I have FOB, wide root, rather shallow breasts.
There was a bit of gaping at the top of the cup, but not too bad. The straps were wide set but did not irritate like others I have tried in a similar style. The problem with this bra for me was the underwires. They weren't' wide enough and dug in to the breast tissue at my underarms. After a few hours of wear, I had to take it off.

My shape: projected teardrop with all the shallow-breast fit problems like Orange-in-a-Glass due to my super-tall (within a finger's width of my collarbone) and super-wide (almost to my shoulder blades) roots that almost meet on my sternum, with very firm tissue that fights back when smooshed around.

This review is for the capri blue colorway.

The lace fabric and the tags are surprisingly un-scratchy, even though it's brand new. The band is firm and supportive on the loosest set of hooks. The wires under my arms don't seem to go quite high enough for my boobs' preference, but I can only tell because the top of the wire channel [that's ... sewn shut] is distorted a bit, not from any discomfort.

The only real uncomfortable part of this bra is the center gore. It is too high for me, although I can't really say how much higher than any of my other bras, but it definitely chafes. Pushing it down to a comfortable level pushes the wires out of my infra-mammary fold, and otherwise they seem to stay put pretty well.

The cups don't have quite enough immediate projection for me, sadly, and unfortunately that means the fabric folds up at the base of my breast. There's a center cup seam, but it's not placed badly and doesn't irritate across the nipples. The top edge is smooth, and the neckline is nicely open. The straps are kind of thin and very widely set, but not too wide and not uncomfortable. After a second assessment: The neckline is suuuuuper open, and I think the cups might be too big, so maybe I need a 30F? Either way, the straps are still too far apart; they were comfiest extended as long as they go, but more supportive if I shorten them some - and sadly only on the outer cup panel, which makes the inner one gape. I had hoped the vertical seam design would work on me, because I've had great luck with it in other brands (but usually with a 2 seam/3 panel cut), but alas, it looks like it's not to be.

I think this is a great summer bra, light and breathable, and is a great color. I just don't think the fit is going to be right for me, which is a shame because it's cute.

Far too big in the band for me but perfect in the cup. Lovely unlined plunge shape, no idea why it's called bandeau in the title as this is not what I think of when I hear that term! Thinking about getting a rixie clip but worried it still might not make the band tight enough. V.pretty design with cute little stars and luminous trim. Unusual gore, quite close set.

This bra is an awesome t-back. It is a bit awkward to get on and into place but once you do it give a really nice and rounded shape with good cleavage.

CUP HEIGHT:
Strap to apex to wire: 7.25"
Strap to bottom of wing: Approx. 6.5-7"

Measuring from strap to bottom of wing presents a unique challenge on this bra, because the bra band always holds a round shape due to the T-back, distorting the measurement somewhat.

The underwires are really stiff. The cups seem a little on the generous side as they fit slightly better than a Freya bra I tried in the same size-- this doesn't give me quad-boob like the Freya did. The underwires don't come up too high under the arms for me, but the stiff edges of the cups themselves may cut into tender underarms or breast tissue for some women. The A-shaped back on this is fantastic for narrow shoulders! But it may feel like it's digging into the neck or shoulders. It's very friendly to full-on-bottom breasts.

Good plunge bra for plus sized boobs.

The bra appears to be beautiful with lace and sheer cups. The band is stretchy. The color is bright red with a bit tone in orange.

It would be a flattering bra if I had fuller breasts. My girls are uneven, with one bigger and one small. The bra only fits the bigger one. Sadly for soft and sheer bras like this, the fit is very important because any gap or wrinkle is not good.

The bra looks good online but is just not my shape. Would fit better for girls with fuller upper parts.

I bought this wired bralette in a much larger band as it was the only one in TK Maxx and I fell in love with it (especially for such a cheap price!). I hoped I could alter it down to fit like a 30F (my usual size) but decided that it'll be hard to take that much fabric out of the band and (more importantly) I actually think the cups are too narrow for my boobs, so that even if I adjust the band the outer wires will sit uncomfortably on my breast tissue. Bugger!

Going to list for sale else I'll return if no one fancies it? The style only goes up to a D and starts at a 32 band so I don't think I'll likely to be able to get a good fit. Shame but I figured I'm probably better off putting the money towards something I'll actually wear.

The information of this bra is not concerning me but a friend. With her measurment, her size a 32DD. She want absolutely a red bra and I find this one. Fortunately, I bought the same model in 32D and 34D. The 32D was too small in the cup and the band size. We was lucky, the 34D fit perfectly to her. She really likes this bra. Very pretty, confortable.

Bought before the re-measure. Occasionally slipped up, straps fell down, cup gaps away from boobs if I bring shoulders forwards, band too big.

This bra doesn't fit quiet right. It pokes a little under the arms. The nice thing is that the underwires and gore sit exactly where they're meant to be. Unfortunately I don't quite fill the cups.

This is supposed to be a push-up bra, but there's no padding whatsoever––literally nonexistent. The wires are very uncomfortable.
