My tease me arrived today! I was so excited and tried it on right away. At first I was in heaven, I thought it was the first bra that I wouldn't have to alter to fit me, but after 30 mins of wearing I had to take it off.
I'm not sure if it's just that my skin is sensitive ... to things or if other people experienced it too, but even though the materials used for this bra is nice and high quality, some parts are REALLY scratchy for me; especially near the arms where the strap connects to the bra and there are ribbons there. If I run my fingers along that area, I can feel the sharpness of the stitching/lace or whatever it is. Also the vertical seam coverings on the inside of the cup irritated me because it's a scratchy mesh type material.
I'm glad to find that I think I found my correct size in CK though. The next size down would have been too small. There was a tiny bit of gaping after moving around a bit which would need adjustment every now and then but no where as bad as the Rhea, so I'm considering washing and wearing it a few times to see if the scratchyness near the arms goes away before deciding to alter the straps closer in, cause otherwise the wider set straps aren't too much of a problem. And it's the first bra where the gore seems to tack properly to my chest!
I like the fact that the underwires come up higher on the sides than the Rhea. I really wish we had a Bravissimo here in Canada because the way that Branarchist described the fit of the Mademoiselle bra, I think that it would work really well for me. No wonder I've always liked the look of the rococo/tanzania/demi diva bras!

Wait wait wait - what's this with ordering as many as you like? Is it like their policy or you're ordering more by yourself?
You don't have to pay postage on your exchange order, even If you order different bras than in your first order - if I understand correctly?!
That's nice:D
