  1. Amor Sweetheart Moulded Bra (6766)

    I love this bra. This is the first and only molded cup I've found so far that does not have straps way in my armpits, while having a narrow enough cup and enough depth (haven't tried any Polish brands yet). I love it so much I have two. There as a little bit of a break in period required for the band, as it's VERY firm on my 27" ribcage, but I just used an extender. I'm almost on the verge of quadboobing, but don't, and the narrow/low gore is wonderful for low-cut shirts. I don't fall out in the middle nearly as much as I do in the Freya Deco (4234) , because this cup shape better suits my own shape. The Deco's cups are about half an inch taller, and the armpit side of the strap is about .75" further from the gore than the Amor.

    The straps on this bra are too long for those with narrow shoulders, especially as they are satin and simply slide off.
    Lovely bra, creates a lovely rounded shape.

    This bra was just a whole big contraption of "Nope" for me. It looked terrible. The cups were the wrong shape, the band was too stiff, the straps were too far apart, it was just terrible for me. I was sad because it's such a pretty bra. I know a lot of people like vthis bra, especially in this color (it was only sold on Bravissimo), but I've tried about three different sizes and the shape is just all wrong for me.

    This is a beautiful bra but the cups are too big for me. The band is wonderful on my 26 inch ribcage as it runs very tight. I will probably try to get it in a 28F as even in the wrong size, it feels comfortable and supportive, and it is undeniably beautiful!

    this fits perfectly except the band is too tight, going to exchange for a 30FF and see if that helps. This looks VERY nice on far skin and works well for my petite frame

    This is a really nice bra, and as someone who is in between band sizes, it worked well, although the back did need a tiny bit of breaking in beforehand. The cups fit me ridiculously well, so that the skin effect works, even if I'm too pasty white for the more tan bra.

    It fit me well initially, but after wearing it for a few hours, it was clear that the cups are too small. The band became stretchier after a few washes/wears, but not too bad.

    Moulded cups. The seams on the fabric in front of the cup pucker awkwardly and show through some shirts.

    The straps fit my narrow shoulders!

    This bra is perfect everywhere but the band. I have pale skin with a blue undertone, but the illusion effect works quite well if you don't look too closely.

    The band is a bit too tight, but not enough to make it unsaveable. One extra set of hooks on an extender fixes the problem.

    I have this bra in nude satin with ice blue lace. It is gorgeous with its cameo-like pendant as a centre gore, the lace covered the cups all the way down to the band (but not all the way back to the band) and the nude satin top peeking out above the lace on top. The cups are foam padded, just like the Rhea. The band is not that stretchy and the straps are partly adjustable, something I found in common with the Rhea.

    I basically fill in the cups, except when I'm sitting, the top gapes a little, but not so much that it is noticeable under clothes. ... The centre gore is not that tall since this bra is a plunge (which is good because I have close-set boobs), but it doesn't exactly lay flat on me, and they even overlaps. I'm not really sure why is that, maybe my breasts are not suitable for plunges (I am full on top)?

    I've also noticed that the cups slides down my ribcage after a few hours of wearing. This causes the bottom of the bra to crumble under my boobs' weight. Since the straps are partly adjustable, they don't adjust short enough for me, so I unseam the straps (the satin part on the back, because it is much easier to sew them back on), pull them shorter about 1", and sew them again. I find with this adjustment, the cups sits higher on my chest and the fit become much better. They also don't slide down anymore.

    The width of the cups are a little wide on me, but it doesn't cause discomfort on me. The wires are shorter than their casing (?), so I find them sliding around while wearing the bra. The wings are high, which I like because it prevents underarm fat.

    The shape on me is not as round as Cleo Lucy, but rather the green shape, which I don't mind. Under clothes it is pretty seamless except for one of the part on top where the lace overlaps themselves. It looks like I have weirdly placed nipples under clothes. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> I can just snip the lace a bit so that they don't overlap and tack them with superglue.

    Overall I find this bra is comfortable and gorgeous. Although the band is not that stretchy, it is perfect on my 27" ribcage. I don't really feel the need to break in into this bra. It's that comfy!

    Too small in the cup and very tight in the band.

    The band in this bra does not have much stretch. I had trouble getting the bra on. It is possible that this was because the cup was too small but I can't be sure. Once I did get it on though it was not painful but bear in mind that my ribcage measures 29" so if you are a true 28" band this might be right for you.

    Even though the band could not have been snugger I felt like the bra did not support my breasts. The center gore was not tacking completely to my sternum and I ... felt like half my breast was coming out of the top. Furthermore, the bra felt like it was slipping down off my chest. All of these are indicators that the cup size was too small for me.

    I can't be certain if the 28GG would have fixed all my issues. Maybe I should steer clear of half cups (I don't know why the name of this bra says balconette, it is clearly a half cup) since they don't offer much in terms of support.

    Still, I am quite sad it didn't fit me me because this bra is beautiful. The straps are made of the same satin that lines the top of the cup and it gets wider at the top, very smooth feeling all around. The lace over the padding is very pretty. I only deducted quality because this particular bra had quite a few loose strands in the stitching.

    I would love to try a 28GG since

    My first 28G bra. I've had this in 28F before and that one was a bit too small in the cups, and the center gore didn't lie flat.

    But this one, it fits perfectly! My breasts tissue are all enclosed in the cups, the center gore lies flat against the sternum, the band is firm, I feel supported in it, I have Marie Antoinette cleavage, there's no gaping on top nor below the cups, etc. The straps, although they are halfway adjustable, but they still adjust long enough for me. All in all, I love it!

    Not sure if all the fit issues with this would have been solved with a smaller cup or not. It gapped a little at the top but folded at the bottom of the cup and just gave me a flat shape. Beautiful, well-made bra but just didn't work for me. I may give another size a try at some point though.

    German only:

    Gefällt mir nicht:
    -Die Träger waren für mich zu lang, sodass ich sie abnähen musste, um den Bh richtig tragen zu können
    -Auch sind die Träger sehr steif

    Gefällt mir:
    -Der Cuprand drückt sich nicht durch das Oberteil durch
    -Das Band ist sehr fest, auch nach Monaten der Tragedauer
    -Angenehme Bügelbreite
    -Wunervolle Passform
