If like me you're not a fan of moulded/padded bras the Divine is definitely worth a try as a t-shirt bra. The cups are made of sturdy floral lace which is shaped trough little darts at the centre gore and base of the cup, achieving a smooth round uplifted shape without any visible seams.
This pale pink Prima Donna calls Venus is too light to work as a nude for me, but I imagine this could work for someone with pale skin. For me this is the perfect summer bra, cheerful, lightweight and seamfree.

I found this bra to have enough projection and deep cups. But consider: the gore is about 1'' wide and the cups are quite closed on top without any stretch. It worked for me as I'm wideset and FoB but I think the cut is not very forgiving shapewise. It has to match your shape just as it would be with a moulded bra.

Love the overall color, pattern, and style. Band fits well, though only having one hook per row makes it feel less sturdy. It has held up well though! My one complaint is the overall shape. The cups aren't widely spaced but the contour really separates your breasts and points them outwards. They have a slightly conical shape to the cups as well. It's not too pronounced but compared to other bras these give me a little bit of torpedo boob! I do wear them a lot, although my main complaint is that the top of the cups come up quite high so it's not great with tanks or low-cut shirts.

I don't love molded, seam-free bras but this one is quite a find. For starters, it's actually deep, which is strange for molded bras, in my experience. Amazingly, this is accomplished by the use of strategically placed, very short darts at the centre gore and base of the cup. This allows for optimal contour but no visible seams. The fabric is very structured, producing excellent support despite soft(ish) wires (which generally I hate) and a narrow band (2 hooks). The support and lift are terrific. This is a much narrower and deeper Prima Donna than I've ever tried before. In general, I like Empreinte and do NOT like ... the fit of Prima Donna for my close-set, centre-projected, narrowish breasts. I'm never going to find this as sexy as a lace bra with seams, and I'm not super into the round boob look in its extreme incarnation (as we see it all over the place these days), but for under slim clothes, this is quite a good shape. It's pricey, though. I paid 165 CDN before tax. The straps are sleek looking, although they're actually 0.8" wide. They're also very comfortable, though firm.

I only tried on the Prima Donna Divine in a local lingerie shop. I didn't buy it because the gore is much too high for comfort. However, its profile reminded me of my Cleo Marcie super round shape! The tag said it was 30F. I'll go back to check it's equivalent to Bratabase's 65F. Perhaps I'll get to take more measurements. The 9" cup depth was the main thing I wanted people to know about this size.

Because the cup material is a semi-sheer floral weave, it could've worked as a nude for me despite the non-flesh pink color. The color resembles the pale pink Bratabase uses. The only ... seams were two darts, one vertical starting from the underwire, and the other horizontally from the gore. With the straps shortened all the way, the slightly bigger breast achieved a perfect Cleo roundness, without Marcie's slight in-cup bulging. The smaller breast experienced slight wrinkling above the wire and at the cup's upper edge, but I'm pretty sure I could've smoothed those out if I'd forced the adjuster over the embroidered front part of the strap. I may try this if I go back to the store.

I also wanted to praise Charmelle 28 in Palo Alto, California, for having a 30F in stock. They have few 30 bands in what I consider the serious bra brands. If I didn't find non-plunge gores so painful, I'd buy this in a second. I'd love a comfy, easy-to-pack sheer bra in a nude-for-me that obscures my nipples.

I'll update this review if I try this bra on again.

Lovely pink colour. Cups completely encompass my breasts without any extra space on the bottoms or sides. Sheer, but lace is placed strategically to obscure the nipple. My left breast is slightly smaller so it doesn't quite fill the lace on the top. Lace is not scratchy. Only one hook on bra closure which looks quite strained at the end of the day. Pretty ribbon and bow details. Gore sits right on my sternum. No gaping or quadboob. This bra fits me well. It was expensive though. I paid $165 CDN.

It’s a beautiful bra, but if you’re a true 32D, I think it’s unlikely to fit you. Check out my “other bras that fit,” and you’ll see sizes like 30F, 32DD, and 32E, but this bra was large on me.

I do love the narrow wire width of the cups, but the cups are not only deep but quite tall and full most of the way up. I can’t wear closed cups (I have enough top fullness that they cut in), but I couldn’t come close to filling the tops of these cups. If this bra had less fullness on top, I think it actually would have fit well, though I’m not sure that it would work for FOT folks, because it’s also got a lot of bottom depth. Maybe if you have very narrow roots and very round breasts, this might work for you?

Yowza, this is a really small band! (Note: Check out the individual measurements for actual sizing, which is around 27 inches stretched. The interpolated data point is really throwing the numbers off here.)

Delightfully narrow cups, though, and good projection. (Prima Donna runs really deep.) I normally wear a 30E/F UK, but I think I’m going to try a 32D in this. Only thing other than the band that I don’t like is that it only has one hook in the back (I’d prefer 3, but I’ll settle for 2).
