First: Bratabase says this bra doesn't fit - the band is a bit too tight.
I've been wearing this bra with an extender for the first few times. And now it does fit, so it stretched out a bit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> But I think next time I will order a 30D.

Well, what to say to this beauty?
I'm in love with the Tease Me design. It's chique, sexy, reminds me of burlesque dance but really beautiful.

I've always wanted the purple Tease Me and now brastop had it on sale for 10pounds only. My big chance.

I don't regret it, the bra provides a really nice ... shape. I think this bra looks best when the cups are rather tight. Not too tight https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
Then it does push without squeezing. I like.
The braids at the cups can be seen a bit through a shirt, so if you don't like this, maybe cut them off or order another bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

I don't mind, so I will keep the braids. So sweet, with the satin ribbon details!

The wires tend to poke a bit in the sternum and on the ribcage. It was worse the first few times I've worn it, but now it's a lot better.
But if you are really sensitive, maybe this bra isn't your best choice.

Note:
Fellow bra bloggers and bra communities have found out that with Curvy Kate you often have to go up one cup in bigger cup sizes!

(In my sizing range this doesn't apply.)

EDIT:

I tried on this bra in the colour pink/black from 2011 and it was overall to small for me. I would definitely need a 28E or 30DD with this colour.
So the sizing seems to vary with the different collections!

The cups were didn't go up as high as the purple ones and the cups were overall smaller and more shallow.
One word: nipplegate.

This beautiful non-padded Halfcup is an OnlyHer (www.onlyher.eu; www.onlyher.pl) exclusive model made by Ewa Michalak/Effuniak.

Note: Ewa Michalak has a spezific sizing chart, please always have a look at their Sizing Help (ewamichalak.pl) before ordering Ewa bras!


I am simply IN LOVE with the Ewa Halfcups.
The cut of Bialy Motyl (which means "white butterfly") is similar to the other unpadded halfcups ("halfek") and I think if your measurements place you between two sizes, you can choose the smaller cup.

This bra looks best when it's tight. (not too small, but tight.)

The wires are wide and comfortable, the fabric beautiful. It's a sheer lace cup, but you can't look right through. But it does look very sexy indeed https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

The Ewa Halfcups provide an incredibly nice shape for an unpadded halfcup: Very round but still natural.

Con: It's very low cut, so from time to time your areolas might flash.
But I guess it's _because_ it's this low cut, it can form this nice shape.

Although normally I'm a 30D I ordered this bra in 32C because it wasn't available in 30D. Best thing that could have happened, the bands run very tight! (You may also have a look at my other BouxAvenue "Greta" in 30D Review)

This bra is even softer than Greta. It's lightly padded and provides a great round shape.

The band didn't stretch out and the wires aren't poking anywhere.

As I already mentioned with the "Greta" bra, the bras are perfect for us who need broad wires and a little side support to bring the girls to the center!


The only Con:
But this halfcup is really "half" - the areolas tend to have a sneak peek once in a while.

I ordered this bra in the colour "wine" and it's a real beauty.

It does fit, but I'm not happy with the shape it gives me.
Especially compared to the Tease Me bra by CK!

The cups are very flat and although I need very flat cups, too much for me.

Nice colour, nice quality, but this bra just isn't right for me.


Attention: I experienced that the CK Showgirl Models vary from season to season, maybe another colour from another collection might actually fit better. I won't give up on this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

This bra feels like heaven. I just ordered the same model in another colour (black, the models name is "espresso") because I'm really stunned.

You might compare the shape it gives me with the Freya Deco or Masqerade Capella, but it's so much softer and more flexible and oh so so cozy!
It's extremely comfortable, the material is very soft on your skin.

The wires are wide enough for me and I think this bra works best for women who need wide but not very deep cups.

This is the first bra that onlyher produced on its own (used to be an onlineshop only) and it's definitely very promising.

Con: I didn't know that Boux Avenue makes very tight bands, at least the few I own until now are very tight.
So this is actually too tight for me, although I'm normally wearing 30 and 28 backs.
I'm wearing this bra with an enhancement thingy.
With BouxAvenue 32 backs work a lot better for me.


BUT: Nevertheless this bra deserves praise.
It's beautiful, the fabric is incredibly soft and delicate and it looks gorgeous.
The wires don't poke and it looks great on smaller breasts.
If you don't need very deep but wide cups, this bra might be perfect for you.

