I got this PL Onyks off eBay and despite some minor fitting issues, I love it.
One issue I found after wearing it for a few hours is that the gore digs into my chest a bit too much. I had this same exact issue with a 70FF - Ewa Michalak » Pl Eden (184) and I fixed it the same way I did with the Eden, which was to bend the wires until it fit comfortably. The other issue I have is that I wish the straps could be shortened more. Don't get me wrong, I love the comfort straps! But I can only adjust ... them halfway. I'll have to play around with them, maybe try crossing them over in the back, since the straps are detachable. The bra came with just the comfort straps so I don't know how the other straps would have worked.
Good news: no quadboob! My boobs do seem to "settle in" after a few hours, weighing down the cups a tad though. But I've come to expect this in all plunge styles that aren't molded cups, with the exception of Comexim. If I use the pads, I do get some quadboob, so I guess if I want to highlight my assets lol I can use these pads, otherwise the bra works just fine without them!
The cups are a black jersey fabric lined with black cotton, very comfortable to the touch. The band tightness is perfect. I like this bra, but I don't think I'll be getting any more PL style EM bras because of the gore issue.
[ETA]: I find the straps are much better when I cross them over in the back! So this bra will be good for racerback tops and the like. Plus the cleavage is kind of spectacular https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_surprised.gif" alt=":o" />!
