This bra is a beautiful design with mustard yellow colour of satin - nice to find a yellow that doesn't look awkward on my pale white skin.
The inside of the cup is a soft material, so it's comfortable, not itchy. The underwire does not poke in the skin. The cups and straps are thick, the straps don't irritate or leave marks on shoulders. Finally some good bra straps!

I am ever-fluctuating in size. So when I got this bra, the cups were slightly tight on me in the mornings with a bit of tissue poking out at the armpits, then by the evenings it looked more like ... a true fit. But overall, the bra held me in and I didn't get quadboob. The bra has remained in great condition wth all lacy bits intact, but now I'd say it's 1 cup size too small for me. In the mornings I now get quadboob if I stand up straight with this bra on. I'm considerably more projected now than this time last year. It's really my body, not the bra's fault - fortunately I got some 30F bras from Playful Promises now and they fit wonderfully. Well, I'll be sad to get rid of this 30E bra but at least it gave the cup volume it promised and stayed sturdy over time!

The band is suitably tight for support - no sliding up or down. I normally need 28 band bras but PlayfulPromises doesn't go below a 30 band. Fortunately their band sizes run small enough so I can get away with their 30 bands even on the loosest hook at first. I have tried 30DD, 30E and 30Fs from them and found that they all felt snug as my 28 bands do. I wish they would make lower band sizes than their 30s though, to be more inclusive. Their website does show 28 as a band size to choose from, but it says nothing is available when you search it. Their website states they won't justify it for sales.

The big negative of this bra - the fancy pattern shows through every top. It's going to look a bit bumpy even through a turtleneck sweater. So I stuck to wearing it just at home!
