A very beautyful bra! I need a smaller size so can't tell a lot about the fit. Guess the band is rather generous

Initial impression: I've worn the bra once for a full day. I. LOVE. IT.

But... it does squash me a little. I need slightly more immediate projection than it gives. My right boob quads a tiny bit normally and a lot more in certain positions. It really does flatten my profile - not necessarily a bad thing, but makes me squashed toward the sides which I would prefer not. Want to try a cup size up.

Band is stretchy. I have it on the middle loops right now, trying *not* to wear it too tightly. I anticipate having to tighten more soon. (Combo of use and my losing more weight). Might have to go down to a 32. So then, 32FF/G.

And... it's pretty (minus the cheap-looking gem thing in the middle - I agree coledarling!), but the super-contrasting color combo does not make it practical for under clothes. But I kinda don't care.

Will have to evaluate when I wear it again.

i got this a while ago from a bratabase user as lightly used. there was a small amount of fraying along the top seam i know about, but judging from the new one i got recently already having some frays, im inclined to think its more of an issue with the manufacturing than the bra itself being worn or used. it seems pretty brand new to me, but unfortunately doesnt fit.

the styling of this is very pretty, aside from the sort of cheap looking gem in the middle. the straps are half adjustable, with embroidery on the front half. the band is one layer of mesh. unfortunately that makes it very stretchy, and is the main reason it didnt fit. i needed a 32 band, and the 32FF is a pretty good fit. the cups are nice and narrow on this, which is pretty great! im a slightly more shallow and tall shape, so the open cups on this are fantastic for me.

hopefully i'll be rehoming this soon!

im so happy i found this in a 32FF! i have a 34F that was far too large in the band so i never wore it, but this is nearly perfect. look wise, its very pretty, but a bit cheap in materials. some of the threads are already lose (and its brand new) and the gemstone in the center is plastic, which i could do without. the floral embroidery is gorgeous though. it isnt smooth under t shirts because of this, but honestly im so glad to find a bra that mostly fits that i dont care if it shows!

this has a single vertical seam, so its perfect ... for my tall roots and doesnt cut in at all. its a stiff molded cup though, so i do get gaping a bit, especially on my shallower and wider right side. because the apex of my breast is lower than most cups want, i also feel a bit of space in the cup, but nothing serious. its just something i have to deal with.

its one of the very few bras ive managed to find with narrow under wires, so thats the main plus. the straps arent so wide as to saw my arms off, another hard to find plus. the band is snug enough to fit comfortably on the first hook, though because its thin and made of one layer of mesh, it tends to roll onto itself (huuuuge pet peeve of mine augh!).

id love to see this in a more sturdy band, and different colors, but the recent rumors that masquerade is begin discontinued don't leave me very confident https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> guess id better stock up!

This is a very pretty bra! The details are amazing.

I got this bra slightly used, but the band is very loose. I would recommend this for someone who wears a true 30 or small 32 band. This surprised me because my Rhea in 28FF and Estepona in 30E are tight in the band. On this I have to wear it on the tightest hook.

The cups are the perfect size for me. They are lined and stiff, but not super padded. The shape I get is very rounded. When I move around, I get a lot of gaping, but I think that would go away if I was wearing a 28 band. I have short boobs, but I'm also shallow, and this bra is a great shape for me. This looks really good under fitted t-shirts, but the lace details will show under light colored shirts.

The straps are amazingly beautiful and I'm never embarrassed if they show under shirts!

I received this bra in a 2-bra grab bag from Breakout Bras, so I had limited influence over which bras I bought. I put down Harlequin (Masquerade) as one of my preferred brands because their bras are all so pretty I was guaranteed to get something I would like, even if the fit was not guaranteed. Plus, I would never be able to afford their bras on my puny student budget!

This bra is seriously gorgeous. I love the embroidery, which is even more enchanting in person, and the high-contrast effect it creates. The thread used for the embroidery is fairly thick, so that it ... stands away from the fabric and can be seen underneath most shirts. Because the bra is so colorful, it can also usually be seen under anything thinner than a heavy jersey. The band is sheer mesh, as is standard, but with much tighter elastic, so it creates unsightly lumps on my back while still not supporting me properly due to the fact that the band is on the larger end of 34 while I am not. The decorative "jewel" on the gore was a cheap-looking plastic jewel like something from an amusement park pirate's treasure chest. I cut it off immediately and found the bra much improved.

When I unwrapped the bra, it was extremely starchy. I have very sensitive skin, but I could not even stand to wear it for five minutes. After handwashing it, the texture of the bra was improved, but the embroidery, straps, and gauze along the upper edge of the cups still scratch after a while.

The shape from the side is very round, however, the straps are very narrow and cut into my shoulders easily. The back band is angled upwards slightly, so it always feels as if it is riding up, even when it is not. I have only worn this bra a few times, so I am not sure how much it will stretch out over time or whether additional washings will soften the fabric further. Even though I love this bra, I worry that it may not love me back. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This is a cute bra but sadly it doesn't fit me well, the center gore lifts quite a bit. The band feels nice around my 26.5" rib cage and the underwire is quite firm. I'm kind of sad that this doesn't fit, I received it in a bra grab bag and while it is a cute bra it probably isn't one that I would have bought off the rack in a proper fit.

I love the color and cut of this bra, it's so pretty. It's also too small for mehttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
