The bra. It's really nice. Obviously pieced well and sewn with care. I have the 65DD and it's a good look. Nice round up front profile. My gore doesn't quite tack though, and I'm not sure if it's overall just a tad too small or if it's lacking enough projection along the gore. I also totally have period boobs right now and this may fit better next week. Either way, if I put the pads in, I'd spill right out.
It's really comfortable, like almost Comexim level. Cleavage is like "whoa". Seriously, my boobs look amazing and I feel a little Mulan Rouge.
The band is snug on the ... loosest of four eyes without being tight and the straps feel nice. The front of them is padded and thick. They're really soft and distribute support wonderfully well. The back of the straps are stretchy and seem to keep the adjuster in place decently. They are only half adjustable, which is annoying for me because I'm high set. I'll have to alter them at some point, but not yet.
Okay, so briefs, size 38.
~38" wide hip
~31" hipbone
~24" natural waist
~28" underbust
I'm fairly long-waisted for 5'4" and these come up to the bottom of the bra band. It just shows the tiniest bit of skin between the gore and the top of the briefs.
They are soft and comfortable and don't dig anywhere. They have mild flattening qualities in the front panel, but nothing like real shapewear.
They're a bit difficult to tug on, the top has that thick elastic and it didn't want to pass over my bum. But once on, they're fine. They come off fine too.
They are *warm*. Totally inappropriate for current weather, so they're going in my drawer for now.
I'm not really a pink girl. Especially not a hot pink girl, but I like this. The black netting really tones it down and it's more of a juicy raspberry color than an "OH MY EYES" hue.
Update 12/20/2015: Unfortunately this bra no longer fits me well. I've gotten firmer and this bra does not accommodate that at the wire. The gore doesn't even pretend to tack and my breasts do the best they can to climb out of the cups. My breasts are pushing the bra down out of my IMF and it sits on my ribs and causes pain. I'm collapsing the cup at the bottom and the band feels too tight. I have gained just enough size and enough firmness so that the DDs I could previously make work need to go to a new home. On the bright side, I was able to order this in a 65E, so I will still have this lovely set.

Queequeg0925 If you're still looking at it, I would consider getting a 65E. It does have the pads if it comes up too big.
