    My shape: FOB, projected, narrow roots and shoulders, soft tissue
    Appearance: This semi-padded bra is so beautiful in person! The brightly colored fabric looks like watercolor flowers, and continues from the cups to the band. The top lace, straps, and elastic are all a matching cerulean blue.
    Fit: I ordered this bra, and two others, for my first order from magdalenahukalowicz at bras4you.com. She was super wonderful to work with, and very communicative.
    The band on this particular Gaia bra is VERY stretchy. I had it on the tightest hook right away. The cups are quite deep. The lace tops are strethcy, but gape on me. I might be able to do some alterations on them to tighten them up a bit, but since I've never attempted that particular surgery, I am a bit nervous to try it.
    If you like your bands tight, I'd advise to size down a band with this model.

    This bra is not owned any more

      You never know about the bands - I have a Gaia 70 band that should be a 65. I love these colors - gorgeous bra! I tend to have the gaping with stretch lace when it's a semi-soft. Regarding a possible alteration: a lot of Curvy Kates have lace that runs along the top edge of the cup and that's what gave me this idea. You might try running matching thread along the top edge of the cup. Then you can pull it in slightly to tighten the cup's gaping (if that makes any sense!). If it doesn't work, it's easily removed and no big deal. I did surgery on a Gorsenia soft cup this morning, I just did a little foldover and tacked it which left a crease. Now I wish I'd remembered this gathering technique.

    • I meant to say the CK's have ribbon running along the edge of the cup. Now that I think about it, not sure if it would work with a semi-padded; it might make it pucker weirdly.

      Actually, that might work with these semi-padded ones, since the lace is a separate part of the cup. It shouldn't affect the bottom, padded portion, and like you said, it's easily removed if it, for some reason, looks odd.
      Thanks for the suggestion! I am totally gonna try that.

    • I do the fold over, but right by the gore and/or the strap where it will be the least noticeable under clothes.

    • So you don't cut or remove any of the lace, you just fold over the amount you need and sew it "shut" basically, yeah?
      I really need to try this.

      Yep, no cutting or removing. It allows for re-do's if your size changes. I make my alteration near the gore like cupandahalf suggested. I'm one of those that if the top of the cup lays perfectly then the bra is too small everywhere else, so this alteration happens a lot.
