This is hands down the brightest bra I've ever seen. It is truly fluorescent. I wouldn't be surprised if it glows in the dark, though I haven't actually tested that out yet. In fact, it's so bright that I had a hard time getting clear pictures of it. Whenever I need a mood lift, this is the bra I put on. I've found it's pretty hard to not be cheerful when you're wearing fluorescent hot pink and orange! It's the perfect foil against overcast, rainy days.

As with the other Perfects Australia bras I own, the band runs small. You can see ... in the back picture that it's too tight. I'm fine wearing this one with an extender. My breasts sit high on my chest, so sister sizing up runs the risk of having the cups too high on the outside for armpit comfort. Those that don't have this problem should probably size up in the band.

The molded cup on this bra is very thin and pliable. The whole bra is extremely comfortable, I kind of forget that I have it on. The straps are fully adjustable and feel rather plush, even though they're just elastic. The side boning is soft and fairly flexible. The lace on the cups is very flat and smooth, it doesn't show through my shirts. Obviously, this is not the bra to wear if you're wearing white or a very see-through color shirt, as the color will show.

I already have this bra in the cobalt blue/peach colorway, but I'm so glad that I decided to get this one also. This one just makes me smile even just seeing it laying in my lingerie drawer. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Pink/Tangerine colorway

Updated on Oct 16, 2015 Flag this

Once again, the uploader on Bratabase dulled my pictures terribly. The cobalt blue/peach pink color of this bra is so bright it's nearly neon in real life. LOVE IT! The fit is just about perfect and this is a very comfortable bra for me. Wide wires, somewhat shallow cups and the cup height isn't too tall for armpit comfort.

As I expected, the band is not true to size and runs a little small (max stretch between 30.5 to 31 inches), so I will be wearing this bra with an extender for comfort until it stretches out a little more. You can ... see the fit of the band in my back picture. This is consistent with the 32DDD - Perfects » Sally Balconette (14UBR95) that I also reviewed, so it seems that this brand runs small in the band. The cups appear to be true to size.

The straps are a satiny elastic on one side with a slightly fuzzy finish on the back for comfort. They are stretchy but firm and are fully adjustable. The side wing has flexible boning in it. The cup is a thin molded cup that is not rigid, and deforms easily. The lace on the outside of the cup is flat and would be invisible under tops that are not super thin or tight.

A bright, cheerful, beautiful bra that is also very comfortable to wear. Winner!

Peach Pie/Cobalt Blue colorway

Updated on Sep 25, 2015 Flag this

Never tried this brand before, so this was something of a gamble. Fortunately, it worked pretty well for my somewhat shallow-on-top shape and fits me nicely. Love, love, love the black and white polka dot colorway. So fun!

This bra has a thin, soft molded cup with fabric vertical seams on the outside of the cup. I have fairly wide roots and the wires fit them well. No problems with the strap attachment point of the cup coming up too high under my arms, which I frequently have problems with since I'm high chested. The wing comes up high enough that ... I feel very secure in this bra. The gore is a little smaller than I'm used to at only 7/8" wide, but it's not a problem for my average spaced breasts.

The wings have soft flexible boning that is very comfortable. The straps are comfortable 5/8" elastic that is fully adjustable.

The one thing on this bra that was a surprise was the band. It's supposed to be a 32" band but really only stretches to about 31." It is tight on me but not uncomfortable (my snug band measurement is 32" and my tight band measurement is 30.5"). I will be wearing it with an extender for comfort until it stretches out a little bit. Those of you between band sizes would fit this well, the rest might want to size up in the band. The cup appears to run true to size.

Really liking this bra. It's comfortable but very playful looking. It makes me smile when I put it on. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

White/Black Dot colorway

Updated on Sep 21, 2015 Flag this

I ordered this strapless/convertible bra from Kohl's. Some reviews about this brand complained the bands usually run very small and the cups run large. Well? At least for this one, the band was ridiculously short...like almost 4" short! Even an extender wouldn't have been enough. The cups look like they run shallow, but I wasn't able to try it on well enough to know for sure.
The underwire is a full inch shorter than the channel. That might not be a bad thing though, because as a strapless, the wings are a crazy 4.5" tall. And if the wire went all the way up, it would stab you in the armpits. The band has silicone on the edges to help with grip. The back straps are multi-positional: standard, wide (close to the arms), or strapless. I'm not sure if a single strap is long enough to convert to a halter.
Bottom line: a well-made strapless/convertible, but order at least one band size larger, and maybe the cup too, if you're projected.

Make sure to sister-size! The cups are fairly true to size, but the band is Definitely small! Ideally I wear a 32, but even the 34 was borderline.

The other thing that was problematic for me was the racerback: although the back lace panel is really pretty, (and worthy of showing off), it's very tall, which causes the straps to attach so high up that they cut across the back of your neck. Now, if you are quite tall or have a long torso (unlike me), that might not be a problem for you at all.

Some folks complained it's hard to get on. But I didn't think it was any worse than pulling a stretchy T-shirt over your head. So if you do have problems with your shoulders, or have trouble hooking a bra from the back, then yes, you will want to avoid this bra.
