My shape is low set, slightly pendulous, and short and narrow rooted.

This bra came to me pre-loved but in mint condition from rachaelll (thanks). The colour is dark pink and reminds me of 65FF - Ewa Michalak » Chp Red Wine that I used to own. There is decorative lace along the front of the straps, and along the band to the clasps. The only thing is, the lace on the straps like to fold over on itself, so you have to flatten it (at least I did). The band measures to a true 30" band, but it doesn't feel overly stretchy... probably because of the lace that covers the band. The straps adjust long enough on my tall frame, but they are extended all the way out in the back. The shape is lovely and rounded, but obviously too small on me. (I think I had a growth spurt because the last 3 I tried were all too small). I'll save this one for my "low tide" days and for when I lose 5 pounds again. It is very reminiscent of my 30F - Panache » Porcelain Grace Sweetheart Moulded Bra (7371) . The only real difference I could see from measurements was that this ardour cup is shorter by about 0.5cm. It's a molded cup that lays smoothly and looks good under a tee, but it is slightly shallow. I actually think that the panache porcelain grace might be a little bit more projected at the wire, which may be why I can currently wear it without bubbling over (that and the additional height of the cup).

Overall the bra is great quality, great comfort, shallow, and pretty.

This bra is not owned any more

  It’s so beautiful. I tried a very purple one last year. I’m sure I would have to size up too. It fit me then but I’m larger now.

  Yeah I think you'd definitely have to size up right now Calluna . I could use a bigger size right now too, but I'm gonna hold onto this one for now anyways, because I think it would fit well if I was a bit smaller... and I fluctuate sometimes depending on my weight, so there's no point in getting rid of it.

  Backup bras for rainy days is always a good thing! It saves a lot of heartache (and backache, & breast-ache) during size changes instead of having to wait for new ones to show up.

  MamaPagan exactly! I've sold off a few bras I now regret getting rid of because I would have fit them now! Grrr. Hindsight is 50/50 as they say.

  Wilderness1 it is the same here...I kind of wish I still had my 30FF Bardot now.
