The front of this bra fits pretty well, gives great shape. The straps are slightly too far apart for me, I'd basically like for the outer edge of the strap to be where the inner edge of the strap is. The padded straps are awesome, but too long and I had to alter them shorter. The cup fabric of this bra is a shiny silvery white, it kind of reminds me of the fabric used in halloween costumes, and looks kind of cheap. The polka dotted band is delightful though. I bought this with the intention of dyeing it, I think the shiny fabric would look more acceptable ... in hot pink.

The band on this bra is atrocious, I hate it. There's a vertical strip of boning 9cm tall about 7-10cm (at rest vs stretched measurement) from the underwire. Up until that point the band looks like a regular bra band, two layers of fabric with elastic at the top and bottom. past that, there's just a triangle of the two fabrics with no elastic to centre a 2 hook closure (3cm high) onto the strip of boning. The band feels unstable and unsupportive, and that vertical boning digs in at the bottom corner every time I move.

This bra gives me a very flattened, minimized shape. It does so without digging in anywhere though, which is quite odd.

I'm not a huge fan of the shape, but the bra is really comfortable, so I often wear under looser tops.

Received in a swap, so band is not as firm as new.

Overall I like the fit of this bra, though I will be altering it to tighten the band a bit while evening out the band tension. Worn as is the band shifts a bit and the center gore digs in after a few hours as a result.

This is the reason I marked quality/comfort as poor, the front of the bra fits the same as all my other EM bras.

I adore this bra, and this was definitely not the right size when I bought it, but I fell in love with the ivory/pink colourway after it was discontinued and snapped this up when it was listed on here and just stared at it in my drawer.

Through some fortuitous size fluctuations, this fits pretty well now, though I really wish that there was a bit more immediate projection at the base of the cup. The shape I get from this is very round pushed-up cleavage on top, but a little boxy from the side. This only looks good under a certain type of neckline, which is a shame since this bra is so pretty.

I want so badly to love this bra. I like the pink paisley as a pattern, because it's a little fun, but also fairly neutral and doesn't show through light coloured clothes. The stretchy top of the cup is fantastic, and the shape is rounded and projected.

The centre gore digs in very badly (I don't know the cause of this, it doesn't feel particularly too high/low, it just feels like it wants to tack THROUGH my sternum) which is a problem I experience frequently in Panache and Cleo bras. The wires are just a touch too tall under the arm, so it's not comfortable for long periods of wear.

Probably the best fitting bra I have ever owned.

Narrow wires, deep cups, immediate projection, low and narrow gore, room for center fullness....basically everything I want in a bra, other than a band with 3 hooks.

I'm really surprised at how little the ruffled edging shows through clothes, and at how comfortable this bra is overall.

This bra seems to fit in an acceptable manner right after I put it on. Right after that though it slides down my body and I get an impressive amount of overspill. The cups are very shallow at the base, and it seems to be a cup size smaller than my other EM bras (all are CH/CHP/HP cuts). The cups themselves are made of a stable thin foam, and the bra feels well made. I wish it was more compatible with my shape and/or came in larger sizes.

This is a great everyday bra. It gives a nice shape and is confortable. It's pretty full coverage on me, but I don't feel like I'm drowning in bra like in an actual full coverage bra. I love the hot pink and ribbon details, it's a good balance between pretty and functional.

Only a couple minor complaints, the first being that the wires at the center gore dug in a bit at the top due to my really close set breasts, but the underwire channel is just over 1cm longer than the wire itself so I just slid it all the way into the underarm and sewed a seam in the center so it can't slide back; and that the straps are so wide, it seems they could be just slightly thinner.

I love this cut and really wish it came in a 28GG. Other than the band being enormous on me, this bra fits perfectly. (I'll alter it to fit, it would just be nice not to have to.)

The pattern is cute, and the three-part cup gives a nice rounded shape.

Only minor complaint, is that the patterned mesh layer seems a little bigger than the foam layer, so it doesn't lay completely flat, even though the cups are filled correctly. (It would be noticeable through a very tight t-shirt, but doesn't show through regular t-shirts.)
