Why I love this bra:
- it has a very open cut, compared to most of the bras I see in my size (32DDD american/70F european size)
- it's comfortable! the lace band is attractive and doesn't dig in anywhere.
- it has removable booster pads, if you want a sexy cleavage look, keep them in, if you need a little more room in the cup (like I do) take them out, and the bra still looks great.
- it looks better on me than it does on the models on the website! I feel like it's made just to make my boobs look better, while being comfortable and fairly ... supportive, which is something I have never felt about a bra before.
Why I don't love this bra more:
- This may be just because of the shape of my body/the fact that I should probably be wearing a 30F but it seems like the cups should be closer together. It almost feels like my breasts aren't round enough for it... if that makes sense.
- It's not great under a thinner/tighter shirt, the lace is too bumpy.
- with the cookies in, I get some double boob. without the cookies in, they still seem to want to pop out, but again this may be the fact that the cups seem too far apart as opposed to the cups actually being too small.

My shape: slightly shallow teardrop/FOB with super wide/tall roots and very close-set tissue in the middle.

This review is for the Ultraviolet colorway.


I found this bra at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. The full-coverage Rive Gauche bra's center gore was way too wide for my breasts and the high center wires dug into my breast tissue, but the plunge bra is fantastic. The gore is low enough that there is no digging, which is an absolute must! Plus, it is really pretty and gives a nice green shape (a la Bras I Hate and Love), although not much lift and the push up pads are very thin. I love the ... color! And the straps! Raspberry over orange cups is great for my thing for bright colors, and the straps are split with a ribbon stitch down the center of each.

I have noticed that the seams of the back band seems to be causing some itching, something I am very sensitive to, and I also expect the roughness to get better after I wash it. The bottom of the underwires also starts to press on my ribs after a while of slumping sideways and sitting in generally awkward positions, which I do a lot, but, then again, this happens with most of my bras. I am also concerned about the outer ends of the underwires eventually poking through the casing because it feels pretty thin. So, basically, stuff to consider, but not dealbreakers for me.

I wear a lot of 30FFs, but the 32DDD(US)/32E(UK) on the tightest hook fits well enough - looser is definitely too big.

Nice pushup without being ridiculous. Can easily remove the push up pads. Bra is lightly padded, but not moulded. Pretty purple/gray color. I'm bottom heavy and this fits perfectly.

makes my chest look HUGE (not always a plus, but sometimes). i love that it has very little excess padding, and what there is is removable, so i can adjust the cleavage to suit my preferences.

I like this bra a lot. It's really cute on, but the band is a bit too big for me. If I wear it on the loosest hook, it doesn't give much support and kind of a weird shape, but if I wear it on the tightest hook, it looks great, with a nice rounded shape; so make sure you get the band right on this one, because it REALLY affects how things look. This was a difficult bra to get the fit right in the cups, but once I figured it out, it was fantastic.
