This bra fit my wide, even breast shape quite well and cooperated fully with my petite stature and high root. It also gave a lifted, projecting, rounded silhouette that I liked very much.

My only grip was that the cups did not have any side support, and were not cut guide breast tissue forward. If anything I felt like the opposite was happening and that what little forward projecting breast tissue I had was somewhat being pulled around to my sides. The photos don't at all show this to be the case, but I certainly felt like my arms were hitting my side boob an awful lot more than normal.

The vintage colorway is quite beautiful and classic, especially with the delicate lace overlay on the cups and elegant lace trim at the bottom of the gore and cup rims. This would make a great "invisible" bra as the Vintage color is a basic beige nude sheer while the seams and lace on the cups are virtually undetectable under clothing.

The band on this bra is quite firm; it stretches very easily for a few inches and then just stops. It's quite bizarre. But I am a fan of both the reasonable tension and the maximum stretched length of this bra, as it keeps things firm without them being uncomfortable.

All around a fantastic bra. Someone with less need for side support would do absolutely beautifully in it. If it had a side support panel, I'd buy ten and wear them to work. The seams perfectly aligned with my nipple for modesty, the sheer beige was a perfect no-show shade under tops, an the patterning was subtle enough to leave no bumps in my outerwear. What more could you want?

This bra is not owned any more

• I wonder if you could add side support slings inside the cup. They look relatively simple to construct, and you could attach it to the strap, then tack it down along the cup until you reach the base of the cup. I remember the side supports in my Andorra were tacked along the outer edge of the cup but not on the other side. Might be worth a shot if you got this cheap enough and you otherwise love it!

• For the sake of curiosity and after nearly paying off my Amazon credit card, I paid full price for that baby: $62! It's going back whether I love it or not lol

  Definitely not a bad idea though... if I run into one listed here on Bratabase or ebay that might be a worthwhile project!
