I fell in love with this bra after seeing it on a website but the price was too high. I finally found it on sale and this was the only size available that is close to mine.
The band fits well and is very comfy with extra padding underneath the hooks. I do find the ribbon along the bottom of it to be kind of annoying since it tends to roll but it is still beautiful. It is a firm fit as well and doesn't feel like it will stretch excessively. It is similar to Cleo bands, IMO, but without the initial scratchy feel.
The cups are lightly ... padded which is exactly what I want. I have several unlined bras now and I still have my push-up bras so I need something in between those two styles and this is perfect for that. The overall style is retro and it has a retro feel as well. The lift is better than any of my other bras (you can tell in the photos. My boobs are just... higher) and the appearance under my knit shirts is great. Not pointed, not too rounded like a molded cup - just up and rounded enough. My larger size is kind of busting out of this though and it has made me seriously consider whether or not to keep it. The smaller side fits pretty darn well and the width is perfect on both sides. The center doesn't fully tack so I need to wear it around the house for more than a few minutes to see how much it might slide down/around.
Overall this is my favorite bra that I have ever tried on. The ribbons and the cups are so unique and it is sturdy and well-made. I like it MUCH better than the unlined version which looked messy and just wrong. It comes in other colors and if this one works out, I will be getting those as well.
