If this had been the first and only bra I ever tried on, I'd be thrilled with it. The low coverage, gorgeous purple color (much more vivid than product photos from Nordstrom and lagentbyap.com indicate), and sheer lacy cups are stunning. I tried the Electric Purple L'Agent by Agent Provocateur Monica Bra in 32E because the bra doesn't come in 30F. The band stretches to a bit over 31," which would be tight enough for me. The wires are wide enough, and the materials are soft. There's boning in the wings that feel more comfortable and less rigid than most boning I've encountered.

Unfortunately the cups run ... small, so my sister size 32E causes quadboob. The straps don't adjust short enough because they are only 1/3 adjustable. These minimally adjustable straps pervade the L'Agent by Agent Provocateur line.

If they did make this in a 32F or 30FF, I believe the cups would still be very low coverage on petite me. They are the lowest coverage cups near my size range I've ever tried on. My Ewa Michalak 3D Karmielki in 65F (UK 30F) is slightly higher coverage than the Monica. My Karmielki is a good fit, and I would consider it truer to size than the Monica.

The Monica Bra is a comfortable, beautiful bra that needs to be made in 30FF in Electric Purple.
