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. Read more 117 more words
I'm not sure which came out first but I think they just similar looking by coincidence. Fortnight is actually a Canadian Company that's made in Canada, which is pretty cool!
The rumors? They're true-mors. These are great bras, y'all.
Quality: Can't speak for their longevity, but the fabrics are gorgeous, firm, and I feel in no risk of them failing (I've got this in the Ivory/Champagne colourway). All the seams are smooth - no weird rumpling, loose stitches and unfinished hems like you tend to find on Freya bras. It feels like a happy, well-paid human made it, which is always nice. Comfort: VERY VERY COMFY. I think my ideal Luna size would be a 32E, because I could stand a little more fabric in the cups and the band is, as the previous owner noted, LUDICROUSLY SNUG ...- but with the addition of an extender, this bra fits like a dream. The elastic is all plushy and non-itchy. The band doesn't ride up like a Freya longline, even on my weird-ass ribcage and very short torso. There's a silky, utilitarian ribbon across the tops of the cups that keep them from itching against my upper cleavage region. The straps adjust easily in the front. These designers thought of everything. Appearance: The support these things lend is, as has been previously established, pretty crazy for a wireless bra. I tend to be self-conscious about perceived droopage and this bra has been a real blessing. It's also pleasantly minimizing for days when you just don't need all that mammary tissue up in your face.
IDEAL USES: I've been using it as pajamas which feels a little wasteful, but it's equally useful as a casual hangout bra. I've always been jeal of girls who can pull off the bra-less look (looking at you, chicks in 80s-90s action flicks): this is the equivalent for the full-bust set. Wear it with cut-up band tees to feel truly punk. It might even be good for dancing when an underwire feels like too much and sports bra isn't an option.

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. Read more 86 more words
It's comfortable, it's cool for summer, they're all pretty, and the shape isn't bad. The Vega is best for hot sticky weather. It's more supportive than Mira, less rigid than Luna. The fabric is really thin and breathable. 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.

Beautiful color. For me the Vega seems to run smaller in the cups than the Mira for sure by a whole cup size, and maybe a half size smaller than the Luna, so I went with a 30DD in this and it fits perfectly.
The fit on this is pretty good. It looks like I'm a 30D in Mira, and a 30DD in Vega, and Luna--I can almost go either way. The 30D in Luna is a good fit too, the only difference is that the 30DD fits my larger breast well, and is slightly big on my smaller breast. Overall I just really appreciate that fortnight's longlines work for my wide-set shallow breasts.
I'm super impressed with this bra. I bought it used but the band is still super firm, which provides good support since there is no underwire. It might actually be too tight for my 30" underbust if it was new.
I was a bit skeptical about the light blue and beige color scheme, but it looks pretty cute. It's unique!
The cups are a bit wide set and could be more narrow, but overall I like this. I have bras in both 30DD and 30e. There is no quadboobing in this but I feel like sometimes the band sits on my breast tissue a bit. Maybe this is the ...consequence of an unwired bra. Maybe it's because I need a bit more immediate projection. I think a 30E would work a bit better for me. However, It's comfy and I can see myself wearing it regularly.
The downside is that the shape it gives me is very blah - I guess this is somewhat expected with an unwired bralette. It looks terrible under clothes on me, and I'll probably never or rarely wear it out. Without clothes, it looks awesome though... https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> Overall, i really can't see spending the retail price on something that gives me this shape. I love the bralette trend happening lately, where you wear them with a shirt that lets it show off, but I don't feel like this bralette is right for that either - it is too bra-like, maybe. Or maybe it might work if it was in a fun, bright color or just a plain black. So, overall, I reach for my VS bralettes way before I reach for it when it comes to fashion and shape.

I wonder if that bra is the Watson pattern? https://shop.clothhabit.com/products/watson-bra-bikini?variant=939719301
