This is similar to Freya's padded half cups (totally tartan, patsy etc.) but with a longline band. My issues with this bra: Orange in a glass Wide straps Wide wires
What I love about it: Supportive band Very pretty bra, can even be worn as a summer top if you're daring Fully adjustable straps subtle cleavage

I'm surprised this bra fits fine on my shallow breasts. It's not perfect because the wire is a tad too narrow and short so some of my boobs escape from the side but it's much better than my old T shirt bras. It's invisible under a white tee and it gives my boobs a very round shape unlike the Fiore Plunge and Ciao Bella
This bra is SO CUTE! It actually fit me better than the Deco in 28D (I am sized at about 28D/DD), actually with less gaping. It might be workable if the Jude didn't fit me better. But, the Cleo Jude and CK Smoothie fit me better than this bra, so I'm sticking with them!
This Deco model has a more closed upper edge, like the Taylor and Ashlee, so it might fit you better if you had minor gaping in the standard Deco model. It still gaped on me: I just don't have enough upper/inner fullness to make this bra work. It almost fit my larger left breast: just ...a nanometer of gaping if I wasn't slouching. However, the closed top is a double-edged sword because it contributed to massive gaping on my smaller right breast by pulling away as a unit. (Gaping would not have been as bad if this upper edge had not been reinforced.)
For some reason, the wires in this bra poke my sternum more than the original Deco in 28D. Possibly because they're no longer resting on my breasts.
Not a good fit for shallow, conical, medium-height breasts with lower fullness. Read more 85 more words
Extremely cute bra - I love the vibrant coral colour. It felt comfortable and the mesh fabric was nice and cool. The band was snug but not too tight on me - in fact, I would have preferred to wear it on a tighter hook. I am a 29 ribcage and I think this band is a little bigger than others I have tried. I think I had some wrinkling on the bottom of the cups on the loosest hook, but it may have been due to my inexperience and hurry of trying it on. It looked better once I adjusted it, but I did not wear it for long enough to see if it would shift back. I love the longline - great for preventing back fat!
I LOVE the look of the bra. It is probably the best fitting bra I have tried on yet. Unfortunately, I did not have $70 to buy one right now from Nordstrom, so I will have to search online or save up in the meantime. The fabric is very light and breathable. I love the "denim" look of this bra, but don't let it fool you - it is a very soft fabric and is not stiff at all. It fit comfortably and the band was snug, but I could have worn it on a tighter hook. The gore tacked but did not give me redness like a lot of other bras. I love the longline, too.
This is a lovely bra and seems very well constructed. This size is too small for me in the band, and just a tad too large in the cups. I have a little gaping at the top of the cups which can be eliminated by adjusting the straps to be very snug. But with the band so tight I must return it. I believe that this bra would fit me perfectly in a 30DD. The color is a bright coral pink with cream colored dots and lace. The pattern of the lace is fantastic, and the double bow at the top of the gore is a sweet addition.
The band is a little firmer than I'm used to but other than that it fits great. It's good for my shallow full on top breasts and the sides of the cups are low enough that they don't cut into my arms, which is a problem I have with a lot of bras. Plus, it looks super cute.
Honestly, this bra is awesome. It fits well, holds my boobs where they should be, doesn't pinch or poke, and is comfortable. It was a little tight when I first got it, but after a few wearings, it loosened up to a comfortable level.
I barely ever have to adjust it, but I do occasionally have to pull a small amount of breast tissue and skin (mostly skin) back into the cup at the armpit. The straps are slightly too wide-set for me, and through they don't fall off, they pinch the skin in my armpits a bit.
Also, the underwire on the left cup digs into my ribcage after ...about 20 hours of wear. This may change with wear, I do not know.
The center gore is not 100% flush with my sternum, but I believe that is because of my body, not the bra, as every single bra I have ever worn is the same way. My chest dips in at the sternum between my breasts because of muscle mass. It's the best it can be! Overall, I'm very pleased! Read more 71 more words
I have been trying to find this bra in my size forever and it popped up used so I grabbed it. Sadly it was too small in the cup for me and a quad like crazy.
The bra is beautiful and if I could find it in a 34-36g it would be perfect.
In theory, this bra should be perfect. Right band size, comfy straps, looks perfect when I'm standing up straight in front of the mirror. Unfortunately, things start going wrong when I actually wear the bra in real life.
(1) The top of of the cup gaps out away from my breast when I hunch my shoulder forward or reach across my body. Looks stupid if I'm wearing any kind of scoop neck or a shirt made of thin material. This makes me really sad, as the fit across the top of my breast is perfect when I'm standing up straight, and gives a nice smooth line under clothes ...-- as long as I don't move.
(2) The curve of the underwire is too deep and digs into my sternum. The rest of the band is comfortable, but this ruins it.
I desperately want to like this bra, especially as (a) I paid full price and (b) I want to encourage manufacturers to make accurate band sizes below 32. Sadly, though, I almost never wear it for the reasons listed above. Sigh. Read more 71 more words
Too excited on the price in the Rack; didn't notice all the empty space on the sides. I really wish Nordstrom would sell the full ranges from Freya and Panache, instead of starting at 30E https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />. I never wanted to gain a cupsize so badly!
It's gorgeous though. Absolutely beautiful! I would love this in my size.
The clearance price put me into some weird frenzy that made me think it fit at the Rack. It is definitely too big. I wish Nordstrom would carry these in 28-30 D-E; it's a shame they start at 30E for these bras. It leaves a lot of us out https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Simultaneous quadboob (more towards the sides) and gaping (center). Also, even though the cup width should be about perfect, the wires somehow sit almost an inch outside my breast tissue, even though it otherwise feels a little small... weird. Also also, it makes my boobs look so round and to the sides compared to my other bras that I just find the inconsistency a little odd. Struggling with whether I should keep it or not; it's nice to have a cleavage-y halfcup bra, but the fit is just so strange, I am not sure it is worth it.
Pros: Comfortable. Good shape (round, but natural looking). Really cute. Comfortable straps and band. High quality, soft material. Wires come to the perfect spot under my arms, and I usually have issues with this. Band is super comfortable, but still provides support.
Cons: Despite being a plunge, the gore still gets fussy on me. I have exceedingly close-together breasts, though, so this is not unusual, nor the fault of the bra. I have this issue with every center gore I've tried. Definitely not a dealbreaker.
All told, I plan on getting a lot of wear out of this one. It's the right combination of cute and sexy, it fits me well, and gives me lovely support without feeling like I'm trussed into some terrible boob contraption. I could probably wear it in a 30H as well for a more "proper" fit, but I prefer a bit more give in my band.
Also, I have the matching bottoms, and they're probably my favorite undies right now.
