This bra is adorable, but I need a size up. I recommend you size up unless you have very shallow breasts.

This bra runs about a cupsize small, I have the cream version. It flattens my boobs and does weird things to them. I like my breasts to have a lot more projection, and this bra simply doesn't work for me. I would like to try a size up. It's so freaking cute, and I know some women do prefer a minimizing effect, but I don't.

The bra fits awkwardly on me. It's the cutest thing ever, but the shape is horribly incompatible with my breasts. I think it would be suited to someone with shallow, wider breasts. I have narrow roots so this bra doesn't work for me.

This is my second TR bra. I have to say how beautiful it is! It's very frilly and girly. It's a beautiful deep garnet color. The band is extremely tight and only stretches 30". So I'm using an extender. The cups are not as shallow as the Sophia. I still get a small emptiness at the bottom. It gives a nice round, minimized profile.

The Betty is a lovely bra, and gives a wonderful shape. However, I sister sized up to a 32FF from my typical 30G in Freya and Cleo bras because I'd read a lot of reviews saying the band ran really tight. I usually wear Cleos with an extender for the first couple of months, but I can wear Freyas comfortably right away on the loosest hooks. I need bras that stretch to ~32in on my 30.5in snug/29in tight underbust, but unfortunately Betty stretches all the way to 34 https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I also tried the Liliana in 30GG, but the band on that was super tight for a 30 (stretched to ~29in). Both the Liliana and the Betty also ran small for me in the cups. I think my ideal TR size would be 30GG in the Betty and 32GG in Liliana.

This is a beautiful bra that sadly didn't work for my shape at all https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> i bought it in a 32E instead of my usual 34DD because i had heard that the band rand large, and it was also only of the only sizes left that was close to mine. I believe my breasts are full on bottom, and wide. possibly shallow- though i'm not 100% sure. A tutti rouge rep advised me to size up a cup in Frankie if you are full on the bottom.

As looks go, this is my One True Bra- I've been after it since i saw ... it debut. Its a lovely true shade of mint with white polka dots, with the straps made of the same material (though ruched) for the first half and then transitioning into satin style mint elastic. There is mint lace on the tops of the cups and bottom of the bra in the front, white picot trim along the underarm area, and the signature heart shaped adjusters. The gore has a pink satiny bow with a smaller white embroidered bow on top. The cups are sheer, and the band is a bit more sturdy with solid mint colored mesh. So basically, this is everything I've ever wanted in a bra.

The fit on me is awful! It completely breaks my heart. I get a very pointed, low sort of look- almost the way i look when naked, but the breast tissue is at least pulled in from the sides. The top of the cup seems to press in on my breast tissue and cut in slightly. I'm assuming i need a larger cup, but i feel like the placement of the under wires is actually perfect, so larger might not work. Perhaps the pointed shape is also because there isn't enough room in the cup, but as its an unlined bra (in a few cup sizes larger than my usual!), I'm almost certain this is just the shape i get in them, and it isn't cut for my breast shape. The straps are another major issue for me- they're so far apart! they cut in and sit in my arm pits, and i definitely don't have a petite build. My shoulders are fairly wide, and they almost fall off. I'm wondering if its because i'm in a larger cup? no idea.

The band looks quite short, and juuuuust reaches 34, but i don't feel uncomfortable with it on. Its a very sturdy band, and snug, and would probably give a little after it was broken in. I cant really say if it runs true to size or whatnot, since i got a size so far removed from my regular, but i would advise contacting the stockist and asking them to measure the band for you first. Large Cup Lingerie is where i got mine, and they were great about helping me measure to see what size to go for. I would definitely recommend them, as they remained pleasant and helpful even after my 15+ emails with them trying to figure out what size to get, and then return. Plus, free worldwide shipping means you only have to pay for returns, which is nice since i was fairly certain this would happen. Sadly this beauty is headed back to them https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This is a very pretty bra. The cups are half lace and half padded. I straps don't adjust very far but they are pretty with a lot of details, like little hearts. Unfortunately, the straps seem to connect right under the armpit so if you move your arms forward it's very awkward and uncomfortable.

