Excellent immediate projection!! Surprise!! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

This is an incredibly lightweight bra with shaping power. If you can tolerate a 1.1" wide gore and need "better than most" immediate projection, Halo Lace is a great option. Although the cup edge is closed, the lace is stretchy and accommodates size and shape variation. In summer, this would be a dramatic relief to my other, less-ventilated bras.

The flat lace is invisible under thin knits. The shape is rounded and lifted. The straps are peached, soft, and supportive.

Although this band stretched to just over 32", the immediate projection was so good, that the band was significantly long. If I try this again, I'll purchase a 32g. But, this gore width is a definite deterrent.

Not a good choice for close-set, center-full breasts unless you are comfortable with alterations. Otherwise, a fantastic lightweight, readily available bra with excellent immediate projection.

It has a firm band and the elastic feels very soft on the skin. The wires are very flexible and are the first ones that don’t hurt me. Cups are made from elastic lace without seams and has an extra layer of elastic mesh on the sides to push the breasts more to the front.

Very natural looking fit, cups fit great for an unlined bra. Ever so slightly pinching at the center of the cups, so they are slightly too wide I think. Band is a bit tight, but other reviews say it stretches out over time. Not too tight, just noticable. Worried about the underwire under my arm, it digs in a bit and rides a little high. Straps feel secure.

Main concern is the gap under and to the side of my boob at the underwire. The underwire fits at the outside edge, but it runs high and the curve is a bit too much for me to fill out. The center is close to perfect, I think.

Side gap with high underwire, not narrow enough?

I need a larger cup size (center gore is floating above my sternum) but the bra is still very stretchy and comfy.

I ordered this a second time after returning it. Remeasured and the proportions are different. Quality control? I don’t know.

I bought this after trying a 30DD and 30DDD, because I thought it might solve some fit issues. The proportions are very different in the 32, and it just didn’t work out the way I’d hoped.

This is a nice bra. Tall, narrow cups with a LOT of projection for the size. Stretchy fabric is very forgiving and works well with asymmetry. Comfortable and soft. Cups are tall, but not too overwhelming on my petite frame. Center-pull straps are awesome - no cutting into armpits. Seamless cups give a nice rounded shape.

I tried this in a 30DDD in store (so unable to get measurements), and it was much more fabric. Looked like a granny bra on me in that size. When the proportions are right, it’s reasonably attractive.

Super comfortable, awesome shape under clothing. Nice lace, no seems. Perfect bra for me at the moment.

If the gore had been any wider, I would not have bought it though. Gore isn't a perfect fit as it is. It comes forward a little. But it's not causing any trouble.

This is the second Wacoal bra I have tried and the band is so tight. This 32 is the tightest 32 I have ever put on. I can barely get it to hook. Other than that I really like it. I think this is a good fit on my larger side but is too projected for my smaller side. Need to figure out how to manage that.

Too big on the smaller side

Stretch lace (unlined), full coverage bra.

About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
* short roots
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
