Very weird fit on me indeed, I'll leave it to the pictures to show (and also, hello breast asymmetri: Rarely is it THAT obvious) I'd say it could only work for someone with soft boobs with a large base, yet most volume at the apex.

The cups come up quite high at the straps, which is placed much further from the armpit than I'm used to.

The band is quite snug - not a whole band size difference, but definitely go with your larger band size.

The cups are very, very stiff - you could almost hear a knocking when knocking on it - and I could ... balance stuff on top of the cup on the table, without it collapsing, so again, good for soft boobies I'd say. And, you could double it as a strapless if you tuck in the straps, it doesn't change much shape from it, and felt rather stable.

It's very simple, very practical - the only ornaments are the little bow, and a shiny trim to the bottom of the band - even the straps are seamless! Would be very very smooth under clothing, and the material also feels smooth and non-clingy.

I just found my new all-time favorite bra, and will be ordering more ASAP!

The straps are a very soft with a firm stretch and are fully adjustable. I also find that the area of the cup that comes up under the armpit where it meets the strap in the front more comfortable, I don’t feel like the straps are going to fall off my shoulders. The center gore comes up high enough that my breasts don’t wiggle out the center of the bra during the day. The band has three rows of hooks keeping the band firm and in place all day, I feel that the band ... has equally distributed elastic on the top of the band and the bottom of the band so there is no digging in. I can wear this bra on the loosest hooks and have a firm fit. This bra gave me a great shape under a tight fitting shirt. I will be writing Bravissimo a letter encouraging them to make this bra in every color of the rainbow and then some.

*I’d like to say that this bra fits similarly to the Freya Deco, only better. The color nude is almost identical to that of the Freya Deco nude color. I can wear this bra on the loosest hooks, with the Deco I have to wear it on the middle or tightest hooks.*

This bra has such a weird name. At first glance, it seemed like it would make a great t-shirt bra because of the smooth satiny finish and no seams. Maybe for someone else. It was such a weird shape on me. It flattened my boobs out a lot, pushing them flat up on my chest. My larger side looked like it was dented from the side. The fitter said there's no other bra like it in their collection - a cross between a balcony and t-shirt bra. The gore is a bit low and reminded me of how my very soft boobs look in the 30GG ... - Cleo » Neve Plunge T-shirt Bra (7196) when I first put it on, just sort of squished down and touching above the gore. I felt like they could easily spill out above the gore like in the Neve with a few minutes' wear. On top of that, it was also too high at the sides. I am guessing it was too shallow for me because of the squished-flat appearance. Only plus is that it really was seamless.

This bra seems to have a minimising effect, as the shape holds the breasts in - it does have the effect of making them look... wider

I can't seem to fill the bottom, outside part of the cups, which seems to be partly due to the shape of the bra, rather than the size

This is the worst bra I've ever tried! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Literally. And I cannot even blame it on the wrong size. I so thought I'd finally found the bra to make my lingerie wardrobe complete but it was really just a waste of money ordering it.

The band is nice and snug, some of the better in my size for me, and I'm usually between a 26 and a 28-band. There is "just" three settings in the back but they are about twice the distance apart to usual which will make it more adjustable than most bras. The elastic is wide and the ... band is very comfortable.

The cups however... I've uploaded pictures to show how triangular it is. Now, I do need the wires to go to the middle of my sides approximately, so this triangular thing isn't really something I worry about, but in this case... The back doesn't have much stretch so it is close to this triangular when wearing it as well.

The cups are so wide that they reach to the edge of my back almost. They are also so shallow that there is no room at all at the bottom of the cups when they need to reach around me and bend with my ribcage. No room at all. The armhole are cut so straight and are so high that my arms are pushing the bra down creating even more wrinkles, apart from it trying to cut of my arm. Not rub a bit or be in the way when I reach forward. Cutting off.

At the same time the cups are too small in the front. It is cutting painfully into my boobs at the cleavage because my breast tissue just doesn't fit into the cups. I'm quite shallow and wide, but this bra is waaaay too shallow and wide even for me. The siluette is really east/west and, the most minimizing/flattening I've had in a very long time. With a top on it looks like I'm in my Shock-Absorber... https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_confused.gif" alt=":S" />

It is definitely going back. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone close to my size. Might be better in other sizes but in a 28J there is just something serious wrong with it.

This bra... is a conundrum. First off, I get enormous wrinkling at the bottom. It is insanely noticeable. No quadraboob though. Yay? I guess my boobs are a bit too close for the center gore, so it doesn't want to lay flat.

I'd say this is about as opposite to an Ewa bra as you can get! It does a pretty good job of smashing my breasts flat to my chest. Not a bad thing at all, in fact I have been wanting a bra that fits properly like that.

The fabric on this bra is a dream! Seriously, I wish all my bras had amazingly soft fabric like this one!

I am kinda tempted to keep it even though there is so much wrinkling at the bottom and the gore doesn't lay flat. Other than those problems and the fact that it feels like it is lacking a bit in the support department, I am just so tempted to like it.

This bra is definetely too small on me but I might have some shape issues, too.
Major quadboobing, empty space at the bottom of the cups and the centre gore sat on my breast tissue.
Compared to a Freya Deco Strapless, this bra's beige seems slightly orange/flesh-toned, not brownish.
I can't really say that much about it, sorry, it was just so small on me.
Maybe this bra is better suited for women with wide-set breasts?

What a disappointment. I was so hoping that I could finally wear moulded bras again but alas this just did not work. If you want an extreme minimizer this is the bra for you. I looked so small from the profile and from the front I look wide. It pushed my breast to the sides towards the armpits. On the plus side I would say its true to Bravissimo's sizing and it was so comfortable. It also had great coverage and held the girls in place but not too high up so you can wear a v-neck with this bra. Sadly I have to return this bra because its just too minimizing of a shape and too east-west for me. I guess I have to stick with seamed bras to pull the girls forward.
