The Allure is a great bra and has made me consider buying the Clara as well (same cut) to get a bigger range of colors and designs. That said, it isn't the PERFECT bra for me, so I haven't taken the plunge quite yet.
Look: I feel SO sexy in this bra. The design is really beautiful--I'm a sucker for lace and this is some of the prettiest, and I feel and look shapely and supported. Some reviews mentioned triangle boobs, but to be honest I don't know exactly what they're talking about other than that the side sling does make the breasts a bit flat on the outside, ... which I would never have noticed if I hadn't been trying to understand the other reviews. Under clothes I think any weirdness in shape is pretty much invisible. The only thing to mention is that there is a slight ridge on the seam, which can show through under clothes.
Material: The lace is a bit scratchy on my highly sensitive skin. I wish the gore and straps were more padded. But as other reviews mention, the material does seem built to last, so it isn't the biggest issue.
Straps: I am a chronic strap-adjuster, with very sloped shoulders, but these straps really stay put!
Center Gore: I have very close-set breasts and so this gore digs into my breast tissue a bit at the top. This is a perennial problem I have with bras, so it's not a complaint about the Allure particularly, just a note. It's not a huge deal but it does get uncomfortable after a few hours of wear, especially if my posture is bad.
