This is my most expensive bra to date (US $60), but it basically fits perfectly, and is a really pretty, high-quality bra, so I'm happy!

I have a shallow shape with wide root, and this doesn't give me any quadboob at all! However, my boobs are relatively low-set, so I have the shoulder straps as long as they will go.

It's tied with the Betsey Johnson Eyelet Lace demi (also 30DD) for my ideal bra. I like that it's smooth satin (the Betsey is mesh), and that it's a plunge.

It has padded cups (no push-up pads) with 1 vertical seam on the inside, and pretty sheer mesh with 2 smooth vertical seams on the outside. I would definitely recommend trying this if you have shallow boobs and are looking for a plunge bra. I think it could work as a T-shirt bra, due to the light padding, as long as your shirt isn't really see-through.

First, this bra is gorgeous. I love the colour, the lace, the satin band and straps. Alice looks very discreet but if you take a close look, you can appreciate it's "cold" beautyhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

I first tried my usual 30e, but it was a real disaster. The cups were far too big, too high on the sides it cut into the armpit, the underwires to wide (about 2cm). The top of the cups was empty. I decided to go down one cup size even though I wasn't sure if this style could work for me. Happily, 30dd fits perfectly. The underwires are much narrower, ... the cups lower on the sides. Alice gives a very rounded shape and quite a nice cleavage on my separate boobs.

There are two little inconvenients though : the first one is straps width, only 1.2 cm in my size, and they're not very stretchy. The second one is the satine band. Even though it's firm, it tends to ride up and wrinkle, it's not stable on my back. I would prefer the band a littler bit largerhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

The first time I saw pictures of the Masquerade Alice in the graphite colorway, I thought it was the most beautiful bra I had ever seen. This particular combination of pink and grey is one of my favorites, and the embroidery is stunningly gorgeous, both lavish and elegant. But reviews here and elsewhere described it as a wide and shallow bra, so I resigned myself to the fact that it wouldn’t fit me. Until one day it was on sale at zulily in my sister size of 30DD, and I couldn’t resist.

It arrived and actually turned out to be the best fitting bra I had at the time. ... The wires are a little too wide for me, but since it’s a plunge and they don’t come up very high, I don’t find that to be a huge issue. Seeing as how it accommodates my projection just fine, it’s not really all that shallow, maybe about average. (Although I suppose the fact that I’m wearing a sister size could be distorting the fit somehow, idk.) It has plenty of fullness at the center and the bottom, and I don’t get any gaping or quadboobing anywhere. It gives some pretty good cleavage too.

The only problem I have with the Alice is that, sadly, a 30 band is just too large for me. I really wish I had it in a 28E (if only those still existed), but I love it enough to keep wearing it despite the less supportive band.
