Rhea is a true Marie Antoinette bra and gives a cakes-on-a-plate cleavage that is out of this world! The cups are very open at the top and accommodate upper fullness perfectly. This size is a bit small for me now, however, and I get some bubbling over the edge of the cups. It does enhance the look in a way, but I also feel like my boobs are about to fall out any minute. I’d like the cups to be a little bit higher.
The look of the bra is very sophisticated with the black satin combined with gorgeous, thick lace at the top of the cups and on ... the band. The cups are thinly padded, but very stiff. The straps are not stretchy at all, and only partly adjustable. I have them adjusted almost to the loosest, but then again I have rather low-set breasts. Band is tight for 28, and fits perfectly for my 26" underbust (for some reason it still looks like it’s riding up). The gore is rather high, but it doesn’t dig into my sternum like some other Panache bras. It feels a little bit pinchy on my close-set boobs however. Also, I think that the cups are a bit too shallow on me, because the wires are pushing my ribcage under my breasts.
Overall, the fit is decent and I love the look, but it’s not the most comfortable bra for me. I rarely wear it and sort of forgot I have one.

I like the Rhea and Andorra plunge. Nothing else so far has worked for me. And I have a Rhea that is now 1 size too big for me. :)
