Admittedly, aside from being open on top, this bra is not ideal for my shape. It is very shallow, which causes the gore ever so slightly and the bra to slide downwards a little throughout the day. The straps are quite wide-set, which may be problematic for those with narrow shoulders.

Nevertheless, I absolutely LOVE this bra, even after discovering Ewa Michalak's CHP cut, which is far more suitable for my shape and projection. Rhea was one of the first bras I got after learning my correct size, and is truly the epitome of what I look for in lingerie! It is incomparably beautiful and sumptuous-looking... dusky lilac-taupe satin, vertical seams ending in thick lace, and a delicate ribbon bow and rhinestone pendant at the center gore. The materials are definitely evocative of something from the Italian Renaissance, if not some other historical aesthetic! The cup construction is extremely uplifting and keeps your bust close to your chest to create a beautiful cakes on a plate cleavage. I find that it's a wonderful piece practical for both bedroom and everyday wear. Every time I wear it, it makes me so happy to know I have something so lovely beneath my clothes!
