Feels very robust and supportive, almost architectural, like a work of structural engineering. Side wires and centre gore come up a bit high on me (I'm 5'2, with a short torso), so definitely not for low-cut tops. I'd say my main issue with this bra is the high, substantial centre gore. I haven't noticed the lace on the cups wrinkling on me. Comfortable band, but only a double hook. Thick, comfortable straps - however the giant bows on the strap show when I wear tank tops - I'm contemplating cutting the bows off, there might be a bit too much bow for me (there's bows on the back as well). There's some free-range lace below the band that flip up when I move around/sit/live. I don't feel like this bra lifts my boobs or gives me cleavage, but it definitely supports, encases and decorates.
Overall effect with matching shorts is very, very pretty. The coral is a particularly lovely colour for darker skin.
This bra fits quite well, and is surprisingly comfortable. I'm actually a little concerned that it will stretch out and stop fitting as well, limiting its lifespan, because it is so comfortable out of the box. Unfortunately, this is the smallest band size made in this line - I'm pretty sure this would not be a concern if this were a 30-band. The only odd thing is that the cups are fully lined with mesh, and while the mesh on the top of the cup lies flat on me, the overlying lace wrinkles. However, it should be an easy fix to tack them flat. I rated this bra's appearance as "good" simply because the giant bows are not strictly to my taste, but for the price, fit, and comfort level, I can just take them off!
This is a sister size for me so I have to wear it on the tightest hook, but it seems comfortable and fits well on my somewhat wide/shallow build. The lace is soft and rich looking, and the black/purple color scheme is lovely. The shape under clothes looks good.
My main complaint with this one is that while the lining fits and supports well, the lace overlay doesn't lie smoothly over the top and wrinkles enough to be visible through clothing. This might be a construction flaw, or it might just be that the lace layer stretches more than the lining does, but I'm torn as to whether this one's worth keeping despite the comfortable fit.
This is a great bra for someone looking to minimize size, but I felt it made my boobs look too small. It is also 1-2 sizes too small for me, so that's probably the culprit.
It got good reviews on Figleaves, but it didn't work with my shape.
Based on the reviews on Figleaves, which indicated that the cups ran large, I decided to order this bra one cup-size down. That was a mistake. The bra is true to size for my shape and I am getting some cutting in on the top of the cup. Despite that, I love this bra. It is the extremely comfortable. I ordered the white/pink version, which is very pretty, but not too ornate.
Edit: I just noticed that this is actually a 32E, not 32F. The cups do fit better than my other 32E bras. I don't get quadra-boob in this bra.
Original review: Other than my Deco, this is my best fitting bra. The wires dig into my sternum, so I don't wear it too much. There is also some puckering at the bottom of the cups.
This was purchased from Figleaves as a size 30DDD (labeled 30E).
I don't wear strapless dresses or shirts at all, but I thought I'd get this one because it was so inexpensive and in one of my sizes. The only good things about this bra are that it has the rubber strips on the inside so the band stays in place, and the cups are not overly thick like some other strapless styles I've tried, it's also 95% cotton.
The bad things about this bra are: The cups are pointy in the center and point towards the sides, there is no depth/curve on the inner edge of the cup where the ...center gore is. Maybe mine was bought flawed? The cups cause a flat look at the top of them, not rounded. I look perkier not wear this at all than having it on. It doesn't give good support, and with the straps on it's just too heavy and hurts my shoulders more than when I wear a 32DD bra. I can literally lift myself up 2 inches because this bra pushes my boobs down towards my waist. The wires hurt at the bottom of each cup because it's pushing down.
This seems like it would look better on someone with implants, not saggy, fleshy boobs. Maybe it's just me, but the cups have a better shape to them laying on the floor than if I'm wearing this. Read more 123 more words
As a strapless bra, it works wonderfully. My main complaint is that the cups seem to run small, making it not quite as properly functional as I would prefer it to be. Works great under a properly fitting dress, but just a little bit awkward under a loose-fitting top. Sadly, they don't make a 30F. DX Straps are included, but I don't think that I've ever used them.
This bra doesn't really fit me very well, but I like it because it's cheap, cute, and the cups are comfy. The cups are too small for me, but I get nice cleavage when wearing this. The straps and band are not so comfy, but it's made of soft cotton, and it's a molded, light/medium-padded bra. I wish it came in tan, since the pink and white show underneath light colored/white shirts, but the cute colors are fun. A nice, cheap bra that needs to be made in more sizes like 30 and 28 bands.
