How do the French companies get their lace and embroidery to lay so flat? This is 5th French bra I've tried that I thought would be very visible under a t-shirt that ends up being practically invisible instead. This bra has a little lace ruffle along the top of the cup, a little girlie detail on a otherwise geometric patterned bra. It was invisible under my thin tight tank top. Unfortunately this bra is a little too deep for me.... Which I almost never say. I think fits more like a 30FF. The band is comfortably snug for me but only stretches ...29" so it's borderline for tts for a 30 (UK/USA/EUR) band. The cups are some of the narrowest I've tried in my size only barely over 5". In a couple pictures it looks like the cup might be too shallow but it's an optical illusion. It's actually wrinkling slightly on my smaller side so it's that the cup is too big instead of too small. My only complaint is that I haven't felt like the brand is as consistent sizing wise as I've found Cleo to be. But it could just be that that different cuts run differently and once a person has what is what worked out the brand is easy to find your size in. I've only tried 4 bras so far from this company.

What a beautiful bra. I love the colour and the shape of this bra. What a pity is is a little big in the cup for you. I have to agree that it is somewhat strange that it is not visible at all under your top, which is a great thing for a bra made out of lace and embroidery. Looks like it would be very comfy to wear if it was in your size
In love! They make this bra in a dark brown also which I would love to get my hands one. Has some of the narrowest wires I own. I only have a finger width's dead space on the sides. Sits well in my imf. Provides good lift. Seamless under shirts. Wide comfortable glorious straps with pretty white soft tulle coming off them. Low and narrow gore, deep cups. And the band is snug but doesn't cut in. There is less difference between the tension of the band and the tension of the elastic edges than on any other ...bra I have except maybe Claudette Sophia icon. Straps are similar in comfort too to that bra. These are slightly better and I'd already wanted to duplicate the Claudette straps for every other bra I own. Gives a shape somewhere between Cleo apples and Freya unlined natural, plus a little of up turn at the center I like to call French perky- my Simone Perle Amour made this perky upturn at the center... I don't really know how to explain it exactly.
Update- I've had this bra now about 6 months and I'm still very happy with it. I'd buy this cut again especially in a color that would disappear under a shirt. Read more 119 more words
revisa The straps look so comfortable, and I like the geometric lace. But, I bet the cup is tall ;-)
DressTheTwins I don't find the Lejaby plunges tall in my size - 30E.
Dressthetwins I can measure it. I don't understand how when we measure width we don't include depth but when we measure height we include depth. It seems like it's always going to make deep cups seem taller than they are.
6.5" high
I don't find it tall either but after my pictures in the Claudette Sophia I'm confident I have, instead of just leaning to, tall roots but they are very shallow so typically molded bras gap a lot at the top. It seems I need a relatively open but not too tall cup. So complicated!
You know, revisa I only just recently realised I had tall roots. Having pendulous tissue first I thought I was short rooted FOB, but now I understand my breasts better and it turns out that they are actually even in shape with tall roots, so they look FOB without a bra, but they mostly behave FOB to even with sloping tall roots in a bra. In some bras I can even get an FOT shape. Tall cups don't work though, because I am petite, so you're quite right: it is complicated. :)
Very short, projected, slightly narrow, close set, center full, even breasts....
Delightfully narrow and deep; too narrow for me. The wings are low, gore narrow, straps half adjustable, and the color a delicious peach. The wings are an amazingly soft, supportive, two layer, fine mesh. Straps are non-stretch which I strongly prefer. And, abstract embroidery dances across the cups. Beautiful!!
I'm very impressed with Lejaby bras and determined to find one that fits. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
OK. So this is just the best bra on the planet. I bought this one as Millesia "Femme" by Nina Ricci, but I see it also exists under the Lejaby brand as "Vibration" with a code 12134 found on the sewn in label, which is BTW the same in both brands. I named it Lejaby Millesia as the bra exists under both aliases. Solid thick and firm band, also thick amazing straps, which are not just attached to the bra, but part of it, as the bra seam runs into the straps. Fits like a UK 30F, band on the tighter side, cups embroidered mesh, absolutely amazing design. This is top notch French quality. The cups are narrow and deep - a full cup style on me in this size. As it is about a half cup size roomy on me it is on its way for a swap.
I'm pretty sure Millesia is its own standalone brand, not a bra design name, and not part of Lejaby or Nina Ricci. I suspect the vendor got their product description tangled up.
