I liked how this bra looked. I think it is the right cup size and band size for me, which means that it was smaller in the cup and larger in the band than the Melissa0341 or Melissa0059 which I also tried. I would say the 80 band fits like a 34, which does make it a tighter band (since usually 34 is converted as 75) than most UK brands.
Sadly, the bra is not the right shape for me. The bottom slope is very steep. I think it might be a good bra for a woman with a lot of upper fullness. Given ...that it is a deep cup at the deepest part, it probably wouldn't work for shallow breasts, although it does have the effect of making my breasts look quite shallow in profile. I think it's designed to give a green shape.
It has fully adjustable straps but they are long straps, because I had the slider positioned on my shoulders, instead of at shoulderblade height as with most bras. If you normally can't get long enough straps, this might be a good bra for you!
The website offers an English translation but I arranged my order via email without difficulty. I placed the order on 22 February and paid by bank transfer. The package was delivered on 13 March (within Europe). The time includes the time for the payment to be received, so it was quite reasonable.
I ordered one band size up from my usual band of 34/75. For this particular bra I should have gone up two band sizes, as I still needed all the hooks in an extender. Note that I had a different experience with some of the other bras I tried, in particular the Melissa0342 (the eco cotton side support bra).
This bra is made of eco cotton and is a three-part cup. The label says 67% cotton, 30% linen, and 3% polyester. It has a thin lining of white fabric while the outside is more of a greyish yellow accented with white lace. It looks ...like a very comfortable bra, and with so much natural fabric I would expect it to be good at wicking moisture from the skin. Unfortunately this cut was not so good for me. Although it was one cup size too large the gore didn't tack. The side support model was far better for my shape. The straps on this bra are only half adjustable, and I already had to make them as short as they could go. The straps are wider on the non-adjustable part.

I ordered one band size up from my usual band of 34/75. In this case the band was quite comfortable, as opposed to the Melissa 0341, which was much tighter.

As far as this type of bra (natural and aimed at comfort) goes, I think it looks quite nice. The straps on this bra are only half adjustable, and I already had to make them as short as they could go.

I ordered one band size up from my usual band of 34/75. I should have gone two sizes up, as I needed the full length of my extender to try it. The cups were also far too large for me. I would say it runs larger than any of the other Melissa models I have tried thus far. Because the cups were two or three sizes too big for me, it poked me in the armpits and I was unable to check anything else about the fit because I just wanted to remove it.
It is a pretty color but more of a full-coverage bra ...than I realized...or maybe it just seems that way because it is so big on me. The green is very bright and refreshing. The straps are only partially adjustable. The straps get wider and are lace-trimmed in the non-adjustable part.
