I freaking love this bra. It's the best fitting bra I've bought, it's cute, well-made, comfortable. I want 20 more!

The band runs firm; like a tight 28. Size-wise, I would say it tends to run slightly small. The way the seams are constructed on the cups in combination with the lace leads to a slightly lumpy profile just above the apex of the cups. It also gives a slightly pointy shape. Because with the inelastic fabric strip is sewed on at the top of the cups, the top might cut in (the thickness of the top edge of the cup leads me to suspect that it would probably show through thin clothing). The straps looks nice but cuts in at the armpits because of the way it forks. Overall though, it is quite comfortable.
It is a gorgeous bra with silver hardware detailing combined with lace. Definitely looks more expensive than it it.This bra is not owned any more

I really wanted to love this bra, but it just wasn't meant to be. There isn't enough projection for me which makes for some wrinkling & folding at the bottom of the cups. The overall look of this bra is fabulous, though. The wider band is comfortable and the cups are sooooo soft.

Bought this one because I love the fit of the 30FF - Masquerade ยป Antoinette Bandeau Bra (4381) , but there've been a few changes between model numbers that mean this new incarnation don't work for me.
The cups have the same depth but are a little wider, so therefore run a little shallower than previously. There's sufficient immediate projection at the base of the cup, so the bra remains FOB-friendly -- but the upper edge of the cup is now more closed. On me, with soft tissue, it creates a cutting-in/quad-boob effect. There is however plenty of space still inside the cup, so those with firm tissue may not experience the same problem, or not to the same degree. Still, if you're full on top or have a tall root, you may want to try this one on in-store or from a store that has cheap/free returns.This bra is not owned any more

Wasn't sure of my size, and the 30F is a little too big. Will definitely try this in an E, though! Beautiful, with great high wings and strong hooks. Center gore is slightly uncomfortable, but not terrible.

Absolutely exquisite looking bra, which looks much more expensive than it is.
As others have noted, the fit and appearance is similar to a corset. I have full-bottomed breasts but this made me look top-heavy; it's very tight around the top and high and tight under the arms, which makes it a little uncomfortable. Shape is somewhat old-fashioned and pointy - I can just about get away with it under a thickish top or dress.Updated on May 15, 2014 Flag this

This bra was far too small for me. (Ironically, the Alice in one size larger 28E was far too big.) It was a lovely, well-made bra. It definitely reminds me of old-school corsets, especially the support it provides. Other than the cup which was too small, the bra put all the extra flesh that wrap under my arms where it ought to be. That was surprisingly pleasant.
I do hope to find it in the right size as I suspect it'll be a good bra for me. Perhaps a 30DD or 30E.This bra is not owned any more
