I really like this bra, in particular, I've struggled finding straps that didn't dig into my armpits, and this has straps that are closer to the center and very satiny. All the fabric is soft, even the lace, which is good because my skin is sensitive.
I find that the cups are narrow, projected, and a little more full-on-bottom. The band runs pretty tight, and the cups a little loose, I usually run in between a 34 and a 36, and this is snug in a 36. Usually with a 36 band, a F is a little small and an FF is little large, but the F fits maybe a tiny bit loose.
I also have this bra in a 34FF, which I got first, wore once and realized it was too snug for daily use, but otherwise I liked it enough I wear it with an extender and bought the 36F.

I'm not usually a fan of molded bras, but as I was in a physical shop it was easy to try bras I wouldn't normally consider, such as this one, which has several features which make it an unlikely choice for me, in addition to being molded: only two hooks, relatively narrow straps, plunge, and a completely different size than I normally need. The fit was nonetheless quite good when I first tried it on; how it stands up to use remains to be seen. It's very hard for me to find bras without lace and bows which are still not beige and boring, so I ...appreciate the two tones of blue (the color is called "sapphire" on the label) and the complete lack of ribbons and other extras. It is one of the more androgynous bras I have seen in a while.
It should be noted that this is not a seamless bra; there is a seam running from the bottom of the cup partway up, and the shinier blue fabric that covers most of the cup is sewn on the molding about two inches from the top of the cup.
The band was initially tight; I typically wear a 36 in Panache and a 34 in other brands, but I needed this 36 with a little extension.
The cups run big, as I usually wear a 36G in Panache (and 34GG in other brands), and this is a 36F.
Update: I've only had this bra for a month and a half. Wearing it once a week and treating it properly (handwashing, flat drying) I was disappointed to see that it has started to rip. I don't expect that, especially not from a bra that was more expensive than most of my bras. The tear is at the side seam on the band, where the back part of the band has torn off for the top layer of fabric. I am therefore rating the quality of this bra as poor. Read more 230 more words
