I enjoyed this bra, though the cups were way too wide for me. I gave it to my sister, who filled the cups completely but needed an extender for the band to fit. I feel like this bra was shaped funny for my taste, almost torpedo. I really liked it, just wasn't for me.

I received this lovely bra from a fellow Bratabase member. I hadn't tried Gossard before, so I gambled on the size. It is very, very pretty, but . . . the cup is 2+ sizes too shallow. I'm concerned I just can't make a plunge work regardless of cup size because I fall into the center. This is not a problem I experience in the Freya Deco, but I also don't get any particular cleavage in that one either, so I thought I'd try the Gossard.
I do love the way the band is made on the Gossards; I find the open sections sexy and the overall arrangement to be very supportive. It doesn't seem as "skimpy" at the clasp as most 2-hook styles.
Quality seems high: stitching was lovely, materials felt nice, metal hardware.
Practicality would even be fairly decent in spite of the lace on the upper third of the 3-part cup.
I will be sending this one back into the universe for someone who has wider-set, shallower boobs.

The good:
The print is amazing
It has removable pads, for extra cleavage or to correct asymmetry
Underwires and side wings are short
The bad:
Only one hook fastening
Underwires may be too short for some people

cup to strap region is too far lateral and too straight up and down. should swoop in a bit more for comfort. Boobs look sort of angular, doesn't contour well along seams. back strap very snug, not forgiving.
