I love the look of this bra! I had wanted to try Anna Pardal for a long time and luckily Comexim still had some of the fabrics left. (Another style I asked about, Sabine, had run out.) I’m kind of addicted to bras with black lace on pale background, but Hibiscus really stands out with the gorgeous lace pattern. The ribbon at the edge of the cups and the black-and-gold bows are beautiful details. The overall look is very stylish.

This bra is labelled 60J because I ordered it through Comexim (but Bratabase only uses UK sizing for Anna Pardal styles). It has the following alterations: reduced and overlapping ... gore, straps moved in, and 4x2 hooks. The band on my bra seems like a standard 28, and it fits me best on the second row of hooks. I wear 60HH for plunges, but I think I prefer this bigger size for half cups. The center gore actually tacks, which is the first time for a Comexim bra! Because of my close-set breasts, the gore does however turn towards the other breast. It feels comfortable nevertheless.

This is not a perfect style for me, because the ribbon on top slightly cuts into my upper/center fullness. It’s not too visible, though. Also the wires are a bit too wide, and for the first couple of times I wore this bra, the top of the wires started pressing into my sides after a long day. But the discomfort seems to have disappeared with further wear.

I also got the matching thong in size S. It’s comfortable and looks totally gorgeous.
