One of my main fitting challenges is my firm tissue, in abundance at the sides. It takes high wires at the sides and high wings to keep my breasts front and center. Other than the side bulging, this fits great. The 30F Masquerade Amor Sweetheart Moulded Bra doesn't lock in my side tissue. It's a shame, because this could've functioned as the smooth bra everyone needs to wear under certain clothes. It has an elegant, sophisticated, sexy look, and jewel tones are my favorite. I LOVE this deep blue color, which they called Midnight. It's not a navy blue bordering on black. It's more like a deep sapphire. I'm not going to whine, but I am sad. It's taken me months to get over this not working for me.

The 30FF Masquerade Amor Sweetheart Moulded Bra in Berry is larger than the same bra in the same size in the Sapphire color. This was a failed attempt to get high enough underwires on the sides to capture my side tissue. The bra looks like a decent fit only because the rigid nature of the moulded cups prevents wrinkling. I returned this bra.

I was really looking forward to a smooth cup bra in a gorgeous jewel tone. Unfortunately the 30FF Masquerade Amor Sweetheart Moulded Bra is too big in the cups for me. I thought going up a cup would help me get underwires high enough under my arms, to capture my side tissue. The excess cup space isn't visible because of the moulded nature of the cups, but I decided to return this bra. It's a shame, because it works well under clingy tops.

I LOVE this bra. It is so pretty, the material feels great, and it gives me a beautiful shape. The band is definitely on the tight side, so I would probably suggest sizing up unless you're like me and like really tight bands; I think a 28 band in this would be really good for someone who needs 26s. I also measure in the middle of 28E/F, so if you're somewhat in between cup sizes like I am, I suggest going with your larger size. The gore is quite pokey which I guess isn't super surprising considering that something their sister brand Cleo is known for.

Edit: After wearing ... it a few more times I've come to realize that the band is very tight, even too tight for me; I could barely wear it for an hour each time I tried. It also doesn't have enough immediate projection for me so if you often have a problem with that then I might skip on this one. It's unfortunate because like I said, it's a very pretty bra and gives a great shape.

Very pretty, well constructed. Could barely fasten band - very snug for a 32.

Fits very similar to Cleo Jude, but just a little fancier and more sophisticated looking. Cups do the same thing Jude does too, where they try really hard to crease at the bottom.

I've always been a sucker for Masquerade's padded styles, but sometimes feel that they are overembellished for me. The Amor looked perfect on a monitor- clean lines, smooth finish, shimmery satin. ...

I love this bra! I own it in 32F(UK), and it fits beautifully. When measured loosely, my ribcage is 31 inches, and I wear this bra comfortably on the loosest hook. This bra perfectly contours my natural shape. It has seams but they are not terribly pronounced.

Pros:
Incredibly comfortable - does not rub anywhere
Perfect round uplifted shape
Thin straps
Fully adjustable
Good construction

Cons:
Only thing I wish is that it came in beige or white

I'm not usually a fan of molded bras, but as I was in a physical shop it was easy to try bras I wouldn't normally consider, such as this one, which has several features which make it an unlikely choice for me, in addition to being molded: only two hooks, relatively narrow straps, plunge, and a completely different size than I normally need. The fit was nonetheless quite good when I first tried it on; how it stands up to use remains to be seen. It's very hard for me to find bras without lace and bows which are still not beige and boring, so I ... appreciate the two tones of blue (the color is called "sapphire" on the label) and the complete lack of ribbons and other extras. It is one of the more androgynous bras I have seen in a while.

It should be noted that this is not a seamless bra; there is a seam running from the bottom of the cup partway up, and the shinier blue fabric that covers most of the cup is sewn on the molding about two inches from the top of the cup.

The band was initially tight; I typically wear a 36 in Panache and a 34 in other brands, but I needed this 36 with a little extension.

The cups run big, as I usually wear a 36G in Panache (and 34GG in other brands), and this is a 36F.

Update: I've only had this bra for a month and a half. Wearing it once a week and treating it properly (handwashing, flat drying) I was disappointed to see that it has started to rip. I don't expect that, especially not from a bra that was more expensive than most of my bras. The tear is at the side seam on the band, where the back part of the band has torn off for the top layer of fabric. I am therefore rating the quality of this bra as poor.
