I want to note that I got these bras when I was a bit heavier. Enchantment adds +4 inches to the band so my 34 was really more of a 30 originally.

Since the this model didn't have anything below a 34 band or above a G cup, my options were very limited. I initially got 34DD(US), the size I used to get in any and every bra to stuff myself into, simply because I didn't know any better. Somehow I lucked out with this particular 34DD which had fit much better than any other I've tried. The wires were much wider than standard 34DD wires (being a ... minimizer) and it wasn't until I had it that I knew it was something I needed. The gore wasn't awkwardly floating, the straps didn't dig in and it fit perfectly snug on my then 31 inch under bust. Thinking this was THE one, I went to get another. The price of my beloved 34DD went up and the 34DDD went on clearance. The cheapskate within me gave into the temptation and got the larger size. To my surprise, it fit even better the the first! The gore tacked better, the wires are wider, finally I found a bra that contained ALL of my side issue. A true ABTF moment for me! This was marketed as a minimizer for larger busted women but for me it fit like a regular, well fitting bra. Instead of being flattened out, it was naturally lifted and projected forward. Don't let the intended function of a bra stop you from trying it, the results might surprise you!

Back to the present, Ms. Lilyette is still a very comfortable bra for me, though with the band being a looser fit it now functions as a sleep bra. A 32G Enchantment would likely fit me with my current measurements.

This is a well made bra that is easy to find and often discounted. I highly recommend this one to those with wider than average roots with average projection. I would avoid this for narrow roots, obviously, very shallow roots and extremely projected breasts unless you don't mind the flattening effect.

Wider wires than most. Straps rest at a natural place on the mid-shoulder -- comfy and don't slide. The lace on the top half of the cup is lined against the breast -- reduces itch and see-through.

Strap fabric is a super smooth neoprene-like fabric making it super smooth against the skin (not the usual piece of stretchy fabric with elastic at the top & bottom edges). This would be a great choice for someone that finds most bands itchy.

Reasonably priced and easily available (Amazon).

Contrary to the name, I don't think it minimizes anything. However, with the wide cups, this isn't a push-up ... bra.

Haven't had it long enough to comment on durability.

UPDATE 10 months later:
* Still looks brand new. Elastic parts still as tight as day one.
* Have been wearing about once per week. Is washed after 3-4 wears (fewer in the summer). Machine washed, cold water, inside lingerie bag, normal cycle, hang dry.
* The best bra I own for controlling contains that loose skin where the armpit meets the chest wall (a.k.a. armpit rolls, a.k.a. axillary skin spillage).

This bra was too big and too small at the same time. I typically do best with balconettes and this is a full coverage bra. Because of my short torso, the top of the cup nearly reached my shoulder. Yet it was too shallow at the wire and the gore didn't tack - in fact, with the soft wires it stuck out two inches from my sternum. That part was laughably bad. I found the band to be very nice, soft, and almost padded. It has three hooks but four position choices. Also, the top of the cup is more sheer than expected. I'd bought the ivory for wearing under white shirts, while giving a rounded shape. I knew the fit would be a little off, but the see-through cup defeated the purpose. On me, it had a matronly appearance.

This bra is just plain out not my size. I was desperate for a bra. Bought it on sale thinking it was my size when it was not. BUT.... It is super comfortable and the fabric is so soft. I wish it fit me!

Great workhorse bra, fits like a glove and the elastic in the band is in between the two layers of fabric, so it's really soft. When on sale, I can get it at $15 in Amazon. The downside is that it's not pretty.

I like not having padding but, not always great with t- shirts. No cutting on bottom of band

This doesn't fit me but from looking at it, the band seems to be very soft and comfortable.

When I first bought this bra I loved how it minimized and separated. I didn't know much about how a bra should fit at the time, so I can't tell you if it fit well, but I do know that it was my favorite daily bra. Even when the seam of the cup to the wing started to separate on the left cup, I still wore it! I'm pregnant and have gone up a cup or two and I'm still trying to wear it until I get another bra that fits, and of course the seam is ripping more. I would buy this bra again.

I actually wear this bra a lot, despite it being not my size at all. I like the shape/feel of the cups; it's minimizing without flattening, and it keeps the breasts separate which I like. The seam on the cup does show through on some shirts, but it's not a big problem. I actually like the way the front of the bra looks too. I wish the bra came in smaller band and larger cup sizes and that the back didn't look like such a grandma bra, though.

I like this bra. It is comfortable. It is smooth under clothing. I wish it had a little more lift to it. As it is, it supports my breasts well. It is pretty.
