I got major quadboob in size 28F, while the 28G was too big in the cup. I didn't get to try the 28FF, which would probably be a perfect fit. Full review on my blog.

Etta is one of my favorite bras ever. I love the dainty floral print, the super soft lightly padded cups, and the smooth satin finish. It worked surprisingly well for my pendulous, FoB breasts and short roots. The 28G was too big in the cup after losing some weight and the 28F - Bravissimo » Etta Longline (LN412) was too small. It's now my goldilocks bra as I think I need a 28FF for the fit to be just right. The three-part, padded plunge style is reminiscent of a Comexim plunge bra. I've put more details and a full review of the fit of both sizes on my blog, plus a brief review of the 28FF - Bravissimo » Satine Bra (AU15), the cut on which Etta is based, for comparison. I hope to try the new pink colorway as well.
The Bravissimo Etta Longline has been on my must-have list for months ...

lcl0706 Yep, I am still looking for a bra with enough room at the wire *and* the apex. At least the softness of this cup material lends a little more give down there.
This cup construction is PERFECT. They fit me like how I wish my Comexim plunges would fit. I will definitely be picking up a Satine after trying this.
The wires are nicely narrow and cups are deep enough and shockingly don't gape on my short roots. They are very soft and lined with cotton. The wire channels are covered in a very soft material as well.
The band construction is similar to a Freya longline, it doesn't continue very far below the cups in the front and has no boning to keep it straight so it wrinkles on me.
My problem with this bra? As soon as I ... looked at it, I knew the sizing was amiss--this band is very large. It lays at 28 in and stretches to 34, making it run a whole band size large. Definitely size down in the band. I will have to contemplate whether to exchange it for a 30FF.
As a note, the panties run a bit large as well, again like Freya sizing. I ordered the large but I definitely could have gotten away with a medium.

Yay, so glad you reviewed this. And short roots friendly, too! I've been meaning to try it. Are the cups padded at all or just lined? I was hoping it would be at least as padded as a Freya half cup longline.
letstalkaboutbras It's got a flexible padding, similar to the Freya half cups. I thought it would be stiff but it isn't at all.
wild_muses Thanks! Now I really must get to Bravissimo this week if at all possible :)
wild_muses If you keasured the gore height from where a band typically ends vs where the long line ends, how tall is the gore? It looks delightfully short :-) :-) Thanks!
Love4Pollinators It's about 2.5 inches to the bottom of the wire.
I bought this pre-loved from eBay, I don't think it's been sold in the shops for quite a while. I thought it would fit the same as my Satine 30F but the fit is slightly different, the cups seem to have more depth in them. This works out better for me as my Satine 30F was too shallow, although the wires were the right width. The wires are also short so they don't dig in to breast tissue at the front or come up too high into the armpit.
This bra is really comfortable and looks pretty.

This is such a gorgeous bra & I've always wanted to try Satine cuts for the low gore but always figured they wouldn't have enough room at the wire like 95% of bras
