I really adore the unique design of Amelie. The way the cup fabric continues into straps looks novel and amazing, and the embroidered lace is absolutely beautiful and looks like pearls. This bra is super sexy but still sophisticated!
The construction is quite delicate and not necessarily the most supportive (but maybe that’s not really the point). The straps and band are thin, and the fabrics feel quite stretchy overall. The lower, sheer mesh sits completely smoothly on my body, which is rare for an unpadded bra. The lace on top is not attached to the mesh and it needs to be adjusted when putting on, but it mostly ... stays in place after that. The shape I get in this bra is slightly pointy, and I feel that a major contributor to this is the thick seam of the lace fabric that lies at the most projected part of the cup. There’s side sling made of white mesh inside the cups, and I think might be less practical for darker skin tones.
The cups definitely have a lot of projection! The wires follow my narrow roots for the most part, but get a bit too wide towards the top. They feel pretty firm as well. There is an elastic trim at the top edge of the cups that cuts in slightly on my FoT boobs. It doesn’t look horrible, but I think Amelie would suit more FoB shapes better. The band is tight, completely passable as a 28, and I can wear it on the loosest hook. The gore tacks very firmly. Despite being a plunge, it’s a bit too high or wide for me, and it’s already sitting at the edge of my breast tissue. The gore is my least favorite part of this bra.
In the end I rarely wear this bra because it’s not exactly the most comfortable or practical. But it still makes me feel pretty fabulous.
