This is Lady Grey in the Classic Plunge, customized with straps moved in and pockets for asymmetry pads. Having been totally unsure of my size and wanting to try out AP just after it shut down, I ordered based on the recommendations of Jaimie at Bra Obsessed. Seriously, like many others I cannot recommend her expertise in Polish bras enough! The fabric of Lady Grey is extraordinarily beautiful, a really lustrous peachy satin with repeating paisley-like shapes and matching grey bows. It is so silky and comfortable against the skin! The straps are a deep gunmetal with a glossy finish in the center. All together the bra looks ... very very well-made.

I feel like this is about as close to a perfectly-fitting padded bra as I am going to get! As a 28G/30FF in UK brands, I would have never otherwise gone for a size 30GG, but the three-part cups fit like a glove, encompassing my boobs wonderfully with their narrow wires. They are centering enough to provide nice cleavage, yet the gore still tacks-- a phenomenon that really only tends to happen to me in Polish plunge bras. I have included one photo without removable pads and one with (taken from a 65G EM S bra) in order to see the difference. The satiny band doesn't have a lot of stretch and runs about an entire band size small; it's a very comfortable yet firm fit on my 28" ribcage. The placement of the straps is a refreshing change from EM's very wide-set configuration, and I feel like having them moved inward evened out the distribution of tension a little, providing better lift and, according to Jaimie, more room for center fullness. The hook and eye fastening is the normal 3x3.

The matching tap pant in medium is a good fit on my 36" hips, however the elastic cuts in just a hint more than the rest of the fabric. I tend to prefer thongs as I find them more seamless, comfortable and not a cut that you consciously "feel" throughout the day, but the design of these is quite elegant and still "cheeky" enough to prevent looking matronly https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Such a beautiful bra! I love the grey and salmon-y pink. The shade of pink reminds me in a delicious way of the muted pinks of the 1940s. It is comfortable, easy on the eyes, and a great value, I think!

Here's my issue: when I put it on, it is perfect-feeling. A few minutes later, my boobs feel compressed all over, it feels like the wire has popped out of my IMF, and the sides of the wires are definitely sitting on breast tissue. Is it too small??? I find myself readjusting many many times throughout the day, which is annoying. Perhaps sizing up would be good.

Does anyone know what the british equivalents of Comexim's odd letter sizing is? This bra is an H. What is that in their sizing?
