The bra is absolutely gorgeous, I think I squealed a bit when I first saw it. The main material is a violet mesh, double layer in bottom sections, one layer on top. The entire bra is embroidered in a curving thin dark purple vine and leaf pattern, the top edge has geometric embroidered detailing in the same color as well as tiny flowers embroidered in three different shades of purple. The top section, center gore and beginning of straps also have a pinkish embroidered leaf motif. The center gore features a pinkish bow.
This bra reminds me of Curvy Kate a bit in structure and look somehow. It ... has the shape that Curvy Kate bras want to have but don't quite seem to manage to perfect. It has plenty of room at the bottom and it gives a lovely lift from bottom and sides aimed right at your clavicle. The shape isn't as in your face up and rounded as Cleo while it isn't "natural" or pointy either. It is uplifted with just a touch of a point and the overall effect doesn't emphasize breast size.
The underwires are definitely on the soft side and I get why their largest size is only two volumes above this (80I). The underwires just wouldn't be able to handle more weight well. I think the underwires might be even softer than Freya's but unlike Freya that irritated me I find these to be really comfy.
After wearing this bra a couple of times:
I am getting even more of a Curvy Kate vibe because this bra also gets a mild upside down 7 effect when it's too small. It is just a tiny bit too small for me, there is cutting in along the top edge for my larger breast and the center gore has trouble tacking because it doesn't have as much center fullness as my breasts need. It would probably be enough for most people, just not for me.
