I really love these bras. They look great, feels great and are really comfortable. Only thing i don't like these is those heart-shaped rings on back. They sometimes digs in to my skin and that doesn't feels nice.

[This is for the "Vanilla" coulourway, the band seems to be longer, but less stretchy than the "Hot Coral" or "Cornflower Blue"]
Perfect for shallow, full on bottom breasts- full review will be up as soon as I get the matching brazillian!

I'm in a 32G/GG in Freya unpadded, 32H in Curvy Kate unpadded for the record.
I stepped down as the 32 band is very very loose. I'm at 31.5" underbust, but the 30 still pulled up badly in back and it was loose as I could get my whole hand under the band and pull back around 3".
I went up 2 cup sizes to the J, and it was still tight and I got some quad boob going on. I don't quad boob. Ever. If I get overspill, it goes down. With the loose band, I know I was going to have issues.
It ... was cute. It was comfortable enough for the fact it didn't fit. But I sent it right back because there was no hope for this ever working for me.
I'm marking quality as poor strictly because as a 32 band is my normal, having to go to at least a 28 band is unacceptable, and if a Curvy Kate bra - known to run small - fits a with a H cup, there is no reason I should go up to a J, and as it stands, going to a 28 or very likely a 26 means I'd be into the K/KK range at very least, and I'm sized out. I just don't find that to be an excusable construction.

The Liliana is a thing of beauty, Unfortunately, this beauty does not work for me. Had very high hopes after reading reviews that both the band and the cups ran small and "shallowish." My usual Panache and Elomi size is 36J but I could easily fasten the Liliana band on the tightest hooks with room to spare. This makes me wonder if there are inconsistencies in the band at the higher end of their size range. The wires were the perfect width and height for me but there was way too much gaping on top for my soft, shallow on top boobs.
I will be looking forward to trying more from Tutti Rouge in the future.

It's so soft! I love how this bra feels. Unfortunately, I don't love how it fits. It quadboobs, and the wires are too wide on me, so going up to 32J would probably not work. The cup is kinda shallow all over. The gore height I adore, it's just high enough not to have anything spill, but low enough to wear with pretty much anything. The band is not very tight, so I recommend to take your usual size, or sizing down if you're between sizes. Size up in the cups though.

A really cute bra! Too bad it doesn't work for me.
I'm usually quite wary about padded bras, but this type of partially padded cup seems to work. Sadly, the cup is too small for me. I get quadboob. My boobs don't fill the bottom of the cup (not enough projection/depth in the bottom). The shape of the cup is wider and flatter rather than the more centered and projected shape I've come to look for in a bra. The wires are not too wide, only the overall shape of the cup.
The straps, while thin and stretchy, seem ok. They feel nice, and look nice.
I'd like to try this bra in a 32HH to see, if it would work better. Worries: what if the wires are too wide, what if the cup still is not deep enough, what if the straps will be too short?

True to size band, very nice. I'd say best for shallow boobs - it was slightly too wide for me, and did not have enough projection.

Oh wooow but that's unfortunately small. What's your full bust measurement these days? I'm wondering whether to attempt the 36J myself. I wonder if they knew this one ran small and that's why the extra size?
It's 48.5" today. Which is pretty much my usual. But my underbust has gone down to a staggering 29.75" super tight, so the difference is larger than usually (while being on Bratabase, it has been up to 33.5"). My loose measurement has also gone down, from just shy of 36" to now a flat 34". Weirdly enough, bra bands don't really seem looser on me... So I think my small measurement is only for an area much narrower than most bands - thus they can still be snug at the top of the band for example.
I'm baffled that this one is so small though, because Georgina was able to go with her usual size - I know my boobs are very soft and thus quadroboob in cases where firmer boobs would just get a bit push-up effect, but this is a lot. Hence why I think the width vs. projection is to blame.
This worries me o.O what's your larger boob perimeter if you don't mind me asking?
18" (Which is up about 1" from earlier measurements), when going by the mark from the wire on my new Cleo Meg, which is the most appropropriate wire-width I own.
I look forward to see other reviews of this bra, to figure out what type of breast it works best for.
I would just like to comment and say that I think it'd be better if you described this bra as good for "wide and shallow boob" instead of just shallow. I need extremely narrow wires yet my boobs are shallow in projection. I think it's a term that needs to be recognized as not only a one-way shape :) One can be either wide + shallow, narrow + shallow and average + shallow :)

I'm usually between a 38/40 band depending on brand and this 38 band was huge on me. I'm glad I saw this comment because I thought I was taking crazy pills - must be a QC issue.
