This bra is 75% a good bra. The cups are the right shape and size for my broad root breasts.

This bra does not work for me at all. My breasts are too wide to fill the bottom of the cup so there is unfilled space. Some of my breast tissue spills out of the sides. It's a shame, because this bra is very cute.

This bra is very pretty. The material feels soft and comfortable (the lace isn't scratchy at all) but snags very easily. The lace trim on the cups is somewhat tighter than the cup itself, so it causes a little quad-boob along the top even though the cup itself fits. The bra has a hook to turn the straps into a racer back, which is a nice detail.

I love the stretchy band!! It's really comfortable too. Although it fits really well, I'm not sure if it's the perfect fit for me. I just posted about the 30D - Natori » Feathers Contour Plunge (730023) . So in the 30D the right cup gets a little wrinkle in the lace, and in this bra, the left cup get a little wrinkle in the lace which I'm guessing is a normal issue as one will always be bigger than the other. Other than that it seems to fit comfortable.

I think that without the lace on the cup, this would be perfect. The wrinkle in the ... left cup is somewhat visible underneath my clothes in a tight fitting shirt, but otherwise looks fine. The gore is comfortably against my sternum too. And like the Natori Feathers, even though the top of the gore is against my sternum, the bottom isn't flat against my chest - does this mean that the bra doesn't fit me correctly? Or is this because I am very small?

I fill the bottom of the cup well, though I'm wondering if the lace looks like it fits me well? Is that how it's supposed to fit?

Comfortable and a good fit!

My body is in a state of flux right now, so I bought this bra on sale in a cup size larger than my usual. It feels a little big, but I am pretty sure I normally have to buy bras that run on the smaller side of a 30B cup.

The shape I get from this bra is nice and rounded.

The worst part of this bra is the texture... I don't know if I got a defective one since it was on super sale, but the outside of the bra feels sticky, like a rubberized texture or something. It's weird and unexpected.

Not the right shape for me, but keeping for casual days since it's comfortable and inexpensive. The shape is a bit too plunge-like so I get some center spillage, and gapping at the outer edges. The shape under clothes is also a bit too low and pointed.

This bra is very comfortable and the cups do not gape. My only issue is that the band is a bit scratchy on the seams, but the longer I wear it, the less I notice.

I tried this bra as a part of True & Co's "Home Try On" (which unfortunately they no longer offer). I tried it in a 34D, which they recommended, and got a whole lot of quadboob - though the band felt great. A few months after I decided to buy it on Ebay for a pretty decent discount in a 34DD. The 34DD definitely fits better and is quite comfortable. I think this bra will be a bra that I don't wear too often though… it's cute and comfy, but definitely better for shallow boobs. Mine are more projected. The other reason I probably won't wear this bra too often is because the texture of the lines/design on the cups are noticeable under tight clothing.

UPDATE: Wore this for the first time today … the cups are WAY too shallow… and a little too "East/West" direction for me. I don't want to since it's so pretty, but it looks like I may have to sell this one.

This bra is gorgeous, but has never been quite the right fit for me. I don't fill out the top of the cup enough, and the wires poke me especially in the middle/gore area and on the bottom of the cup.

This bra is pretty fantastic as far as comfort, but with shallow breasts that are fuller on the bottom, the fit was never perfect. The lining along the top of the cup has always buckled, and I have never actually filled out the top of the cup (it's a tall, somewhat form-holding lined cup, so there weren't wrinkles--I just lived with not filling it out all the way).

The lace lining at the top of the cup doesn't stay flat under tops or dresses, and I wish I had known this prior to keeping the bra. Otherwise, it's a very comfortable bra. Not fantastic for shallow breasts, as the cup is tall and leaves a bit of room considering I don't have much tissue on the top of my breast.

This bra would work perfectly for me as a strapless bra as the straps are in my armpits and not long enough. The wires are also pretty wide (like an inch too wide) which points my boobs to the side a bit. It seems like the wires have a lot of stretch (?) there is a horrible creaking sound when I put on and adjust the bra and the band is a touch tighter then I prefer (except for strapless bras)

This bra is weirdly creaky. Amazon reviews mentioned it, and wow, yes, it is a problem. It's not as noisy when it's being worn, but any move that stretches the cup makes the creaky noise. It's far more noticeable when handling it.

This bra fits, mostly. I can't see any obvious fit issues, but something about the fit bothers me. I think it's the way that the cups just barely fit me, and how any movement basically causes gaping. I expected it to fit since I've tried similar cuts by Betsy Johnson (the retro glamor, I think), and that one fit like a dream, except for the too ... large band and too loose straps. The straps were fine on the Starlet Lace, but the band was likewise too big. I tried it on on the tightest hook straight off, and it could have been tighter.

It's a cute enough design. It's quite comfortable, though I can't speak to long-term wearing, since I put it in the return pile.

It's a good bra for wide, shallow roots. I think I was just a tad too shallow for it, though perhaps it would work better during bloat week.

This one was too big for me in almost all aspects.

- band is very stretchy and it was still loose on the loosest hook
- didn't even come close to filling the cups and they were far too wide
- the straps were really far apart

In addition, it just felt sort of flimsy and cheap. A definite no for me.

Well, it's too bad this one didn't work—it's very pretty and comfortable, though the band seems very stretchy to me and that's not my cup of tea. There's obvious orange-in-a-glass syndrome as well as a little bulging at the top of the cups. There's also the strange too-small-on-one-side thing, but as the bra is obviously not for me I'm not going to fret about it this time.

Again, too bad this is not available in, say, 28E—it's really comfy yet so pretty!

This is probably my favorite bra out of all the bras I own. It's very comfortable and I love the flirty feminine details. The band measures less than 30 but is stretchy and comfortable. The lace along the upper edge of the cup cuts in just a little bit but not enough to quad or create a weird shape. The wires fit really well and the cups give me a nice round shape.

I love this bra! Mostly because the pattern is so fun, but also because it fits well. The band is a hair on the snug side but not so much as to be uncomfortable. The seaming in the cups does show a little under a tight fitting shirt but it doesn't make the shape look strange or anything. The straps are a little wide set for me.

Almost a good fit, comfy but want to try a 30ddd or 32dd

Cups way too small. Would like to try a 30F or 32 DDD

I'm not sure what to say about this. I bought it at Burlington Coat Factory, very very cheap. It doesn't really give me the shape I like. Maybe I need fuller coverage for unlined bras?
One of my biggest issues is the middle. I read up on shallow breasts, and mine are definitely at least semi shallow. They have a downslope and then the tissue starts. I like my bras to smooth out that line because I feel like it just looks really awkward or saggy otherwise.
Anyway, I just feel like the demi shape makes them look worse. I'm normally good with demis though.
The underwire seems to be the ... same length as my Freya, but it appears longer and reaches further beyond my breast tissue. I don't know how that's possible.
I also feel like I have to rely on the straps for support.
The band seems pretty big. I don't know, it's ok but I don't think it's for me. Kind of makes me sad because I recently found a 32ddd in b
Temp'd by Wacoal, it gave me the look I was going for but I didn't have the cash.
Time to save up I guess https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" />

Good things about this bra are that it is really comfortable and the band hasn't hurt me like the 34dd o__o

Probably not for me though.
Doea anyone else with shallow breasts have these issues with unlined bras/demis? https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
