OK; this is one of the prettiest bras I own!! I LOVE the embroidery and cross-stitching on the cups.
The exterior fabric covering the cups that contains the embroidery is a tight polyester and rayon mesh that is very non-elastic. This material is formed into a cup shape with pleats at the bottoms of the cups. The inner two-piece cup itself is 100% cotton, making it very comfortable and absorbent.
The bra fits me well! The wires are wide enough for my wide roots, and is fairly comfortable, although, with the mesh material at the front of the bra, all the stretch comes in the band.
Completely sheer, with its lilac colour and its coral red bows, this bra is so pretty. But not fitting my shape at all. First, the band is too large. True, I chose this bra before I knew my real size. But the band is so stretchy. It could hardly fit snugly enough. Then, the cups are too narrow. They cut into my breasts on the sides, the central gore doesn't touch my sternum at all, and the underwires are so fragile I fear they could break. And the worst problem of all, the cups are gaping a lot on top. This bra definitely doesn't fit FoB breasts at all. One must be very FoT to fill cups that are so open on top. As I wanted to keep this bra, I altered the cups on top. Now it fits better, although the cups are still slightly gaping as they aren't stretchy at all. I'd have returned this bra if it didn't look so pretty.
This bra's band feels more like a 34 to me. It stretches, but people who usually wear a 36 might want to also try a 38 just in case. The wires do not lay completely flat on my sternum. I'm not sure if it's because of all the padding or if I need a slightly bigger cup size. It seems to fit pretty well otherwise though.
Lots of padding in the bottom and center of the cup to get "extreme push-up."
It is a pretty bra. I bought it for bedroom purposes when I thought I was a 36C. Now that I know about proper fit, I don't care for it as much. This bra appears to fit in the cups if I don't adjust myself into it, but when I do, it is painfully obvious the cups are too small.
