I find the band is too tight for me. It digs in at the bottom centimeter and it feels like it constricts my breathing.

I've just started discovering "proper" fitting bras. So far my best fit has been in the Fantasie 30F/30FF, but I heard that Le Mystere bands run somewhat tight, so I thought I would give it a try. It fit ok, I couldn't find any major fit problems with it (although the cup shape looked somewhat strange on my smaller breast. It wasn't wrinkling, it just looked strange), but I didn't wear it for very long so I'm not sure if the band would have started to ride up.
I ended up returning it though because of how much east/west projection the bra gave me/how large my chest looked from the front. It wasn't the shape I was looking for.

I coveted this bra ever since Oprah publicized it several years ago. I finally got one, and it doesn't fit. Apparently H is the largest cup it comes in, so I'm out of luck.
It is made from such a soft, silky fabric, yet it doesn't seem too stretchy. The straps are comfy and don't dig in at all. It definitely gives an uplifted, rounded shape. It was super comfortable while I wore it.
But the cups are too small. The center gore didn't lie flat. I didn't have too much quad-boob going on, but my boobs were just sort of smashed together and hidden behind the molded cup. Under clothing i could have passed it off. As for looks, we'll its your basic molded-cup t-shirt bra in basic colors.

I discovered two of these bras (tan and brown) in good shape at a thrift store for a few bucks and bought it. Unfortunately, it just isn't for me. Initially, the cups were too big, but they now fit. While the band is firmer than my current bra (wacoal 853167), it still isn't quite tight enough on the tightest hook. Also, the straps don't fully adjust, so I ended up taking up the straps a good two inches, but now the cups dig into my armpits, so... The underwires dig into my ribcage, too. I'm also not happy with the shape it gives me now that the cups fit - rather pointy and east-west. My little sister noticed right away when I changed into this one from my wacoal bra.
I would suggest trying this out if you get a chance because it seems like a lot of other people love it and it seems to be good quality, but it just didn't work out for me.

This would be a comfortable, seamless, everyday bra... if I purchased it in the right size.

I'd heard so many great things about this bra, but for me that's just not the case. Fit is one issue, as it's much too big around and much too small in the cups. The other issue is that this bra is truly, incredibly ugly. I was actually relieved when it fit so poorly. I'm 24 and just seeing this bra in my drawer would make me think I was 60.
The straps are very wide, I'm sure for comfort, but taken to the extreme. The body of the bra looks and feels like armor. If it fit it would probably ... be invisible under a T-shirt, as it's nearly completely seamless with hidden underwire and a great nude color. It looks like it would be supportive and it's clearly well made, but it's definitely not for me.
As for fit, it wasn't even close. The underwire sits at least an inch away from my sternum, partly because the band is simply too big, but also because my breasts don't come close to fitting into the cups. I tried it in both an F and G cup, and they're both so far off I couldn't tell any difference.
The more I think of it, I think the issue isn't so much that the bra doesn't fit me, but rather I don't fit this bra, because the bra itself is not one that will forgive or conform in any way.

It isn't cute, but it holds you in place and is seamless under clothes.

I really wanted this bra to fit but unfortunately it didn't. The straps are wide and padded for comfort & the underwires are hidden.

I liked the way this shaped my bust - however, the cups were too small on this bra (US 32G) - I will try the next cup size up and see how that works.
