Underwired bra with teal fishnet net cups (double layered in the bottom of cup) and black velvet trim at band, around the cups, and front half of straps. Small velvet bow at the gore. High apex cups connect to straps in a triangle at the shoulder. Straps are half-adjustable and feel nicely firm due to the velvet. Deep U-shaped back with three hook and eyes. Plush black channeling continues the design on the inside of the bra.

Gives a soft, natural, encapsulated lift, not for those who prefer globes! As usual for Claudette this bra is definitely on the narrow side, but not as narrow as the ... Polish brands. All materials are very soft and comfortable. This band is a smidge firmer than Claudette Dessous Mesh Underwire Bra (CD2000), but I would still recommend sizing down. So far I have found both Sophias - Claudette Sophia Icon Padded Bra (101001), Claudette Sophia Minx Sweetheart Demi Bra (101025), and the Claudette Cool Cotton Underwire Bra (CD8008) to be sufficiently firm for my regular band size.

I will be actively looking for more bras in a similar cut to this one, because I greatly prefer it to the silhouette currently in fashion - sort of the fuller busted equivalent to the more unstructured trend going in the indie/designer scene right now. I've seen some promising previews and am keeping my eye out for new colors of this one.

Teal/black colorway

Updated on Sep 03, 2015 Flag this

Took a stab at the size ordering from Outnet.com. Everything about these materials is wonderful to the touch, and wonderful on. Fit is not perfect, though, as the gore doesn't tack. Despite that, I have plenty of room in the underwire and the cups lay flat. Wire is shorter under the arm than I'm used to, like my Claudette Dessous Mesh Underwire Bra (CD2000). If I get a chance, I would definitely want to check the next cup size up. Bra adjusts only halfway through the strap. It has four sets of hooks along the band, so plenty of room for adjustment. Nice wide band only has two hooks per set for some reason. The lacy details are gorgeous in person, much more subtle than the pictures online. Worth taking the chance I think, happy as of the first day.

I remembered I loved this bra, but I forgot how MUCH I love this bra. I had a wonderful lilac on purple that was eaten by the same dog rubbing her head against my legs as I take pictures of this one. She was a nervous new puppy then, but I still don't leave any lacy things where she can get to them! This is the brand new color that just came in to my local store, a kind of mysterious blue/purple that shifts depending on the light. The detailing on this is great, from the bottom of the band to the wings all in lacy patterns. Its ... not surprising how this model sticks around! In this colorway the contract color is a silvery lurex. The fit is soft and light once you pull yourself into the stretchy stretchy cups and totally perfect for my evenly full breasts, although, yes, I probably should have done a 36. I know the 36DDD definitely does not fit, though, unlike the Wacoal Retro Chic Full Figure Underwire Bra (855186) and the Wacoal Spot On Underwire Bra (855185) the cups are too tight (having previously tried it). So I would have to try a G. Next color!

Blue Lurex colorway

Good fit and great shape as always with this bra. One cup down from my 36 band cup in other Wacoal styles (G). I did not fill the G when I tried to in store and had a wrinkle across the middle seam.

I had a 38DD when I was larger that I wore to death. Definitely will be buying more/more colors in the future.

This material feels lusciously soft and the mauve color is so lovely. The little button details at the gore and waistband of the panties are adorable. I love the shape of this cut on my body. The band is much firmer than Claudette Dessous Mesh Underwire Bra (CD2000), so no need to size down from my usual. If the Claudette Sophia Minx Sweetheart Demi Bra (101025) is the same cut as this (which it looks like) I will definitely have to get my hands on one!

Mauve colorway

Very comfortable fabric with lovely lace, stripes and ruching on the side. Not much support from the material, a soft lift. Good fit on band and gore. Straps are made of a satiny material which slips a bit on my wide shoulders. Love this bra.

White colorway

Definitely the most cleavage-y bra I own. Love the styling. I don't normally do padded cups but like this one. There is a little bit of wrinkling in the satiny fabric as the bra ages but it still looks quite nice. I have wide shoulders so wide set straps make me happy. I do dislike the bows where the straps connect, they can be a bit irritating. Will be time to size down in the band when this one gives up on me, but I would happily buy again.

Peach colorway

This poor thing is old and badly cared for. Last survivor of my first round of buying after getting properly fitted. I remember it having a nice typical balcony effect on the cleavage, and it's held up pretty well for the abuse it suffered. Fabric around the underwire has a tendency to roll and there are some snags in the embroidery, so it's time to retire it I think.

Fits almost exactly like my Parfait By Affinitas Odette Wire Bra (5302) . A little more room in the cup, so slight wrinkling on the center seam but the cups lay flat and its certainly not enough to go down a cup. The pattern is gorgeous and extends up the straps and top of the back band.

Bought this as a stopgap when my Anita died. Was solidly a 38 at the time, but went with 36 for tightness on the stretchy band. So the cups were wrong sized to start with, and the shape is flattened out to the sides. Also, the straps don't tighten well enough and turn in their fasteners in the back while putting the bra on. The material is nice, design is decent, and the padded cups are removable, but this doesn't come in a workable size for me.
