Beautiful bra. It's supportive but I should have sized up in the cups. The center panel doesn't lie flat which is the biggest issue l tend to have with bras

One of the best fitting bras I've bought this year! I have a big issue with torpedo boobs and while this doesn't quite give me my ideal shape, it definitely rounds out my breasts a lot more than most other bras. Comfortable for wearing on long days. Lovely lace details. The lacing does have bulky seams right over the nipples, so when worn under thin shirts it looks a bit odd.
Edit 8/2/19: I've had this about a year and a half. Unfortunately it didn't hold up to time as much as I would have hoped! I began having issues where, without any noticeable digging in or discomfort of the straps themselves, this bra would give me pain in the right shoulder after daily wear. I've also moved onto using the tightest strap and still find it's not enough to support me.

I'm new to well fitting bras, but this seems really stretchy. I think it fits more like a 34 band.

ABOUT THIS BRA
This is an molded, padded, plunge bra with J-hook.
Purchasing:
* $40 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns
* Not available with Amazon Wardrobe.
* Available in beige, black, and blue. (Other sizes have more colors.)
Band:
* One layer of a smooth, stretch knit with decorative lace overlay.
* Wing support: seaming.
* Continuous band - wires lower than wings.
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.
Straps:
* ridged elastic with outer lacy ridges
* soft (don’t stand up on their own)
* partial adjust (limited by sliding J-hook)
* leotard back
* J-hook
Cups:
* seamless half cup (Called a plunge, but in this size, the gore is rather tall.)
* no special side support
* unpadded, ... soft underwire
* Inner top edge of cup is edged slightly stretchy edge banding. Outer cup edge is slightly stretchy elastic that continues to the top of the band.
* Cups are thin foam sandwiched inside a smooth, stretch, opaque knit.
ABOUT ME: petite with wide, horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection (not shallow nor super projected)
* average-set (one finger width of space between breasts)
* wide roots (extend to the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FoB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares (not usually a fit issue, but I like that longlines make them disappear)
FIT DETAILS
Band:
* length: stays in place with wear, nice & snug, comfy
* wings: height good, smooth line
Gore: Tacks. Height & width fine.
Straps:
* Way too far apart. Slip, even when over tightened. The strap-cup junction is lateral to my anterior axillary line (outside of armpit crease).
* With J-hook, don’t slip but worsens tail of Spence pain.
* Adjust short enough.
Cups:
* Wires enclose all tissue AND it stays there.
* Top of cup: giant gap
* Bottom of cup: wrinkles or gaps (not enough immediate projection at wire). Wire pushed down to find more cup depth.
* Cup apex: fits (not too deep, too shallow, nor off-center)
* Outer edge of cup cuts into Tail of Spence.
* Side view: flat
* Front view: wide
ASSESSMENT & PLAN
* Horrific fit. Was having trouble with styles that were too projected, so tried a shallower style. This model is recommended for even vertical fullness and shallow-side-of-average projection. Sounded like a good match for my shape. WRONG.
* The padded cup is molded rather flat and too stiff to curve itself around the apex. The low gore and wide-set straps cannot pull the top of the cup back to the chest -- it gaps comically. Also, the cups look gigantic on my small frame.
* Too shallow. STOP.
* I would recommend this model for truly shallow boobs with average to wide shoulders. Not for shallow-side-of-average projection (nor more projected). Not for narrow shoulders.

Good quality, support, appearance

Really cute, and lightweight because of only one hook. Cons: the one-hook may not give the most support for bigger boobs. But it supports mine just fine.

This bra is one cup size too small for me but still makes it into my bra rotation! It works wonderfully for my slightly upper full, average projection shape. It’s also completely adorable! Would not recommend for someone with narrow roots or lots of bottom fullness.

Bulge out top, better for full on bottom breasts. Straps were too wide set for my very narrow shoulders and dug into armpit slightly.

