Fairly thin, sleek, soft & sturdy textiles paired with industrial-strength stretch satin straps. Band is lightweight but resilient knit, finer weight than average hook & eye closure.

Cups are a fine medium weight knit outer, lined in slightly stretchy duoplex with a stretchy wide upper lace band. The side control is less based in flattening the outer breast and more of a 'Come ... now there's plenty of room for us all to get along, here now let's make you right at home- don't you prefer this forgiving centerfulness?' Gore appears taller than it truly is as the wires are closer-set and run parallel, band has a somewhat curved polish shaping.


All of this is quite agreeable to my sideheavy, FOB and generally PITA shape that runs twice as deep as it is high. I opted to go for straight sizing rather than down due to immobile tissue that dislikes being pushed about or squashed. Others may need to study their IMF and depth needs at length before deciding.
I'd suggest just getting one's closest fit, and having any spare strap/height/band taken in by a tailor as this one is a 'seamless' wear that just embraces the curves.

Pity this isn't made in sub 30 sizes, as I want at least 5 more now, and will be looking into the plunge and long-line styles.

Well made and extremely comfortable. Unfortunately a bit too big in the cups.

Best bra ever! I’ve had these in several colours, and worn them almost daily for years - beautiful, amazing quality, most comfortable bra I’ve ever tried and gives the perfect natural-but-better shape. I used to wear these in 32G, but have lost some weight and can’t afford to buy new ones in the right size - I still miss it every single time I put on a bra...

Too big in the cups for me now, but at one point it was a pretty good fit there, if I ignored the wrinkling at the bottom of them (as I always did). https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Band felt a little tight when I bought it; it's very stretched out now, to the point where I had to edit down the measurements a little. (The resting band is definitely ~26.5" now and it stretches to 34" without distorting the cups.)

This bra is very comfortable, but the straps are slightly too far apart for my narrow shoulders. In the pictures, I haven't pushed them towards my neck as I'd otherwise do, so they sit as they "should" do.

Even though the bra is unpadded, it gives my breasts a very nice, round shape and it's very soft and feels nice to wear. I can't quite fill out the very top of the bra (the cup goes far up the straps) but it's not very noticeable as it's just the lace part, and the gap doesn't show through clothes.

I will keep it even though it's not "perfect", because the flaws don't really bother me and it's very cute... And it was on sale.

Oh. my. Gosh. The best bra ever. So comfortable, so natural looking, and so uplifting, I look smaller in this, and it's not a minimizer. I bought this and the Deauville, which is a tie for the best bra. Pros: shape, comfort, incredibly well made, very secure and supported. cons, e price of course, but having purchased and sent back many bras because of the fit, I think the quality will pay for itself.
