Fit-wise, this bra is OK: the band is a little on the tight side, but probably nothing a couple of washes wouldn't fix. The wires are pretty wide but comfortable, and the shape is not bad.
I'm not 100% sure about the cup, as there's no real spillage but I feel I need a little more. Perhaps I just need more elasticity than this embroidered lace has.
What I really don't like is how obvious this bra is under clothes because of such thick and patterned material. The edge even flares out a little.
So, this bra seems very close to fitting - on paper. But I realize I don't like it enough to bother trying for the perfect fit. I'm attracted to the many unusual colour combinations but then I find them too loud. So... if in the end neutrals are more my thing, why go for all that unnecessary, uncomfortable lace? If I want plain... so be it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />

This is my favorite bra that I own! It fits me almost perfectly. However, if DEFINITELY runs big. I wear a 32J usually, and this bra is too big in the band. The cups fit pretty well with only a teeny bit of quadding on my larger side. This is not noticeable through clothes however. The wires are extremely narrow (they sit almost on the front of my rib cage) which is a huge plus for me.

The cups on this bra seem to run at least a cup to two cup sizes big. The wires and band are very firm and snug, which is pretty painful and I've only had it on for a few minutes. The bra seems to be going for a half-cup effect, but it's still a three-piece cup with horizontal seaming, which seems like it won't accommodate upper fullness or tall roots, even in the correct size.

I love this bra, it's inexpensive, super lightweight and probably very comfy if can get the cup size right!
It's also really pretty, aside from all those little frills (but they look like they can be got rid of rather easily https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />)
I just have to decide whether to go for FF or G and hope the shape doesn't change too much.

This is the "jade" colourway.
The 30 band was too big so I altered it down. My usual size is 28F. The bra fits very well after the alteration. I have wide + tall roots and shallow boobs. Judgeing by the measurements, the wires would be much too narrow for me, but they bend enough and the bra fits ok.

The cups fit perfectly. Straps are wide and also quite wide set- almost too much for my narrow shoulders.
I wasn't a fan of the amour's looks but think it's lovely in the pink and red colour.
Gives a nice rounded shape and good cleavage. It's also quite low cut for a supposed full cup (in this size anyway)- more like a balconette.

Fits exactly the same as the black one. Wasn't struck on the colour in online pictures, but it was very cheap. Glad to say that the colour is lovely in real life!

Picked this up on a sale, as often 40D cups fit my 36G boobs. No dice this time around! There is definite bulging out of the cups, especially on my larger side. I also wish that the straps on the front were made of sturdier elastic, like the back straps are made from. But really, does anyone buy a half cup bra to for support, or to wear UNDER something? I would have loved to have been able to wear this at adult events without worrying about falling out!!
The boning on the side also buckles, which is pretty uncomfortable, and the neat tassels at the front were affixed with thread that was knotted on the underwire casing, which results in a big huge knot poking into my sternum. Ok, "big huge" is a bit of an overstatement, but yeah.

This was my first fit try. I bought a 30D and 30C from Pour Moi brand. This bra did not fit at all. The band was too small (I could not even hook the bra). This surprised me, as it is also a 30 band, but it seems more like a 28 band or even less. The cups are sooo narrow, I could not even fit my breasts without putting on the band. They are also very shallow. It was only to try the bra sizes for the first time, so it's OK if it does not fit me. The quality is great, the fabric is very good quality and soft, and the lace details are very beautiful.

In love with this bra! It fits (me) perfectly. I've read some negative reviews about this bra, but I'm glad I bought it. No weird shape or anything and it feels comfortable.

Cute, but the straps are a little wide set, and it's just a touch too large in the cup.

Very pretty bra, and the band is quite firm. I believe the volume of the cups are true to size or slightly small, but they are extremely wide and shallow, which makes them fit much smaller. On me, the straps are much too wide-set and the cups are very stiff. It makes it not really alterable or wearable.

The fabric has good quality and the design is beautiful. For the first time, I felt like my wide root shallow breasts were totally included in the cups. It was just a couple of weeks ago that I started to wonder why my 32A bras were so tight and were hurting. At first I thought it was because I started weighlifting and my breast muscles were growing but when I did an Internet investigation I was totally surprised that 32A was not even close to my real bra size!!! It never was!!! You know the story: too big band, soooo small cup, as many other girls have discovered. ... So, this bra fitted my breasts in the cups, but..... The straps are always falling from my shoulders and the brand is obviously still big for me (even when bra size calculators told me I was a 30D). I have to adjust them so tighly that the strap buckles usually end in my front body!!! (not good...). And I can separate the band from my body more than two fingers... Finally, I also don't like how my breasts look, I mean they are not lifted in the slightest with this bra. I've seen other girls wearing it and they look much better in it than me. I feel like my breasts fill the cups but that's it, no beautiful effect and non-existent clevage with it. So... definitely better for my breasts thant my old 32A bras but still no good fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I guess being my first try to find the perfect bra, it's a good start...

I received this as part of a large Figleaves purchase.
I selected this bra in the colour Almond because 1) I love beige bras with shiny/satiny/pearly/metallic details 2) I love the comfort, look and support of longline bras. Upon trying it on, the bra looked beautiful from the front, not so good from the side and... was impossible to wear under clothes!
This bra is known to give a pointy shape. Since my breasts are naturally pointy I feel like the shape isn't too bad for me from the side, even though I typically prefer rounder styles. However, this pointy shape is IMPOSSIBLE to wear under any clothing! Even thicker ... sweaters could not hide the middle horizontal seam for me!
Apart from that, there surprisingly wasn't any gaping on the smaller breast cup, nor any quad-boob on the larger breast cup, which is quite rare for me. The gore was too wide and would not lay flat, but rather would rest on my breast tissue on one side. The fabric tended to bunch up a bit at the front right under the underwires, which didn't cause any discomfort but is more of an aesthetic problem.

The cups gape a little towards the gore- normal for me with a moulded balconette bra.
Gives amazing cleavage! I giggled the first time i put it on, because wow, the cleavage!
I think the band might be a little loose.
Edit- at certain times of the month this really gapes, but at others looks perfect

This bra is VERY FoT shaped! It seems like high quality but I could not properly see what it's like because it really didn't fit me!

I just love this colour - probably the reason I got this bra in the first place, not a perfect fit for me. Band is a tight 30, the cups do not do enough projection, while wires wide enough. Colour and material very attractive.
Update: I'm growing out of this bra before even having the chance to wear it. Tried bending the wires to get deeper cups, didn't really work. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Going to listings I'm afraid...

I was very hopeful about this bra, since all the stock pics make the model look like she was a 32H. Well, it is possible, but now if you have a tall ribcage.
Pros: the gel padding feels very natural, the colours are beautiful.
Cons: the wires dig into my lower ribs and make it very uncomfortable to wear this bra.

Pros: high under the arms, thick straps, pretty design, nice shape under clothes, 3 hooks, high wings
Cons: rubs a bit under the arms, bottom of the cups are a tiny bit deep- slight gap (doesn't show), wide gore
Good for full all around ladies
