As this is my first bra of the correct size, I'm not sure what I'll get used to and what is a sign of a bad fit. The only discomfort I know of is the gore. None of my other bras have ever had a gore that touched my skin, so I'm wondering if it's merely a matter of getting used to that new fit. However, I do find that the top of the gore feels like it's digging, and when I look down on it, it looks like some breast tissue is being pushed into it.
Also, I'm not sure that I'm filling out the bottom/sides of the cups completely; it feels comfortable, but there's some wrinkling in the fabric and there's fabric between the wire and the start of the breast.

Fit is very strange - getting a big "orange in a glass" effect. Gore digs in uncomfortably, but not as brutally as a lot of other balconettes.

I very much like this bra. My breasts have grown a bit or I've had some tissue migration since I bought it, but it fit incredibly well before my boobs sized up. There is a nice felt fabric around the bottom of the band what makes it super soft. It's incredibly firm. I can run in it. The wires fit my breasts incredibly well. They are tight enough on my breasts that the bra will just hang if I leave it without doing the back. One downside is that the band is falling apart after less than a month of regular wear, probably due to it being too tight. I intend to wear it until it falls apart completely or I can find a better fitting bra. I have ordered the same bra in a different size, and I intend to order more if it works out. I love it. It doesn't look super great under tight shirts though, and makes my boobs kind of pointy, but it's pretty hot.

Once again, I am shocked at how a well-fitted unlined bra can lift and support. I tried this bra in 30G and 32FF. In the 30FF the cups are a bit baggy up top onme. The gore tacks perfectly. The tea rose color is very feminine and pretty. This is definitely on my "favorite bra" list.

Doesn't fit, but seems very solidly constructed and well-made.

I really like this bra. It's a very simple yet attractive design with simply white mesh and leaf accents on the cups. I don't care for the bow on the gore (why is this such a popular design?) but that's just personal preference. This particular style fits very well. The band is snug and the gore sits a little tight but comfortably, which I'm sure will grow more comfortable over time. The cups create a nice, rounded shape but they don't appear to lift as much as I would like. Perhaps this is due to the mesh material. This bra yields only the slightest wrinkling at the top ... of the cup and arm pit fat on the sides. However, this appeared to greatly reduce with some strap adjustment and redistribution of the breast tissue. While leaning, the cups completely fill with no spillage and perfectly capture all tissue. This is enough for me to strongly consider keeping this bra while I continue to search for other brands that may fit even better with no wrinkling and side boob. At least it will be a better temporary fit compared to these god-awful VS bras...

I tried the 32E, the 30F, and the 30FF of this style and this was the one that got the closest to fitting me best. The wire was wide enough to encase most of my breast tissue, but I still had issues with tissue/underarm fat on the right side; the wires were not tall enough. This is probably due to my height/long torso, so shorter gals might not have this issue.

As for the cups themselves, I think the "balconette" name is not quite accurate as the cup isn't really cut as low or as horizontally as a typical balconette (peruse the photos of others with this bra and you'll understand). That was a disappointment because the fuller cut cup was a lot deeper than I expected from the style. While I fit the bottom half of this cup okay, I had lots of wrinkling on the top on both sides due to my shallow/conical shape. It also gave me a weird shape with very little lift.

This is the only bra I own, which really stretched out.
I love the colour (green), but that's all positive about it I can tell you. This type of a balconette (unpadded) is not a good style for my breasts (because it always digs in), but I wore it several times.
It's very itchy I think, didn't feel comfortable in it.
