I really, really wanted to love this bra. The Twilight Blue was gorgeous on the website and just as pretty in person. It was on the higher end of what I prefer to pay for bras, and the quality is definitely there, but it just didn't give me the shape I would have liked or the magical cleavage I expected based on the pictures.

I resized myself as a 28G a few months ago, as I have a 27" rib cage, but I'm finding that some of my 28G bras cause too much rubbing against my ribs, leaving them really sore at the end of the day. For ... that reason (and because this bra starts at a 30 band), I decided to try the 30FF. In terms of fit, I have no complaints. Looking at it in the packaging, I thought the cup would be way too big, but once it was actually on, it fit great. After a scoop-and-swoop I have a tiny bit of quadding along the inside edge of the cups, but it goes away once everything settles. The straps didn't feel too wide and they adjusted more than enough for me; the underwire felt comfortably tight, and while the bra did push the girls together, I didn't feel like they squished or flattened them any.

In terms of construction, this really is a lovely bra. It's a 3-section cup, so it's not as firm as my Cleo Maddie Moulded T-shirt Bra (7201) , but it is lined, so it's also not as flimsy-feeling as my Freya Marvel Side Panel Bra (1501). The allover lace didn't feel scratchy against my skin, and it looked pretty durable despite its delicate appearance.

Now, the reason I'm not keeping this bra is because it gives me a pointier shape than I'd like. Not super pointy, but 'natural' pointy. Still, I prefer a more rounded silhouette, so this is a problem for me. The other issue is that I don't actually have much cleavage in most bras, and I was hoping this bra would help out with that, but it didn't actually do too much. It helped a little, but I didn't really get much more than I get with Maddie (which isn't very much). I've seen reviews where people have said that you should go down a cup size if you want the amazing boost shown in some of the pictures, but I feel like there would be too much of an issue with quadding if I did that. I have FOB, self-supporting breasts with average-wide roots, and there's just a bit of separation between them--less than an inch, definitely, but still enough that I usually need to wear a bra with some kind of padding if I want really awesome cleavage. While this bra does have removable padding for smaller cup sizes (according to the website), there is none for larger cup sizes, so you have to depend on the bra's shape itself, and unfortunately for me, that didn't work out.

The cups on this bra have a bit of an interesting shape. When not wearing it, there is almost a straight line between the underwires and the deepest point of the cup when viewed from the side. Because of this, I think it's best for people with full on top to even fullness - I'm ever so slightly full on top and the cup shape creates a slight push-up effect without padding. This bra creates a slightly pointy shape, and the seams on the cup are pretty prominent and show through T-shirts. The bra itself looks really good but I wouldn't wear this for day-to-day wear unless I was wearing a thicker top like a sweater.
