Short review: I hate this bra. I hate how it looks more specifically. It performs similarly to an Elomi Caitlyn Underwire Side Support (8030) but worse overall in support. The band sizing seems ridiculously off (I could barely fasten the 32 but for some serious hand strength and I can wear 30s).

The only good thing is that the cups do seem like an L in size.

Overview: Bravissimo is the only major bra manufacturer to actually add an L cup to their lineup. Nobody but Panache (and their one terribly designed bra, the Harmony which I’ll be reviewing later)...

This bra is not owned any more

• I just spotted this bra on Ebay and had to check for reviews. I'm a bit confused by the band measurements, it sounds more like a 28 band! Did you buy it from Bravissimo directly? Is it possible that it was mislabelled?

• I bought it from Bravissimo directly but the band seemed SO short that I wonder if it wasn't just a mess up somewhere. It almost seemed like part of the band was really short (look at the left side in the picture in the review, it was so short on one side). I would hazard a guess that it was not intended to be so short, because I could barely fasten it at all. I'll also add that I'm terrible at stretched band measurements and have stopped doing them.

• So I noticed with my recent Bravissimo trials that many of their bands run a bit smaller than one expects besides on the Alana. (Okay I tried like 3 bras, but I found the Boudoir Beau and the Floral Haze to be surprisingly tight)
  I really think it's a good thing with the tight bands, more options for those at the end of the size range. But... 28inch on a 32 band? That is quite crazy.

• Normally, I'd say their bands and cups (except for the non-balconette cups) run only about one size down, so idk if that was intentional or not.
