Hot bra! My husband LOVES this one and wants me to get another in a smaller size! Fits similarly to a Masquerade Rhea, but with a thicker band. I'd say it's taller overall. Great for tall roots or full on top breasts because it leaves room for spillage. Nice, firm band and flexible molded 2-part cups.

My boobs aren't quite filling out the top. The lace along the top is a little thick, I definitely can't wear this under my thinner tops. Still kind of cute.
Update 6/19/16: This bra has grown on me a bit. It's still kind of weird and chunky, but it definitely works for that period when I'm avoiding washing my favorite bras. One thing I've noticed is that it really does separate my boobs, so low necklines tend to show off a lot more of the bra when I lean over than they probably should.Black/Blush colorway

I really wanted to love this bra - it's really really pretty, from reviews it sounded like it should suit my shallow breasts, I found it as an Ebay bargain, and when I tried it on at first it looked really good, if with a little bit of gaping at the top/m of the cup (the cups are *very* open). Sadly the first time I wore it all day it became less and less comfortable, the gore felt way too high and kept digging into me, it gaped even more in the middle, and I eventually took it off in a fit of BRA RAGE.
Possibly I'm just wearing the wrong size, but I suspect the style is just wrong for me. Boo.Updated on Apr 30, 2016 Flag this

I have very broad shoulders and was surprised at how wide-set these straps on this bra are. Can't imagine how this would work on a woman with more normal or narrow shoulders. Band is also quite firm which is rather uncomfortable for me because I have very little padding around my ribcage. Overall look is flirty and fun, though, and it gives a sexy and uplifted "cakes on a plate" appearance. But I can't imagine wearing this for more than a few hours for date night with my husband.

This is one of my most favorite bras I have tried on so far. I love the fabric and design of this bra. It was narrow and projected enough for me! Sadly it doesn't work because the straps are too far apart, and how it sits on me causes gaping in the center (due to straps angling inwards). When the straps are on straight, they rest on my shoulders, and the gaping goes away. The cups were too small, major quadboob. I'm fairly certain this would fit me in a larger cup, and if the straps were more inward,I would try it. Sadly for me, this is another case of I need a smaller band size/less wide straps. I got it in the ruby/spice colorway and it's gorgeous!

Oh how I wish this bra were compatible to my boobies. It's just far too narrow and wide. Fairly no projection. I did buy this bra knowing it would not fit but I still wanted to give it a try. But golly, I love all the black lace the dangling rhinestone in the center gore. The small lace detail by the hooks. But alas it's not for me. The gore did not tack. The band was comfortably tight, I think it was a small 32 more like a 30 But what do I know, I've never tried a 30 band.. Omg the best part, was the straps they adjusted the whole way. Why can't all bras just have that type of straps?

November 2015: Haha, I guess that as I continue to find bras that fit me more and more, the more and more lazy I become about leaving a review.
https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> I mean, if it fits near perfectly, what more is there to say?!
I guess a few tiny fit issues: the wires are like a quarter of an inch too narrow and/or a bit too stiff. When I first pull the wires back as I swoop and scoop, it fits perfectly, but the wires are very stiff and don't want to bend out of shape, so eventually they relax back to their ... rigid shape and sit right on the edge between my breast root and chest wall, where I'd rather have it sit right behind it. The cup depth/projection fits my left side perfectly, but for some reason, even with a cookie added to the right side, there's like an eight of an inch gap right over my apex. Maybe the cup lace/seam is just shaped a tiny bit weirdly? This bra gives me a great shape under shirts, and gives me a slightly narrower profile from the front view than the Maddie. It does a good job at pushing my wide-set tissue forward and up. If you compare my Maddie 28FF angle view and this bra's angle view, you can see I have more projection here. My side view pictures is weird, I must have been arching my back or something, because I get more side projection as well but it's hard to see that. Maddie is still my all-time favorite, mostly because slightly too-wide wires is more comfortable than slightly too narrow, but this is definitely my second favorite bra. I bought this bra on a trip to The Pencil Test in Portland, OR (if you live within a few hundred miles, go there!!! Just look at the Yelp rating and reviews!!
Sorry the review was a very large and unorganized block.

Just a quick review, will update later.
This comes up large in the back, deffo go down a cup size. I think it's a tiny bit narrow in the cups for me, but not overly so. In general, the size is too small for me, but I fluctuate greatly (breastfeeding) So this bra is perfect for my more deflated days when I need something smaller.
The shape was fabuloius for someone all out front like myself, minimal overspill and no having to poke boobies back down. Comfortable, semi-enclosed cups. This bra gives a fantastic shape under clothes and a decent lift and level of support. The back is comfortable and a good strap length.
Sadly the wires poked through 5-10 wears, which is often the case for meUpdated on Oct 26, 2015 Flag this

This is the most beautiful bra that I have ever seen. I liked it so much that I hunted down the right size, 28E, from the UK, and in the black/blush color that I liked so much.
There's too much space near the gore, no amount of swooshing and scoping is going to help me out there because I have *nothing* there. If you had even *something* there, it would probably fit you just fine, but I have near a whole hand worth of space between my boobs.
It is also amazing in quality, and just feels really, really nice. It has thick straps as well.This bra is not owned any more
