Wow, I can't believe how far I've come in my bra journey! This bra is everything I thought I would never like, and everything I thought would never work for my boobs.
How wrong was I?! It's completely non-padded, non-moulded, non-lined and SHEER! ie no hiding what your boobs really look like. I imagined they'd look unpleasant and the bra would be very impractical as I couldn't wear it under anything but a large jumper for fear that my nips might show. As someone who lives Monday-Friday in moulded bras, I'm now looking for more relaxed, natural boob-shaped bras for weekend wear.

I fell in love with the look of this bra and ummed and ahhed after reading copious reviews - I found it on Asos in this beautiful colourway. I was lusting after the teal/grey combo which had sold out in my usual 30E, so ordered this instead as an experiment, convinced I'd try it for research (and likely be able to cross it off my lustlist therefore eliminating it from my dreams) and return it .... ha, yeah right! It fits me really well and is really flattering.

It's a very modern, mature bra but the amazing colours give it a really fresh, youthful vibe - this combo of clean lines, classic unfussy design and bright colours makes it feel really perfect for someone of my age (big 3-0 next year) but equally so for any age group! Quite a feat in design.
It is definitely fairly large in the band - but not so large that it rides up. My usual size of 30 is ok for me, in that it didn't budge whilst being worn - and that was with me moving around picking fruit this morning, so that's a good sign! I'd be curious to try a 28 just to see what it's like, but imagine 30 is right for me.
The band seems stretchy, as do the straps - I need to tighten them quite a bit, like Cleo Maddie, but these straps are wider than Maddie so don't feel as flimsy.
The straps are stunning (I never thought I'd obsess over such a small detail!) - soft matte dove grey with a shiny ribbon like stripe running up the middle. The wires are GLORIOUSLY wide! They're poifect for me! Not quite as wide as @Tutti Rouge Liliana, but close I think.
I get a slightly rounded, somewhat minimised natural look in this bra and I love it! Its just right for the current British heatwave. The diagonal seam on the cups is perfectly placed to cover your nipple, just showing the areola. It's a surprisingly good look which not only I but my boyfriend think is rather sexy! Shocker.
The bra is very comfortable for me and makes me feel great https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":-D" />. Shame I don't have the matching knickers - I tried a medium (my usual size) but they were tiny! This is the most expensive bra I've ever bought (full price unfort!) but I have no qualms about it - and am even trying to source some more in other colours!

This bra is not owned any more