The side support provides a beautiful round shape.

I love it in spite of having to wear it with this enhancement thingy! (sry, English isn't my first language and I can't find the right term https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> )

I tried this bra on in a couple of sizes and colours (weight loss/gain etc) (30D, 30DD and 28DD) and it was always a pleasure https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

It's a very nice and comfy everyday bra. The fabric is smooth and soft.

I wouldn't wear it to go out in the evening because there are other bras that add a bit more "wawawoom" to your outfit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> but I really like this one for work.
The wires don't poke, the shape is nice (not superb, but nice), the quality is really good and neither does the fabric wash-out nor did the band stretch a lot.

So: Great everyday bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This bra would fit me better in 65D, the cups were a bit too small for me (and the wires not wide enough)

Nevertheless it's the best strapless bra I've tried on so far.


Pro:

The shape it gives is very nice, you can vary the form a bit if you adjust the back: Pulling the band a bit down in the back makes the cups go more to your body, pulling it a bit up the cups are leaning more towards the world https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

It forms a nice round shape and stays where you put it the WHOLE night. Incredible.



Con:

Unfortunately, there are some Cons ... to.
First: The Cups are made of some foamy material - and there is no lining. So you've got this icky plastic stuff right on you skin.
That's kind of disgusting. It gets sticky and you start sweating immediately.

Second: The outer fabric (tulle with some dots) is not very resistant, I've got some runs after wearing it just a couple of times.


The center gore is really low (great!) but unfortunately it does poke in your sternum. Maybe this would be better if I went up one band.


So, this is a really hard bra to review. If it fits it looks great, it stays put and everything, but the foamy plastic really is a no-go https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Note:
Fräulein Annie works with the +4 method.
But when I say works, I mean it really works https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
I wear 30 and 28 bands, measured underbust is 28 and this 32 band fits perfectly.

I love it.
It's so beautiful, extremely comfortable and just this touch of luxury you need.

This model comes as an unpadded bra in D+ sizes.

The padding with two vertical seams is thin but gives great support and gives a nice uplift.
I love the nice details, as the cute seams on the cup or the perfect matching different fabrics inside (cotton lining, powernet underneath the centergore, bands...)

The lace is a bit stretchy and kind of "hugs" your breasts. Love it!

The band:

Tight and firm.
I wear it with an extender (Underbust measurement very tight 68cm), you can purchase the matching extender in the SugarShape shop. It's very comfortable with the extender. I had to choose the 65 band because 70/82,5 isn't available. But I don't care, the extender doesn't bother me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Some pictures show that the band on the black Dolce Vita produces some weird drapes, but it doesn't do so on me. I don't know whether it's the style (laceprint) or whether it's me though https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

The band is in the small sizes too very broad and ... reaches up very high under your arms. It's not uncomfortable but I wanted to note it. But it's perfect to not cut in your back! So great!

Fabric: Dream come true!

The cups are cotton lined, so they are really comfortable on your skin. The outer fabric is soft and smooth, the lace is a really great print. It does look even nicer in real life. You can't see the lace through a shirt.

Straps:

Are rather wide, 20mm, even in the smaller sizes. It looked very strange to me at first, but they are really comfortable, I was very surprised!
And once worn they don't look enormous anymore, even on a small bra.
I hope there will be smaller straps on future styles (and the SugarShape Sisters normally listen to their customers https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> ) though, so you can wear the bra with a top with thin straps. This is definitely not a summer bra for me, because I always wear tops with thinner straps https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

Shape:

Somehow different than most british bras I tried. If it's slightly too big the shape is a tiny bit pointy. You could compare it to the shape in Konrdas bras, but with a much better support and moooore push up. But really nice I think. wa-wa-woom!
If you insert the pads than it's really wa-wa-woom deluxe - it would be too much for me for a daily wear bra. Maybe for special occasions.

Support:

Very nice support due to the broad band. The cups are perfect for me and I could even wear it without straps (no, they are not removable)

Bra Charm:

I chose the cute key and I like it! It's not very prominent on the laceprint, but looks great on the black bra. Since I need a very small bra size the size of the charm is really sufficient, I guess it could look a bit tiny in bigger sizes.

Conclusion:

The surprise of this year so far in my sizing range! Honestly I didn't think this bra would look this great on smaller breasts!
