Be aware that the band is extremely stretchy, I would need to go down to a 28 band in a perfect world. I usually wear a 30GG and I think the 30G fits fairly well, so it probably runs slightly larger in the cup. I really like this bra! It's unique! It has the honor of having the smoothest outline under clothes EVER on any bra I've tried so far. The upper seam does not even show. Amazing! There is a lot of nipplage going on however, so you might want to wear this with pasties. Comfort is pretty good, but because of the thin band I feel the straps more than I usually do with bras that have thicker bands. I also think this is because the band size was too loose on me.

UK 36D

The combo of fit + shape might be as close to perfect as I'll ever get. I have one tiny, tiiiiny quibble, which is that I wish there was just a hint less projection at the apex. Just a hint. Ok, on to all the awesome:

Material: feels smooth as silk, breathes like air. I've seen some people say the material felt flimsy, but I think they must be comparing it to bras made of thicker material. AFAIK, there is no such thing as see-through fabric that feels thick. Instead, I'm pleasantly surprised by how strong this fabric feels, given that it's sheer. ... And soooo comfortable and light. My American South summers just got a lot more bearable.

Band: pleasantly stretchy. My experience so far is that 36s tend to start at 30 inches and stretch to about 35 (I can usually force them to 36, but then cup distortion starts creeping in). This one starts at 29 and stretches to 36 without distortion. Another pleasant surprise for me: it reduces my "rolls." The bottom edge of the band is nice and grippy, but the top edge of the band--which on most bras squeezes me into some serious rollage--has a bit of extra, different fabric that seems to spread out the tension and mitigate that squeezing. Kind of like how you're supposed to spread-eagle when pulling someone out of a frozen lake. See pics if this description isn't making sense https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> 3/4 inch spacing between hooks (if you're considering using an extender).

Wires: Pretty firm, U-shaped. A good width and height for me (slightly narrow, short).

Gore: Lays flat on me, short but not super-short. The tops of the wires dig in a little after an hour or so of wear, so I'll probably bend them out a little.

Cups: Flexible and stretchy, while still providing support and a nice rounded shape. This is the first unlined bra I've tried that offers enough room to accommodate my outer fullness; other unlined bras have flattened the outside of my boobs, so that when I look down at them, they look like
/)(\.

Straps: Not very wide, stretchy but firm. Fully adjustable. They attach to the cup a little further from my arms than most other bras, which I love.

UK 36DD. No review and no pics, since this one is clearly too big in the cups and a 36D is coming in the mail tomorrow. I'll review and photograph that one instead. I just decided to add this one's measurements for the benefit of other users. Sorry for leaving out the stretched band measurement; I'm definitely returning it so didn't want to risk damaging it. I will say, though, that the band feels neither particularly stretchy nor particularly firm for a 36.

Very edgy/cool looking bra. Smooth surface, except for nipple show of course. Band is slightly too tight, but I hope that means it will last me longer. The underwires are too wide, which is common for me, hence I bended them a little.

EDIT: The band already is a lot less tight and I now wear it on the middle hook.

The wings of this bra are a bit irritating for me sometimes, but it is so hard to find an unlined seamless bra in my size that I'm inclined to be forgiving.

The cups on this are stretchy, which means I could wear this in a D cup on smaller-boob days, or a DD cup on bigger days. But there are differences between the D and the DD cups. The D cups and below don't have side slings, which I think I miss, as this bra doesn't do a lot of shaping, but the D's have convertible straps, which DD and above don't.

If I was looking for very firm support, this isn't the bra I would choose, but it doesn't show under even very thin clothes, has convertible straps to make it even more versatile, comes in great colors, and is a pretty sexy without any potentially itchy lace. I'm a little concerned about longevity, since it feels very lightweight, but if it holds up well, I'd consider buying more colors.

I would suggest this bra to anyone!

This bra would be close to perfect if it came in a 32GG. My only issue with it is the band is a bit too big but that hasn't stopped me from buying four of them! Sheer & sexy, Very comfortable & slightly minimizing I wear this bra when I want a more natural shape.

Band feels good, but this bra is very full in the cups. It's more along the lines of Fantasie or Chantelle sizing. It seems comfortable and well made. I could wear a 30B so that's a possibility if I see one available in the US for a decent price.

The Glossies bra is very lightweight and provides very little help with shaping so you have to like your natural shape with this one. The word "moulded" in the name refers to the process by which the fabric is permanently formed -- but note that this is not a "molded" bra as we expect in the US, with lining and padding. This is a single layer of slightly stretchy, sheer fabric.

I love this bra in concept: the glossy material, the somewhat nostalgic style, the fun colors! I'd also like to try the Gossard Glossies Padded Bra (6275) at some point.

Highly underrated bra. Super soft, comfy, supportive, and simply sexy!

This review is for the aqua color. I have this same bra in brown (mocha?) and the sizing is different between the two. The aqua has much smaller cups and therefore fits me a lot better.

I really like this bra. It is so pretty- the color is great and the fabric is shiny. It is comfortable and doesn't scratch or poke anywhere. The straps can disconnect in the back so you can criss-cross them, although I haven't tried this yet.

The cups are a see-though, stretchy fabric. They give some support and shaping but not a whole lot. I find that with the smaller cups, there is some negative ... ease which helps with the shaping and nipple show-through.

I feel like the band on this bra isn't supposed to be tight, if that makes sense, so I'm not going to gripe about the lack of a 28 band size. I guess I see it as more of a comfortable, casual bra. It doesn't ride up and the straps don't fall down my shoulders. Although Bratabase will mark this bra as "not fitting" me, I still wear it.
