Too small for me in the cups and too large in the band.

I discovered to be a 34 E so it is a little too small in the cups and a little bit too large in the band.
It's a nice looking bra.

It's very easy to wear. The fabric and straps are soft and stretchy, which adds to comfort but takes away from support. The straps are also narrow. The cups consist of two layers that don't always line up, ie. the inner layer tends to form creases. Bigger Triumph bras tend to be very flat and round. This one's a bit pointier. The elastic band that goes around the torso is firm, so it's (still) wearable even though the band is too loose for me.

One of the hooks came loose on one side, but I was able to fix it.

To say it's unattractive is an understatement. But then again, it's not supposed to be sexy or cute, hence the name "Business Shaper".

I got it because it was the only one I could find in local stores that fit to some degree and wasn't ridiculously expensive. That was before I set out to find the perfect bra. The band is definitely too big and has stretched out over time. A machine wash tightens it a bit, but after one day of wearing the cups ride up my breasts so much it's killing me.

The size issue aside, I can't imagine a more comfortable bra. Wide and lightly padded straps, molded cups, soft and non-intrusive materials all over, a generous amount of support...

The shape is round and flat. It's a plain-looking everyday bra.

Edit: I've tightened the band by cutting away as much as possible between the underwires and ~0.5 inch from the back (both sides), and it now fits perfectly.

This bra fits perfectly and gives me a great round shape with cleavage. My boobs stay put and don't sneak out under the arm. It is very comfortable with no poking or scratching. The back is too big and rides up, so I wear it on the tightest setting. There are two bras with the same name, Amourette 300, but this is the 3/4 cup style. It has a different construction than most other bras I have seen: it has one vertical seam running the entire length of the bra cup. There is a very thin foam inside cup with a stretchy lace overlay on top, also with ... the vertical seam. When I bought the bra from Figleaves, the left center wire was poking out. I was desperate and needed a bra, and I didn't want to pay to ship it back and wait for a new one, so I just sewed up the underwire channel. Of course it has since popped open, so I will have to resew it. I am looking to buy another one in a 32 band.

The bra doesn't fit at all. It's push up (molded). I don't like it, but I needed red bra fast, so I bought it and now I'm trying to sell it out.
I like the color of the bra. It's really nice hue of red.

I got this because I have a 34DD Triumph that fits very well, but I thought a 32E might fit more snugly and last better. I was wrong; this band is just too tight. It is a very different style than my 34DD Amourette, so ymmv with Triumph sizing.

While it's billed as a full-cup bra, it looks like a demi on all the models. It looks like a full-cup bra on me, and a bullet bra at that: my breasts just fill the 3-part cups without stretching or relaxing the material into a natural shape. Pointy pointy.

The center gore is also angled in such a way that it pulls my breasts too far apart, and I ache a bit just from trying it on for this review. Not for close breasts.

I think someone with much fuller breasts than mine could fill it out, smoothing the silhouette and showing rounded breast over the top of the cup. I still think the model shots that look like a demi are misleading.

Don't be afraid of this "padded" bra, busty ladies! it's just structured, is all.

I was put off at first by its unwashed, unworn shape—a bit boxy and unnatural—but it was really comfortable, and then it wore in well. Great balconette for full-bottomed breasts. Makes my boobs look lush.

Some reviews complain about the width of the straps, but I love them. They're set widely enough that they don't get too much in the way, and if they do peek they look more like a cami. Allover lace is textured, but I haven't had a problem with it. Seams are flat.

I wish it had metal findings, but otherwise it's well constructed. I've had this bra for a year and a half and it's still kicking despite being worn several times weekly for most of that time. The most annoying thing is that the little lace scallops at the bottom edge of the bra all flip up, which is less cute. No big deal.

With this bra I'm unable to tell you the original band size as I have owned it for several years and in the meantime got used to tight ones - it is heavily adjusted. Weirdly enough, it didn't affect the fit of the cup, or very minimally. The central gore would perhaps be more narrow in a 32 band, but it is no real problem.

This is the bra with the best fitting cups I have ever worn. It is also extremely beautiful, the lace is simply lovely. It shows through light clothes, but you can't have everything. It is also supportive and I sadly never found a proper equivalent in my true size where the balconettes tend to be awfully high and full coverage is not my cup of tea.

A gorgeous bra, completely made of substantial stretch lace; this particular version of the style is a demi-cup with a light foam liner. Did I mention it looks fabulous on? The lace continues up the strap, giving a very graceful square neckline.

Now for the bad: the only thing I can wear it under is a sweater. The lace shows through everything else, and also, the shape it gives the breasts is just plain odd. They look a bit lie pyramids turned sideways, with the points facing up instead of out, & strange squared-off angles. So, pretty much this is either a bra to show off to your sweetie, or to wear under very heavy, non-fitted fabrics.
