The bra is really cute with absolutely adorable detailing. The main color is a rather neutral blush pink, without the bright pink accents it'd make a very nice t-shirt bra.
Top section is stretch lace so will accommodate a lot of different breast shapes.
Bottom section is slightly not roomy enough for me - but the only bras that have enough space at the bottom for me are the Cleo Lily family and Ewa Michalak halfcups.
Underwires are rather soft but at this size it doesn't compromise support at all, if anything it just makes the bra more comfortable.
This bra fits great on my shallow breasts! I have yet to go a full busy day with it on, but it seems comfy. I think someone said it before, but it does add a bit of a pointy shape, but I don't think it's terrible! So far I enjoy this bra :]
Overall, I love this bra. I fill the cups perfectly with the padding, and there's removable padding that'll be very useful with my hormonal boob-size fluctuations. The band fits nicely on the first hook right out of the box (I imagine I'll need to tighten it sooner because of this, but at least I won't suffer the first 5 wears).
Although the center gore isn't perfectly flat, it's very very close, and it doesn't move when I do (I seem to be between cup sizes currently). The straps are a nice width and can adjust about ¾ the total length, stopping where the lace starts. Additionally, they're set ...close enough together in the back that they don't slip down even on my small frame. The only issue is that the top of the outer cup is too wideset, so it cuts in a little on my armpit area. Perhaps the cups themselves are actually too wide. I like it enough either way.
Finally, the lace design is lovely, and I like that there's a smooth inside so I don't have the design pressing into my skin. The triangle lace portion is a little weird, but it doesn't bother me and I imagine it'd be easy to remove if one so desired. Read more 104 more words
The first 2 times I tried this on it felt very tight but on the third try it seemed to have softened up a bit and felt ok. The hooks at the back are fairly close together for a fuller bust bra and I felt like I could have done with them spaced out a bit, or to have 3 close together instead.
Awesome, awesome bra. Once I figured out that I needed to size down a cupsize in this model, the fit is incredibly comfortable and solid. I usually need a 28 band (especially in Freya) but the 30 on this bra is supportive on the loosest hooks. The underwires are narrow, and the underwires themselves are literally that--very strong, rounded wires (just barely flattened), which seems to sit on my body way more comfortably than wider, flatter underwires. I had to bend out the outer edge for comfort, but that's not a huge deal. The straps are narrow but comfortable. The stretch lace/elastic on the top edge of the cup is very forgiving and comfortable. The lace fabric is very soft (though things have a tendency to snag, like the other hooks in my undwerwear drawer) and the wing/gore fabric is even softer. The wing also has a single piece of flat plastic boning on each side for additional support, and it seems to do a good job of keeping the wing smooth around my sides and back.
This bra´s fit is problematic. The wires don´t go all the way to the center in the wire casings. The wires are not anchored in any way because there is not a band under them. That´s why when the bra gets pulled when I put it on, the wires get more separate and they cause weird denting to the cups. I had hard time deciding how to measure this bra and I measured the cup separation from the cups´fabric which is narrow. The cup separation based on the wire ends in is not stable because of the pull, it gets even to 4 cm! Please note that the ...band is a bit too loose for me, so the cups get pulled easily!
I get quadboob, especially in the center, when I swoop & scoop. I don´t have very soft tissue, so this is not a common problem for me.
The 30 band feels maybe a little too loose for me, usually I need 28 band so it is not a surprise. I feel like if I wore the bra, I would soon have to alter the band. There is onle one hook+ eye to close the bra.
The straps are partly adjustable. The bra comes with two set of straps, ones with lace and ones with no lace.
The bra looks good but is not a good fit when wearing it. Read more 121 more words
I love this bra, but like every Lepel bra that I have tried, it runs tight in the band and just a bit small in the cup. The details on the bra are great - ruffles on the straps, a tiny butterfly charm. The interior cup is seamless.
It is a little too open on top for me and definitely too tight in the band, so sadly, I am going to sell it.
This bra is made for someone with shallower breasts, so it was not a good fit for me. The the band and cups both run a little tight/small. It comes with removable pushup pads to boost the "oomph" factor. If you plan on using the pads, then I'd definitely go up in cup size. The pads would also serve well to even out assemetry.
The bra came as an undisclosed factory second (bummer ebay suprise!) and so had a cut tag and has a small tear in the center interior seam. It shoud be a simple fix.
Great bra for the shallow breasted brethren. Did fit beautifully, but unfortunately, I have gained a little weight in the past year (also may be experiencing tissue migration if that is a thing, or maybe I just want to tell myself it is).
Strangely, I tried another Lepel bra (the bouquet in 30E) and the band seemed to have less stretch. The Fiore Balconette seems to have quite a bit of give in the band, so if you're worried about it being a band size too tight, that shouldn't be a concern.
Otherwise, seems true a size and good for those with shallow breasts with a wide root. Can look a little strange under a t-shirt, though due to ornamental details.
It fits oddly. I wore it for work for 2 days to test-drive it and it was a little trying towards the end of the day. Underwires move around in the sleeve and poke me in the underarm, not a huge fan of that of course! There is boning on the sides also under the underarm, which was only a problem during after-work snuggle time on the couch. I strongly preferred it with the straps as opposed to without them, but will need to have them off for a wedding I'll be attending, which is why I bought the bra. I'll probably end up using it just for the wedding and any other strapless events, but not wearing it very often.
This is a very pretty bra with VERY soft fabric. I love the feel of the lace and the cup fabric. It's incredibly comfortable in the cups. Unfortunately, the wings are a tad bit too high on me, so it makes it uncomfortable to wear. If the wings were a bit shorter, I'd be wearing this bra all the time.
This bra was about a cup size too large for me. Other than that, I like the fabric and construction of it. It finds a good balance between being a molded cup and soft cup with the padding. The gore detail is really cute, as well!
This was the first bra I bought that was close to my correct size. Too small in the cups and too big in the band (that is quite stretchy) but at the time I was happy to move from wearing 32B bras to a 30D - the thought about wearing a 28F was still just too shocking I think!
The cups are deep and the wires narrow which is an excellent match for my breasts. The construction of the cups gives a nice, projected and somewhat pointy shape, though I'm not sure if the latter is caused by the cups being too small for me. Anyway, personally I liked ...the shape but it may not be everyones cup of tea.
Quality feels better than in your everyday bra. The mesh is soft and I adore the really thin straps with metallic (I think?) fasteners. Overall the bra just seems so light in appearance but gives a really nice shape and lift for the boobs. I have been trying to find a bra like this in my correct size as I don't think bras for my shape really need thick straps and bands to be supportive and comfortable. Read more 88 more words
This bra runs SUPER small! When I got it I had to check the tags a few times to make sure they sent the right size. It seriously looks like it is about a B cup! That being said, if you can try it on first and find the right size I think this would be a great bra! It's very pretty and it also has removable pads in the bottom side of the cup so if u wanted a push up for some occasions, but not always- this is the perfect bra!
