SS12 Bravissimo Exclusive "Lime" Fashion color version. I had to exchange the original purchase measured in this review for quality, received an identical in same size reviewed here: 28GG ().
Band length: 59.9cm Cup width: 14.3cm Cup depth: 29.0cm Wire length: 28.1cm Cup separation: 2.5cm Strap width: 1.8cm
Quality: 3/5 (is very supportive yet delicate... will survive the entire summer season?) Comfort: 5/5 Appearance: 5/5
I am super pleased to say the fit is 100% identical on this bra to the current widely available SS12 Yellow version. Sometimes there is a slight fluctuation in the actual bra make so I decided to try both a 30g (http://bra.pe/RdB/) and 28gg just like Lucy in Yellow. Please see my fit review for Yellow 28gg here: (http://bra.pe/RcB/).
The color is quite difficult to capture on camera. It is perhaps best described as a "fluorescent green highlighter" color. I am in love.

I liked both Yellow and Lime Lucy so much from the current SS12 season I figured I may as well continue collecting and pick up the regular continuity versions too. Lucy in "White" measured about 2cm smaller in the band than the others (Yellow 28GG: http://bra.pe/RcB/ and Lime 28GG: http://bra.pe/Rdt/). Initially I had to add an extender but after wearing for a few minutes I realized I could take the extender ...off and fasten it regularly on the first hook. This one fits just as well as the other two. My only qualm is the cutting-in effect that Alexa (http://bra.pe/R2w/) is known for. I just don't get why this bra would have it and the other two wouldn't. Maybe I received a slightly irregular one. Either way, it has to go back for now. I hope to try the Black version and then attempt the White again from another store soon.

One of my most highly-anticipated SS12 purchases, Lucy in Yellow. Because she is bright yellow. I fell in love with this bra online before it became available to purchase. I nearly settled for a 30G because it was easier to find. It took a while but I finally got myself into the "sister size" in a snugger band and a 28GG. First hook is fantastic and this bra is so ...lightweight and comfy I forgot I was wearing it the entire first day. Bonus on GG+ cups: there is a soft felt lining under the slightly wider straps for carrying extra boobage weight, of course!
Based on quality I am unsure if this will last past the 6 month mark but I really wanted a summertime bra and this will surely fit the bill. If she lasts 2 seasons I will be even more grateful. The matching undies are incredibly comfy! I will keep an eye out for future color options.
