Fits nice except for the gore, but excellent for cleavage. This will be good for tops that need a little "oomph" I just bought two more, one in the black colorway, will update if the measurements are significantly different when they arrive.
I like this bra like I like Wacoal's b.tempt'd b.wow'd bra - a nice, easy to wear push up like I used to get from Victoria's Secret or some department store. Its so soft and casual, with a comfy cotton feel I don't find in many bras anymore. And it does give me a nice shape and lift despite being illfitting. I'd keep it if only the band were tighter. The cups are also wider and tall, and it has some push up padding making it fight my shape.
The no9 bra is supposed to be made for augmented breasts, but this bra does a poor job of fitting properly. The band stretches way too quickly. The straps are cute, but placed too far out on the cups. The lace overlay is pretty and the lilac color is great. Overall, not a recommended bra.
This is a great bra, the cups were just slightly too wide for me, meaning I'm not held in place after the old scoop and swoop. I'm seriously considering holding on to it though, as it is just so comfy! The lace back is a really pretty detail as well.
I put this bra on and now I don't want to take it off! The band is stretchy, but it feels very comfortable and stayed put even during the impromptu happy-dance I busted out in the bathroom. The width and depth are darn near perfect. The moulded cup gives me a nice shape. No quading. The gore and wings are not very tall, so nothing pokes and nothing digs.
I don't know what to pick on the fit survey for the top of the cup: cuts into breast tissue (quad-boob) or wrinkles (can't fill it)? Because, somehow, BOTH. I get wrinkling and gapping at the very top of the cup--I'm not quite full enough on top--but I also get quad-boob lower down, around the middle of the cup. Possibly the bra is too shallow for me? Possibly I need to stop looking for a full-cup bra since, if I'm full on bottom, a half-cup or balcony would be better for me? Possibly I need to rethink my belief that "half cups are bad because I just fall out of them" because it was formed when I was still wearing ill-fitting bras?
Anyway, both issues are somewhat minor, and the bra is quite comfortable, so it's a tough call on this one.
Awesome looking once you have it on, heavily padded (I would guess and inch or more of padding at the bottom.) which just isn't what I was looking for. Straps are not wide but are thick almost rolled and have a very pleasant velvety feel to them. They detach in the back where there are two sets of loops to change the distance or cross the straps. Something I have never seen before is that the upper parts of the straps break apart and the two half straps (permanently attached to the front of the cups can be clicked together to make a halter strap. (The same way ...many front hook bras work). The snap apart straps can be crossed and refastened without dislodging the back straps form the loops on the band.
The smooth rounded shape it gave was great. The one inch band of material running along the cup did show under some clingy fabrics where the two materials meet up. If you want to add a cup size or more and show off some great cleavage this might be the bra you're looking for.
I'm pretty sure this would be an excellent fit and very comfortable, if not for the fact that the 30" band only stretches to 29" My under-bust is 29" and it was all I could do to hook it. I would consider this in a 32" band or using an extender. I would like to see a version with less padding.
The website I ordered from was out of my size, 32F, so I tried this. I should have tried 30G because this was too small in the cups. I think I could have gotten away with the 30 band with an extender until it stretched.
This is the most ill-fitting bra I have ever tried on. Le Mystere does not use UK sizing. The customer service rep I spoke with by phone did not know this. Unfortunately I didn't research and verify for myself before ordering this final sale bra. I have every possible sign of a too-small bra in the 30F Le Mystere Lolita Strapless. It does have convertible straps that are partially adjustable. Most of it is a stretchy type of cord in the same color as the bra, with four rosette type details on each strap.
The no9 bra is supposed to be made for implants. Freya and Panache do a much better job at fitting augmented breasts. The bra itself is pretty, but the fit is horrible. The straps are thin and pretty, but are place very far out on the cup. The band stretches easily during wear, I often have to tighten it to the next set of hooks in part way through the day.
Lovely shape!!
