It's a nice gray, with almost purple tones. Black lace along the gore and the front of the cups, with a not ostentatious blingy thing in the center. Subtle animal print (leopard?). The straps in the front of the bra are of the same material as the cups and so do not adjust fully. The straps in the back are the same grayish color. When let out completely, the straps measure just slightly over 17 inches. At their shortest, just over 13 inches. They're a little bit wide-set and I do have to pull them up over my shoulders fairly often.

This bra fits me pretty well. When I ... first got it I wasn't too sure about it, as the cups and my boobs didn't quite seem to work right together. On the loosest hook, my breasts did not fill out the cup properly - there was empty space in the cup, and the pointy part of the bra and my nipple did not line up.

When I started wearing it on the second hook, this seemed to fix the cup problem.

I like the look this gives me. It's a little bit pointy but not outrageously so. It also gives a nice projection. There's no poking from the underwires in any place and the front rests comfortably flat (or would, if I didn't have a little dip in my ribcage).

That said, I took a good look in the mirror before writing this review and realized that the band is probably too big. I wear it on the second hook, but tried it out on the third, and that ended up feeling more secure. The band still rises up in the back even on the tightest hook. In the long run I should probably end up altering this bra to be tighter, but I have a feeling that the cups will be too small if I do that. I'll keep it as is for now.

This bra didn't fit me - I didn't fill the top of the cups and there was wrinkling

This bra is very pretty but it's huge! I have two bras from Panache already which are 28D which fit well (Harmony), but this one fits looser than a Calvin Klein 30D that I have. The cups are way too wide and too deep for me, and the back is too loose as well. The cups are actually so wide the underwires come back to about the middle of my sides under my arms. It's not very comfortable because the seams on the inside where the straps are attached to the band aren't finished and it doesn't give me any better support than the 32B's I'm trying to filter out of my bra wardrobe. It's very pretty and I love the materials used however. The Haydee feels sturdy and has a good amount of padding for a formed cup bra but it's just way too big. I am hoping I can sew pads inside of it and wear it as a push-up.
