This is the best fitting bra I have ever tried on. My underbust is 28, and bust is 31. My boobs are shallow and bottom heavy. I get no gapping whatssoever. No gapping while standing, leaning, raising arms, nothing! There is no extra padding, just lightly lined. I'm not sure I would call it a balconette since the top part looks more plungey. But plunges are usually horrible on shallow breasts, and for some reason this bra works amazingly. The only downside is that some parts of the lace show up a tad lumpy under a shirt, but with this fit, I don't care about something so minor.
This bra is the same cut as the Just Peachy Lace Padded Balconette Bra (good for shallow and wide). It should be noted that the Ivory/Spearmint colourway is much looser in the band than the Charcoal/Fuchsia colourway I have.

The bra isn't as much of a push-up bra as it has minimal built-in push-up style padding at the bottom part of the bra, but I like this because it means it doesn't entirely displace your breast tissue.. however, it doesn't push your boobs up and give you cleavage the way a proper push-up bra would. This is more like a moulded bra with some padding.
This bra fit me well, but it was so pointy that I had to return it. Too bad I really liked the color and embroidery, but it was too pointy for my taste.
I found this a very strange-fitting bra.. This was one of the first bras I bought when I down-sized to a 30 band, but it feels MUCH looser than the 32s I was wearing. I can stick my fist in the strap and pull it out from my body, even when on the tightest hook. The cups are massive, even with the interior padding. I could comfortably fit 32Bs with push up padding, but these ones (which should theoretically be a cupsize too small) gape ridiculously, even after scooping and swooping. The gore isn't flush, and there are strange areas of gapping all around my breast. Its like wearing a bra several cup sizes and band sizes too large, absolutely bizarre shape.
The band on this bra is pretty tight, which is great for me because I measure more of a 28 than a 30, but it's pretty stiff/tight even on me. The cups seem slightly smaller than my Just Peachy Trellis, but I just bent the wires a little to make it wide enough for my boobs. I got the nude/red one and I really enjoy that color combo more than I thought I would. Very nice for shallow breasts, even though it has 1 horizontal seam
At first, the underwires and the gore of this bra really seemed to dig in to the bone against my underbust, and the first day I wore it, it was always noticeable and uncomfortable.
I think now after a few days the bra has settled out of the packaging (probably got squished around a bit?) and the underwires are much more comfortable (but still snug). Gore tacks amazingly...maybe almost too well since it's on the brink of digging in (but not). The wideness of this gore actually accommodates the wider set separation of my breasts so there's less gaping between breast & gore but a beautiful contour.
The cups fit ...absolutely perfect for my wider set, even shallow breasts. The shape is wonderful and lifts without being overly thick and padded The lace does seem to be a little on the cheapy quality end but I bought the hot pink so the color probably makes it seem that way. Lace is definitely discreet enough to sit under medium sheer shirts without showing bulk. The diagonal seam on the cups does make it just a tad pointy (in a horizontal way). I do have to wear this bra on the tightest hook since the band, being a 30, is still too big for my <28 underbust, but it's definitely snugger than most 30 bands I have tried.
Underbust: 27.5 Bust: 31.5-32 Great bra for the price, highly recommended for small & shallow, espec. if you are stuck between the 28C/D range. I probably could fit in the 30C since my left boob is alllllmost quadboobing out of the top but it's not a "cut in" but a nice rounded cleavage. 30C might be more coverage. Read more 176 more words
Almost but not quite fit. Cups are a touch too small, with definite cutting in on one side, and the gore seems too wide for long-term comfort for me. While the rest of the bra is pretty, the straps are your very basic ribbed strap, and there's something odd about the inside padding that makes it feel like it's wanting to stick to me.
Edit: turns out the bra fits MUCH BETTER when I'm not retaining water. Still a tiny bit of cutting in on my larger side, but not enough to bother me or to show under a shirt. Fits perfect on my smaller side.
