For being a 2 part seamed bra, the seams don't show very much through shirts. It's probably not the best for solid color t-shirts due to the seams, but it looks great under t-shirts that have a design on them. (FYI, it is lightly padded to prevent show-through.) The side profile has an awesome lifted rounded shape, and the front profile is front and center with no east/west action at all.

The band works well for me on the loosest hooks, not too tight, not too loose. The cups fit well, and while the lace doesn't lay flat, when you put a shirt on it flattens down and does ... not show. I do think this bra runs a bit small in the cups. My normal Panache size is a 30G, but the 30G Juna gave me the quad look. This 30GG fits nicely, so if you are considering this bra you may want to size up one cup size.

Though the straps are set extremely wide (coming off the cups at the very very edge), I haven't yet had any strap slippage. Unfortunately the straps do cut into my armpit a little bit, right at the point where the strap meets the cup.

Decided to return this particular bra as I found a better deal on a Cleo "Sadie", which is the same cut, just a different fabric.

I tried it but it ended up being too big and wrong shape wise. The cups were like half full on me. Currently set to give it away to someone's daughter.

Kinda strangely angled underwires on the side. Nice tan bra.

The band is too tight, I have to wear an extender. I also get a tiny bit of quadboob.
I've tried several sizes of this bra:
32G: straps too short
32GG: sides/wings too high
32FF: cups too small
30G: band too tight, cups too small

Update May 2015: The cups are now too small so I will be selling this bra.

Very soft materials. Seems shallower in the bottom than the Darcy (which has an additional vertical seam). Band is looser than unlined Cleos. The lace trim is pokier than Darcy's. Straps are only half adjustable and almost feel a little short. Gore is slightly too wide, will have to alter. The cups are wider than my roots. Very good warm beige colour - looks almost invisible on me when the lighting is right.

I found the 30G to be too small in the cups, and the wire too short.

The 30GG still gives me quadboob on the one side. It is slight, but enough to show through shirts.

The lace is not sitting nicely. It seems too big for the cup, flares out, and does not hug the curve. Wearing a shirt did not change the issue. If the lace had a bit of stretch, it would have probably worked out better. The lace attaches to the gore so for a proper alteration I would have to cut the lace and attach it to the back of the gore at an ... angle. Because of this I am not sure who I would recommend this bra to. I didn't notice this issue in the 30FF or 30G Juna/Darcy, maybe because I had so many other issues.

My shape is full on bottom/even. Wider roots.

The straps are partly adjustable. I had them adjusted all the way. If the bra had fit a bit better I would have needed to take in the straps for a good fit.

Still not a fan of the 2 hooks.

I am done with the Juna. I am going to try the Maddie.

EDIT: Once upon a time, I loved this bra, but as I experienced tissue migration and learned more about fit, it has become a torture device. It is too shallow and slides down, the wires are too wide, the straps were always too wide-set, but the too-high and too-wide gore has really become torturous for me... I still love the round, cakes-on-a-plate look, though.

This is by far the best bra I've tried. I have a high-set, round, even to slightly full on top bust with a lot of immediate projection, and I'm in love with the feel and appearance of this bra. ... I love the high, rounded shape (the silly lace on the top doesn't show through shirts), and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the bottom of the cups were deep enough for me. I tried it first in a 32G (my "regular" size is 32FF or 32G) and the cups fit perfectly but the band was too loose, even on the tightest hook. Sizing down to a 30GG worked great. The gore is a little bit too high for me, but the wires are a little shorter than the channel, so I was able to push them down and I might add a few stitches to keep them in place. I think the wires are also a tad bit wide, but not enough to feel like I'm losing support. The only thing I wish was different about this bra are the straps - the whole length of the strap is stretchy, but they only adjust part-way. I am very petite in terms of torso length, and I have them shortened all the way, which is okay for now, but if they stretch out much at all, I will have to alter them.

This is actually a smidgen smaller in the cup than my Darcy in the same size. Weird. But it still fits more or less like a dream.

I bought this bra because my boobs have grown. I have it in nude 32F but get quadroboob. I ordered it in 32FF and 32G and 30G and 30GG and in the end opted for 30GG. I think that was maybe a mistake. It might be the shape that is'nt right. It would propably fit better with firmer boobs than mine. In 32FF/30G I still had slight quadro boob under the lace edging which might mostly be because of my soft boobs and not because the cups are too small. I find the band is rather stretchy and thus I chose the 30 band. In hindsight I should ... have gone for the 30G because the center gore is rather painful which I think is because the cups are actually too big. The lace edging doesn't lay flat (everyone says this) but it's very loose on me in this size and it shows under clothes. It didn't show on my size 32F

Apart from this it is a nice bra. I like that the straps are covered in the same material as the cups and the cups are lined with jersey and very soft. The foam padding is soft and not too thick. The straps only adjusts halfway which might be a problem for some. IT gives a nice rounded and lifted shape and separates the boobs.

I got this a cup size larger than I normally order because I heard it runs small. It fits about perfect. I think the 30G would have been too small.

It has great coverage and light padding. It gives me a really rounded shape with pretty decent cleavage.

The fabric is very soft and smooth, it feels more expensive than it is.

The only issue I have with it is that the lace along the tops of the cups does not lay flat. It seems to disappear under clothes, but I worry about it poking out inappropriately.
