Really nice plunge bra, especially for narrow cups as the gore is narrow, the cups very nearly touch in the middle and the underwire is short.

The band is slightly on the small side, but not too bad, and the straps could do with being a bit more adjustable as there's not much give in them.

The band on this one is TINY. I measure 26", and it is really very snug on me - I might wear an extender for a few weeks as it stretches out. It runs pretty large for an F cup - there is a bit of wrinkling at the top of the cup. It's a gorgeous satiny blue-grey in color, with a bright blue ribbon in the center. The wings are taller under the arm, and much smaller across the back.

This bra is awesome! I think it would fit better in a size down- unless I am using excellent posture, there is some gaping at the top, however, this bra is EONs better than my 34B molded cup bras. It looks smooth under shirts (you can't even see the gaping). In some of my thinnest shirts, you could see a hint of the top of the cup, and a hint of the diagonal seam, but you couldn't see the lace detail at all. The inside is awesomely polka-dotted. As noted elsewhere, M&S skips the FF, so this would be a 28FF, but since ... the band only stretches to 27", it's really more of a 26G. I've got a 26" ribcage measured tightly, and this felt very snug. The wing height is a little higher than in the Flirtelles, so between that and the snug band, I didn't have to re-swoop and scoop. The molded cup doesn't add bulk, but it does keep things modest if you're concerned about headlights. This bra gives a more rounded and spread look, as opposed to forward-projected, but I like the silhouette. I think in one size down I may even get cleavage.

Even though I measure 25 inches for my band measurement, this bra is definitely tight enough on the loosest hook! I would recommend sizing up in band size for this bra. The underwire doesn't poke anywhere, and overall it's pretty comfortable.

M&S bra sizes miss out a FF, so this is really a 28G. It's the first bra I've ever seen them sell in this size so I was excited to try it. As with most M&S bras I've tried, the band is quite snug, which I like as I really need a 26 band. The cups are moulded and weren't quite what I expected. The shape is a rounded version of a 'natural' breast shape, so it would be good if you like moulded cups but not the artificially round (I'm thinking Deco) look they usually give. The cups are also deep, and they were too big for me.
The fabric is very soft and the design is simple and good for everyday. The cups are a little more full coverage than I prefer, and the band does not extend under the cups, which usually means digging in from the wires on me. I didn't wear it long enough to find out if it did this.

This is NOT a 30G bra. M&S skip out FF cup sizes, so this is really a 30FF. However, the bands on M&S bras often run quite small (the 28s fit me extremely well, and my underbust is 25-26) and the cups in this style are a little on the small side too.

I thought this was the same as the plunge styles I had tried from M&S before, but it is slightly different. There is no band under the cups, which means they stretch when the bra is on and flatten out the profile. This might be good for some, but I don't like it. I also find ... it very uncomfortable when I bend over as the underwires then dig in.

Other than that, it's a nice bra. The cups are moulded, so you get a smooth shape, and the little added details like contrasting connecters on the straps are really nice. And for £14 it's very good value. In the past, the similar styles I have tried have not stretched out very quickly and this one seems of similar build, but I will be returning this one so I can't comment for sure.

I first bought this bra because of good reviews and the high cotton percentage (37%), which I thought would make it a good alternative to unpadded bras in summer.

This bra would be really great for people with a really broad root. My root, although broad, is not broad enough for this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />
It has a supersmall band, it only stretches to 64 cm, even though it's a 60 band (or 28).
I sort of like the "rustical" look, but absolutely cannot get it to fasten. With an extender, the cups are too big and broad for me.

This is a very pretty black bra with sequins all over the front of the cups. The band is super tight for a 30, M&S bands are usually that way, and the cups are a bit small for my liking, should've gotten a 30G.

Will be selling this one

The cup is way to deep for me. I fill the cup completely on the tops and bottoms but have gap at the tip of the cup. Also the cup itself seems to sit to low on my chest. The bra has a very stiff molded cup and I think that is part of the problem. Also the straps are way to wide and leave marks on my near my armpits.

The cups are very close to fitting. They do start cutting in a bit when I move around, but the reason I decided not to keep them is the pointy shape. It also doesn't offer much support or uplift. My breasts are round, (bottom)heavy and somewhat low, so I prefer sturdier bras. The band is fine out of the box.
