I was keen on trying a new brand as I tend to focus on Mimi Holliday and Freya so was glad to pick up this bra through Bratabase. Lovely looking bra, nice feel to the fabric of the cups, band, and straps, but I share the previous owner's pain with the gore. The wires seem stiff and my bony ribs do not accommodate well. I have now successfully replaced the wires in a different, painful bra with too wide and stiff cups and think that the Harem is another candidate. Looking forward to the challenge.

Later add.

I should have remembered about replacing the stiff wires with softer ones and would have saved myself lots of time! Instead, I removed the Harem's cups and sewed them onto a Mimi Holliday bra that was too small in the cups. Many hours later of removing stitches and hand-sewing, has turned the Mimi Holliday into a lovely Frankenstein bra.

The gore of this bra is very painful on me. I tried wearing the band higher, lower, tighter, looser. Nothing. Finally I tried bending the wires but could not get them to behave. I don't see this mentioned on any other reviews so it's possible that this is unique to the way the bra fits me.

The bra very nearly fits my larger side (just a little bit unfilled) and gaps noticeably in the apex on my smaller side. The band feels good, true to size. I agree that the seam between the upper and lower portions is visible under shirts, but it doesn't bother me at all.

Other than that, I think this bra is beautiful, soft with shiny fabric, and has real potential to be sexy and comfortable, for someone who it doesn't wish to murder. I am happy I got to try this bra and I hope to find a Masquerade that works for me some day!

Beautiful bra. The nude mesh matches my skin perfectly, giving the illusion that the lace part is sheer. Or it would anyway, if I could fill it enough not to wrinkle. I like it so much though that I may just have to acquire some small push up pads to help me fill it out -- there's not THAT much extra room. The band is just right. Overall very comfortable and well made.

Update: Acquired ridiculously large silicone push up pads from aerie. They came in a little opaque box with no product picture and were unexpectedly huge -- big enough to make the 28E Andorra look like a ... good fit on me, which it is not.
I stuffed them in this bra and they just about pushed me out of the cups, threatening nip slip. It didn't result in (excessive) quad boob but it did reveal the fact that the horizontal seam is very visible under clothes when the cups are actually filled. This bothers me to no end. It's still gorgeous on its own but since it's unlikely to be worn, I am sadly listing it.

this bra covers about the same amount of boob as a half cup would but the top half is angeled in and therefore cuts in a lot causing some serious quadboob and the cups are 1-2 cup sizes too small, but I got the impression this bra ran large.. so opted for a smaller size.. not a good idea. sucks cuz the color and cut is gorgeous.

First impression upon picking up the bra: sturdy. It's a three-part plunge. The material is a smooth satin which feels nice. The band is nice and snug, like most other Masquerade bras. The straps feels really thick and are only half-adjustable, which is not a problem for me but may for others.

I could not fill out the lace part of the cup. Maybe I don't have tall enough roots?
