Beautiful padded seamless bra in a very rich burgundy red. It works pretty well as an T-shirt option although the lace overlay on cups and straps may show trough thinner fabrics. Due to this fluffy trim the straps are only halfway adjustable.
The center gore is cut much lower than on the Prima Donna Madison Padded Bra (bigger Sizes) (0262121) and sister cuts creating more of a plunging shape. Being rather petite it is still a lot of bra on me but it adjusts very smoothly with my body and therefore is truly comfortable. The upper cup is fairly closed and doesn't allow for ample upper fullness, which isn't a problem for me but maybe for someone more FoT.
I'm very pleased with the quality as always with this brand and I especially love the nicely cushioned wires, something I've been missing on many popular UK brands. If someone knows less pricy options with this feature I'm happy to learn about them.
I have three Prima Donna Madison Plunges. You're right about the comfort and quality. I must've tried on about 150 bras by now. In the case of this brand, you really are getting what you're paying for. The best I would hope for is a lower level of comfort and quality that is still acceptable in exchange for lower prices. And, of course, looking for bargains on Bratabase, /r/braswap, eBay, etc.
Impressing number! I'll take your word, bargain hunting it will be then :)

I’ve had this bra for years and at one point it went to live with my sister, only to come back my way. I don’t have the exact model number or name since they’ve been cut out long ago. What I love, the straps are very comfortable and lay flat in the back where they connect to the backband. There are little daisies along the straps. The cups are moulded and give a very nice natural rounded shape under clothing. The fabric is smooth with tiny little printed dots on it. What I don’t like. The cups are too shallow for my very projected breast. I do get ...some quad boob along the top because of my very round shape. The sidewings are short, so I get some boobage escaping. The band also doesn’t sit against my ribs and floats at the gore. If the cups were less shallow I don’t think I’d have an issue. This bra came with a halter strap attachment. I’m clearly too short, or high-boobed, for this to actually fit the way it was intended. Overall this is a fantastic bra if you have a more natural breasts shape. The quality is really good. Even after all the traveling this bra has done it’s still in fabulous shape and not all shot-out. Read more 110 more words

All the joys of a comexim but now with some immediate depth. Same super soft ultra fine knit lining on pieced foam. Sort of a 'Cleo Kayla Lite' fit with more space than gorsenia (excepting for Caren/Simena/Madera which fits extremely full everwhere at the cost of being cut true to size instead of typical gorsenia +1 cup sizing). ...Nostaligia's strip of eyelash elastic is stiffer than the cup mesh it lines by a lot and quads on me depending on how weird my chest feels like being on any given day. The band is a little loose on the tightest hook personally, but believe this bra runs half to full size small in the band unlike anything else I've encountered in any Prima Donna to date. Those 2 piddling hooks we're given, are sturdy in a fine jeweler's sort of way, smooth, tough and discreet- while they look tiny and dubious the hook & eye set are anything but; they're a nice change of pace from cheap rougher hook settings in other petite-fitted brands. The band has a proper wing to prevent the wires from over springing, or poking in wildly with every last movement (very specific thing I despise about recent season prima donna's). I've bought Nostalgia somewhere between 1-2 sizes small so it's fitting a little short & gives sideboob creepage around the wire, but can still wear without issues as shape is deep all the way across, the upper runs short and open on my idiot tall roots.
Due to having excessive horizontal depth that's taller and heavier on the outer sides but still requires a small narrow gore, this one counts as a win- Nostalgia is a Demi so not well suited to very projected shapes, could be problematic for those who prefer a very narrow cup or side control to herd things forward.

Gives me much better shape under my clothes than other bras I currently have. I think it helps a lot that the straps can adjust as short as you need them, unlike others that have a limited range for adjustment. Very comfortable.
I'm very happy with the A La Folie Balconette Full Cup so searching for a padded solution I decided to try this version. I opted for 65G because of the Prima Donna Twist Love Me Tender I tried before. The cups feel very comfy although their design is pretty closed. Being FoB I feel like I'm not filling out the upper cup properly. It isn't noticeable at all below clothing, just nitpicking probably... I would neglect the cup issue as the quality is excellent but I got other more crucial fitting problems.
Due to the convertibility the straps are only partially adjustable. So when wearing it normally ...the left strap doesn't adjust short enough for me. Always clipping them crosswise would solve this problem but isn't practical for me. Clipping the upper strap parts together the bra converts into a halter. Sadly this doesn't work for me either. Being petite the resulting halter strap is far to long.
Going down a cup may solve the cup and strap adjustment issues but I doubt it would make a big difference concerning the halter function. My search for a convertible bra is still on then! Read more 85 more words
