Lace is not itchy but soft and I feel like I'm not bothered by this bra at all. I'm not tugging at it or pushing the straps up, which tells me they aren't set as wide (like Freya seems to be for me). Being seamed, there is a little show under lighter weight sweatshirts. I am close set, little more bottom heavy, not overly projected and this one is almost perfect but find after a few hours my tissue migrates to the center. Not a deal breaker. Seems to have good side support too. A 2.5" gore height would be ideal.
This is a relatively wide and shallow cup. The top of the cup is pretty open on top for a three-part cup, which is surprising. It works well for my tall, wide, shallow roots.
The band fits true to a 28 band and is pretty comfortable. The elastic is relatively plush.
It has a single row of hooks, which I'm irritated by, but I guess that's Gossard.
This colorway is a bright reddish pink, which I only got because that was what Amazon had in stock. It's really not my thing so I'll be returning it and keeping an eye out for better colors.
This is a bit of a push-up bra, so the bottom and sides of the cup are more thickly padded than the top of the cup. So like other push-up bras, the bottom and sides of the cup are very shallow. The rest of the cup is pretty shallow and open on top - it's great for tall, wide shallow roots.
The band runs to a true 28 band and is a bit tight brand new.
The material is comfortable, not scratchy, though I could do without the bow and charm on the gore.
The straps are middling plushness - not the thickest, but also not that thin. ...
The single row of hooks seems to be a Gossard thing and I hate it. Somehow, a single hook is more of a pain to connect than two hooks. I guess at this size two hook support isn't super necessary, but the thinness of the band across the back with the tight band isn't really what I'm used to.
The nude color is a light-ish beige.
This fits me pretty well, though I do get a little gaping if I'm not perfectly standing up straight. The bottom of the cup is probably too shallow for me, but the thickness of the cup means that any issues there are well hidden. Read more 110 more words
Not a bad bra, but doesn't give very much lift or forward projection compared to similar plunges like the Panache Ana. I think the padded plunge does a better job of giving lift, but both bras do not give me as much of a round, forward-facing shape as other seamed bras by Panache, Cleo, or Comexim. I have projected, soft tissue and need narrower wires and/or a side-support panel to bring me in. I think this bra may work better if you are more self-supporting and need less structure to get your desired shape.
This bra is great! The cups are narrow enough, and it fits comfortably. It is slightly slightly too big in the cups, and I get a little bit of gapping at the top edges (worse on my smaller side). I think it might be as good as it gets though for a padded bra. It makes my boobs look great. I will note, I normally wear a 30D, and do in the unlined superboost. I'm really a 30C, but can never find my size and often have to settle for too big bras. For some reason 28DD fits better in this specific style. I usually run into issues ...being too center full for a bra's shape, and the wires being too wide. This bra is perfect in that it has narrow enough cups, and enough immediate projection at the gore to accommodate my center fullness.
As a side note, I tried 6! different sizes of this bra searching for the best fit, and 28DD was as good as I could get. 30D was bigger in the cups. I wish they made 28D or 30C. 32B was giant in the band on me, but absolutely perfect in the cups. Read more 89 more words
I'm very center full with narrow roots. I'm more full on bottom, but generally need non-shallow bras that are more open on top to accommodate my center fullness.
This bra is almost a perfect fit for me! The cups are narrow enough, and don't cut in at the center. There's a little wrinkling at the top of the cups, but it's not too terrible. I really like the rounded shape it gives. I think this would be absolutely perfect in 30C, but that size doesn't exist. Overall, I really really like this bra despite it being too big. It's one of the most comfortable bras I've worn, and it give the most lift.
I tried this bra in 28DD and 30D. I'm somewhat in-between sizes 30C/D, so I tried this size just in case as it doesn't come in 30C. The cups fit pretty well. If anything, some very slight wrinkling at the tops. The band fits and can fasten, but it is uncomfortably tight.
The design of this bra is adorable. I found the band to be very supportive, and I really love the bra--however, the cup edge does not sit flush with my breast, and there is a fair amount of wrinkling at the sides. The wires were way too wide for me (I have somewhat narrower breasts), which made the band feel too small so unfortunately I couldn't keep it. Though the lace is a little scratchy, I imagine this would go away with washing. The quality is good and I would recommend for someone with wider breasts.
HOW IT FEELS: This is the 2nd size I’ve tried in this bra. I previously tried a 32F- comfortable, but I wanted a smidge more coverage. The 32FF was perfect. The only spot where I’m even aware of the bra on my body is where the cup touches my arm pit a little more firmly than a strap does.
The low gore is the biggest seller for me. I’m so close- set that gores on the two extremes work best. Super low gores like this hit below the center tissue, and super high gores sit slightly on tissue all the way up. I can do middle height gores ...if I bend the ends of the wires slightly away from my chest.
This non-padded plunge has a generous side sling that helps pull all of my tissue forward.
ABOUT ME: Tall roots, very close set (less than a pinkie width between breasts), slightly center full, even vertical fullness (possibly functionally FOT due to tall roots). Average for projection, root width, and tissue softness/firmness. I think my tissue is soft enough to where shallower bras can work ok for me if they're more open on top, or taller cups.

Feels light like a bralette, but underwire and construction keep the breast tissue from spreading to the sides. Nice cleavage, and super low gore would only be visible for a top cut lower than the IMF line.
It almost was a perfect fit. Almost. The top of the cups have JUST too much material and I do not fill it right. Too bad, because it is a very pretty bra
this bra almost fits, with the slightest bit of wrinkling on the top sides. it is quite closed up top and cuts into my FOT boobs, but the main issue is i hate the shape it gives me. my center fullness pushes my boobs out into two different directions in it and the wider gore does not help. i think this would be a nice bra if for shapes with even horizontal fullness and FOB.
This is another one that is SO close. The gore is a little shorter than most, which can be wonderful to try and skirt my sternum issues. If it was available in a 28GG or 28H, I would give it a try, but as it is I think the cups are just a hair too small on deep inhales.
Since I purchased this bra, I've only tried it on for short periods twice. It's comfortable with a very stretchy band. Because of this, it doesn't offer the support I'm used to. I wanted to try it in a different size, but I refused to pay return shipping fees.
The thin straps and single hook & eye don't bother me. It is a beautiful bra & I love the color.
If I keep it I'll use it as a lounge/casual bra.
What I recall about purchasing this, and the Supperboost Padded plunge (NWT sitting in my drawer) is that I wasn't able to exchange them without paying shipping fees. That was a lesson I took to heart. They will never get my business again. I didn't want my money back, I wanted to try a different size.
I’ll donate or sell them for shipping only - eventually.
This is my first bra with a tight band, before I was wearing a 32 or 34 band. The fit is tight but overall way more comfortable than my previous bras because the band and cups don't ride up during the day.
I had tried a few bras (I remember the PANACHE Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) and FREYA Tailored Moulded Plunge (401131)) in the store as well. With those bras the wires were painfully digging into my sternum, leaving me with bright red marks after trying them on for just a few minutes. With this bra I had no issues, the center part is very low compared to the other bras.
This is indeed very pretty. I, myself, would keep it and tack down the lace with a few stitches because it does look lovely on you.
