    Hasn't set fit

    Very tight in the band, as noted elsewhere, and the cup may also run a bit large -- I seem to do best in a 32G in Freya/Fantasie/Fauve. It has lots of room on top but also quite a lot of projection/depth (not too shallow at bottom), and gives a very front and center, lifted, yet very round look. I'm very firm and dense, quite projected with both top and bottom fullness, moderately narrow root, splayed, and wideset; I'm always trying to avoid east-west as well as southerly drag. This is a very pleasing effect, available for a small fraction of the price of Empreinte.

    (Note: Bratabase won't let me enter that it fits without doing the whole measurement rigmarole, but it does fit.)

      It won't let you set fit information if you haven't added your profile(breast) measurements, this is because without them the fact that "it fits" is useless for the system as it cannot be used to compare with any other entry.
      When you add fit information it uses the profile measurements to know that this bra fits such numbers and that's what keeps the wheels rolling.

      Oh, that totally makes sense. But I'm an ox with a measuring tape, I find it hard to get the same numbers twice in a row and it's crazymaking. I should make an effort though, I know.

    Fits

    I adore this bra. I got it a few months ago, when I was a 34F (I've gone down a band size, and seem to have gone up a cup size -- though I'm not sure, because different brands size differently) and when I wear it on the tightest row of eyes, it fits me perfectly still.
    I'm top-heavy, and unlike most models I've tried this one doesn't cut in at all, but I manage to fill it out entirely. The wires don't poke, it's super comfortable.
    It gives a very nice rounded shape, and there's loads of forwards projection - no east-west splaying happening here! After three months of ... fairly constant wear (I rotate it in every two or three days, to give the elastic time to rest) it's still in excellent condition (no pilling or signs of wear anywhere except the tag). Gives a lot of uplift, too, and because of the print and colours it's nice and cheerful to get ready in in the mornings https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> I wear it when I know I need to feel confident in how I look.
    This is easily my favourite bra, and I'm considering buying another - probably in my current size, though I might wait until it starts to go on sale. I'm probably going to cry when it wears out.

    Pros:
    Great for fuller on top breasts, firmer breasts, and rounded breasts
    Funky pattern https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
    After a few wears the seams smooth out so it's possible to wear this bra under a T-shirt and not have it be too noticeable (especially if it's darker or with a pattern on it).
    Very firm band
    Very high quality fabric
    Due to the lace section, a lot of the breast is encased, so it feels secure, but it doesn't feel stifling because it's a thinner material
    Cons:
    Visible under lighter shirts
    The seam where the lace attaches to the blue fabric can be a bit puckery (though it generally smooths out - I've only noticed this right after a wash, and it smooths out in an hour or two after putting it on)
    The yellow berries are more green in real life, if anyone is ordering this online. I was slightly surprised by that.
    The straps are tough to adjust - though this does mean they don't slip throughout the day, which is always a plus! Just difficult to get the strap to slide through the plastic bit. They are fully adjustable though.

    Really cute bra in fun colours. I like that i takes my wide set breasts and holds them more up front. I always feel skinnier in this bra!

    I've been pining over this bra for ages, so when I found it at Nordstrom Rack I had to buy it. It's SO cute. My complaints: The straps are barely long enough, the wires are too short on the outside, and the band is a little narrow.

    I cannot get over how cute this bra is.
