It's a really pretty bra, but I don't think that the cups go high enough, as sometimes things slip. The fabric is great, and feels great quality.

One thing's for sure -- this bra is gorgeous. When I first saw it at the store, I thought that the print might be a little too much for me, since I had never tried a patterned bra before. When I tried it on? Wow. I was in love with the print. So in love that I decided to make it work for me, even though it was a little snug on my ribcage.
The fit is decent enough for me. I do feel that the band is a little snug for a 32; I can snap it, but it feels very, very tight. At the same time though, ... I think that if I would've went up to a 34 band, it would've been too loose. For now, I'm using a bra extender to make the bra more comfortable, and I think that it will fit fine once the band stretches out a little. It should be noted that up until I purchased this bra, I was buying 36c or d bras, so I was used to a much looser band. This might be why the band feels a little tight to me. I have heard from others that Boux Avenue bras run small in the band, however.
In regards to the cups? They do fit me okay. This was the size that the bra fitter at the Glasgow Boux Avenue said was the perfect for me. They're comfortable, and I do feel supported in them. I felt amazing in this bra in the store and the first time I wore it, but since then I've begun to feel like I might've benefited from an FF instead. Unfortunately, though, this bra is only made in B to F cups. That's fine, though; the 32F works okay for me; I just sometimes have to adjust how my breasts sit in the cups. So, it's not a perfect for me, but I'm still quite happy with it.
Pros --
--The bra is gorgeous.
--It's decent quality.
--It doesn't seem to stretch out quickly.
--It gives the girls a nice lift, and provides me with nice cleavage.
--It makes me feel sexy.
--It makes me feel supported.
Cons --
--The straps can't be fully adjusted, and this might be an issue for some women (though it wasn't for me).
--The cups are quite close together. Again, this isn't a problem for me, but it might be for others.
--The bra band occasionally itches on the center front portion if I have the bra on too tight. This is fixed by using a bra extender.
--The bra band seems to be sized a bit small for a 32.
