Love the Haydee. Fits very comfortable and it is a beautiful bra. It has a retro - there's a slight "torpedo" shape to it, but it is not exagerated, I'd say it's like a torpedo-shape bra for the modern times. It may not please all, though. This particular shape, I believe, is what makes the Haydee have deeper cups than other Masquerade bras - definitely quite a bit deeper than my all-time favorite, the Capella. That accounts for the fact that my fit in Haydee is the 28D, wehereas in the Capella it's the 28E. I'd say my "real" size is the 28DD, but the Capella is particularly ... shallow, and the Haydee is particularly deep.

Fabric: satiny and gorgeous. The blush+black combination is beautiful.
Straps: quite wide and very comfortable. Suits me fine.
Band: I'd say it is possibly not as snug as the Capella, but still snug enough for me to start wearing it in the first clasp.

No laces and frill make the Haydee a good choice for wearing with "revealing" fabrics also, as long as not too clingy.
Only con I find is that the cups could enclose my breasts a bit more in the underarm - could be a bit wider.

This bra is very pretty but it's huge! I have two bras from Panache already which are 28D which fit well (Harmony), but this one fits looser than a Calvin Klein 30D that I have. The cups are way too wide and too deep for me, and the back is too loose as well. The cups are actually so wide the underwires come back to about the middle of my sides under my arms. It's not very comfortable because the seams on the inside where the straps are attached to the band aren't finished and it doesn't give me any better support than the 32B's I'm trying to filter out of my bra wardrobe. It's very pretty and I love the materials used however. The Haydee feels sturdy and has a good amount of padding for a formed cup bra but it's just way too big. I am hoping I can sew pads inside of it and wear it as a push-up.
