Band is a true 30, cups come up high under the arms, otherwise I like it. The colours are really vibrant!

I tried this bra because the Lepel Fiore fit me so nicely. Unfortunately for me, the Erin bra is much deeper than the Fiore, so it didn't work at all for my shallow shape. Too bad, since I was particularly excited to find a bra with straps thin enough to be worn under a tank top. If you have enough projection to wear this bra and you're looking for something with small straps, definitely try this one out. If you have very shallow breasts, though, stick with the Fiore bras from this line.

I love the fit and style of this bra. Unfortunately, the wires dig in a little bit on my bigger side, which I think is a sign that the cups are too shallow. This is a bummer because otherwise, this bra is perfect!

This bra is beautiful. I ordered it in both Aqua and Magenta, but sadly it's too small. I've already ordered the next size up, b/c I like it so much. If you are center full like me, you will get a lot of cleavage.

Nice bra, but not fitting my narrow and projected shape. Maybe also more like 28FF-30F, or maybe just a shape mismatch making it feel small in the cup.

This bra is way prettier in person then the stock photos show. I didn't expect it to look so nice. Cute strawberry and butterfly print. It's got a super soft microfiber outer. And the front half of the starps are the same fabric. This makes the straps very stretchy and the band is also very stretchy. This bra has a very round shape and is extremely comfortable to me. I am currently pregnant and I feel like this is the most comfortable bra for this time and breast feeding. I intend to get another and sew on nursing clips to them both.

It fits alright. The band was too tight that I couldn't fasten it on my own at first. But now,after a few times of wearing this, I can fasten it, so the band is very stretchy. The fabric is soft. I ordered it in 30F online but I've got 30FF. So there might have been a mistake. I missed the returning date and it fits me quite okay, so I decided to keep it.
The wires dig into my skin a little. And the center gore is too high that it's uncomfortable. Since I decided to keep it, I need to find a way to solve this problem. And the lace is very visible. It was visible on almost every tops I have, except the thick sweater.

I would have bought this if it came in a different colourway, but unfortunately it wasn't quite the right shape for me. The apex was more pointy and not quite in the right place. It was extremely comfy and seemed to be well made.

It's so pretty! The details are so lovely, from the lace on the cups to the center gore, but the band is so small. It's like a tight 28.

I really wanted this bra to fit! It could be a really cute one! It just didn't fit my shape correctly.

My only complaint about this bra are the straps. I would have liked broader straps that offer more support.

I really wanted to like this bra but the fit just isn't good enough for me. The band fits nice and snug and such is the case with any 30 band bras that I've tried, so I'm confident band size is perfect. The cup size was adequate at first but after swooping/scooping, there was some top spillage from the right breast. The appearance was also a little odd (not quite rounded but not quite pointy). The straps sit rather wide but I assume that ensures a better fit for those with wide-rooted breasts. I think my only issue with the straps is that I'm so used to ill-fitting bras that I would have to constantly sit the straps close together to keep them from falling off (too wide a band) and now I'm paranoid. That said, the wide set straps also lessened the side boob effect from my arm pits but I think perhaps another brand may reduce that even more. I will unfortunately have to return this bra.

I love how this bra looks, but I'm not a big fan of how it fits. The bra feels really tall on the sides in larger sizes and as a result the underwire jabs into my armpit. Also, the way the straps are stitched to the lacy material on the cup causes a strange seam that constantly scratches at me right above the cup. Also, the strap has this odd way of feeling really loose even though it's tight enough. I can't explain it but it constantly felt really loose and stretchy even though it was fitting me correctly. I wish this bra fit as well as it looks because it's absolutely adorable! Women with smaller boobs will probably have much better luck.

I find it very had to get cleavage, and need a bra with push up padding to get it (or at least I havent found anything else that works). This bra kind of does that, but the cups are too wide for me. Part of the problem is probably that I would need a size 28 band, but I think even if it came in a smaller band size the cups would still be too wide. There is a bit of empty space at the top sides of the cups. Also when I wear the bra it gapes and need to scoop myself into it all the time ... as my boobs seem to move around in the cups - probably because they're so wide on me!
I will probably keep wearing this bra for a while though until I find something better, as it does give me some cleavage, but gives me a very wide shape under clothing.
I like that it is moulded with some lace, so can wear it under tight tops.
Overall, its a pretty bra and would probably be great on someone the right shape for it!

