I loved the look of this bra and the firm band. I wore it a few times but noticed the bottom of the cup wrinkling. It was too shallow on the bottom for me.

This is a pretty bra, but fairly out there. The band is quite stretchy and the bra gives a fair amount of support, but no lift, and sort of flattens me in the middle, no cleavage for me! Very light and good for summer, also the straps and lace sort of make you want to have them showing over a strappy top.

Generally the plunge style bra does not work on me because I always seem to spill out the middle for that all too unattractive double boob look but this one seems to fit good for most the day. Ok, so still requires some tucking back in but only after a few hours of wear.

This bra is almost a fit disaster. But I love it anyway. I am still okay with cramming my boobs back in and creating a boobular look, and this bra is just sexy. I love the sheer lace, and the lift this creates. This bra is so rare online that I really have no choice but to keep this size or not have this bra. Maybe someone out there has a 32E though? I think this bra is very tight as well. I have to stretch it a lot to fasten it.

I was hoping the band on this one would be tight like other Gossard bras, but alas. It's very narrow and loose/stretchy, and there's wrinkling along the diagonal seam because of it. It's also quite flimsy, with thin wires and straps. I returned it in the end.

A pretty bra with nice shape and uplift, and good fit. Unfortunately, it's very hard to fasten , the strap placement is really wide, and the gore & wires weren't very comfortable. The band's also a tad to big on me, but it's a solid 28", so you might want to upsize if you're a genuine 30. In the end I couldn't keep it because I didn't see myself wearing it.

First of all, this bra is GORGEOUS. It looks very high quality and the fabric is soft and smooth. All the metal details are rose gold. The Gossard cage back is also very sexy and beautiful. The back alone almost made me keep the bra!
However, there was way too much padding in this bra for me. It makes it difficult to fit my FoB boobs, and since it all got shoved up, the cups were too small. The band is perfect though.
The cup shape is kind of strange - instead of being U shaped, it opened wider at the top like a V. So I couldn't fill out the tops of the sides - they gaped for me. I think you would need a wide root.
I also got a very slight pointy shape.

(A day later...) Wait a second! They sent me the wrong bra! I ordered a Retrolution Stayloe (http://www.bratabase.com/browse/gossard/retrolution-staylo-plunge-bra-8515/) but they sent me the Egoboost. It took me way too long to figure this out. This explains why it's not as pretty as I was expecting. Well, the review still stands, but I am definitely exchanging it now.
This thing stretches barely at ALL. I currently wear it with an 8.5 cm long extender on the last possible hook. It's CRAZY! I am too afraid to try to stretch it the full amount because I'm not sure if I'll keep it yet. But only the wings are stretchy, ... that's why. The most I was willing to stretch it out was an additional 4 cm, giving it a measurement of a whopping 62.5, a full 10 cm below the purported size of the bra. WTF? Any 24G's out there looking for a bra?!
EDIT: I can wear it without the extender. ALL IS WELL.
It is very comfortable. I can adjust my cleavage when wearing it, slipping the band up and down, tightening the straps. I can go all out with buttcrack cleavage or something a bit more separate. (Though my cleavage is uneven and weird so I have to go for buttcrack cleavage.) It does give pretty huge cleavage though. There may be some quadding, however. I am regretful that I didn't get a cup size up.
Note: There are NON-REMOVABLE pads. If only they were removable, this would be able to balance out my cup-bigger left boob and maybe even out my cleavage.

Pros:
- the lace is very stretchy, making the bra super comfortable to wear
- wide wires
- band runs tight for a 32
- natural shape (maybe slightly pointy)
- pretty appearance
Cons:
- seams are slightly visible under clothing
- cup is closed on top, so it's not suitable for full-on-top boobs.

This is a very pretty bra, sheer fabric on top of the cup. The band's very, very tight though! It stretches a lot, but I've used a band extender anyways.

The shape of this bra is much more full on bottom than my boobs are, and I get bad quadboob. I don't think this is a sizing issue, just the bra is completely the wrong shape for me.
The band feels like a firm 30 or freya 28, the cups are fairly true to size.

Super soft material and an excellent design. Love the open back panel.
The cups run too small, I get way too much spillage. I ordered it in a 30FF in Jade and hope it will fit better.

Absolutely stunning bra. The lace felt a tiny bit scratchy at first but felt fine after one wash and wearing it twice.
The open back panel is to die for and thankfully the straps are on the thinner side.
I do find the cups to be running a tad too small. I would probably get a 30FF.

As I already had it in 30DD, I knew it will be perfect again, now that my size is smaller, and I was right! perfect fit again, very open at the cup, allows my boobs to change their size over the month and still fit!
Also, it is very beautiful, petite white bras are hard to find!

Very pretty and made out of soft, comfortable materials. Unfortunately, the back runs extremely small. I measure as 28" around my ribs (27" break-the-tape style), but usually buy 30" bands for comfort. This bra has a 30" band, but it feels tighter than the 28" bands I own. It fits well with an extender, but that ruins the look of the open gate back. Would definitely recommend ordering up from your regular band size.

Just too small for my boobs. I'm a GG, hoped this might fit in a G because it was their largest cup. It did not. Really pretty though.

The bra doesn't fit me, so I'm just commenting on the construction.
First of all, the band runs tight. It feels more like a 30 band in comparison to most other bras I tried. The lace is rather stiff and rigid, not as stretchy as the Gossard Reverie, for example. It didn't stretch out much.
Pros:
- It's lacy and sheer, yet supportive.
- Fits comfortably, no poking or cutting in.
- Wide wires.
- Straps are fully adjustable.
- Quality seems excellent, except for the closure.
Cons:
- It has only one row of hooks, and the hooks and eyes on the closure are flimsy. The eyes got pulled out of the lining by the stretched band after only a few wears. You can easily reinforce them with a thread and some stitches - I wonder why Gossard didn't do that.
- Gives a pointy shape.
- Seams show through clothing.

I received this lovely bra from a fellow Bratabase member. I hadn't tried Gossard before, so I gambled on the size. It is very, very pretty, but . . . the cup is 2+ sizes too shallow. I'm concerned I just can't make a plunge work regardless of cup size because I fall into the center. This is not a problem I experience in the Freya Deco, but I also don't get any particular cleavage in that one either, so I thought I'd try the Gossard.
I do love the way the band is made on the Gossards; I find the open sections sexy and the overall arrangement to be very supportive. It doesn't seem as "skimpy" at the clasp as most 2-hook styles.
Quality seems high: stitching was lovely, materials felt nice, metal hardware.
Practicality would even be fairly decent in spite of the lace on the upper third of the 3-part cup.
I will be sending this one back into the universe for someone who has wider-set, shallower boobs.
