This bra is everything I want from full-bust design (aside from its size range). It isn't trying to be full coverage, it might really fit a full-busted person, it's got a really interesting and compelling cut, I haven't seen it done 100 times in the full-bust market, and it's not attempting to sacrifice comfort for its sexiness. The print is AMAZING, not a tired floral, but one that pops even though it's so dark. I think I screamed when I saw this bra back in 2014. I didn't understand why Gossard saw fit to cover its great fabric choice up with eyelash lace, so I took to the ... bra with scissors and removed all the lace from the cups. In short, this bra reminds me why I'm so sad I'm sized (and shaped) out of Gossard now.
That said, the bra never had a chance of fitting me, even one cup size ago. This bra is from the time when Gossard's bands ran 1 size small, so the 32 band fits my size-30 really well. However, the cups are on the smaller side. This bra could work for a 30G, but not a 30GG like I was, and definitely not for my current 30H boobs. That sure isn't stopping me from breaking it out very occasionally: it's just that interesting. The cups have a cool shape, almost like a quarter-cup bra but a lot more secure. In the right size, I think my boobs would be mostly exposed but definitely wouldn't be at risk of falling out. The band fits me very well. The fabric and inner cup foam is really soft, and the cups are structured but not at all stiff. I'm projected and this bra is shallow, to the same degree or a little less than Freya's half cups, but it wasn't shallow enough to get me out of the cups.
The quality isn't all there, which would've been a real pain if I had bought this full price. But I don't mind that sacrifice for getting the bra as cheaply as I did off of Ebay. Within the first 2 weeks of using it, the lace making up the inner portion of the band was breaking, even though it felt sturdy. However, the eyelash lace on the front of the cups was attached fairly solidly. I had to be careful and mindful removing it, and needed to sew the fabric overlay on the cups back together after removal, which might be good news if you like the lace.
Make me an offer if you'd like to try this bra. I like it so much that I'm having a hard time listing, but I know I'm being absurd. I should share the love.
