This is a wonderful bra. It fit me when I got it, but I gained some weight so it's too small now. I will probably buy a new one in a larger cup size because it's a really great bra. I have had about 4 of these bras in the past 5 years. They are very comfortable, fit wonderfully, and last a long time.

This bra is very durable and well made. The wires are a bit too wide and tall for me and it does not work for my full on bottom breasts. The material is very nice and I like that it is unmolded and gives my breasts a natural appearance.

I like it except the underwire is slightly pokey- great shape but goes up a little TOO far in the armpits

Pretty bra, fabric is so soft and comfortable. Wires seem wide. The bra also seems to allow for good projection. I wish the straps were fully adjustable. It hasn't stretched very much. Very nice natural shape.

I ordered this bra in two sister sizes. This one was slightly too big for me in the cups, but not as much as the 65G - Prima Donna » Perle Underwire T-shirt (bigger Sizes) (016 I also tried. You find my overall opinion on this bra in the review of the fitting 65F - Prima Donna » Madison Padded Bra (bigger Sizes) (0262121) .

Plain padded bra with a check pattern and little bows on straps and gore. The preformed foam cups give a smooth and round silhouette and come up fairly high creating a kind of sweetheart neckline. The check pattern on the cups may show trough very flimsy T-shirts but overall it works really well as an T-shirt bra.
The straps are covered with the same check design as the cups and are fully adjustable.

Unpretending three part full cup bra made of opaque checked material with little bows on gore and straps giving a classic tear-drop like silhouette. The straps are fairly wide set for a full cup and completely adjustable. They are slightly broader as on other Prima Donna designs in the same size which for me adds to the comfort.
Sadly the seams show somewhat trough thin T-shirts and as I ordered it looking for an T-shirt option I decided to keep the smoother padded version - 65F - Prima Donna » Madison Padded Bra (bigger Sizes) (0262121) .
All in al this is a very comfortable bra and ideal as an everyday bra.

I really like this bra. It's pretty, it's comfortable, the cups are perfect for my breasts ... I would recommend this bra definitely. So glad I picked this bra up!

Unpretending lightly padded T-shirt bra with a flower rank stitched to the straps and a little teardrop pendant on the gore. The cups feel very soft and adjust smoothly to my body even if I don't fill them out entirely in the upper part. The straps are fairly wide set and adjustable only in the back because of the embellishment on the front. It wears very comfortable and makes a smooth rounded shape.
Unfortunately the cups are slightly to big and to wide set for me so the pendant tends to disappear between the wires. As the Love me Tender from Prima Donna Twist I tried in store fitted like I glove I thought 65G would be my size to go. Probably 65F would have been a better fit in this bra.

The 65E (roughly equivalent to a UK 30E because of Prima Donna's bizarre sizing system) is a lovely vertical seam, unlined bra in a vibrant red. It was cutting in the way plunge bras can on a shallow shape. Though my shape isn't really shallow or projected, my size in Prima Donna is usually 65F, but the Fantasia is a discontinued, past season model. I haven't been able to find another in what would probably be my correct size.
Like all the Prima Donna bras I've tried, the materials are top notch, and it was very comfortable from the first moment I put it on. This bra inspired me to try the Prima Donna Madison Plunge Bra, which I now have in three colors.
Some of Prima Donna's plunge have vertical seamed cups. This, as I recall, is one of them. The Madison Plunge is another. The Traviata, the only convertible bra Prima Donna has come out with, is, too. Excellent construction for lift and shape.

The 65E Prima Donna Tamise Balconette (016-2433) doesn't make me quadboob, but the top of it strains to keep me flattened into the cup. Unlike the full, rounded shape I get from most of my bras, the Tamise kind of flattens the top half of my boobs so the profile makes me look full-on-bottom. In bras my boobs behave like full-on-top. I have three Prima Donna Madison Plunge Bras, which, like the Tamise, are unlined. The Madison Plunges fit great in 30F. I suspect the Tamise would, too. I wear a 30F in most bras I own. I've tried perhaps a hundred bras and found 30F to be ... my most common size. However, this bra is a past season model and I couldn't find it in 30F.
However, the Tamise, being a balconette, is higher in the center gore and thus has more coverage than the Madison Plunges. The Tamise also has that irritating and common Prima Donna feature, one row of hooks and eyes. Someone at Prima Donna had the sense to put two rows of hooks and eyes on the 30F Madison Plunges.
The Tamise is white, lightweight, unlined, and unpadded. It would suit someone who doesn't mind a center gore higher than 1.5" and who typically wears UK 30E, I believe. Prima Donna's cups run big in my size range, and they skip some letters. That explains why I wear a 30F in their bras instead of a 30G or 30H
The higher price of Prima Donnas is evident in the materials used in the Tamise. Comfort is where the nicer materials really come through for the wearer. The materials are all soft and feel good.
One feature not evident in the product photos of this bra is the pale gold embroidery on the cups. It makes the bra prettier than I had expected. The embroidery is subtle and attractive.

Too small for me.

When i first felt this bra it felt like a paper gown they give you at the doctor office, but once it was on it had a nice feel to it. This bra was too small for me.

Learned that Prima Donna's fashion styles such as the Aurora tend to run smaller in the band and cups than the continuous collections (e.g., Madison and Deauville). For this seasonal/fashion style (it's gorgeous btw!), it's worth going up a band size and keeping the same cup size. The Aurora 34D bra fits like a 32D from the continuous collections.

Wires aren't quite as long or wide as I'm used to, but this fits surprisingly great!

Very supportive moulded t-shirt bra. The bra appears to be designed for a FoT shape. Being rather FoB I cannot quite fill the upper part of the cups and tend to look a little bit pointy. Otherwise it's a very comfy bra. The band is stretchier as in other Prima Donna styles, but cup fabric and stitching seems to be as longlasting as usual.

Gorgeous lightly padded halfcup balcony bra. The cups are completely covered with embroidered mesh and have some flower applications on the upper part and straps. The sheer lace on top of the cups is lined with elastic band for extra grip.
The bra gives good support and a beautiful rounded shape. As the band is not overly stretchy it doesn't ride up my 28'' back even when I go out dancing. Everything stays in place!
Sadly the cups are slightly too small for me. I normally wear an 30F. So I knew from the beginning this 32DD bra was not very likely to fit. But who can say no seeing such a beautiful bra in sales. Otherwise the bra's quality is excellent and I'm going to keep it for occasions I want to show a little more cleavage.

This bra is very comfortable, but the straps are slightly too far apart for my narrow shoulders. In the pictures, I haven't pushed them towards my neck as I'd otherwise do, so they sit as they "should" do.
Even though the bra is unpadded, it gives my breasts a very nice, round shape and it's very soft and feels nice to wear. I can't quite fill out the very top of the bra (the cup goes far up the straps) but it's not very noticeable as it's just the lace part, and the gap doesn't show through clothes.
I will keep it even though it's not "perfect", because the flaws don't really bother me and it's very cute... And it was on sale.

This bra is really comfortable as is, but will be even better once I take it in to have the band resized. I wish it came in a 28 band.
For the first time in ages, even with PMS boobs, I don't show quadboob and I'm not tempted to take my bra off the minute I get home from work.

A comfortable bra with no poking and sufficient support. Nice smooth satin material that feels soft. The bra looks nice, but has a rather plain design. My usual problem with top wrinkling.
