AW2013-AW2014 - Unpadded balconette with a decorative ribbon at the cups; available in multiple colors and prints

This bra is discontinued.
Getting in-cup quadding at the seams and the gore doesn't quite tack. Seems to have a square-ish shape on me. The gore is very narrow, with overlapping wires.
This would be good for someone who has short, close set breasts, but alas, I think you need firmer breast tissue for this one.
Me: short & narrow roots, center full, close set, pendulous, petite, short waisted, low set, fairly even fullness, narrow shoulders, soft

This bra is a miracle worker. THis is the first time in my 50+ years that I have ever had an uplifted and round shape. I've always been pendulous and so normally get a more pointed shape, never rounded. Unfortunately, it is too small with quading in the larger cup and the wire does not tack on the larger side. So sad...so, so sad.

First of all, it's a beautiful bra. I love the pink mesh with the blue contrast.
The band is a bit loose, but t's okay when I hook it on the tightest hook. The cups fit and fill fine, I fill them, although there's a bit of wrinkling near the top of the cup after I scoop and swoop.
I marked the wires as being too short on the sides, it's not like my tissue escapes, but I feel like they are short for some reason. Maybe I'm more used to taller wires on the side, I don't know. It feels comfortable as an everyday bra anyway.
The gore is pretty high, and it tacks, but it's really comfortable, the wires are not as hard as in most bras I've tried.
I really like this bra, and I might try it at some point in a band size down.

The pink Lily fits pretty much the same as my other 32FF Lily in the parrot print, which is to say it doesn't. This one seems to be older than the parrot one, though, and the age definitely shows in the fabric and band stretchiness.

I think Lily will always be a shape mismatch for me. In theory it should work - it used to be widely considered the diagnostic bra to try for narrow, projected, and even shapes - but it just doesn't. I've tried several different sizes over several sets of body measurements, but all of them are pretty much the same on me - in-cup quad with an empty top section. I could size down a cup to fill the top section, but then the quad would look even worse. Then there are the strange wrinkles on the sides of the cups... really not sure what causes those.
It's really a shame because the parrot print version is super cute, and sturdy, too. This bra was apparently quite used when I bought it, but you can hardly tell.

Too wide gore, too tall/ closed cups.

This is a cute bra but the cups have no stretch. My soft tissue does better in cups with stretch so that the asymmetry is remedied and the cup actually has the appearance of fitting. Since this cup has no stretch, the top edges just stand up and my tissue is settled below it. Maybe a smaller cup would work but I'm not going to try it.

Surprisingly this bra fits me in the cups. I was worried it was going to be a little big, but it's not. There's a little room on my smaller side though. I wish I tried this sooner. I didn't try it because I thought it would fit similarly to the Cleo Maya
The band on this is a little too loose for me, but that could be because the band is stretched out from wear.
From trying the bra on to take pics, I think the fabric is a little on the scratchy side

I have swan colorway, and that was love from the first sight. The band is true to size, but the cups run bigger ( at least 1 cup bigger) and I have wrinkling at the top. I'm going to alter the cups ( to make them smaller) but even with this problem bra looks very nice and gives very round form under clothes.

Me: narrow, projected, FoT, close-set, center-full, soft tissue.
Good feeling of support. I see more fit issues than I feel. Gore a finger-width of tacking. In-cup quadding along the cup seams (the joys of soft tissue), center-quadding. Cups seem to be open enough, and band feels nice and firm. I adore the colors. Up a cup size or 2 would probably be a better fit, but this bra is discontinued so it's impossible to find.
