Beautiful bra, no doubt https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Now, some fit issues: I think I got it too big, I think a 34H or 36GG would have been a better fit, and I may get that if I am to order it again. (normally I think I am a 34HH) I think it is important to note how un-stretchy this bra is: By far the most firm band and straps I've seen - I find this to be a disadvantage, as normally if you twist and turn, the elasticity will make sure the bra doesn't move too much, but here, if you lift your shoulder for instance, the ...whole bra is moved. The centergore did no lie flat, and as mentioned, I think it is actually too big for me, so that can't be it: The center is very high up, and my breasts are very close together, so I think that might be what does it. I found the straps to not be able to adjust very short, I have them at the shortest (partly because the cup is too big). The tight straps might be what makes the band ride up, as I find it a bit difficult to determine if the band is the right size or not: Fits with the rule of 2 fingers but not hand, but does ride up. I wear a 34 more often than a 36, but had heard the band was a bit tight, though I found it to fit much like many other 36's, though difficult to tell due to the non-stretchy material. But, even in too big cup, it gives an amazing uplifted shape, and seperated, yet pointed forward boobs, which is what I look for. Read more 179 more words
Hey I know this is waaaaay old so you mightn't be able to remember at all, but am I correct in interpreting that this 36H was actually too big in the cups for your when you were a 34HH? I'm about an 34J and I'm wondering if I could squeeze myself into a 36H in this or if I'd need a 38H with the band altered down shorter.
I just love the pale blue one so, so much. I actually own one in a 32GG and you can imagine how laughably bad it would be if I tried to wear it now! It didn't even fit me when I got it because I was more like a 32H then. But I ADORE the look of it so, so much.
Unfortunately, the size is wrong for me, but it is still a great bra. It looks very sexy and the color is luscious. "Despite" the good looks, the bra is still comfortable.
The straps are not fully adjustable, because the front part is decorated with lace.
Perfection. For the first time I've got "cake-on-a-plate" cleavage (love that term!) After wearing it all day I can say that the band is comfortably snug, the underwires don't dig in at all, anywhere. It gives a really nice rounded look, and the pink color is absolutely gorgeous. My only complaint - and I can't even call it that, really, is that the lace shows through tshirts. But I figured that that would be the case when I got it. Now I want to find one just like it, but either seamless or a smooth satin, so I can look good in tshirts, too.
While this bra is very pretty, it did not fit me at all. The cup is way too small with the top of the cup crossing right over my nipples, and the band way too big and stretchy to provide any support. I think in this bra I would have had to go down to a 28 band, and up at least two or three cup sizes to contain my breast. The fabric is lovely, and the lace detail eye catching. The seams that run up the front of the cup pull at the stitching.
The 34 is much bigger than the 32 and might be a bit too big for me. The cups are a little awkward as well. The 34FF had a little too much space in the cup, but the 32FF was far too small.
This bra is stunning. It has a very muted animal print with lace on the center of the cups and a decal on the very top of the center gore. I've tried it on under sweaters and I think it gives just the right amount of cleavage to remain appropriate, but is still definitely a special occasion piece.
My main gripe with it is that it comes up a little big in the band for me. I had read that Masquerade styles actually typically run tight, so I am quite surprised by this. It is wearable, but I would do better with a 28GG or ...28H, which this style unfortunately does not come in.
It is comfortable, and I have not worn it except to try it on under various tops, but I feel as though I could wear it on a night out and be very happy with it. You do kind of feel like you're going to fall out of the top, but I bent over, shook all around, jumped and when I looked back in the mirror, my boobs were in the same place they had started.

Actually, it does! I had to return both 28's I reviewed because they were far too tight for me. They are available on Breakout Bras right now, you should consider ordering!
I normally wear Half-cups, because they fit me much better than Plunge-styles. This bra is neither a real Plunge nor a real Half-cup, but it fits me really great. It gives a really good and rounded shape and the wires are perfect for me. The only thing I don't really like are the straps. They are not fully adjustable and the material is not very stretchy which means that although the straps fit me, they tend to slip off my shoulders sometimes. Besides that it is a very great bra!
This is the first Masquerade bra that I've tried, and I'm quite pleased with it. When it fit properly (I bought it when I was 10 pounds heavier) it was a stunner, and I enjoyed the ROUNDED, uplifted shape that it gave. It's more of a demi bra, as I found that my boobs weren't completely covered. This made it a great choice for low-cut and sweetheart necklines--or if I just felt like showing off some fantastic cleavage, which this bra gives. It's a very attractive, sexy bra, and it features a lovely satin finish, as well as a gorgeous lace overlay across the padded cups.
My only qualm with the bra is that the THIN straps can slip from time to time, even after being adjusted. I've never had this problem before with other bras, so I just thought it might be worth mentioning. Overall, Anise is a lovely addition to the drawer.
I don't own this bra (yet), so I can't measure it, but I tried it on and saw a couple of other girls wearing it too.
I'm atm between 30D and 30DD and this bra fit best in 30DD.
It's a very nice bra. When worn it reminds me a bit of the Freya Deco - it does provide a reeeeally nice cleavage too!
The wires were wide enough for me, there was no poking and it felt very comfortable.
The fabric is gorgeous, the lace stitching incredibly nice and the colour really so much more beautiful in reality than in the pictures! It's more brownish than gold.
Lacier than I prefer, but the aqua color is really pretty. I wanted to like this bra, but it's way too big in the cups. Surprising since I have a Masquerade basque in 28F that fits well. I must be a 28E in regular Masquerade bras. The band was nice and snug, which I liked. I intend to try more of these at some point.
Not rated well because it does not fit. If I had this one in the correct size, it would be excellent across the board.
I love, love, love this bra. So much so, I bought two in different colors! Harlequin makes such adorable bras, I've bought four already and intend to get more if I can. It's very comfortable and makes a very lovely shape underneath any of my shirts.
The Pandora model has lace along the balconette cups, which is very lovely!
Please note, size is UK; US sizing is not available on the tag.
If the only issue is the band felt too tight from the beginning were you able to use a bra extender for the first few months to wear it in?
Also, would you be able to provide at least one photo so we can see the similarity to more recent continuity bras from Panache like Cleo's Juna? Have you tried it yet? I hope you are enjoying the same shape and fit. :)
Another cute bra that really doesn't fit me at all! I usually wear a 32 band, but the 34 is actually OK, probably because the band isn't really that stretchy. But the cups definitely run a bit small.
This bra started off very uncomfortable. The center gore was very stiff and pressed hard on the sternum. Now that it has been broken in, it is a very comfortable bra. The band is larger than normal so I have to wear it on the tightest hook for support. It was worth the time it took to break it in to become a comfortable bra.
One of my favorites. It has thin padding for structure but doesn't feel bulky, and has very flat seams. It provides a suprisingly round silhouette for being a 3-part seamed cup. Contains nearly all breast tissue under arms. While not a balconette, it doesn't quite engulf the whole breast, but I don't think it's meant to—it shows some skin at the top, and since it supports the breasts so well it makes them look full on top even if they're not. Slightly stretchy satin straps are definitely bouncy for physical activity, but overall the bra provides excellent support for a pretty bra and is very well made.
On the left side (bigger breast) it bulges over the cup a bit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> The other side ist perfect
