Band is good but just not enough cup or something on the sides.

I absolutely love this bra. This is the first bra I've purchased in my size that even comes close to fitting like a bra should, and it looks pretty great, in my unhumble opinion. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> It fits in all the ways a bra should fit, and I get incredible lift and shape.

That being said, I do have two minor grievances (the first of which I have read is a common one with the Lucy): The underwire is a tiny bit too long, and the very tip rubs against the end bit of the inside portion of my TOS, giving me a minor ... friction burn. Also, the piece of fabric that stands between the middle of your back and the hooks of the bra is about 3mm too short, causing it to itch ever-so-slightly.

The rubbing was much worse on my right side than on my left... I've tried bending the last couple inches of the wire, which I think will help alleviate some the friction, and I am going to sew on a small piece of fabric to the end of the hook-cover. Both are easy enough fixes to make this bra more wearable for me, but even if the wire still touches, it was only annoying to me once I had worn the bra a good 8 hours while at work. Up until that point, I was aware of it, but it didn't really bother me.

These issues will not prevent me from wearing the bra, but I will probably not wear it to work again (or doing extra-physical activities, I guess)... I look and feel too good in it, but I will continue searching for that elusive perfect fit.

While the bra is cute as all get out, the center gore is just way too big to be even mildly tolerable. It is taller and wider than most bras. It's not even remotely comfortable which is a shame considering this bra made me feel super sexy!

Super comfortable with a lovely rounded shape. My go-to bra!

I wish I knew how to describe what's wrong with this bra! It looks ok (I have the white and orange colorway, and I like it) and it gives a nice rounded shape, but it's like the fabric is so thin that when I wear the bra there's always underwire stabbing me *somewhere*. I think the gore is slightly too wide for me, and maybe the underwires are too high under the arms? I'm usually a 34FF and I bought the Lucy in a 36F because I was warned it ran small, but I maybe should have tried a 36E instead -- my bigger breast fills the cup almost perfectly, but there's wrinkling along the lace with the smaller boob.

I wanted to like this bra, but I might have to give up. The cup is very slightly too big. It would be nice to be able to compare it to a 36E but there wasn't one available at the time.

On paper the band is perfect but I prefer my bands slightly looser (I tend to get lightheaded). The center gore digs in enough that I can tell it would hurt wearing it for a full day. The band would be fine with another quarter of an inch of room, and that may have helped with the center gore issue, too.

Otherwise, it's quite pretty. The overall shape was nice.

I loved the purple color, but that's where the love ended. I was getting a quad-boob effect & the wires weren't wide enough, which is becoming a common problem for me.
