TThis shape is much more compatible with my boobs than the PL's are. Though it is too small for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I think the band runs a bit loose.
This gives the nice, uplifted, narrow shape and firm support as the CH's.
The bra is way more beautiful in real life - I hadn't seen the sheer lace at the wing on the site, so it was a nice surprise. The lace is slightly more orange than the cup, and it all looks very nice.
The inside of the cups are pink, and the outside is soft shiny peach colored. I had thought I could use this as a 'nude-ish' bra (for opaque white tops and not completely opaque colored shirts), but it really is too bright for that (for my skin tone at least, which tends to have golden undertones, rather than pink)

Not good for full-on-bottom boobs. You can even see it, when you look at the bra when not wearing it, that it is significantly flatter near the bottom - it was even difficult to push out with my hand. Thus, my full-on-bottom boobs can in no way get near the bottom of the bra, so though everywhere else it was pretty nice, it was sitting too low, and would certainly keep being pushed down. So this may be good for those who are full on top!

I'm going mad over this bra. I think I'll just drop it. This is the 3rd one I've tried, in the same size, but different color, as the first one which fit, but this is too small! Black lace is tighter than the pink lace, I guess https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Maybe I will get it in 34JJ, but that's a lot of attempts for a bra that doesn't even give me my prefered shape... Sucks to have to keep giving certain bras just because they "aren't bad". I want GREAT bras!

The shaping of my waist is much better in this size, as expected. However, as you can also see, the tighter back distorts the wire a bit, making the cup quadro-boob a bit + be even more east/west than it already is (and it's not exactly a cleavage bra as it is), so I will go back to the 34 backed one, and then maybe just hook it tighter at the waist.

Really really impressed with this! Expected it to not hold up at all, but it sure did! Why have people not thought of boned cups before? I want to put bones in all my unlifting bras (=all of them) now! It amazing https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> And the firm, wide band was also excellent for holding up the weight. A nice detail is that for the straps, there are 2 places you can hook it on at the front - so both those that prefer wider or closer set straps can be comfy https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Annd, the non-slip rubber is ... at both the top and bottom of the band, and all along the bottom of the cups.

Now, to the bads: I wish the wires were a lot higher, so it could keep in my tissue: Usually tightening straps can make the wire sit firmer in the side, holding in tissue, so when wearing this as a strapless, tissue escaped - especially because it was too small in the cup. The top section closes in, and gives the most 'elf-shoed' boob I've ever seen. Overall, very minimizing! My boobs looked tiny!

If I needed it, I would proably reorder it in 36J to get a bigger cup, and then I could just wear it on the 2nd hook. But for now, it has satisfied my curiosity.

I measured the gore height from the bottom of the cups.
Measureing from gore to bottom is 33cm/13"
Measuring from the bottom of the cups to the garter-straps is 23cm/9"
The same for the wing, I measured from bottom of cups. For top to bottom is 26.5cm/10.5"

As you can see per measurements, it is very loose in the band! I was worried it would fit over my very large bottom half, I even considered getting it in 36 (I am between 32 and 34) but a) it is so big enough to accomodate even large body, and b) it is so short! It doesn't even reach my belly button, so forget ... about the hips. I am 5'8", with long-ish torso and high-set boobs, so I guess there is further from my boobs to my belly button than for most people, but still, definitely not a long piece!

Cups are true to size though. It was a pinch small on my larger boob, but that is likely due to my cycle, so I think it will be a perfect fit any other day.

Straps are actually fully adjustable, as they easily slide over the decorated bit.

The garter-straps can be taken off.

Will exchange to 32JJ. Though the price is steep, this is just too lovely to pass up. I would have kept it just for the bra part, but when it doubles to shape wear / sexy bedroom wear? Yes please!

This is my favorite bra, despite being too small in the cup.
The lace, which makes this balconette bra into more of a full-coverage, is not part of the cup per se (as in, no structure or shape there), but it helps to hold in some of the quadro-boob/nipple slip that I have going on in this one...
As you can see on the pic, it is, like most of the "Bodique" bras from Hunkemöller, very structered, and excellent for full-in-the-middle breasts! (As with all other Bodique bras, the straps are quite far apart in the front - pulling in from the sides, but maybe not so good for narrow shoulders)
I have had this bra since for more than a year, wearing it as often as possible, and though the band has definitely gotten bigger, and the lace and straps are looser than before, it still holds it shape quite nicely! Highly recommend this bra, even though it is too small for me.

Very very pretty bra!! And matches my skin tone very well.
But very very snug in the band! I've taken 2" off my 34K Cappuccino and it's not really snug still, so I thought 32 was a good way to go for my next order - too tight! I can close it and everything, but it is too tight, it cuts in with all the seams. I will wear it with an extender until it stretches https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Because it was so tight (I am not at home now, so I haven't tried it with extention), it was difficult to adjust my tissue in the ... cups, so it seems a bit large, but that's no surprise, the 34K also seemed to big at times (though too small at others, hence why I've sized up)
The straps are further apart (I guess due to the larger cup size), and are also much wider than on the Cappuccino, which does give a bit problems (they are pushed by my arms, and thus twist), but I think when I get used to wearing it, and add the extender, it will work out still.
The gore didn't tack any firmer than it did on the Cappuccini, which I had hoped, so I guess that is just how it is. Looking forward to the S-shape, then!

The band is quite snug, but that may be because it is a too small full-cup: Not much chance of overflowing in the cup, so it pulls the band tighter instead.
It is very flat in the middle, and point the breasts out to the sides and downwards and is pointy! Not a good look!!
Also, the cup is stretchy, so it basically does nothing to shape. I have really wasted my money on this one https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Was so happy that a physical store in Denmark now had a K-cup that I bought it despite the poor fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Tried it in pink and slate in 34J. It fit alright, but the lace was a little loose, and I reasoned that it would get a rounder shape in a size smaller.
This time I got it this black and green. And I must say, I think it is very true that black fabrics are smaller, due to dye process! This is definitely too small in the black lace! So will exchange it to a 34J in this color (no more confusions!)
