AW2011-AW2012 - Padded half cup bra with a three-piece cup.

This bra is discontinued.
This remains my all time favorite UK bra. I loved Masquerade bras, and was disappointed when they were discontinued. The fit is great, especially if you need the narrow wires typically found in Polish brands. The fabrics and embroidery are all miles above typical UK brands.

Though I'm a dedicated Ewa Michalak/Comexim fangirl, I've been interested to try more readily available brands/styles known to have good projection (e.g., Masquerade Rhea, Antoinette, or Delphi). The Delphi was my least preferred style to try but I found such a great deal I figured it was worth a try, for diagnostic purposes if nothing else. The projection is better than I expected but I could have still used more, however the main issue, as I anticipated, was this size being large on me, and I was really right - it's at least a cup size or two off. In person it's also a little mature in style for my taste as I thought it might be, but the satiny straps that widen from 0.5" at the cup attachment to 1.125" at the widest point are a beautiful feature. Not for me but it'll be listed soon for someone else who's interested!

Its hard to tell in the pix, but this bra is charcoal satin, a nice switch from black. The dramatic lace overlay is highlighted with subtle royal purple along the top edge. The straps are unique - they are non-stretch satin, and widen out up to the shoulders. Its a vintage look, Masquerade's studied aesthetic. Delightful narrow wires with half-cup height on sides and gore, deep cotton-lined 3 part cups almost horizontal and open on top: here comes lift lift lift for a stunning Renaissance cleavage and round apples from the side. Gold metal fixtures add another touch of class. Band is very firm, the whole bra is pretty firm in fact, you're not slouching around here you are showing what ya got! I feel slightly naughty in this bra...

Very silky feeling. Looks so sexy.

Pretty barmaid cleavage produced by shallow cups. (Those same shallow cups give a flattened-against-window look under shirt.) I find this uncomfortable for my shape, though. The seam is uncomfortable against the breast tissue due to the overly shallow cup. The satin parts are the biggest problem--both the front of the straps and the front bit of the bra band don't stretch because they're satin not elastic. Because I have rib flares on both sides, the non-stretch section is a problem. This causes both straps and band to feel too small and too big at the same time (because the back halves are made of stretchy elastic, apparently to compensate.) Rode up in back but cut in painfully on rib flares, and cut into shoulders if I tightened the straps enough to prevent cup gaping. So pretty, but the detailing showed through most things, even with a tank over it.

Waaaay too tight in the band! Cups are a little loose, too, for me.

I loved this bra but it no longer fits so I now have the black/ivory in my size instead.

The cups of this bra have a good amount of immediate projection for my conical shape. The cups run true to size. I'm in between a D and DD this bra is slightly too big on the top, which is typical for me. This bra is in the nude colorway and it's very pretty. It's got intricate embroidery that has a shine to it. The straps are a little odd...they are made of polyester and they're double layered - they get wider toward the top. I have no problem with this, but because of this, you can only adjust the straps less than half the length of the ... entire strap. This might be a problem for someone with a small torso. The band also runs small. I will probably need to use a band extender. Even though I can hook it, the material has little to no stretch to it. A bigger band and smaller cup size would have been a good choice for me. Also, the cups have a very nice lining. For someone with bigger breasts, this would probably give a good cakes on a plate look.

First of all, this bra is really pretty. I love the embroidery and the contrast trim. It has a really decent amount of projection to it, especially for a padded bra. Unfortunately, I do not have enough upper fullness to fill it out properly, which leaves an annoying ridge under my clothes. Too bad for me.

This is a gorgeous bra, but the shape of the cups just does not work for me at all. The way they're cut at the top, plus the lace overlay, means that i have a very distinct bra-line, which doesn't work for me.
