Too big for me in the cups. The lace wrinkles- but the seams are also kind of puffy and would be visible under a smooth shirt.

This bra is the best fitting molded cup I have found. I have narrow breasts, so a lot of wires are too wide for me, but these hit in pretty much the right place. It's also nice and low under the arm and at the gore, wouldn't be a great fit if you have tall roots, but great for me.
I did find this bra ran very large in the cup, and pretty stretchy in the band. I tend to be most comfortable in a 36F/FF, but the 34F is what fit me best. I wear a 36F in my other Masquerade bras, including @Ardour and @Ilsa.
This bra is gorgeous, and gives me nice "soft hills" cleavage, with the tiniest bit of "cakes on a plate" cleavage as well. If a @Cleo Lily is a good fitting bra for you, you should try and find a Capella.

This bra WAS great when I was much smaller. It didn't cut into me at all and helped me have a nice shape. Now it's far too small https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

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!

Very narrow, but projected cups. They seem quite deep, for an F. I think that, if the cups were wider, like the Panaches that fit me normally, the depth would work quite nicely for me, even at my GG/H.
The band is much too large for me, but that was to be expected, as i normally take a 30/32.
Fabric is very lightweight and breathable. Lace is not scratchy at all. The details are very pretty. This style has been long discontinued.

I bought this bra because I'd read it gave that amazing "shelf-like", "Marie Antoinette" cleavage and I wanted something more cleavagey than my soft cup bras.
It... doesn't quite work that way for me. I think I have "short" boobs/not much breast tissue on my upper chest. It doesn't really give me that sort of cleavage. It does, however, give an awesomely rounded shape, and it's a very pretty bra. The wide straps are incredibly comfortable without being aesthetically unpleasant (unlike those reducing bras and whatnot that try to convince us a D-cup is huge and needs huge straps). The band is also pretty sturdy and seems that it'll take a long while to stretch.

I absolutely loved this bra when I was a 34F. I'm very sad to see it go.

A really beautiful bra. Gorgeous colour. Nice uplift and cleavage.
However, I now realise it's too large in the band for me and so moves about and isn't comfortable for all-day wear.

Too big, too pointy. I don't like Masquerade plunges, because it has got east-west projection and they are so pointy. The design is nice. I reviewed also this one in 34E.

Very supportive and comfy. Nothing poked or prodded. No itchy material.
