Holy shape mismatch, Batman! I want to love this bra because it reminds me so, so much of a softcup Ewa Michalak Pl Violet (165) in terms of color, but the shape is all wrong for my breasts-- not projected enough, which pushes the cups down enough that I quad slightly in it. It's a shame, and I may keep it anyway because *violet soft bra*, but it doesn't do much except make them pointy-- not just in the vintage, bullet bra way (it kind of does that too), but in the "my boobs exist in a space on my chest that is about three inches ... tall" way. It's not noticeable under my work uniform, so I wear it anyway, but I wouldn't wear it under a more fitted outfit.
Onto the bra itself:
The cups are made up of a double-layered mesh bottom, with delicate leaf-like stitching in the same shade. The cup upper is a single layer of non-stretch lace. Off of my body, the cups look far more projected than they actually are-- damn you, Kris Line, and your deceptive but beautiful bra!
The band is about an inch of what appears to be the same non-stretch lace as the upper cup over the same mesh as the inside bottom cup, side boning, and then the rest is nylon in the same shade as the rest of the bra. The hooks are a slightly lighter shade, halfway between the shade of the bra and a pure white.
All in all, it's a beautiful bra and I may keep it to see if it fits better when I've lost more weight, but for right now it's definitely not a bra that fits well.

You are so right, it is a lovely bra and very pretty. I love the detailing on it. I too have a few bras that are pretty and look lovely on but dont fit me but i cann't bring myself to get rid of them.So i hang on to them hoping i loose a bit of weight so i fit into them. I wish you the best of luck.
