I really want to love this bra. The detailing on it is so beautiful, and despite the wrinkle in the cup, it give a nice appearance under shirts. The band is very firm and feels quite supportive.

The underwires are not friendly to my sternum, and stab in at the gore. An hour of wearing this bra yesterday left my sternum red, irritated and feeling bruised even still today. I do really like that the underwires encapsulates all of my breast tissue, rather than stopping short at the armpit like Freyas do.

The cup wrinkles just slightly at the top, at the sheer panel between the lace and the bottom part of the cup. If I fold that section into the cup, so that the lace meets the solid part of the cup, the fit is perfect. So I would say this cup is just a tiny bit too big. I wonder if bending the underwires would help the fit at the sternum?

I don't know what's going on with this bra. The gore is too wide for me, and I think the cup is too small. The top part of the lace always wants to flip down, but my nipples are barely in this bra at all. Despite what others have recommended for me, this is not a good fit.

The gore of this bra really hurts! It digs in very painfully. The ribbon trim at the top of the cup makes it so it cuts in there, but the sheer mesh section below it is not filled. I think the 28DD in this same bra has a much better fit, despite the same issue with the gore.

Very pretty bra, though. Just not the right size for me

I love this bra. It's so comfortable and the little tassels at the gore are hilarious to me. The bra itself is lightly lined, and gives a great shape. The seams, despite expectation, do not show through shirts very much. The band on this one is just too big, but the cups are a great fit, and this color works well enough as a nude on my pale skin.

This bra is not a perfect fit, but it's so cute that I wear it anyway. The underwires are about 1" shorter than the channel they are in, which causes that extra little bit of fabric at the armpit side of the wire channel to want to flip downwards. Not sure why. I also get a wee bit of wrinkling at the bottom of the cup. The bird print is cute, and the bra give a nice, rounded shape. This is also the first soft-cup bra I've had where my nipples line up with the seams, rather than poking out somewhere they're not supposed to be. The band seems a little too stretchy... thinking about taking it in.

I normally would not buy a 32 band, but I got this bra for $9.00 at the Clear the Rack sale. It is very comfortable, but the band is definitely too large, and I will be taking it in for a better fit. The small amount of push-up padding makes my boobs look great, but will not make it an everyday bra, for the health of my boobs. Good smooth line for under T-shirts and the J-hook at the back for attaching the straps is kind of nifty.

It is a pretty comfortable bra but I think the fit is better when the removable padding is out of the bra rather than in it-- the padding does little for "push up" effect. The underwires seem a little narrow but the fit otherwise is pretty good. Have just bought it but the band seems firm so far. Bought this one on clearance at Macys for $18 in a fit of desperation... My 30C's had my nipples nearly popping out of the tops!

The lace overlay is cute, brings a basic bra a little bit of fun that shouldn't show through my tops.

What a cute longline! The band and gore need taking in, but after that, it will be a great fit. Very soft and comfortable.

This bra is a great basic. I took a gamble on it, not knowing really if it would fit or not, especially with this being my first bra in a 28E. I have to say, it fits wonderfully! The wires are the closest I've gotten to a perfect width yet, and come up plenty high under the arms. No cleavage, thanks to the shape of the cups, but even without being a molded cup, I think this will be a good option as a t-shirt bra in the summertime - It gives a nice, rounded-natural shape under clothing and is very comfortable. I was a little apprehensive about the band only having one row of hooks, but it feels quite secure, even on the loosest hooks.

This bra is very different from all the others I've tried so far. It was transferred to me from curlewgirl (thanks so much!) and comes from braologie. I am doing the review with the included pads inside the bra, but not using the included extender.

The pros: This bra looks really nice on. I like the lace and I love that I get cleavage! This is the only bra I've tried that has given me any so far, but all my other bras are balconettes, which may make the difference-- this one is more of a plunge-type. The wide band feels very secure around ... the sides and on the back, without squeezing me too much. Even though the band is too large for me, it does not slide around with movement and is quite comfortable. It seems very well-made and gives a great shape under clothes.

The cons: This is just a lot of bra. The underwires come up too high in the armpits, and the wings come all the way up into the fold of my armpit when I wear it. It's a bit stabby there and is the main factor in me not wanting to keep the bra. The cups also come up pretty high on my torso, and show underneath a normal tank. I have to adjust the straps almost to their fullest to get them to sit right, which causes the little adjusters to sit right on top of my shoulders. The band stretches to two full inches larger than the 28" it is supposed to be. It seems as though braologie prefers a wider but looser band to give support. I think all of the cons (except the last) are caused by the fact that this bra was made to fit someone else's measurements. curlewgirl's breasts might just sit lower on her torso than mine, which if they do, would be the reason for all my gripes with the fit. I imagine one made for my body would fit me better.

The bottom line: I think this is a nice and well-made bra. It is comfortable, gives a wonderful shape and makes my boobs look good. However, it does not quite work for me, so I'll be passing it on to someone else in the community. Overall I am impressed with the bra and am considering ordering my own based on my measurements.
