Tried this on in a band size up only because that's what they had at the store. The band was pretty stretchy and two inches two big (I did hold it away from my back to determine the fit of the cups). I really don't like the quality of this bra or the three seamed cups. It looked pretty from far away and it did nothing for my shape. The top of the cups lay horizontal against my breasts and wrinkled and didn't mold to them when I sat down or held up my arms. The sateen fabric at the top of the cups looked and felt cheap. ... It even made noises when I moved like a cheap Halloween costume. The straps were way too big (I had to tighten them farther than they would go for a good fit) and they were still too far apart. The cups were a little too close together and dug into my breast tissue when I moved my arms. All around bad fit for me, don't think I'd have luck in a smaller size, it's a shape issue.

I tried this on in a cup size larger than I normally take because I'm still figuring out my size but this was pretty roomy in the cup. I didn't like the look of the straps stitched over the cups in a sling type shape - it made my breasts look more projected than they already are. I had to pull the straps tighter to see how it might fit with a smaller cup and it looked okay from the front but when I turned to the side, I got the pointy boob effect. Band fit pretty well though (not too tight or stretchy) and quality of the bra was great and looked very pretty (in the grey colorway).

I'm not sure about this bra. I went up a band size as the 34 was too tight. The 36 is still much too tight, but I'm hoping it'll stretch out after a few washings. There's a gap in the cups on the side and a little at the bottom so I tightened the straps (to the max - I'm really short so you may not have a problem with this) and it seemed to take care of the gap problem in the bottom. When I sit down, the side of the cup fills out but the top gapes a little bit and doesn't sit flat against my ... chest like it does when I stand. This isn't really noticeable as it's a lined/foamy cup and keeps its shape. However, because I had to tighten the straps all the way, it sits way higher on my chest than I'd like. I'm not sure which tops I can wear this with and I don't feel very sexy wearing this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_surprised.gif" alt=":o" />( I think the shape doesn't work for me. One thing I also want to note is that the lace on the bottom is scratchy to me (could be because the band is really tight right now).

This is my BEST fitting bra. I got it yesterday and only wore it once so far. I ordered it in my regular size and at first, thought the cups were too small because I'm used to full cups in unpadded (but not sheer) fabric - after checking everything twice, it definitely fits - though I'm going to get one in a cup size larger just to make 100% sure and also for that time of the month (which is, of course, now). So keep in mind, I might be a tad swollen at the time of this review https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />

I ordered this ... in candy pink on deep discount. Just FYI, I'm close set, full on top, very projected and very short (my height, that is). I was worried that this bra would be unbearably itchy but it's actually quite nice to wear when it's hot out because it's so sheer! The temp was in the 90s today and I didn't get any boob sweat. I will say though that at the end of the day, the wings of the bra started to get uncomfortable and scratchy on the sides. The band is definitely tight so I wore this with an extender. I didn't want to size up because I read that it stretches out fast.

I know everyone loves the fabric of this bra, but to me it's a con. It feels flimsy! It's insanely pretty to look at but doesn't feel very supportive. There's also a tiny bit of slack? on the sides of the bra (where my breast tissue meets my armpit on the top and sides) where I feel like the fabric could be a little firmer. I'm not sure if that's the cut of the bra or my shape? I feel like it doesn't support that area - although if it were firmer there, I might get more of a torpedo boob shape and bulging armpit fat. (I hope I'm making sense?)

Anyway, the cups fit great - no wrinkling anywhere! The gore tacks but isn't as firm as I'd like it to be - there's maybe a centimeter of give and I prefer it to be so tight it leaves marks (haha). While I was rushing around today I did feel my boobs jiggle more than I'm used to and after inspecting this bra after wearing it all day, I'm afraid the fabric just won't hold up for very long! It already looks like I've worn it a handful of times when it's only been one (albeit, busy and sweaty) day. All in all, I'm happy with this bra but will be looking for something in the same cut but in a firmer yet still stretchy fabric.
