I like this bra - very useful basic and gives round shape under T shirts. (Note: I tend to prefer a pointy shape.) It's very supportive and beautifully made. As with all Empreinte bras, it does not stretch out of shape and it's quite comfortable. However, I purchased it in a 30F vs a 32F and I could really use the extra back and cup space. (Note: Empreinte designs every size (band as well as cup) with different wires with the recognition that as back size changes, proportions around cup shape do also...) I don't think I'd buy it again - not my fave look - but I do wear this one, albeit on days when I'm feeling less full in the bust. One other con: super pricey...
Beautiful, well-made, comfortable bra. I see what the fuss is about. BUT it doesn't lift my breasts where they should be. Maybe because I am so used to seamed cups, but the apex of my breasts was too low, and adjusting the shoulder straps didn't help much. And it was about 3 inches too low. If I' m going to spend that much on a bra (LOVE my Prima Donnas), everything had better be perfect. Sadly, I am returning this.
I don't care what this site says about it fitting or not, this is my most favourite bra, especially since I recently took in the band by.. umm.. 3 inches. Even though it's now cutting into the top of my breast a little. I honestly didn't notice till I took the pictures.
It is perfect. Comfortable, good shape, I don't even notice I'm wearing a bra when I have it on.
LOVE.
Well, everything except the price, which is about $160 Canadian. Which is why I only have one.
Cup-wise this bra probably fits me better than the Prima Donna bras that I like better. This bra has nice wide and slightly padded straps, 1 5/8 inches at the widest, and in the back the straps are 1 inch. The center gore almost sits on my sternum. I don't poof over the top of the cups at the end of the day as I do in other bras.
It's a lace bra, but it works well under a t-shirt as it isn't a stretch lace, and the lace is oddly smooth under clothing. The "rose" area of the lace is a great "mark" to put the nipples...
Something about this bra is uncomfortable for me though, I think it is how the wire sits on my rib. I wore it when I was sick and laying about all day, and it created a raw spot on my skin over my rib. I have this bra on for half an hour and I want to take it off.
