Unfortunately I'm not able to write much of a review as this bra arrived to me with a broken strap. I was able to try on the other cup, and from what I can tell it's somewhat pointy. It's sort of like Panache Jasmine, a side support cup with a lace top section. Because of the side support panel, it's way too wide for me. The top lace section lies nice and flat, and should accomodate either FOB or FOT, but i think it'd be rounder on someone more FOT. The band is pretty TTS, leaning toward the larger side.
I actually have worn this bra a decent amount. It's a little bulkier than I'd like but mostly because it's a little big and I prefer non molded bras. This creates good cleavage but not popping out of a person's shirt. And parfait bras have less gapping, maybe the cups aren't as tall, as I typically get with molded cups. The gore does start stabbing me at a certain point.
This bra is one of my favorites, even though it has some fit issues. The band is very stretchy. I've had it less than a month and I'm already wearing it on the second hook. Conversely, the wires are very wide for my narrow roots, extending well into my sides under my arms. If I bought it again, I would go down a band size but maintain the cup size.
The boning in the wings does creak at times, but not alarmingly so. All of the wires are well padded and don't poke or pinch.
The cups are very open on top. I am fairly even, but have such soft tissue that FOB cuts fit best. This bra does not disappoint, giving a slight "cakes on a plate" look without quad boob.
I can and do wear it under heavier tshirts, but thinner or fitted tshirts would show off every seam.
This bra lifts very well. Of all the bra's that I've tried, this one lifts me the highest. The top rim is tighter then the then the rest of the cup and cuts in on me a little bit on my larger breast. I have even fullness so this could be a problem if you're full on top.The black ribbon details on the cups show's though a t shirt, I don't mind. This bra gives a slightly pointy look, not extreme but most people seem to prefer a more rounded look.
Bra is pretty, lightly lined. Cups are full coverage. Once I got the bra on, I noticed gaping at the top of the cups and the center gore was poking me in the sternum. I could probably make it work by shortening the straps, as the gaping isn't terrible, however, the poking of the gore is very uncomfortable. I was also able to hook onto the second (middle) hook, however, expected as it was previously used.
Edit: A few weeks later, randomly tried this bra on. It fits - for now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />. The cups are good for my projected/conical shape.

Really had high hopes for this. The band is super snug for a bra that I bought preowned. Feels like a 30 rather than 32. The cups give me quad boob, and that's too bad cause it's a nice style bra and gives me a nice full look that would compliment my pendulous and shallow FOB shape. I would need to try in a band larger and cup larger. Or maybe just going up in band size would be enough? No clue.
I wanted to love this bra, but it was a bit of a hot mess for me. For starters, I am FOT and splayed, with narrow roots. The cup shape is too wide for me, which I think is the main problem. When I first put it on after a fresh swoop and scoop, I have major quadboob on the larger breast and just a little on the smaller one. Then as things settle with movement, boobs migrate east-west and there is gapping at the top of the cups. This also causes the cups to move down out of my inframmary fold, only on the outside of the ...cups. (I am assuming this is because this is where my boobs seem to settle.) I was desperate to make it work, so I bent the wires to give me more narrow and projected cups. While this did help, still not a great fit for me but I do wear it sometimes.
For a nude bra it is pretty and seems well constructed. My only gripe about it related to the materials used as that the straps are very stretchy, and I am running out of room to adjust them short enough.
If you are the right shape for it (I have since read it is better for FOB breasts) I am sure it is great! Read more 116 more words
Gorgeous bra with a more muted peach color than I was expecting. It's not as comfortable as I was expecting, but I think Ewa Michalak has spoiled me.
This bra is not particularly asymmetry-friendly. Very stiff cups, but nice and narrow. The bottom doesn't have quite enough projection for me. I am getting this bra again in a band size down (because it's pretty!), but I don't think it will be a part of my day to day rotation. Nice bra for the upcoming winter; wouldn't show through sweaters! Not a thinner shirt bra by any means.
With tissue as soft as mine, the cup ran pretty true to ...size if maybe a little small. The band is tight but still definitely a 32 to me (it gently stretches past 30, but I had it on the tightest hook before it felt reasonable and I'm about a 29" underbust).
PLEASE NOTE! The 32F has only 2 hooks, not three like the FF. I forgot to check and prefer the 3 hook closure (I previously owned a red Charlotte that has this and loved it). Read more 75 more words
Overall a nice bra, but definitely not for me. I end up squished flat in the front, the cups bulging out, and my breasts retreating into the center and out of the cup. I'm guessing the issue for me is a combination of too small size and wrong shape. Otherwise, it's a simple but pretty bra with good construction. Maybe someone who is shallow would fit in this bra better than I.
Though it's a 32 band, it's quite tight. This bra has a tighter-feeling band than some of my 30 bands. It's still quite comfortable with that in mind. It ended up being a cup size too small.
I'm not in love with the cups - they are a little pointy for my taste. I prefer a more rounded shape. I'm also not feeling the lace on the straps. It just gets in my way and I think it looks strange.
The wings are higher than I'm used to. They don't dig in, but they're close to it.
I love this bra and I am determined to find it in my proper size. I started with this one, my regular UK size of 32F.
This bra runs pretty small. The band is very firm and while I can get it hooked, it is definitely too tight for me. The cups are almost right, but just a bit too small; they cut into my breast tissue a little on the outside and while there is not visible quad boob, it does feel really snug in the top of the cup. The projection seems good for me, though.
I love the Retro look and the "Marie Antoinette" style cleavage that this gives so I will be hunting it down in a 34F.
While this bra is in my "normal" size, it is too big in the cups. Possibly more for a FOT breast. I have extra space in the bottom of the cups and the lace at the top of the cups gapes a bit.
Other than needing a size down in the cup, it's a fairly comfortable bra. It looks really nice and the straps are comfy despite being rather thin.
This is a really beautiful bra. It comes up pretty high on the sides, which can be a bit uncomfortable since I have narrow shoulders causing the straps to dig in. The cups are very stiff, so expect some gapping when you move around or lift your arms up.
I get a a great fit in this. The band is a perfect 2-finger tightness and the cups are about perfect. I do sometimes get slight overflow near the gore and a bit of empty space near the straps, but that seems to be because of my soft breasts. I have that problem in all plunge styles.
I would suggest sizing up in the cup; I usually wear a 32E and this is an F. Also the straps are fairly wideset. Not a big problem for me, though I do get a bit of rubbing after a few hours where the strap meets the cup.
I ordered my usual size, and the bra gave me horrible spillage on top. Not sure if I need to go up one or even two cup sizes, but the bra is hot in a subtle way and feels well made, so I'm definitely getting one in a size that I think will suit my boobs better.
