I got this bra in the Tangerine colorway because it was on sale and this was the only color with matching underwear. My first impressions: the lace is pretty and the fabric of the lace, mesh, and lining feels soft and not scratchy. I like the polka dots. The bra is lovely and made of good materials.

The only thing I dislike about the bra so far is the strap design. The straps are a little weird and cause wrinkling on the right slide near where the strap and armhole meet - it's pulling in a weird way. I wasn't sure if maybe the cup was too big, ... but after trying it on again, I think it's probably the cut of the bra because it seems to fit well otherwise. This is the first bra where I've noticed a difference between my left breast and my right.

The projection and shape under clothes is nice and rounded. I really like the way it looks! The gore tacks great, too. I have close-set breasts, so sometimes the top of the gore floats for me unless the upper gore width is narrow. I recommend it for anyone who has naturally joined breasts or boobs with very little separation. If you need good projection and can't fit some of the narrower bras, this is a good one to try.

After wearing it all day, I'll say it's a keeper. I thought that I might have issues with it because of the slight wrinkle near the strap and a tiny bit of rolling on the bottom of the band, but it is very comfortable. I think the rolling is more to do with a thinner elastic strip on the band compared to my Elomi bras. I would consider buying this bra again.

This one is bad for me. Huge gaps near the top of the gore near the center and all the lace wrinkles. Did not have a problem filling out the bottom of the cup. The gore reaches to the top of my breasts (but tacks!) and looks like a wrinkly full cup on me. Have a touch of gapping on the sides near the wire and strap.

This size gives me some gaping at the top of the cup, and the underwires stab me in the armpit. Everything else about it feels great!

This was my first bra after finding my true size, and it's just about perfect!

I'll start with my one negative: I'm short, 5 feet even, and big busted(full on top). That being said, the under wires were almost to my armpit, so I had to take them out and give them a good trim, maybe about an inch. After that, perfection! Another very small negative would be a teensy bit of the lace up top kind of puckering, but it's so small that I don't notice it, and you can't see it unless you're looking for it.

The positives: I get GREAT support from this bra. I was worried ... since I'd always used padded bras, but I don't feel like I'm unsupported or going to bounce around when wearing it. Everything is an extremely comfortable fit, the gore is nice and flat on my skin, and the straps are sturdy and don't move around. The bra is a mix between snug and tight, but not uncomfortable.

So if you're a bit shorter, I'd be weary of purchasing unless you're comfortable with altering it. For a first bra, this was a great pick, and I will definitely continue to use this bra for many years

I really love this bra! I have worn it almost daily for a few months now, and the back hasn't stretched out too noticeably. My breasts fill the cups nicely and the lace at the top doesn't cut in at all. My breasts are rounded and projected forward.

The biggest problem with this bra is that the underwires cut in painfully under my arms. I can't tell if it is because they are too high or too low, as I am a bigger girl so I have a lot of flesh to cut into. I'm not sure how to make it better. I ended up sewing some padding onto one side because it was so pokey.

I wish this bra came in more colors.

Love it! Everything is front and center, lifted and projected. Looks great. I wish the underwires came up a bit higher on the sides because some tissue is escaping up top and it pokes a bit, but with this shape I can take it.

At first I loved this bra, but after a few hours of wearing it I realized the underwires are far too short for my long torso. The cups fit nicely as well as the band, the gore tacked tightly, and is quite high, but nothing I couldn't adjust to. However, the underwires are almost an inch shorter than their channels, and I noticed just how badly they were poking me in the side after a few hours of wear. It may be worth mentioning that I have lost 85 lbs in the last year, so I have LOTS of squishy fat. I am still losing, so if the band looks a little snug, that is why. However, the underwires are pretty painful, I do believe this will get returned.

This was a lucky first purchase. It encloses my full breast and has no spillage at the top. The first few hours the straps were tight, but by the second wear it was comfortable and sitting well. It gives a wonderfully round forward shape. This is a great bra if you are (quite) full on top and need projection throughout the cup, but especially immediately.

So, this bra is about 2 cups larger than the Cacique bras I own, according to the bra size chart. However, being full on top, I had some serious gaping at the top of this cup on both sides. Usually my larger side has quad-boob and the other side is wrinkling. This bra comes up very high in the gore and presses very painfully after just a little time of wear. The wires do not fully encase my breast tissue. I have "on the side" breasts and I need a bra to help bring that tissue over to the front, this bra's wire were cutting into my sides quite painfully. I took my Cacique bra in a 38F and put it with this one and the Cacique bra is about 1.5 inches wider on the side. Weird.

I love this bra! It runs true to size and fits me really well. It's got great support, and it doesn't make my boobs look pointy. The seams aren't noticeable under most tops, so it works with most outfits.

The only drawback is that the underwires go up a little too high into the armpits for my body. They poke a little bit, and I have to adjust them occasionally throughout the day.
