Joanna emailed me when I purchased this to be sure I wanted it as she warned it would not be supportive enough for breasts my size. It wasn't really surprising when she turned out to be right!
First, the pros:
This is a beautiful bra. I love the lace, the color, and the look of it, and it’s sewed and finished well. It also seems to mostly stay in my imf, so it’s got some projection at the wire. The gore is nice and low. It’s also comfortable, though that’s partially because of how stretchy the lace is, which brings me right to the not so good.
The cons:
The lace is ... so stretchy that the band stretched immediately to 48 inches and offered no support whatsoever. It also has uneven tension from the top to the bottom of the band (possibly in an attempt to make it suitable for a fat person?) and I don’t love the five hook closure as much as I thought I would. The front of the longline rolls immediately up due to my big round belly, though I sort of suspected that would happen.
The cup is very wide and the wires did not tack at all. I replaced the wires and shortened the band and now get a quite firm tack, but it just seems to be designed for boobs the opposite of mine - there’s wrinkling at the outer sides of the cup, and I almost but not quite fall out the middle of it.
It gives a very natural, slightly splayed appearance to my breasts. It has some support, but it does not hoist my breasts up or round them in any particular way, and they hang slightly over the wire. I’ve actually been wearing it around the house as a lounge and sleep bra, and it’s been pretty great for that. And as a center full lady, the almost but not quite falling out the center gives me some pretty great weekend cleavage!
Bottom line: Best suited for those with outer fullness, average to wide roots, who require low gores. Does not provide as much support as Comexim’s other offerings.

It is beautiful, and I am really surprised they didn't sew a backing onto the band like they did on my Vogue Purple.