Band on the 32E was loose, 30F fits well (I don't have a lot of "squish" so usually I go for 32E). Projected/pretty even, tall but "vertically shallow" roots that are wide-ish/not narrow, somewhat soft tissue. I'm center full when supported and it's hard to find a gore that works - needs to be pretty narrow and not too tall or it digs into my sternum. I think this isn't quite as round/centered of a shape as Cleo Marcie (which I need to reevaluate for fit, yo), but still pretty good lift and rounding. The crochet overlay acts as a side sling, I think, so that keeps things a little more centered than they might be otherwise.

One of the rare more projected and narrow bras available in Canada and on Amazon. The mesh on the lower portion offers some much needed support. The gore tacks nicely and the keyhole design is quite unique. Does not cut into my armpit, underwires do not poke!
The lace is a bit too rough, and the lace on the top portion could be more flexible to allow for more variation on the top fullness/shape. The lace has an additional elastic band at the top, which creates some minor rippling effect for me, being that I have more full on bottom shape. Or maybe it is because the bands are ... set a tiny bit wide so when I push them in it creates a small bubble for the top lace portion. The top lace being looser than the mesh support allows for more projection in the centre than at the nipple, which distorts the shape ever so slightly. Planning to fix it by stitching in the lace by hand a tiny bit.
Could benefit from more than one hook for the band. I find the lace pattern quite generic. Offers several colors though.
Near perfect fit anyway. Happy with this bra. It's a keeper. My husband finds it nice and sexy too!

This is and my Freya Mode are my first bras to actually fit! Yay!
I was wearing a bra size too big, and I finally decided to take the plunge to try something that the Bratabase recommended. It recommended three discontinued Freya half cups (Freya Tartan was one of them). So I looked at which half cups that had similar measurements/the same cut that weren't discontinued.
This bra seems to fit better than the mode only slightly, but they are the same cut and have very similar measurements. I think this one is my favourite because it seems more structured which works well for me because I have soft tissue.
I don't even get much gapping on my smaller side with this bra which is crazy.
The width is perfect, everything is great. I find it so comfy and it looks gorgeous, smooth under clothes, nice lift, perfect!

Likes:
- Its pretty
- Its strapless with removable straps
Dislikes:
- The band feels very tight and hurts my ribs in my back if worn for too long
- The cup seems too tall, it wraps into my armpit and there isn't enough breast tissue to fill the tops of the cup

Likes:
- Comfortable (probably the best fitting bra I've found)
- I like the look of my boobs in shirt wearing this bra
Dislikes:
- Its ugly
- The stitching is very apparent under shirts so I don't wear it as often as I would like
I really want to find a moulded cup that fits like this bra!

About this Bra
Purchasing:
* $39.94 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns (not Amazon Wardrobe)

Band:
* Made of a stretch mesh with a stretch lace overlay. Lace stretches horizontally only. Mesh has 2-way stretch.
* Elastic at top of band.
* Wing support: soft seaming
* Continuous band - band is straight under the wires -- a short longline (this won't provide any waist shaping).
* Additional seaming (not reinforced with boning) under each apex to keep band flat (spoiler: doesn't work).
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.
Straps:
* smooth elastic
* soft (don't stand up on their own)
* full adjust
* ... straight back (not a leotard back)
Cups:
* 3 seam (4-piece) half cup
* Underwire is unpadded but can barely feel.
* Outer fabric is a lace that stretches horizontally only.
* Structure comes from a very thin layer of opaque, non-stretch foam. These cups are just barely molded.
* Slightly unusual construction: Lace and foam were cut and sewn separately. They are attached only at the wire and top edge -- not at cup seams.

I am: somewhat shallow to average protection, wide and very tall roots, self-supporting.
This bra has pretty decent bottom projection for a strapless bra. I like the multiple front and back hook points (there are two in the front and two in the back).
It gives me a nice support with a natural, rounded look.
I did get this a few years ago so the measurements will reflect some wear. It's very comfortable and served me well but my cup size has gone up and I will have to let it go. I would recommend.
