This bra fits me a lot better than I thought it would. Usually plunge bras make my breasts touch, which I do not like, but this bra kept them apart while giving me a nice shape. The bra almost fits me, but the bottom of the cup is a bit too shallow for me so I cannot wear it quite as high as I should. There aren't any wrinkles, it's just pushed a little low. Otherwise I don't have any problems with the amount of projection: some people described it as good for shallow breasts, but I have a fair ...amount of projection and don't have issues.
On the downside, it is a bit lumpy under some clothing, as you can see from the pictures of me in the URKYE Skub, which is a heavier weight fabric. I'm also a bit worried that the straps will stretch, as they are quite thin.
Update: November 22, 2013
I have been wearing this bra about once a week since I purchased it. I am still happy with the shape and plan to get other bras in this style. However, I will go up a size as the cups are borderline for me, and clearly too small one week out of the month.
I am using the bra on the middle hook now and have not noted any stretching in the straps.

Here is my review of the 34H, which is a better fit for me even on a regular day of the month. http://bra.pe/RDki/
I would suggest sizing up in this bra. Read more 164 more words
I already own this model of bra in the original pink, in 34GG. Because the bra is shallow, sizing up is often recommended. Initially I did not think this was necessary, but I gradually noticed that I was spilling out of the top of the pink bra so I ordered the cornflower and vanilla versions in one size up, 34H, which was a good choice as the fit is better for me.
These bras have fully adjustable straps. The fit of the cornflower and vanilla colourways is quite similar. The bras give a slightly minimized profile so they are useful when you're trying to fit in clothing with limited room on top.
This review is about the 'vanilla' colourway. Please view my review of the cornflower colourway, as the bras appear identical when new. http://bra.pe/RDki/
This bra is about one cup size too large for me. Because of this, the wires are too broad for me and the straps are a bit too wide set. I believe these issues would be fixed by going down a cup size.
This bra is a very full coverage style. I can't fill out the tops of the cups (even if I went down a size) because my frame is just too petite. The cups are a 4-piece construction and give me a rather pointy shape, but it looks alright under a shirt.
Besides the gorgeous prints (who doesn't love polka dots?), the best part about this bra is its low centre gore. At just 1.5" tall, it works pretty well for me and my rounded sternum. I did have to bend the wires away a bit.
This is a wonderful bra that seems to be made almost specifically for me. Both the cup depth and wire width are spot on for me. The cups are a 4 piece construction, but give me a rounded shape. The band is quite snug. Queenie's cut is much more favourable to my body shape than Lottie, which was cut much too high. The centre gore is absolutely amazing. At 1.25" tall is doesn't dig into my sternum at all, which is pretty much a miracle.
The only negative is that the straps are still a little bit wide set for me.
Wow, the color of this bra is amazing. It is quite unique. The actual detail of the bra is also amazing. From the love heart strap adjusters to the patterns of the lace this bra is beautiful.
However, the shape is all wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. The cups are shallow and super wide. In fact the underwire goes all the way back to the back of my arm pit. No its not too big. The center of the bra is not deep enough pushing your breasts in an east west direction.
The actual back band is only 8 inches long on the loosest hook. That is, from underwire ...to underwire across the back which means when you put it on the underwire gets pulled right back to your back instead of meeting nicely at your armpits.
The bottom of the cups is too shallow and my breasts seem to double over/fold over and down because of this. See photos. This seems to be a problem most women have and even the model wearing this Bra in Tutti Rouges promotional photos has this same problem.
The underwires are almost like a Nike symbol or a tick if you like. So the majority of your breasts are pushed out the sides and squashed in an odd shape. Yet there is still extra fabric on the sides where the underwire reaches your back.
I really wish they would re-do this bra in a regular fit and shape. If I could only just bend the underwire to a standard shape the bra would be a whole new bra instead of having banana shaped underwire. I tired to wear this bra around the house. Only after some time when I lifted up my top to see what it looked like I realized that one of my breasts was totally out of the cup and sitting on top of it. Needless to say, I won't be able to wear this bra. Such a shame since it looks stunning when it's not on. Read more 229 more words
At the beginning i ordered these in wrong size. Now i have the right one and these look so pretty on me. Cups gave me really lovely round shape. Center gore is quite high, but it's not problem for me. Band is tight enough, but it stretches quite much. These feel really comfortable when i'm wearing these. I really want these on mint too.
This bra does not fit like a 28H. It fits more like a 26HH. The band is definitely not a 28 and more of a 26. I wouldn't recommend ordering this bra in the 28 band unless you really need a sub-28 bra because you won't fit it. All that being said I absolutely love this bra because it is super cute and comfortable. I am able to wear this bra on the first set of hooks with all three fastened.
I really love these bras. They look great, feels great and are really comfortable. Only thing i don't like these is those heart-shaped rings on back. They sometimes digs in to my skin and that doesn't feels nice.
This bra is too shallow for me at the bottom of the cup, so I had wrinkling. It wasn't as bad as Tutti Rouge Birds of a Feather, but it was on par with the Sophia.
It's gorgeous. I love the mint, it's my idea of 'sweet' (pink makes me agressive...)
The 28E fits like a charm, but normally I'm somewhere between a 28E and F. (I have fairly wide, shallow, full-on-bottom boobs)
The band is really comfy on my skinny 26in ribcage. It seems to be a true 28 band, am wearing it on the loosest hook like all other 28 bands. (I wear my bands as lose as possible without them travelling) The cups are wide, but not oddly so. I have perhaps half a cm of space left in the cup, but I think it encloses more of the ...'underarm fat' than other bras because it's a smooth fit everywhere.
I'm 5'10 tall, so I have no problem with the long straps, but I'm already adjusting them to their tightest on the right. I can imagine this might be a problem for someone who normally shops at the 'petite' department. (But then again, height isn't the ONLY determinant of where the bra sits, and they should be easy to alter)
After a day's wearing it's stil comfy and exactly where I put it this morning.
The bra is definitely a win.
The briefs are a size S, and they're made for someone who wears bigger jeans than I do, sadly. I don't know why Tutti Rouge sells 28 bands but no XS panties! They somehow stay put though. Read more 129 more words
This is a gorgeous bra, I just wish it fit. I don't understand what's going on. I can't fill the bottom at all, even though the wires are super wide as are the straps.
It's beautiful, with eyelash lace, delicate straps, and Tutti Rouge branded on the strap.
This bra is more suited to someone who is full on top. I had a lot of gaping in the lace section on the top. The bra seems to be less shallow than some of Tutti Rouge's other offerings.
This bra is made for a fairly shallow shape. Unlike the Liliana, which is also shallow but somehow fits me despite my projection, the Birds of a Feather had serious wrinkling in the bottom of the cups. I would guess it was a good inch or more away from the bottom of my breast, and it just couldn't be lifted higher.
[This is for the "Vanilla" coulourway, the band seems to be longer, but less stretchy than the "Hot Coral" or "Cornflower Blue"] Perfect for shallow, full on bottom breasts- full review will be up as soon as I get the matching brazillian!

This is a beautiful balconette/half cup bra (I'm not entirely sure which, see pictures) with a vertical seam on the cups. It's trimmed in bright pink lace and so very, very pretty. I'm wearing it with an extender but otherwise I like the way it fits. The straps have a cute heart-shaped clip for adjustments. However, the straps are set a bit TOO wide and slip off one of my shoulders.
This bra doesn't bring me "front and center" like some others (the EM Porcelanka comes to mind). I don't fill out the bottom of the cup. But it's pretty and feminine, and I feel supported. It really isn't a good fit for me but it's so darn pretty.
