This is an absolutely beautiful bra, and I wish it fit me, but the cups are definitely too small, and I get quad-boob as well as spillage under the arms.

I want to love this bra more than I actually can because of fit issues. The 32 band is rather uncomfortably tight, and the cups are juuuust too small. I think a 34 E or F would fit me much better.

This is my second try of this particular style. I have tried this bra in 32DD. The 32E is a much better fit in the cup with no quad-boobing. There is nude ribbon that goes from the gore along the edge of the moulded cup (between it and the lace section) to a third of the way up the strap ending in a bow. This ribbon has to go, as where it in sewn onto the strap the stitching drives me to distraction irritating me! Other than that it's a good quality bra.

Nice bra but runs about a size large in the band and cup.

As I'm sure everyone else ever has said, this one is definitely tight in the band. I'm a solid 30 and this band feels firm and tight on me. Definitely round up on this one. The cups are slightly too small for me--i kept feeling the need to scoop everything in again and the sides were painful. It's a beautiful bra and very well-constructed, but go up a size for sure!

I think this bra is pretty amazing if you have the right shape for it. This is the first time I've encountered a wireless bra that has the "only vertical seam" cup construction. This makes the bra really great if you have shallow breasts, but it would probably be terrible on someone with really projected breasts. Since I have shallow breasts, it's wonderful for me.
I ordered the Blue Glass/Insignia Blue color. In many photos, it looks like the lace and main parts of the bra are white with dark blue straps and accents, which is not how the bra appears in real life. In actuality, the lace/main body ... of the bra is a light turquoise.
I will update this with a full, more detailed review later. Some points I mean to touch on:
-Vertical seams can be seen through clothing
-6 columns of hooks
-A-frame drop cup for nursing
-half of the A-frame is just a skimpy piece of lace? seems weird.
-Runs 1 cup size small, even taking into consideration the shallow aspect.
-nice and stretchy
-straps too far apart for me. Alterations planned.

I usually wear a 30E (65E) and I got this in a 32E (70E). The band runs pretty tight, as I can wear this on the loosest hook! Anyway, the fit is perfect except for the the side:I get slight wrinkling in the lower sides of both cups, despite my filling out the cups well in other places.
This bra offers good support. It's comfortable and doesn't poke anywhere. I usually don't have see-through or unpadded bras, so this one might take some getting used to. I love the way it looks without clothes (and so did the bf!), but I'm not 100% in love with the shape under ... clothes: from the back, it's awesome because there are no lines or bulging, and it's decent from the front (no huge uplift but no visible bra lines or anything), but from the side I think it looks a little... sloppy? I don't know. My 30E - Cleo ยป Juna (6461) gives a much cleaner, tighter, perkier shape. I might look for the contoured version of this bra, that they didn't have in-store when I bought this.
I got this bra on sale, so I am not too worried about the durability for the price I paid, but the bra itself seems sturdy even though the lace looks pretty delicate.

I own the 32E in a couple of colourways now, and this black/rose one fits me differently than the other two.
The cups are wider and shallower. The band also seems tighter, although the numbers indicate it isn't -- perhaps the tightness is simply because of boob being squeezed under the band by the shallow cups.

Band runs tight (I'm normally a 30, but I can wear the 32 in this on the loosest hooks without it riding up). The cups are too small: once I've swooped and scooped I quadboob even a little on my smaller breast - but sizing up to the 32F, while it fixed the cup volume, resulted in too high a gore for my close-set boobs.

Very pretty but the band is made of some weird material that's pretty stiff. The cups are also a bit shallow for me so there's some wrinkles.

Very beautiful, but after a days wear, I realized that my breastbone stuck out too much for it and the top of the gore was digging in.

The band seems really tight, and they quadraboob in towards one's cleavage because of the narrow gore.

If you've read any of my other reviews you'll know I've had trouble with Elle Macpherson bras not fitting consistently. This is still the case, however this bra fits perfectly. The 32E size is 32DDD in US sizing but it's marked 32E for US sizes so I left it at that when filling the details. Having tried on other bras in the same size recently I can say that this band fits a little tighter than some of the other models, but not nearly as tight as Elle Macpherson bras used to.

Band is way too big even on the tightest. Just rides up on the back.
Shoulder straps are too far apart. To the level where it would fall off my shoulder.
Cup def runs small. Went up a size and fits perfect.
