A stunning bra, but sadly too big in the cups, even for my larger side. Tight band, deep cups, narrow wires - pretty much my dream bra. Sizewise its like an avg. UK 30FF, I'd say.

Beautiful cobalt blue color. Detailing on top part of cup is simple yet elegant. Small bow between cups ties everything together. Soft fabric, doesn't show under clothing.

3 part foam cup. Foam is not as rigid as a Deco, but still provides smoothing benefits. The plus side to more malleable foam is that it will adjust to your breast shape, unlike the Deco. This is the first "foam" cup bra I found that actually fit me, due to the malleability of the foam. The cup provides a lot of support, with great, natural, rounded shaping. A bit of cleavage, but not unprofessional to wear to work. Low wire on ... the side- great for someone who is sensitive to underarm chafing.

Straps are half-way adjustable in the back only. I didn't have an issue with them, but if you have a shorter torso, they may not shorten enough for you. Straps in the front are very sturdy and non-stretchy.

The band on this bra is very stretchy, but it comes with four rows of "eyes", so that you can tighten the band as needed.

Overall, great bra, but I lost a bit of weight and now the band is way too big!

It is a perfect bra. Underwires fit just right, the cups are incredibly supportive, and the band is made in a way that doesen't cut in the flesh while providing such good support that I feel that the straps are there just to be pretty. And indeed they are, together with the rest of the bra. Only downside for me is -again - the tight top. There is a line of fabrics that has to go. I find this issue in all bras that aren't half-cups, so it's not the fault of this particular bra.

It's so pretty! The lovely pink embrodiery on the same-coloured surface, the slightly more ... radiant strawberry color on the edges and bows, the keyhole central gore... It isn't a bra under plain T-shirts, it's a bra that you're supposed to feel like a sexy woman in.

A sexy AND supported woman. I'm totally in love with the construction of the band. It is only two hooks, that's true, but the fabrics it's made of acts like a firm elastic - this means that the two strips of elastics that are normally found on the edges of bras are jojined in a way that minimalizes any rolls that may occur in other bras. Indeed, this is the tightest bra I have, but it cuts in less than my loosest one. The fabrics of the cups is very firm and non-stretchy, which along with good cup construction atributes to the perfect supportive fit.

What to say more? I love everything about this bra.

Aaand I grew out of it. Too bad.

I love this bra, but the band is too big and the cup is too small in this size for me. Even so, the cups of these run REALLY big--it seems to fit more like a 38F UK. (I normally wear a 34H UK and finally settled on a 36G in this bra.)

It is very comfortable, narrow, and projected. The materials are soft and luxurious, very high quality.

I loooove this bra. The cups run really big compared to what most conversion charts I've seen show for French-sized bras--I normally wear a 34H UK and this 36G Fr is just about perfect. I do have to wear it on the tightest hooks, but I plan to alter the band down eventually.

I usually wear a 34H UK, so I was very surprised that this 36G Fr fit, but it does, and I love it. I do have to wear it on the tightest hooks, and I plan to alter it in the future, but I have not done so yet.

This bra is GORGEOUS. It really lives up to the price--it looks and feels very luxurious. The cup material is firm embroidered mesh, no stretch at all. I love the little details--the beautiful jade color, almost iridescent, the unique embroidery, the gore tassel, and the pleated tulle trim. The band is VERY soft and comfortable, especially along the underwire/right ... under my boobs where a lot of bands often give my somewhat sensitive skin trouble. My one quibble would be the scalloping along the cup edge--even though the top edge seam is perfectly flat, the scallops do not lie flat, which is visually unappealing both with and without a shirt on.

The wires are quite narrow. It has a very good immediate projection--I still have a teensy bit of empty space right at the bottom, but it's better than most other bras I've tried on. The center gore lays nice and flat on me. Its lower than the Lily, but not a true plunge--I love this as I find higher balconette gores to be a bit stabby sometimes, but I fall out of plunges. I would say it's fairly open on top, but without letting my escape artists go wandering--I don't have any cutting in or quad-boob, or extra room, and it feels very secure. The straps are half adjustable, which is plenty for me.

The shape is nice and round, but minimized and lower, not quite so up-front and center like the Lily. The embroidery is quite thick, and would be visible under a thin, smooth, fitted shirt, but I can tolerate it under the looser slubbed tees I usually wear (see photo).

This bra and my other Lejaby bra (the Mosaique, which is very similar) are my current favorite bras in my entire collection--even given the price and the loose bands--they are SO comfortable, and they fit great. I'll definitely be stalking other bras from this brand to see if some other cuts work on me too--I'd love to try some of their moulded bras.

A cute and pretty colour with whimisical embroidery. The straps are lined with a soft, almost suede like material that is amazing against the skin. Surprisingly the plunge cut cups and gore fit fairly well, unfortunately the wires are quite short on the sides as well, causing rampant side boob. The wings are also much too short, also causing sideboob. Another negative is that the cups have no stretch, with or without the embroidery. A nice idea, but only for much smaller cup sizes and not for band sizes much larger than mine. Too much side boob!

Look and feel:

The cups have leaf applique and embroidery. The straps have lace on them, but it's attached to a soft material so it doesn't itch. The seams on the cups also are covered in the same material so it's very soft and not itchy at all. The cups themselves are pretty transparent (I bought the ivory colour).

Overall, this is a very sexy bra that I would also consider to be an everyday bra.

Fit:
The cups fit fine, the band however is really stretchy. It fits best when it's on the tightest hook which is what you don't want for a brand new bra. It's a shame because it's really cute.

Miscellaneous:
This bra comes with a tag with a picture of the bra and numbers pointing to certain parts of it corresponding to notes about the indicated design features which I thought was nice.
