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. Read more 78 more words
This bra is transparent, so if you are looking for coverage, this is probably not for you.
This bra is very comfortable! The fabric is soft, sleek, and shiny. The quality is excellent and the design is beautiful.
The band and cups both run large. I wish it came in a 28. My 30B Cleo bras give me quadboob and good support in the band, and this one gives me none of that. Due to the fit, the cups wrinkle slightly and the band doesn't hold in all of the scoop-and-swooped tissue.
I bought this bra in a 30B (I'm a 28C) and it did NOT work. It was too projected and too narrow for my breasts. The wires cut into my breasts by the armpit, and the fabric of the cup was weirdly loose. I would not recommend this bra for anyone who is shallow/wide, although the narrow gore is nice if your breasts are close set.
I have a wide root and shallow boobs. I do need flat cups but not extraordinary wide wires. I almost don't have any volume on top. I usually wear this bra when my boobs are smaller during the first weeks after my mestruation.
The band runs really tight I can only fasten it at the last hook. The cups are shallow and very open on top. The wires are wide and perfectly fit me even though I sized down due to my breast size changes. First the material is a little scratchy but it gets softer after washing it.
This bra is very short. Almost as short as, if not shorter than, super plunge bras from Mimi Holliday. The front half of the straps are not adjustable, and I think they are pretty unique. Fabrics near the hooks are ruched. The placement of the lace at the top is weird. The seams where the cups and laces meet stick out and make my chest very pointy. Perhaps it's because the shape doesn't work on me. It might be good for bedroom/lounging...
