It's better for FOT, sadly it lacks the immediate projection to really work for me.

I have this in the AW14 red and the SS14 'powder blue' colorway. The red is a deep oxblood red color, and the powder blue is really more minty green than anything. They're both gorgeous, and look better in person than photos. While the wire width of these are ridiculous and the cups are insanely shallow, I do still love this bra. The 34 band is perfect for me, as I am in between a 32 and 34. I'd definitely advise to size up in both band and cup. While I can't nearly fill the bottom of the cup because of its shallowness, I still get good uplift--though ... it is very minimizing. I wouldn't call this a t-shirt bra, but it's good for clothes that look best with a minimized shape (think: button-up blouses). I've found that the more recent seasons (from SS14 and on) have a much, much better fit than previous seasons. The cup is slightly more deep in current seasons, which keeps my boobs better in place. The biggest issue for is the straps, as they can rub my arms by the end of the day. The material of the bra is lush and super soft, so it isn't really that bad but I do notice it.

This is a gorgeous bra, but it wasn't *quite* right for me. I could likely get away with it one cup smaller. I can already see it gives a perfectly round shape, but I can't fill the cups all the way, so there's slight wrinkling in my larger breast, and quite a bit of wrinkling in the smaller. Additionally, the wire is too wide for me, but not as bad as the multiple Liliana bras I own. I'm guessing the trick for TR is to size up in their padded styles (I fit a 34H in both the Liliana and Betty), but go with your normal size in their unpadded. I don't have enough experience with the brand to know for sure. I can attest that the Nichole, at least, does not have as insanely wide wires as the Liliana and it allows for much more projection.

I couldn't resist the Simply Be exclusive color of my favorite bra, but it started at a 34 band, so I got the sister size. Unfortunately, even though a Tutti Rouge Liliana 32 band runs like a normal 30, the 34 runs like a 34. So there is a void in the middle with no true 32 band, and this bra has a band two sizes too big. With a bra that minimizes this much, the band tension really changes the cup shape a lot, so I didn't like it as much as my everyday Lilianas.

This fits in every way it should; it's just wrong for my shape. It flattens me out nearly completely, and provides no lift. Shame, as it's gorgeous.

This bra needs more room for my immediate lower projection. The apex of the cups' projection seems rotated far away from my breasts' natural inclination. I'd prefer it to be about two inches closer to my sternum. The bra cups prefer a more wall-eyed view. The print seems like boring semi-abstract floral, but when I had it on, I liked the way it looked with my skin.

This review is about the powder blue colourway.

I have tried all four colourways of this bra. This one runs true to the Liliana sizing, which means that I sized up one cup size. The band is in the smaller of the two sizes I routinely wear and requires one hook from an extender, just like the cornflower blue and vanilla Lilianas, but in contrast to the Betty which I do not need an extender for. The colour is a very light blue, verging on mint in the lace but obviously blue in the band. It is much more green than the powder blue Betty. ... I took the pictures in natural light and I think they give a fairly accurate depiction of the colour. The band characteristically curves upward and appears short compared to the cups.

I am quite satisfied with Tutti Rouge's customer service. I returned some bras back in February and asked them to replace them with two bras from their spring collection when they became available, and both were sent to me without any prompting.

This bra is new so I have not worn it yet, but I expect that it will be similar to the other Lilianas I own.

This review is about the powder blue colourway.

I have tried this bra in one other colourway, Ivory/floral. This one runs true to the Betty sizing, which means that I sized up one cup size and the band is comfortable in the smaller of my two regular sizes. The colour is more obviously blue than the powder blue Liliana, which verges on mint. I took the pictures in natural light and I think they give a fairly accurate depiction of the colour. The band characteristically curves upward and appears short compared to the cups.

I'm somewhat disappointed that Tutti Rouge has decided to add a label from coppafeel, both because I find the charity's name offensive and in light of recent scientific reports about the limited utility of monthly breast exams. I don't feel this kind of advertisement belongs in bras; if nothing else, it leads to a lot of heated debate.

This bra is new so I have not worn it yet, but I expect that it will be similar to my other Betty of the same size.

I really like the crisp pale green of this bra. It was a bit unusual to have just a vertical seam in a transparent bra, and I think this contributes to the unusual look: the gore appears almost punched in to my sternum. The bra minimizes and rounds, basically turning my projection into height and upper fullness. This is evident visually as well; my nipples even appear elongated vertically. With this bra, I get upper rounding all the way to my collarbone, which is normally just tails of spence as I am FoB. Size up in the cup for this bra, just like ... the Betty and Liliana. I thought the band was fine in the smaller of my two usual sizes, but I might wear it with a single hook of extender.

I've noticed that this bra doesn't have quite enough projection for me. Just above where the nipple is, I bulge up and toward the gore. This is most noticeable in side profile. My breast is still within the bra, I'm not quadboobing out the top, and I already sized up one cup size. It's similar to the look I get when I wear a bra with an overly constraining diagonal seam (although this bra has only vertical seams). It is somewhat visible from the front as well when I'm only in my bra. Thus the bra does not give the nicest shape if you have a lot of projection, although it is otherwise a nice bra.

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.

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

This review is about the cornflower colourway.

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.

Here is my review of the first Liliana, in pink: http://bra.pe/RCQS/

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/