I know this bra doesn't work for many women. I think it might be ok on me in a smaller cup size or if I had more projection or fuller on top. The cups were a bit too wide on me and the lace on the top kind of wrinkles. I didn't have the buckling problem at the bottom like many others experienced, I guess because I'm quite shallow.

Mildly similar to the Parfait Kimberly in terms of fit-- gore wouldn't lay flat, breasts pushed the cups down, and I felt like basically none of my breast was in the cup.

I got this bra in both 34GG and 34H because I have found that 34H is the right size for me in the Liliana and Betty, but in many other Tutti Rouge bras, I need 34GG. It turned out this was one of the ones I needed to size up in, so I did not bother to try on the 34GG.

This review is about the apple green colorway (Bravissimo exclusive).

The 34GG I've had for several months is a little too small, and this is a little too big, but I think it's a reasonable fit. It's one size up in the cup from my usual, and my regular smaller band size which I might wear with one hook of extender for a bit. Otherwise, see my 34GG review!

This review covers the original cream colorway.

Love this bra. Great for my wide but shallow boobs. I wear the Betsey Johnson Eyelet Demi in 30D and Natori Feathers Contour Plunge in 30DD but I can stretch the bands out 3-4 inches. This Liliana is just as wide in the wires even though the band is tighter. My underbust snug is 27'' and the 28 band in the Liliana is plenty snug, can only stretch back about 2 inches.

Very pretty, nice quality. Straps too far apart, rub under arms. This is also too big of a cup size for me, so that might contribute to this problem.

Updated on Jan 24, 2014 Flag this

Beautiful, love the look. The biggest problem is that the edge of the straps where they meet the cup are to close to the edge and are very irritating in the armpits.

Updated on Jan 24, 2014 Flag this

There is a slight quadraboob effect where the stiffer cup fabric transitions to the stretchier lace, but it's not a big problem. I wish the straps adjusted longer--I have them at their longest extension and they feel a bit tight (the edge of the strap where it meets the cups is so far to the side that it digs into my armpit a bit). I can comfortably fasten the band on the tightest hooks.

The underwire feels comfortable against my ribs, and the center gore doesn't bother me too much. The bra is pretty and feels soft.

Biggest problem: the strap digging into my armpit.

Pros:
- Wide and shallow cups, which is perfect for my wide and shallow boobs.
- Wires come up high enough under my arms so they don't poke.
- Gore sits comfortably.
- Super cute design, and love the matching bottoms.

Cons:
- Band might be a bit loose, it's hard to say, I can sometimes use a 28 band, though often it feels too tight.
- The lace trim on the bottom part of the band might show through on some tighter shirts, I didn't think it was too much of a problem but it depends.

Really love this bra, incredibly comfortable really pretty.

Bra was too shallow for me at the bottom and too large overall. I did not keep it.

Alright.. I got this bra at the same time as the 28FF - Tutti Rouge » Mae Bra, so as I wash and wear it more, I'll be adding more information. This review is just my initial feelings about the bra.

Appearance: Again, gorgeous! It's a graphite, kind of silvery satin with black polkadot mesh and black lace in various parts of the bra. There isn't any black lace on the front of the band (unlike the Mae). It also has two red rosettes at the gore, and one rosette each at the straps. Something peculiar though, is that in the campaign shoot (what I'm assuming ... is a prototype model) the Queenie doesn't have the black lace running diagonally down the middle of the cup (from strap to gore). Then, in the stock photo for their Big Cartel shop, it shows that diagonal black lace, as well as some lace attached to the front of the band. However, now that I received it, it doesn't have the lace attached to the band (but I'm okay with that; I didn't really like it anyway) but it does still have the diagonal lace on the cup (which I would've preferred not to have, because I love the look of Queenie from the campaign, but oh well).

