This is a no for me. The seam between the padded part and the lace is very obvious under even loose tees. The gore is too high, and digs into my sternum. The top lace part collapses, it's very stretchy and is asking for more upper fullness than I have, which gives it kind of a bullet bra look since I can't evenly fill the cups out. The straps are too far apart, causing the cup on my smaller side to fold over - but at least they don't murder my armpits like my Charlotte. At least not at first. I don't think Parfait and I will get along. This one's going back.

The Pros - it's really pretty. Might work for someone else.

Lovely bra as far as looks and craftmanship go - the fit is more tricky. This size (30FF) is probably a bit too big on me. I need to adjust the straps very short to bring the cups high enough not to gape terribly. This puts the cups right up into my armpits however, which is not very comfortable. The non-padded upper part of the cups is very stretchy lace, which is not a great fit for soft breast tissue.

The underwires are the sturdiest (won't distort) I've ever come across in a bra. The band is tight for a 30, I'd say it fits like a Freya 28.
