    A balconette bra by Bravissimo, the Alana is in bigger cup sizes quite full coverage. The bra is a good construction that supports and lifts boobs very well.
    I had a few of those over the years, it was not my favorite bra, but it did it's job well.
    The straps were a bit too seperated and the cups a bit too wide at the sides, but I have that with every bra. I also found the shape under a t-shirt to be good from the side, very round but a bit too east-west from the front. I recommend sizing up 1-2 cup sizes in this expecially if you have full - on - top boobs.

    Easily one of my favorite bras. It's easy to see why this bra returns to Bravissimo's lineup again and again. Shape is lovely and lifted and the bra is perfectly comfortable. Really fantastic, especially for an unlined bra. The color is rich and the straps adjust the full length and stay put where you need them.

    I'm happy with this bra as it is the first I have that fits me properly.
    The fabric is comfortable and the range of colours available is great.
    I find the wing height maybe a little too high as it can start to rub the skin near my armpit after prolonged wear.
    The back band is lovely and wide and gives great support, as are the wide straps.

    The band is stretchy! The cups fit perfect though and I feel supported despite the band and this bra's small and delicate appearance. The appearance is really cute and unobtrusive.

    When I first put these on I have slight quadboob and slight wrinkling in the bottom of the cup but it settles into place and fits really well.
    I do find the straps tend to crease and on my nude one they fold in half. Even still this is a decent bra and gives a reasonably natural shape, more east-west than Cleo Marcie but far less than Elomi plunges.

    There's a lot of good about this bra, even if it doesn't really work for me. For starters, the 32 is really too tight for size. I use an extender. (I do love the support of the 3 hooks and eyes though!). It's a beautiful light shade of pink (not beige - so don't think you'll be easily able to match the undies with something from another brand. Had to go back and purchase undies afterwards. For deep breasts that aren't full at the centre, this would probably be great. But the gore doesn't tack - even though the bra fits (unusual situation, I realize). It's very supportive and gives great shape. Material is quite firm (not particularly luxe but not unpleasant). Definitely go up a cup size - and probably a band size too. I'd even suggest going up 2 cup sizes as this bra is known for fitting very small.

    The Alana bra is perfect for the shape of my boobs. It looks and fits great and works well as an everyday bra while also being sexy enough for a special occasion. It was one of the first bras I bought after being professionally fitted, and it has remained a favourite of mine ever since.
    The fabric didn't stretch out too much over use; I use it now after almost two years of owning it on the second hook. The one problem it may have is the quality of the fabric/underwire section, as they poked out from the centre after some months of average use and careful washing.
    Still, the shape and feel of this bra make it worth it for me and if I could, I'd own it in every colour.

    Not the most pretty looking bra but does the job, I still get sore underneath the front of me when I've worn bra for 10+ hours but having the weight to carry around I kind of get that any bra I own will leave marks and hurt to a degree after 10+ hours of ware each day. Was tight when first brought but stretches quite quickly, I've worn the same style of bra for the last year and a half, I've only ever shopped at bravissimo and none of their other bras seem to 'fit'

    Love this bra because for the most part it IS comfortable. But I do get horrible red marks on my underbust, but if I change sizes it doesn't accommodate my breasts enough. Straps feel like they're too wide on me, as they have the tendency to fold in half if I'm wearing it for a long time, or doing a lot of lifting (manual handling job). However I can't fault the colour and it does was well.

    30HH

    Didn't fit

    Review of Alana in Black. I measure around 28HH; round, close-set, Full-on-Bottom and Top (Even). Aware that Alana is cut quite tight across the top and typically a Full-on-Bottom style. Definitely is from my experience here.

    Band: Nice thick band and straps, the latter of which I thought I would not like but they are comfortable although placed too wide – like all this bras in my size – and I found it very painful (like the Black Alana 28J and White Alana 30H I tried). Have read other views who find it painful. The band is tighter than other 30s due to the black dye.

    Gore: The gore ... kinks to the side – mostly my larger left – or sometimes digs into my right breast so I need to re-adjust, although it is not too painful

    Profile: I like the shape of it although it is different to the rounded Cleo profile I'm used to. I would say it is a uplifted shape of the blue profile Bras I Hate and Love writes in the her blog post "What exactly is a good shape?" = http://brasihate.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/what-exactly-is-good-shape.html
    It is a nice shape for a basic day-to-day bra and it feels like a very pretty everyday bra.

    Cups: Because of how tight it crosses along the cup, it does cut a bit into my breast tissue at the top despite the lace itself being lose - a possible combination of tall root and Full-on-Top as it seems to affect my left side more (which is where I more FoT than right side). Right side fits better than the left, no cutting into tissue at top – well, ever so slightly. It is quite a tall cup as well and does show under tops with a more open neck, something to be aware of.

    Result: Creases underneath due to the wire wires (when I distort them, it seems to disappear) and the straps and gore are too painful plus I'm not sure if the bra shape is right for me, despite wanting to love this bra so much.
