This bra is beautiful and I love it but it is too small for me. It is soft, though! And I think it is basically true to size.

Very stretchy wires, they completely change shape (and fit) when the band is stretched mildly, let along moderately so it fits

This bra gives me strange horizontal wrinkles at the bottom inside quarter of the cup. I think this may be caused by a) not enough immediate projection and/or b) the band being the tiniest bit too tight on me rn - I ordered it in my normal size, but currently weigh about 15 kg more which makes all of my bands overly tight atm. But it's so pretty! Ah, and the upper quadboob effect is... well, as suspected. I knew this might be happening and it did.

I've ordered it in 32" band simply because I used to wear 32"(70cm) bands, and it worked fine for C cups, and D, E(DD) cups with really wide band, but for this bra band was way too big. I've altered it, but it didn't help much. It improved its fit a little bit, but since elastics in this model are firm, they cut in my back. Wires are somewhat narrow. Lace is itchy, and it didn't change after washing.
Cups in this bra run one size bigger, I can fill them with my current size, but I still have wrinkles around the apex and near the straps. The upper part of the cup is bigger than the lower part, it causes quadding. This bra gives me a bit of pointy shape, which I don't like.

I usually wear 28F/FF and intentionally ordered this in a sister size and altered the band length.

General info: straps adjust all the way, cups are soft so no foam in them. The shape I get is a little drooping - too natural for my taste but the fabric pattern conceals it nicely https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> A quite good bikini for my shape which is wide+ tall root, and not that much immediate projection.

I usually wear 28F/FF and intentionally ordered this in a sister size. It seemed ok in the cups but when I altered the band length, I noticed that cups are too small after all. Bummer :-/ I have quadboob if I S&S properly.
BUT, I do love this fabric pattern a lot and I will wear it, although the fit is not perfect.

What else.. straps adjust all the way, cups have a foam in them, shape is rounded, uplifted and nice. A good bikini for my shape which is wide+ tall root, and not that much immediate projection.

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.

A pretty polka dot bra. When purchasing the bra, I thought the spots were going to be white, but they're actually a pale blue which contrasts well with the navy. The straps are adjustable and quite thick. This bra is a 32 band and I'm in the 28/30 range so the band is quite large on me, not providing much support. Washes well. Great for swimming in.

Band is firmer than a freya or lepel 30. Has a weird plastic smell, even after 2 washes- it is fading though. Gives a nice natural but not pointy shape. Cups are true to size. I can't wear it under most of my white tops as the seams are really visible.
Under clothes it gives me a very round shape.

Again, this is a bra that did not work out for me but maybe it is just the wrong size. The 32 DD cups are definitely larger than the 32 DD in my Panache Andorra or Figleaves Just Peachy. I think that a 32 D might just have worked better. This is because the cups wrinkle a little at the bottom-outer side and a little bit on the top as well. The wrinkling on the top happens a lot for me, but the wrinkling at the bottom definitely indicates a bad fit.

Some of it might have to do with the shape too, although I am less sure about ... that.

The lift is not as good as the Just Peachy and definitely not as good as the Panache Andorra (this might be subject to the size too, but I think that it is probably the bra design too).

It is comfortable enough. And the quality and appearance are not bad. I like the skin colour.

Conclusion: I will not buy this again for myself. Figuring out the size seems to be too complicated and even with the right size, I am not convinced that it would fit or lift well enough.

I was originally attracted to this bikini because it reminded me of my Freya Flourish Padded Longline Bra (1543) in black. It's very pretty in person and there are subtle details like the frills at the edges of the cup that I very much appreciate. It's a shame I could not find it in a size that was close enough to fitting that I might have considered it satisfactory for wearing to the beach. I tend to not prefer snug or too much coverage in a bikini. Unfortunately, the last size that was available was a 32DD. It was riding up in the back, but it didn't bother me for a bikini. The cups, however, were completely unflattering. Not only did they offer no support, they were flattening and pulling downwards on my bustline. It was so unattractive, I had to return it. I would have been ok with a 2-3 cups larger.

It fit me great when I got it! Then I wore it a lot and now it's really stretched out. True to size, easily hidden under clothing, gives good shape and lift.

I really like the look of this bikini top! Have been wearing it all summer. After reading reviews I ordered a cup size smaller and the same band size. Maybe I should have ordered my normal size, because it tends to give me quad boob effect after a while.
The only negative about this is that there isn´t much support, but I just tighten the back through the day. I´d actually have a friend who bought it after seeing and trying mine, but she´d ordered her normal cup size.
