This is a very pretty, retro bra that I managed to get cheap (99 pence on eBay? What a steal.). It fits technically, but the shape it gives is horrible. The cups are half soft, half padded, and final result looks like those vintage bullet bras; breasts get very conical. Oh well https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This bra has great lift! It runs a whole cup size small, but once adjusted for that, is about average, I think. I had read elsewhere that the band was especially firm, and I see that it measured a bit small, but it certainly didn't feel tighter than normal. The gated back was very comfortable.

As the t-shirt pic shows, the seam between the padded and unpadded portions of the bra is VERY thick. It will show through all but the thickest fabrics. This looked great under a sweater.

The other detailing on the bra has a nice luxe feel. The hardware is rose gold and the whole thing is kind of retro glam.

Besides the seaming, the other negative for me, was that the apex was a bit too far out. Again it looked nice under a sweater, but too east/west with anything thinner. Because I rarely wear thick clothing, I will reluctantly be sending this one back.
