This is a lovely, lightweight, sexy-sheer bra with magic built in. The magic is how it can be so filmy - Black Mist is its name in English - and yet so supportive! Although I have now sized out of it, when it fit I was amazed at how I couldn't even feel it on yet there was perfect lift, separation, and natural (not Cleo-softball) rounding. Its all in the construction. The straps attach with a kind of fabric triangle for comfort and support, and may help create the more natural side profile. Nice and narrow, but not in an authoritarian way as others have noted. Flat seams. ... It has excellent immediate projection, but I think the apex is a little low for my even fullness, even height roots. My nipples hit above the seam unless I reverse-swoop & scoop, although the top of the cup didn't cut in, there's a little flex there, or maybe the wires are just wide enough toward the top sides. The material, as light as it is, is very firm; no stretch at all. And it looks great - elegant, sophisticated, very grown-up sexy. Its not super silky comfortable, mesh can be a little scratchy. But it breathes - I got it from a Bratabase user last fall to put away for summer and over winter I grew (#@!!*) so I never got to wear it more than a few times.. I'm going to be on the lookout for this lovely in a larger size!

Classy black with beige (taupe?) dot colorway, with beige lace trim. Very sophisticated, understated elegance. The half cups come up fairly tall on me, no 'regency cleavage' here, but still a nice full, rounded, lifted shape that works great under clothes and at work. The smooth net fabric will not catch on anything and construction is solid. The lace trim is a bit visible under tighter shirts. A good wardrobe basic and one of my go-tos! I also have this bra in 30G which seems to fit my 32F even/round shape better; perhaps the cups run small and the band large in this model?

See my review for the beige colorway - the white one is identical (except its white) (for now anyway, I am going to either paint it or dye it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />)

I love Ewa Bien. Incredible style, utterly luxurious materials, superb craftsmanship. She was an ecological biologist before she began making bras, which explains a lot. The Dire looks like dew-spangled fine cobwebs, with little seeds scattered on it. It also feels like a soft cobweb on, but with support. Its not stretchy, but not scratchy at all. The wires are medium width and low in the armpit. I bought it in a sister size because it was just so gorgeous, but sadly way to small in the cup. Would fit anyone from a 32 - 36 but probably only up to a D or DD US.

Its hard to tell in the pix, but this bra is charcoal satin, a nice switch from black. The dramatic lace overlay is highlighted with subtle royal purple along the top edge. The straps are unique - they are non-stretch satin, and widen out up to the shoulders. Its a vintage look, Masquerade's studied aesthetic. Delightful narrow wires with half-cup height on sides and gore, deep cotton-lined 3 part cups almost horizontal and open on top: here comes lift lift lift for a stunning Renaissance cleavage and round apples from the side. Gold metal fixtures add another touch of class. Band is very firm, the whole bra is pretty firm in fact, you're not slouching around here you are showing what ya got! I feel slightly naughty in this bra...
