I got this bra in a swap and I think it's very pretty, reminds me a lot of the old Elle Macpherson bra called Cloud Swing in that it has a large allover lace pattern with a very utilitarian stretchy ribbon band in another colour. I wanted to love this bra but it's a thoroughly mediocre fit for me. Before I received it sounded like it would be wide and shallow (which it is) with a tight band - the band to me is very true to most 30s which was a relief as it's not too tight after all.
The thing that makes the fit for ... me a little odd is that the bra is reasonably open on top and my breasts fill it for the mostpart eg near the gore and centre of the cups, but each cup has almost excess fabric where the cup meets the straps which kind of flares out a bit in a weird way. If you were full on top it would probably not be so obvious, although as long as I wear a reasonably loose top (which is pretty much all I wear tbh!) it's not visible under clothes and doesn't really hinder the fit, it's just a bit odd. The straps are fully adjustable which is good but rather thin which isn't my preference. The structure is quite rigid and reasonably padded but as it's not a smooth cup it has a fairly prominent seam up the front centre of each cup (I would imagine this would become less prominent with wearing/washing as it softens and moulds to your body) - as a result I wouldn't wear this to work as too visible but prefer to wear non-padded outside of work - so as a result I've only worn it once so far and can't really see when I'd wear it again as it's just such an average fit for me. Prob will list soon.
