Didn't think this bra would fit when I first saw it, but it does.
Has a firm band.
A very beautiful bra

Dessous Long Line Bra
This bra is amazingly soft and comfortable, and it provides a much more flexible fit than the regular Dessous. It's definitely a full cup, and is fairly narrow and projected. The wires are soft, and not very strong and the overall support level is not very high. I'm not at all impressed with the quality and would be livid if I had paid regular price for this. The elastic started to fray on the second wear, and the stitching and overall finishing just isn't great. But, it's an unlined longline and I've wanted one of those for forever.
The Claudette Dessous has been the one that got away to me for a long time. I ad

Oh these colors and style are so pretty! Unfortunately I had the same quality issues with my Dessous, but I'm especially mad about the quality of the elastic. I've only had the elastic fray on bras that were old and had been machine washed. So I don't plan on buying anymore Claudette's, even though this bra looks cute :(

It's such a shame that the quality isn't there because it's incredibly cute. It looks great on you.

The model could be wearing a smaller bra than her size, but I like the full cup on you nevertheless. I bought a few 2015 season bras with freying band fabric after only trying them on, so this quality issue might be more widespread. I found their band material ridiculously unsupportive, it is just the elastic on the borders that hold and I get a "sausage on the back" look. Would love to own a fitting Dessous, but no idea which size or year of model, colour etc to go for.

This bra is from SS15, so it's always possible it was an issue contained to that season. I think it's important to contact the company with such issues so that they can address them, and it's a better product for everyone. I'm sorry to hear so many of you have had quality issues as well! And yes, I found a bit of that too. To me though it's not any worse than Cleo or Freya. I've always felt that the big UK brands don't have a quality that corresponds to the new price.

I had a Cleo dessous from the first season that lasted really well. I'm thinking this might be more of a season issue. I've owned a couple from other seasons briefly- long enough to wash them a few times and I didn't have any issue with them. My main complaint is that the cut on the dessous has been tweaked season to season so I never know nichols color ways might work for me. I do wish all the companies would use bands with tension more similar their band elastic, some times it's almost unbearable - and Claudette elastic can be especially biting at the end of the day. Of all the bras I've tried nothing has had the longevity of my Cleo lily parrots. That thing has been indestructible!

Dessous Mesh Underwire Bra (CD2000)
Hoo boy. I am on a journey through cheap discontinued bras. Almost like there was a reason they were discontinued!
Orange. In. A glass!
I love the pictures of this bra - it looks like something a ballerina would wear, which is my bra "aesthetic". It's ~nude~ hallelujahhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
The material felt pretty rough actually. My 30FF - Panache ยป Loretta Plunge (6686) is much softer and more expensive feeling in the band and the mesh lace upper.
The straps were also really far apart and I have wide shoulders. They would just not work on narrow shoulders.
I had room in the bottom ... and sides of the cup and wrinkling on the bottom - probably not projected enough for me - but the gore was a good width. I guess my boobs are farther apart than the other reviewers of bras I'm researching.
About two thirds of my boobs were spilling over the top though! ;_; It was so major that with the straps just taken off I was STILL quadding.
Already put in for a return. It arrived in a completely destroyed bag, incidentally. I'm not sure what to send it back in..

Dessous Mesh Underwire Bra (CD2000)
Review for Alter ego/Elsa Pink color ...
After trying other colors of this bra, I accepted the fact that the bands ran super stretchy. And then this bra. The band hardly stretches to 27"! To cups are narrower at only 5", but the wires stretch easily and become super wide on me if I make this bra fit using an extender. I would recommend this to someone with a true 28" underbust or smaller, it's not cutting it for my 29-30" underbust.
This is the colorway I have been wanting for forever, and after trying this bra I believe a 30E will be a decent fit. It's so gorgeous. The pink is more hot pink than in stock photos. Ordered one already..Alter Ego/Elsa Pink colorway

Dessous Mesh Underwire Bra (CD2000)
I can't even get this bra around my waist since the stretched band measures only 27 inches! The cup also runs very wide even though my root is already on the wider side, so this bra is probably best for someone with a very wide root. This bra is also not for someone with a greater inner fullness since it gives me a quad boob effect.

Dessous Mesh Underwire Bra (CD2000)
The band is a bit on the smaller side, measuring just 27" so if you're a true 28 this probably won't fit nicely. The cups for me were a bit wide and shallow, while quadding at the top. I think it's a cute bra with the bright colors but sadly it's a no for me.

Too closed on top for my tall root and full-on-top breasts. It accommodates my centre fullness though. Sheerness is sexy as well!

Dessous Mesh Underwire Bra (CD2000)
There was a time when I wanted to own the Dessous in many colours. This one has always been pretty tight in he band so I haven't worn it much last summer. I gained some weight so it doesn't fit well now. I'd say it fits somewhere between a 28E and 28F, smaller fit than Eveden cups. Have matching briefs in size S - never worn.

Paloma Full Coverage
I got this in a 28f because I read that it runs small compared to the paramour. This bra seemingly doesn't have any stretch in the lower part of the cup. So even though I sized up, it's still too small.

I can't even close this bra. The band, underwires, and cups are way too small.
