Beautiful and sexy; this @MissMandalay London bra gives a forward, projected shape.
The band felt quite firm at first but a few weeks in is more forgiving. Normally I'm a 32 band, so I was surprised to find the 30 band fit better - but then, I normally take a 32F, and this is a 30G.
One downside, the lace is already stretching more than I'd like it to be, thought for the price it might hold a bit more firmly.

Extremely comfortable, stretchy but still supportive! Not like, firm-and-in-your-face supportive, but still good at getting the boobs out from under the arms and into a rounded front projection kind of situation. I like the vertical seams. Possible downside: Because the fabric's stretchy, I'm not so sure about the longevity, but we'll see.

Got it on sale at Century 21! Good encapsulation without being a massive full coverage bra with lots of fabric (I don't tend to like those.) The mesh top is fairly forgiving - my right boob is a bit larger, but I can accommodate this by adjusting the straps. It gives good lift and while somewhat rounded, still a projected shape. I'm always trying to get my boobs to come out from hiding under my arms, so it does the job with that. After a full day of wear, I'm glad to take it off, despite the good fit though - the wire is quite firm.

I never ended up wearing this because it's stiff and not comfortable. It looked fabulous at the store, but maybe I should have gone up a band size? It has great lift, it's pretty - has that burlesque-ish aesthetic going for it what with the red satin. Alas.

Good things:
- reasonably comfortable, and pretty.
- The lace is soft.
Not great:
- Lace scallops: I'm squishy around the midsection these days, and will note that the lace scallops around the band tend to roll up - not my fave feature.
- Stretches: I've had the bra for over a year, and it has stretched out noticeably. (I only hand-wash fwiw).
Also consider:
- Not smooth under thin fabrics
- Not going to hide your nipples, if you're concerned about "high beams," this is an issue

The bra is super comfy. It gives great cleavage if you do the whole swoop + scoop thing. It's great for low-cut tops, and also works as a "t-shirt bra," appearing smooth under thing fabrics.
But, be warned, the lace band, though beautiful, is very stretchy, and stretches out quickly.