Despite getting a small but distinct amount of quadboob with this bra, I'm going to keep it. One, because I don't think it's enough to warrant a full cup size change (like the CK Lottie, which gave mild quadboob, but had me swimming in the cups when I went up a size), and two, because the lace on this bra does an excellent job of disguising said quadboob. I will, nevertheless, order a 30G just in case. As for the band, although it would definitely be better in a 28 band (which Lepel doesn't currently make) and it does ride up somewhat in the back, it feels tighter ... than some of my more stretchy 28 band bras (CK showgirl bras, I'm looking at you) and the band moves less than those bras do when I raise my arms or jump up and down.
Personally, I find that this is, as recommended, a great bra for shallow, full-on-bottom breasts. The shape of the bra seems like it was designed with me in mind. I usually prefer a more rounded shape, but I like the shape here, too. It's rounded but isn't quite as circular as some bras, more rounded at the bottom and a bit more diagonally flattened on the upper portion, if that makes any sense. Not pointy, by any means, if you're concerned about that.
I have a long torso and still noticed that this bra comes up really high under the arms. It's not enough to bother me (it actually makes me feel quite "secure" in the bra), but I could see it being uncomfortable if you were more sensitive to that sort of thing, or had a shorter torso or high-set breasts. If I could change one thing on this bra (other than expanding down to sub-30 bands), it would be replacing the double hooks with triple hooks. I don't think that double hooks are adequate at this size, though obviously some bra makers disagree.

This runs large in its crazy stretchy band. It's an absolutely beautiful bra, and incredibly comfortable except the cup seams that hit across my nipples seem to chafe a bit. I'm hoping that will change after some wearing. It doesn't give an amazing shape, but it isn't terrible. Not a great t shirt bra because the seams show through, but as far as looks and comfort (except for the blasted seams!) go, I love it. Would recommend sizing down in the band (and up in the cup accordingly.)

The wire sits quite far underneath the underarms with the band only covering the back. Because of this it is meant for a full coverage shirt, but because it is so pretty it won't hurt if it shows a little. The decorations on the edges unravel a little after one wear, but I haven't tried to wash it so I can't say if it holds up well.
The wire does stab right at the top of the bridge and I have to pad it with tissue paper (not ideal, or sexy), but it was comfortable to wear all day. I felt very secure wearing it for a work day.

Identical review for 3 sizes of the same bra. Find 30G here: http://bra.pe/S40/ and 32G here: http://bra.pe/S41/.
I wondered why Lepel brand bras always seemed to be in-stock... so I took a chance and ordered a few sizes. Reviews I'd read were scant.
Since I'm on average a 30G in padded bras I started there. Some reviews suggested the cups may be too large/small so I decided to try the 30FF and a 32G as well. (I knew 32G cups would be larger--more like 30GG but the band would be looser).
Based on the design I anticipated this cup style as having vertical seams covered with satiny ... fabric. When I opened the delivery I was sad to see what I thought were really bizarre seams underneath. It's actually very similar to those of many Panache Superbra styles like Ariza, Andorra or Melody which all have a horizontal line that curves across the breast with a single vertical line on the bottom part of the cup. Personally, I think it makes boobs look like blinking eyes, which is kinda creepy. Either way it's not something that helps my shape and so the main reason I cannot stand to look at those types of bras. And this combined with the padded material certainly does NOTHING to flatter such a large cup (at least not on me).
Both 30FF + 30G were awkward shaped and too small in cup size to consider. I really wanted to make the 32G work because my breasts actually were closer to filling the cups properly... the terrible shape just did nothing for support. The 32-band was far too big but so were both of the 30-bands. The center gore pulled away from all 3 bras. There was side boob and more spillage on all 3 bras. The quality of all 3 bras was so sub par and uncomfortable I did not want to put them back on to take pictures ...but I did. As pretty as the design is it felt like being back in my old 34D US-sized bra. I couldn't wait to get them sent back for my refund.
After all of this I really wonder how Lepel stay in business. Are there really women out there who fit properly into this brand's styles? If so, do they really stay so quiet? If there are in fact ladies out there who proudly wear Lepel in F+ cup sizes I wish they would review them more often so other women (like me) had some idea what we were getting into!
Purchased & Returned Early-December '11 from Asos.
