Really pretty bra, but the band ended up being too loose and the cups too shallow, I am shallow-ish, and small after tissue migration. Felt rather flattened out under clothing, but could be due to shallow cups. Band could easily be a 32 as it is very stretchy

If awesome was a bra, this would be it. I am in bra love. <3

Update: I got tissue migration, and now the band is too loose and I get quadboob! I never even got a chance to wear it! Noooo!!!!! D:

Is a pretty decent fit. But the wire under arms comes up a bit too high for me.

This bra is very comfortable! The wires are a good length and come up to a good height on the side. Unfortunately, they are far too wide. This was the first bra I bought because it was recommended are shallow shapes. I was under the impression that I have a wide root also as many other girls with shallow breasts do. However, while standing, I realize that there is literally no boob under my armpit and I was more narrow and close together (still shallow though cause it starts up high and little projection). However, the gore does come up a little high and digs in. The gore ... is also too separated. The seam does show a bit under some fitted and thin shirts but that's okay. Also, the seam on the inside of the bra is very itchy on my nipple. I also wish the bra gave a just a wee bit more lift. This bra does fit well for my shallow shape though. It isn't too deep, maybe a teensy bit deeper would be perfect. 30 DD would be too wide since 30 D is already wide. Still, this bra is very cute. I love the little bows on the straps and the little detailing on the band.

I have this bra in both this version and the plunge version in the same size, and this bra seems to be of inferior quality all around. In the pictures, you can see a bit of a pucker/pointiness just above the nipple. That's not because the bra doesn't fit right--it does--but rather it's because the lace isn't flush with the cup. Overall the balcony seems stretchier than the plunge. I would definitely get this in a 28 if Lepel made bras with a 28 band.

For me, personally, the center gore is too tall and digs into my sternum. In addition, the straps are set slightly too wide, and fall off my shoulders occasionally. Of course, the latter complaint may be because the band is a bit too wide/stretchy.

Fits well, maybe a little narrow in the wires for me, but the tall wing makes up for it.

I only got this bra a few months before my boobs decided to migrate, so I haven't worn it all that often.
At the beginning I found the high centre gore a bit uncomfortable, but I quickly got used to it and found the bra very comfortable. It also gave my boobs a really good round shape and the lace didn't show under t-shirts.
The band on my bra hasn't stretched out, but I've only worn it a few times.

Despite getting a small but distinct amount of quadboob with this bra, I'm going to keep it. One, because I don't think it's enough to warrant a full cup size change (like the CK Lottie, which gave mild quadboob, but had me swimming in the cups when I went up a size), and two, because the lace on this bra does an excellent job of disguising said quadboob. I will, nevertheless, order a 30G just in case. As for the band, although it would definitely be better in a 28 band (which Lepel doesn't currently make) and it does ride up somewhat in the back, it feels tighter ... than some of my more stretchy 28 band bras (CK showgirl bras, I'm looking at you) and the band moves less than those bras do when I raise my arms or jump up and down.

Personally, I find that this is, as recommended, a great bra for shallow, full-on-bottom breasts. The shape of the bra seems like it was designed with me in mind. I usually prefer a more rounded shape, but I like the shape here, too. It's rounded but isn't quite as circular as some bras, more rounded at the bottom and a bit more diagonally flattened on the upper portion, if that makes any sense. Not pointy, by any means, if you're concerned about that.

I have a long torso and still noticed that this bra comes up really high under the arms. It's not enough to bother me (it actually makes me feel quite "secure" in the bra), but I could see it being uncomfortable if you were more sensitive to that sort of thing, or had a shorter torso or high-set breasts. If I could change one thing on this bra (other than expanding down to sub-30 bands), it would be replacing the double hooks with triple hooks. I don't think that double hooks are adequate at this size, though obviously some bra makers disagree.

It's a bedroom bra for me - The support is too weak, the straps are awfull and the band runs quite large. So I got it in a few sizes too small as I wanted that Christina Hendrics effect, and that's what I got - because of the construction of the cup it doesn't cut in even though the cups are too small. It creates a nice round shape, but very flimsy an jiggly, I don't enjoy walk about in it much. So yeah, hot pink works for my boyfriend because he thinks it's red https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />

Nice bra, very comfy. The wider band makes it just a touch comfier than the Fiore plunge, but makes it more likely to show under tops with low-cut armholes. Unlike the plunge version, it has lace trim on the bottom of the bra. Not a massive fan of the look of that.

The band is, strangely, significantly shorter than on the plunge bra, though both fit me fine. It doesn't have removable padding the way the plunge version does.