Fit: Alright, now for the nitty gritty. I got this in a 28G because I was afraid that it would be too shallow in a 28FF, and also, my 28FF Freya Deco Shape Multiway is just a smidgen too small in the cup. Anyhow, the band doesn't quite stretch as much as the Mae, which makes it feel tight. Then again, I've never worn a band that's technically small enough for me (I fluctuate around a 24/25" snug measurement), so we'll see how it goes. It has two hooks and eyes, but the band is decently wide, so it feels better than Cleo, per se. The underwires! Oh, the underwires. They are so wide. They nearly wrap around to my back, and I feel a lot of pressure from them on my ribs. Also, I noticed in both the Queenie and the Mae that the underwires are fairly soft, pliable, weak, etc. and I'll probably be bending them in a little to make them slightly more narrow. We'll see how that goes. The gore does tack on this though, probably due to the plunge construction. The cups are fully padded, but this is the main reason (other than the wide wires) why I now wish I would've gotten a 28FF. I fill the cups, but probably only because of the padding and slightly shallow construction. Speaking of which, I do get a slight orange-in-glass effect, but not enough to bother me. Also, the cups come up really high under my armpit (tail of spence). The cups have 4-part construction, and seem to give a slightly pointed shape at the diagonal seam. I'll see if that softens when I wash it, but probably not. The straps, again, are only partially adjustable, which is a bummer. They're slightly closer set than the Mae, and also satiny like the rest of the bra.

Again, we've got a problem with the knickers. I got the thong, just like the Mae, and on the label it says "M", but it seems to measure SMALLER than the "S" in the Mae thong in some areas, like the waistband. Weird. waistband laying flat: 14.25", waistband stretched: 18.75", waistband to bottom of gusset, laying flat (top to bottom): 9", widest part of gusset: 2.25", narrowest part of gusset: 1.25", gusset length: 5.25", total length (from front waistband through gusset to back waistband): 18.25".

And there you have it. Again, I'll be updating later, but hopefully this does well enough for now.

I'll write a more thorough review after I've worn it and washed it, but here are my initial feelings about the 28FF - Tutti Rouge » Mae Bra. First of all, it is gorgeous! It's a deep red, kind of wine colour with a black velvet rose at the gore and two little black bows at the straps which are overlayed with a black kind of lace chain pattern. It also has black lace attached to the band at the front of the bra, but not the back. It has one vertical seam, and is padded except for the mesh upper section, also separated by lace. ... I got the matching thong, which is the same colour scheme, also with a velvet rose attached to the centre of the waistband.

Fit: The band is stretchy on this one, but still firm. It's very comfortable. Two hooks and eyes. As for the underwires, they're a little bit wide on me, but I have narrow roots. They're still comfortable though, and comparable to my 28G Cleo Lucy's wires. However, the gore doesn't tack completely. The cups are filled well, and they run slightly large, as I'm hovering between a 28FF and G. It's a slightly shallow construction, but nothing to gripe about.. yet... Also, the cups are rubbing against my armpit (or tail of spence) a little, which could become irritating.
The straps are a little wide-set for my liking, but I always have that problem. However, the real problem lies in the half-adjustable design. I'm short, and I'm already wearing it on the tightest strap setting possible. Also, the straps are very thin, and feel like they could become slightly itchy or irritating after extended wear.

I'm gonna talk about the thong now, because it's a little bit of an issue. I asked for the thong in a small size, and it fits more like a Freya Medium. It runs very large, and I'll probably look into getting it tailored (strange, I know) just to put some darts in it to take in the sides and the length of the gusset. Here are some basic measurements... waistband laying flat: 15.5", waistband stretched: 19.25", waistband to bottom of gusset, laying flat (top to bottom): 8.5"(ish), widest part of gusset: 2.5", narrowest part of gusset: 1.25", gusset length: 5.25", total length (from front waistband through gusset to back waistband): 16.5".

Alright, do with this information what you will. I just thought I'd do my part, since there are barely any reviews or measurements of Tutti Rouge's stuff yet.
