Bravissimo's Mademoiselle Bra is an unpadded, unlined half cup. It fits well, with the cakes-on-a-plate cleavage and rounded profile half cups should provide. It's comfortable for me in the 30F. I have Bravissimo's Tanzania Stripe in a 28FF but decided to try the Mademoiselle in the new Emerald/Amethyst colorway in 30F. I recently decided 30 bands give me the shape I want and are more comfortable than 28 bands, though my tight underbust measurement is 28."

The only reason I'm going to return this bra is the colors are much more pastel than I like. Bravissimo's website made it look like a clear, saturated emerald green, like Pantone's Color of the Year Emerald. Unfortunately the bra in real life looks like as though someone filled a gallon paint can with 3/4 gallon Pantone's Emerald and 1/4 gallon white paint. I've included a shot of the inside of the cups. If the colors were as vivid on the outside as on the inside, I'd keep the bra. The matching shorts are pretty and fit well in XS. I've included front and back shots of the shorts so you can see how sheer they are. I hope they make this set in cleaner, more intense colors in the future.

I should add that there is only about 0.25" of empty space in the underwire channel. I find a lot of bras have loads of empty space there, so the Mademoiselle does pretty well in this regard. I'd prefer it were completely filled, but it's not bad.
