I had high hopes for this bra. When I tried it on, it is really comfortable, too. But, when I looked in the mirror, I was very disappointed. I started looking at more pictures here and elsewhere and I realized the SMALLER cup sizes look great... larger cup sizes - meh. NOT the shape I'm looking for. Seems kind of pointy, east/west, and droopy. Really disappointed in this one, so it's going up for sale.
Also, this is also a strangely NOISY bra, at least when new. There is a lot of creaking and groaning as the wires move in the channels even with small movements. Hopefully this is something that would stop after a break-in period, but I haven't noticed it with others before.

Thanks for the review. I thought I posted a comment after I first joined Bratabase but obviously didn't.
Over time, did the fit improve or get worse? The Belle is the one bra that has been on my radar for so many years yet I would not pull the trigger because I'm convinced this design as a little too east/west, a little too splayed and will become less supportive over time - was this your experience?
