I absolutely love this bra! It offers great support & is very comfortable to wear. I have found the two Le Mystere Lace Tisha Bra (965)'s that I own are the wrong size for me in the waist & The lace does show through tank tops but I'm absolutely sure that if I got my hands on the correct size I would never take these off. No wonder they're Oprah's favorite bra!
I really really wanted this one to fit! It actually fit great everywhere except the top and is so comfy. The band is a bit stretchier than most 32s however.

I was looking for a wireless, t-shirt friendly bra to see me through the last trimester of pregnancy when I bought this on sale from Le Mystere. I like the appearance of the lace, which isn't itchy at all. However, the shape it gives it really odd. The deepest molded part of the cup squashes my boobs; it looks like I have a set of rectangular boobs from the top. The cups also push me out wide enough that my arms brush the sides of my boobs, which isn't usually the case. I'm no expert on molded cup bras, so I'd guess part of my issue has to ...do with size. Pretty sure I need at least a 32FF or 30G at this point, but I couldn't return and compare due to the sale.
The band is very stretchy, and it digs in near the start of the wings.
Update: Discovered recently that a lot of my problems with bras looking rectangular has to do with how narrow my shoulders are. The straps pull the sides of the cups in and mess up the bra's shape. Because of this, I'm not sure how universal the "rectangular look" of this bra happens to be. Read more 94 more words
The main problem with this bra was that the entire front of it, the band below the underwire, dug into my ribcage painfully. The band itself was not too tight but I couldn't wait to get it off. Also, the gore wasn't even close to touching. And while the cups themselves laid flat against the tops of my breasts, the lace stuck up some which didn't look great under shirts.
I absolutely love this bra. It has nice supportive cups, the band fits very well, the straps aren't digging into my shoulders. I'm popping out on top a little bit, but with how it's constructed I don't feel like I would fall out.
I have full round breasts and I think maybe the plunge design just doesn't work for me. Slight quadboob on my larger side, but the bigger problem is I don't really feel like I'm *in* the bra. It doesn't seem to enclose me properly. Can't say if the gore lies flat against my chest because there's hardly any gore to speak of. I do like the firm band with 3 hooks (actually feels almost as tight as my 30 Freya). Cleavage looks nice, but I don't really need help in that department. Returning it.
I discovered two of these bras (tan and brown) in good shape at a thrift store for a few bucks and bought it. Unfortunately, it just isn't for me. Initially, the cups were too big, but they now fit. While the band is firmer than my current bra (wacoal 853167), it still isn't quite tight enough on the tightest hook. Also, the straps don't fully adjust, so I ended up taking up the straps a good two inches, but now the cups dig into my armpits, so... The underwires dig into my ribcage, too. I'm also not happy with the shape it gives me now that the cups fit - rather pointy and east-west. My little sister noticed right away when I changed into this one from my wacoal bra.
I would suggest trying this out if you get a chance because it seems like a lot of other people love it and it seems to be good quality, but it just didn't work out for me.
I love this bra. It fits my augmented (HP) breasts perfectly, and is comfortable to wear. I wear a 32E in this bra, but a 32G in the Carina and the Lace Tisha, so the fit is different. I have sensitive skin, and it doesn't bother me at all. The straps are nicely padded.
I'd heard so many great things about this bra, but for me that's just not the case. Fit is one issue, as it's much too big around and much too small in the cups. The other issue is that this bra is truly, incredibly ugly. I was actually relieved when it fit so poorly. I'm 24 and just seeing this bra in my drawer would make me think I was 60.
The straps are very wide, I'm sure for comfort, but taken to the extreme. The body of the bra looks and feels like armor. If it fit it would probably ...be invisible under a T-shirt, as it's nearly completely seamless with hidden underwire and a great nude color. It looks like it would be supportive and it's clearly well made, but it's definitely not for me.
As for fit, it wasn't even close. The underwire sits at least an inch away from my sternum, partly because the band is simply too big, but also because my breasts don't come close to fitting into the cups. I tried it in both an F and G cup, and they're both so far off I couldn't tell any difference.
The more I think of it, I think the issue isn't so much that the bra doesn't fit me, but rather I don't fit this bra, because the bra itself is not one that will forgive or conform in any way. Read more 140 more words
This bra fits great. Full coverage with no gapping at the top. It's extremely comfortable. The band is tight, but not overly so. I would definitely buy another in a different color. Great everyday bra.
I'm SOOOO disappointed this bra did not fit me. It's beautiful & soft but only go up to an F cup. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
