My other Alice was so comfortable that when I saw the other colorway on a sale site I jumped on it. The straps are very comfortable despite being a little widely set, due to the soft satiny fabric. The band is a little snug but I know it will stretch well like the other, and once again the soft satin makes it feel alright. The lace on the cups is delicate enough that it can't be seen except under very thin shirts, so i can use these as t-shirt bras. They give me a very nice rounded and uplifted shape that I really like. Often the gore on bras starts to bother me after a day of wear, but these do not since the gore is low and also soft and silky. These are my favorite bras.

There's a fair bit of wrinkling on the sides and across the front of the cup, but this is still a great fit for me for an unlined bra. The tops of the cups are a bit loose/baggy, but the seams hit me in just the right spots to conceal my nipple - a first for me in an unlined bra. I get a much better shape from the side, too, less ski-jump and more round with some actual fullness on top - I had no idea a size bigger would do that for me! It even looks nice under a snug t-shirt.

Nice and light! Unfortunately, it runs a cup size small, I guess. The gore is far from tacking and the cups cut in at the top edge - though only a tiny bit (unless I push the gore against my sternum, then there is a lot of quadding). For a 3 part cup, the see through top lace portion actually starts just over my nipple for once (usually it's just under or on) - which may be due to the cup being too small unfortunately. It's quite comfortable, light, and pretty. The band is pretty stretchy.

This fit me even more weirdly than the 28DD - Freya » Marvel Side Panel Bra (1501) . The bottom of the cups are filled, the gore tacks and feels really comfortable, the band is perfect, the straps feel comfortable on my shoulders. Even the top edge of the cups mostly works - although it still kind of seems like it's too long somehow. The side support panels seem like they push my breasts into the center more and I get great cleavage. The wings seem like they're too short or the wires there don't reach high enough, or the lack of enough room in the ... bottom of the cups pushes me out to the sides as well. Any way I put it, the outer sides of these cups don't work for me. The straps are as short as is comfortable and allows my breasts to still be properly in the cups, but the outer edges gape like the straps are too long.
Also, the wires are short in these and don't fill the entire channels, so there's a gap either in the center with the gore or on the outer edge, depending on where you push the wire. It might work better if the wire reached both edges of the channel all the way, or even more closely! It's at least a cm short, if not more.
I love the look and shape of this bra, I wish it would work on me.

A lot less wrinkling than I saw with the Lucy, very little in fact. The cups are filled well at the bottom and the lace at the top edge doesn't wrinkle, unless I stop pulling my shoulders back and relax my posture, in which case it gapes out along the top. It might run a bit high on me, as my nipples hit well in the bottom opaque portion of the cup instead where the seams meet. This bra is close but I just don't love it, even though it's adorable with that little button at the gore. The pink is a great shade, too, not baby pink but not hot pink either.

Very comfortable and gives me a nice rounded shape from the side. I think the cup is too small, but I'm having a hard time telling due to the thickness of the padding/lining. It isn't padded like a push-up, but the opaque part of the cup has a thick padding that feels kind of like memory foam. The top definitely cuts in to my breast, though the lace provides some camouflage. I can't tell if I'm filling out the bottom part of the cup completely, though it definitely looks more projected than my breasts normally do on their own. It also makes my breasts look even taller than they already are.
This bra does feel and look very nice, albeit in that Victoria's Secret big boobs pushing out of a bra way. The fabric is very soft and silky, and the padded front straps are very comfy too.

The cups of this bra in 30DD fit me more fully than they do in the 30D. The band is much firmer and snugger, too, really showing the age of my other two! Unfortunately, the cups are wider in the 30DD than the 30D. I find the straps slightly too wide in the front, too, and they rub my shoulders a little bit. I wish the cups could just get deeper without everything else changing. The extra wideness gives me a more east-west look that I don't love, but the comfort level is still high enough that this bra will join my prior two Feathers as my most worn bras.

The shape is nice and rounded, and the fabric is soft, comfortable, and light. The straps are almost too short - a first for me! The bottom of the cup is filled and there's no wrinkling, but the top edge cuts in giving me quad-boob. I'd be interested in trying one cup size up, but this is so close to fitting that I suspect one size up would be too big.
The details are very cute - I love the little button on the bow at the gore.

Edit 2/14: Alright, I tried it on with an extender and the straps were pulled even farther to the sides, so it's a no go. I'm very disappointed, because I like the shape and depth of the cups when I add the extender the cups fit well since they aren't pulled to my chest quite so hard. I'd say it runs at least one band and cup size small, and as I mentioned the straps are way wide set.

Original review: I was sad to discover this bra runs small - my other 28DD's fit perfectly and are just beginning to stretch out enough to move to the second ... hook after more than 6 months - this one is way too tight and when buckled (my husband had to do it with my arms down and breath out) it pulled the cups into my chest so tightly it both minimized and quad-boobed me. I think with an extender it might work alright and it will give it time to stretch out - maybe it just means I'll get to keep this bra even longer than normal? But I sure wish I'd known it ran small so I could've ordered a 30DD. Despite being obscenely tight in the band, it wasn't that uncomfortable. The band is very wide especially around the back, so it distributed force really well and it didn't feel as tight as it looked (I'm pretty skinny but my skin bulged around it in a very unfortunate manner). The band is very solid mesh with little stretch.
The cups seemed nicely lightly padded enough to provide coverage and nice shape.

This bra is nice, I don't have strong feelings one way or another. The embroidery on the cups stops it from being a t-shirt bra, though I figured that would be the case when ordering. The straps are nice and thin, and the band is similarly delicate, which I appreciate. The color is more periwinkle than cobalt blue, but that's okay, too. There's thin boning in the wings. The band doesn't have lace at the bottom, which is great for those of us who slouch a lot (me) and have under-band decoration fold up every time. The straps are a little widely set, and I think they'll be sliding off my shoulders more than usual.
This bra is nice, but nothing to write home about. Better quality than Target or other discount stores, but I wouldn't expect it to hold up to heavy wear.
