So pretty on the hangar, but . . . this bra was a weird fit for me. Although I fit into the cups, they seem too tight and yet the inside edges at the center of the apex don't lay flat - the lace isn't stretchy like the Panache Andorra, for instance. The design seems to flatten my breasts outwards in a sort of minimizing fashion. Looking at the bra laid flat, it appears that the cups are very wide and shallow so it makes sense that the fabric pushes my soft, round boobs into a sort of east/west pancake shape. The vertical seams are ... placed too far to the outsides to provide any lift for me. This is a perfect example of "just cause it fits don't mean you oughtta wear it" and I'm not convinced that it serves the intended purpose in this cup size.

I like that the band is a little wider in back, but it only has 2 hooks. The band is very firm (I've heard this brand runs smallish in the band) so the 34 is perfect for me. The wider, tighter band with only 2 hooks seems like a bad combination to me; a 3rd hook would make for better distribution of the stress placed on each hook. I can easily see one of these 2 hooks coming out prematurely which is why I didn't give an "excellent" quality rating.

I like the contrasting trim colors - it is pretty. I like the look and feel of the stitched-on underband. (I'm firmly in the banded-bra category; I don't own any unbanded bras.) I feel confident that it would be comfortable in the band, but that I would ultimately spill into the center if I wore it all day.

The fabric is exquisite. The bra seems well constructed. The lace isn't itchy. The band is snug. The wires are far too wide. The gore is also too wide.

The most uncomfortable part about this bra is that the straps are too wide for my shoulders.

Strap placement is a bit wide and the gore can sit a bit firmly at times.

Very soft and comfy, but too big for me in every way.

This is a very nice nursing bra, I think it would make a great sleep bra as it's very comfortable! It might be supportive enough for regular day wear in the proper size. The cotton is very soft and the lace is so soft and stretchy, it doesn't feel at all like lace.
Unfortunately, this bra fits more like an F cup, it is just too small for me (normally I wear a 34FF right now). The band fits fine on the tightest hook. so I don't need the 6 columns of hooks it comes with. I would recommend sizing down in the band at least one size, and up in the cup at least one as well, maybe two.
I think this bra would be really great in the proper size. I'll edit this if I can get one that fits and figure out how much to size up/down.
