I bought this bra in two colours: black and a beige-pink. I measured the black one for Bratabase, but I only took pictures of myself in the beige-pink one.

The bra has straps that can be removed and modified into a tonne of different configurations. I haven't tried them yet, but it's clear from looking at it that there are a lot of options. You can take them off completely, or remove them from the front or the back to make them match pretty much any neckline.

It also comes with an additional strap you can use to attach to the closures on ... the back and wrap around your waist to make the back lower. Doing this you do lose some support. I tried wearing the bra initially without the strap, but I found the band was so tight that it stretched the wires so much they came out the back of my armpits. Once I added the extra strap that problem went away and the bra was actually very comfortable.

The cups are made of two pieces: a top piece and the bottom piece which is shaped with a dart. So because it's not moulded it has some good projection, but it is not seamless. It also doesn't have a lot of push-up. I have fairly close-set breasts and it didn't give me cleavage, but maybe if you adjust the straps tighter than I had them it would. The cups are deep and they have a high apex. I found them slightly wide for me, but only by a small amount, and I don't have any outer fullness so I don't fill out the outer edge of the cups, which can make it kind of difficult to tell if the cup is too wide, or it's just my lack of outer fullness making it seem like it.

Overall I think this bra is excellent for it's intended purpose: as a special occasion/going out bra for having some shape and a small amount of support. Not an every day bra.
