Just... hmm. Very different in proportions to the UK brands I've been trying. The Keira has a five-part cup - four panels of very nice, soft satiny material on the bottoms with one horizontal seam and 2 vertical seams. Then another horizontal seam separates the top sheer mesh panel. I wish more bras were made of this material! I also liked the stormy blue colorway. But the cups. So large, so wide, so much coverage. They gave me a fairly natural shape, but wider than I like. I have kind of wider shoulders and narrow hips, so wide on top just looks too out of proportion on me. ... For someone with wide hips, it may give a nice hourglass effect. The wires went well under my arms; in one shot you can see a gap about an inch wide at the bottom of the cup on my smaller side. And 17" wire length means they dropped very low as well. In the angle shots it looks like my boobs take up half the length of my torso! Um, thanks, Keira, but I really don't need them to look even bigger than they are.

A good, serviceable bra with pretty colors. The band at the top of the cup will cut in if you are more full on top.

The gore dug painfully into my breastbone. Also the cups were too big for me, with wrinkling on the top.

Super comfortable. Nice silhouette, good support. Seams very visible under clothing.

Gore didn't tack, wires too wide and tall, not enough room in bottom of cup

Although the band size was correct for me, it felt like the band was "falling down", probably because the underarm wire was too high, and the overall cup size was too large for me. 36M (US)/J (UK) was recommended for my measurements, but I think the cup of this is too big in this bra style. Also, gore is VERY high on this bra.

This bra fits me perfectly--after sizing trial and error, of course. I have really low hanging breasts that are nearly deflated on top. I've lost weight and breastfed, so I have a lot of empty tissue. This bra lifts me up and the 4 piece support helps shift the tissue up and fill out the cup perfectly. There's no gap at all at the sternum, no side boob, no cup gaps or bulging (which I have a big problem with...) and the straps are comfortable. I love the band-it feels more supportive and nothing sneaks out underneath. It does stretch out a bit, and it doesn't last as long as I'd like. But honestly, after wearing the wrong bra for YEARS, I don't really care. It's a wonderful day to day bra!

This didn't work. Wires came to back of armpit. Did not tack. The wires rubbed together at Gore. Could see that in some positions the Gore could poke out making it visible beneath shirt. Sides so high that I got Orange in glass at bottom. Filled cups OK. Rode up back.

Though this doesn't fit me anymore after losing 10-15 lbs (I'm now a UK 30H), I'm reviewing it as it was when I bought it several years ago. It was my first properly-fitting bra purchase.
Band: Wide and comfortable and closes with 3 hooks. It did stretch out a bit, because I was wearing it almost daily, but this is a good-quality, supportive bra.
Cups: The cups have a 5-part design that keeps the same shape over the day - natural-looking, not pointy but not extremely round either. The seams are a bit visible under clothing, though. I could never fill the cup completely on my smaller side, so there ... was a bit of wrinkling, but it being a full-cup design with centrally-placed straps kept everything in place. Kind of broad and east-west, but at that point I didn't care and just wanted something comfortable.
Straps: I have small shoulders, and the straps were very comfortable and thick and stayed in place. I wish all bras had straps like this, sexy or not sexy. I'm not a huge fan of all the balconettes with the widely set straps.
Underwires: Reeeeeally wide underwires that practically wrap around to the back. I would say my breast roots are moderate to wide, but these were way too wide for me, I just didn't realize it. They were still comfortable, though.
Design: Not the sexiest bra, though the top cup section being sheer is cute. I like the little unobtrusive bows at the gore and the base of the straps, and the satiny magenta colour I have is beautiful. It doesn't look great under formal wear or anything super tight, but it does the job as an everyday bay.
Overall: It probably says something that this bra is now two sizes too large and I still on occasion wear it out in public, even though I probably shouldn't. It's so dependable and comfortable and makes me feel secure.
