.
This particular colorway is really summery and pretty. The blue is a great sky shade and it's just feminine without all the bows and frills. The jersey cups are nice and smooth and feel great against the skin. The lace underband is also soft. I do find the powermesh underneath to be itchy on very hot sweaty days, but other than that the Mira is like boobjamas.

I gave up on the Fortnight Luna bra after many failed trials - the cups cut in, sizing up just made them wider and taller, I even tried a few different colors.

I wasn't sure I would have any luck with Mira since many reviews say they're similar, but I like this one! It's stretchy cup fabric seems to suit my shape better than the mesh on the Luna. Perhaps it has a tad more give. The cutting in on top is reduced for me as well. It's a bit wide on me, but overall I love it!

The Mira is a very pliable and soft, soft bra. This one honestly feels like a luxury bra. Despite this, because it is constructed with stretch lace, it does next to nothing for support. I find this one easy on the band, but I honestly just think the way the elastic is attached is what bothers my skin - I don't think other people are as sensitive to elastic as I am, though. I think this is best used as a sleep bra or a "special occasions" bra, as it creates a low and wide profile that I personally don't like under clothes. However, my boobs are pretty heavy and are not self supporting at all. It's a very comfortable and beautiful bra, but doesn't do anything for me, unfortunately.

Let me talk to y’all about something… The Mira is BEAUTIFUL. It has lovely lace
