This will be the second glowing review I post of a Maison Lejaby bra this week! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The quality of the materials and of the construction are again amazing.
After wearing it for the past three days I can say that the band is the most comfortable I've ever worn! Usually, most bra bands seem to have a somewhat uneven tension between the fabric of the band itself (which is usually a more stretchy material), and that of the elastics on the upper and lower edge (which are usually firmer). That makes the elastics cut in uncomfortably (I'm looking at you, Freya ... Deco!). Somehow, for this bra it's not the case, and the band feels smooth and comfortable the whole day.
Regarding the design, this bra looks absolutely beautiful. I like the rose decoration on the cup, and the fact that there isn't any charm on the gore. The colour didn't really come across in the pictures I took, it's not as pinkish in real life - it's a more deep shade of red, like a deep berry colour, a bit lighter than burgundy. The decorative lace on the straps is quite uncommon and gives a unique look.
The straps are the only minor comfort complaint that I have. They're only half adjustable, with the top part not stretchy at all. Somehow, the non-stretch straps are not as comfortable as the usual stretch ones. However, a plus side for a lot of people will be that the straps seem to be less wide set than usual, and they don't tend to sit so wide set on the shoulders.
The fabric looks very delicate, but in fact the fit is very stable and secure. The profile I get from it is quite minimized, despite the shape being between round and pointy - so definitely not flattened. Maybe it's because it doesn't bring the bust completely to the front.
The wires are also surprisingly comfortable. They are very low under the arms (great for us with short roots!) and the gore is also not too tall. There is a lot of bottom projection, and this is the first time in an unlined bra that I get an extremely smooth fit of the fabric on the whole lower cup. What I personally like is that this really doesn't feel like a "lot of" bra. It's quite low coverage overall.
Unlike the EU 85G @Enlace Moi bra, this one is is one band and one cup smaller. But the sizing definitely runs large! My usual size is UK 36GG (depends a bit from brand to brand).
