I bought this beautiful bra at the Semi Annual Sale, and i finally figured out its the Very Sexy Unlined Demi, in the color Nude with Embellishments. To me, it seems much more pink. Unfortunately i assume its being discontinued, because its in the clearance sections. This is my favorite bra of all time!
First off, it''s absolutely GORGEOUS. my pictures do a crap job, but its actually this really soft pinky peach colored mesh all over, with rose lace overlaid on the cups, gore, and band that have brighter pink flowers and stripes. there is also a scattering of embellishments along the lace portion of the cups and ... onto the beginning of the strap- just a few. Its very elegant without being all "bling in your face" like Victoria's Secret tends to do. The straps have a lace trim that tapers down until it meets with an elastic adjustable strap in the back, which attaches back onto the lace and mesh band. on the bottom of the band and the tops of the cups where the lace ends, the lace is scalloped like a trim. the mesh that makes the top bit of the cup is folded over onto itself, so there isn't a seam.
The fit of this bra is so comfortable, its crazy. The parts that touch you are made of the stretchy mesh material, and it's very soft. Because there's no seam on the top edge of the cup, it sits comfortably and doesn't dig- i feel like fuller shapes would find it very accommodating. i fill the cups with no side spillage, even though being a demi means it has lower sides. there's a small sling of the mesh material on the inside of the cup, which may be what helps you stay in- I'm not sure. the gore comes up higher than any other VS bra I've owned, but i find it very comfortable. the only time it bothers me is if I'm doing some crazy moving around and have it on for hours, and i do have a very bony sternum where there's no breast tissue, so perhaps that's why. the band feels snug but breathable, and the straps don't slip on me, although the embellishments keep it from being fully adjustable, which may be a problem for some.
The only issue i have with this bra is that i don't get much help in the shape department. I definitely look better than when i dont have a bra on, since it brings my wide spread out tissue forward, but I look very natural in it, slightly pointed. My breasts are bottom heavy, and this bra doesn't lift them much. I don't have a whole lot of breast tissue, so for someone even moderately fuller than myself, this may mean not getting any support. I'm self conscious about my breast size and prefer at least a lined bra when out in public for the shaping it gives me, so i don't wear this unless I'm going to be keeping my coat on for a quick trip to the store or something. The slightly pointy and low look i get makes me feel too much like im naked! This is also my only unlined bra, so it may not be a bother for someone used to that style.
I would still recommend this bra, because it is incredibly lovely and very comfortable, even if the only purpose it has is as a bra for when you're around the house or running errands. If you like a natural shape, this is probably great for you, and the material feels awesome on the skin. This bra seems designed to look delicate and beautiful, and not so much for every day wear.
