Love the look and style of this bra! I took a chance hoping this would fit and sadly it did not. I did find this bra in a 28G on ebay that worked beautifully. I think this would best fit a 28DD or possible E.

This one is perfect in the band but surprisingly too small in the cup, something that almost never happens. I can squish into it and look acceptable (even after scooping) some days, but just barely. It actually looks even worse in the pictures than I thought it did. Very much still want to try it in 28DD.*

*Edit: 28DD fits better, but the straps are too wideset and dig into armpits. Antoinette and I are just not meant to be.

fits much better than the 28D, although the straps are even more uncomfortably wide set, digging into my armpits if I reach forward. aside from that, the band is nice and tight and the cups seem like a decent fit.

Edit: They do actually quad a little bit. I tried to wear it recently and have decided that I just can't deal with these wide-set straps. They make arm movements a chore and it's not worth it for a bra I can only wear under thick fabrics.

Augh, this bra.

This is a bra for FOB boobs. This is the only conclusion I can come to. Mine are FOT. This was also too narrow for me, which I kind of expected, since it's a cup size down from my calculated size (28DD). Buuuuut...once I hiked the underwire up to my breast root (ignoring the feeling of wires on breasts), I found that that the apex of the cup matched mine perfectly. But I didn't quite fill the bottom out, leading to a lumpy profile. Siiiiiiiigh.

And because I didn't fill out the bottom, the top of the cup folded in and cut into my breast tissue. ... Quadboob galore. I'm pretty sure, if I had enough bottom fullness, I'd be pushing the cups out enough to make it fairly open on top. It looks like it should be open on top. But that only happens if you have enough bottom fullness to fill the cup. Otherwise, the cups panic and scrunch in and you get orange in a glass.

The band is a teeny bit stretchy, which may be because I got it from another user, but it still felt great on the loosest hook. I do prefer 28 bands to 30 bands, even if I have little squish. The straps were comfortable and fully adjustable (yay!). There's boning on the sides.

28 band bras, why so difficult? *shakes fist*

This one didn't fit well at all...The shape of this one is probably best suited for someone even more shallow than mine or perhaps I could try a bigger cup size. The cups flipped back out at the top which I think is supposed to help even out shallower busts. The shape of the cups was a little weird on the one I received however. They were slightly conical and one side was misshapen so the cup sort of collapsed on itself. The ribbons on the straps also started scratching me after a while but that is an easy fix.

The fabric of the bra is nice and soft, however. If only the shape wasn't so strange.

The Antoinette is a beautiful bra. I fell in love with the sky blue/charcoal color combination when I saw it online, and it is even more beautiful in person, where you can appreciate all the details like the little jewels on the ends of the bow at the gore. What I couldn’t tell from the pictures is that it is also made of soft and comfortable fabric which feels pleasant on the skin.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit. The wire width is the same as other Masquerade bras in 28F, but it is much shallower than any other Masquerade bra I’ve tried. I am in between sizes (28E/F), and I ... tried it in the larger size, but I still get quadboob, and going up any further in the cup would make the wires too wide. The quadboob looks particularly odd with the pointy shape of this bra, like there is one point at the apex and another at the lip of the bra. Plus I keep feeling like the thing is sliding down, which might or might not be my imagination. It is clearly just not the right shape for my above average projection.

Unlike most Masquerade bras in this size, the band has three hooks instead of just two, nor is it excessively firm, more like a regular 28 band.

I desperately wanted to like this bra, but alas - it does not fit. It gives me a ton of quadboob, and I look very very flat. Disappointment.

Found that this beautiful bra comes out smaller in the cup than my beloved freya totally tartan longline. i will definately need to size up in the cup and probably down in the band too, maybe 28G or 30FF - if anyone can help, i would be happy to swap?!

I really love this bra. It's super comfortable, and it just feels luxurious. The only thing is that the straps are too far apart, so they almost go under my arm, which is annoying.

I love the contruction of this bra - 3 hooks, tall wings and wires, it contains my armpit chub and is very stable. This is technically the loosest band I own, but the 3 hook width (ie extra grip) helps it stay in place. The wires are almost too sturdy, I need to get pliers out to bend them to my torso, and to bend the gore away from me. It isn't by any means an invisible bra, but the top edge isn't too bad under thin sweaters etc. I had to move the straps in by an inch, but they STILL aggravate my prominent tail of spence.
