Look and feel:
The fabric is nice and not itchy at all. The fabric lining the cups is quite smooth, and I can't even feel the seams on the cups.

The bottom (vertical) seam is quite flat and not at all noticable under t-shirts, although the top seam is more visible.

The wires are acutally 2.5cm shorter than where the cup ends at the sides.

Overall, the bra provides a rounded shape that looks natural and I don't get any bounce when I walk up and down stairs.

Fit:
The band is slightly tight which causes the wires to press really firmly against my body, but I think going up a cup size ... would be too big.

The cups fit great, I'm totally enclosed, no spillage, no gaping. There is some wrinkling at the tops of the cups, although very minimal (but more on the smaller breast). I don't know if I need to go down a cup size or not, since the wrinkling is minimal.

Overall, I don't notice that I'm wearing this during the day, although once in a while I'll really feel the wires.

Update: I've worn this bra a few times and handwashed it once. The band is still firm and I can't feel the wires at all now. It's very comfortable.

Update 2: I'm finding the tops of the cups on this bra are digging into me now. They're definately too small. I only wear this bra when my other 3 well fitting bras are waiting to dry.

Update 3: I no longer wear this bra. The cups feel too small now.

This bra fit so perfectly when I first got it. Now it feels like the band has loosened so I’ve moved up to the middle hook. I’ve tried to wear it on the tightest hook but then I start to get sharp pains in my sternum and have trouble breathing after a couple of hours. I’ve noticed recently that the wires in my armpit may not come up high enough since I can feel some tissue trying to escape above it.

I bought this bra used from another bratabase user. Despite the stretched band length being the same as my CK's Ella and Emily, I find this band to be much comfier. The band stays wider near the middle of the back which I prefer.

There's probably a half centimeter gap between my sternum and the gore, but the gap is so negligible that I did not check that option. The cup is also wider than my CKs and doesn't press into my ribs under the armpit like they do.

Overall I'm very happy with this purchase

This is a really good bra for giving cleavage without moulded cups.

It's not too thin (nipples don't really show) and is very pretty.

I'm not sure if I should write a review of this, since it's so far from my correct size range, but I did try it in my early bra fitting adventures so I guess I might as well say something. Despite being about three cup sizes away from a proper fit, I found this to be a relatively comfortable bra. Unfortunately, I don't think it's a good bra, even at the correct size, for my breast shape (extremely wide-set, shallow, full-on-bottom), which is a shame because I really like the look of it. If I had the right shape for it, I would definitely have bought a few of these in the right size.

This bra does give a great lift, but I would recommend it for firmer breasts; softer ones will just sort of spill towards the middle. Not recommended for those with pectus carinatum and/or protruding sternum, because the wires do poke. The band feels a mite loose; it's actually longer than a Calvin Klein 30 band that I have. I'd love to keep this bra because it is quite pretty, but unfortunately, it is really too uncomfortable for me to wear regularly.

The bra is sheer, but not too sheer like Freya Arabella. The shape it gives is not as round as Cleo bras, but rather a natural shape. The band is firm enough for me. Sadly, this bra is too small for me. At first my breasts are contained in the cup, however after 30 minutes it gives me quadboob.
