This bra is absolutely gorgeous and so high quality! I didn't expect it from the pictures online (especially the colour and shiny material didn't look too promising), but the quality of the materials and of the sewing is just amazing. It's the first time I try Maison Lejaby, but definitely not the last.
First, the construction - this is a three-part cup, with the top part being non-stretch lace. On the inside, the outer half of the top lace is doubled with an additional thin layer of mesh. The band is made of a thick one-layer knit fabric. The straps are only half adjustable. The materials are all ... soft, the lace is not at all scratchy.
The details of the construction look great and make the bra look very high quality - the lacy detail on the straps is very unusual, and the two fabric parts of the cup are not just sewn together, but they are connected with a sturdy lace material.
The fit is also very good, although the size is a bit too big for me. The cup width is average/narrow, the wings and the gore are relatively low. The wire is quite flexible - not Panache level hard, but also not Elomi level soft. There is absolutely enough bottom projection. Overall, the bra feels sturdy and stable. The shape it gives also looks very good despite the too big size, it's round but not completely half-sphere. I have short roots so there is empty space at the top near the strap, so I think this could easily accommodate also taller roots or more top fullness.
When it comes to sizing, definitely size down! Since this bra is a EU 85G, and my go-to size is UK 36GG, I expected this to be too small, but it's actually too big, so sadly it's going back.

Runs very big in the cup... this 32DD fits similar to many UK 32Fs. Beautiful fabrics and super comfortable. Traditional full cup look under clothes, i.e. a very defined apex without actually being pointy, but suitable for somewhat low-cut tops as the gore is not too tall. Band is true to size--not nearly as snug as older (2015 and prior) Lejaby Elixir bras but not as stretchy as current main collection Maison Lejaby bands.
