My favourite day to day bra is the goddess michelle, and a number of the qualities I love about Michelle are also evident in adelaide: a comfortable wire that isn't too firm, making it instant friends with my squish, pretty lace that isn't too frilly, and a supportive but comfortable band. Michelle was made specifically for small cup/large band, though, and I don't believe Adelaide was, so that's kind of where the comparison stops. Adelaide might be the first strapless bra I've seen that isn't molded or even lined; it's thin and soft, with a lace band across the ... top of each cup. Giving each cup shape are two pieces of boning that curve outward when worn, helping the bra maintain its shape when worn. It's an interesting bit of engineering, and not uncomfortable at all, since the boning is flexible, but the cups are VERY tall. For someone with taller roots that probably isn't a problem, but I have quite short roots, so the top of the cup gaped and wrinkled. The wrinkling wouldn't have happened were the cup molded, but the gaping would have happened regardless. There also isn't nearly enough immediate projection at the wire, which is one of the most important things I look for in a bra. The comfort of the cup, and the softness of the band and underwire compared to a brand like panache or even Freya, means I probably could have survived wearing it, but I'd like to find something better than "surviving".
