I purchased this bra quite some time ago, but the band was much smaller than I am accustomed to in a thirty, so it's been sitting in my closet, unworn. It does seem like it would be quite comfortable - it's soft, lightly padded and has medium-sized straps, plus the lace at the top doesn't seem like it would cut in. I absolutely adore the pattern - it's super cute.

The wires on this bra distort easily, with any amount of tension applied to the band, so would be good for wide roots.

This bra does not allow for much center or upper fullness, so was not a good fit for me. The apexes of the cups are too far apart, as though it's designed for a torso that is wider and flatter than mine, with breasts more widely spaced.

The fabric of the bra is quite soft, and the design is really cute though, I'm sad this really doesn't work for me.

Mignight Grace Heidi Halterneck Bikini Set from Figleaves in Ivory/Black Top Size 26GG + Matching Heidi Classic Brief Size 8 - This underwired halterneck bikini top features lightly padded cups for great shape and support, wide adjustable halterneck straps for comfort and a clasp back fastening. The matching brief is immensely flattering and features good rear coverage and flexible fit. The Midnight Grace Heidi bikini set combines stylish stripes with pretty polka dots and is sure to stand out! Designed to support and flatter a larger bust, this bikini set is glamorous without having to compromise on that all important support.

Please note that ... the tags of the bikini top state size 30G. However I had the original 30 band (which ran small) professionally altered and the result is a 26" or firm 28" due to the highly stretchy nature of the fabric. Therefore this is best suited for those of you whom are borderline 28" and prefer tight bands + G cup or the sister size down of 26GG.

I have measured the altered band as follows. Unstretched in a resting position from clasp to clasp measures exactly 52cm which converts to 20". Fully stretched to the maximum length from clasp to clasp measures exactly 66cm which converts to 26". Unfortunately there is not enough fabric to be let out of the band should you feel so inclined. The remaining detailed measurements are as follows : cup width measures 16cm, cup depth measures 23cm, wire length is 27cm, gore height measures 8cm whilst the wing height measures 10cm and the strap width of the halter ties measure 5cm for optimum support. It would be ideal for you to compare these measurements against one of your newer best fitting bras, as this will be the best method in determining if this will be a good fit for you (bearing in mind the highly stretchy nature of swimwear fabric).

This retro set was purchased immediately upon the launch of the Figleaves Summer 2012 Collection and proved to be an immensely popular style and rapidly sold out across the size range. This rare collectors item is BNWT RRP £46. The shop swing tag of the top was removed by my tailor during the alteration process, whilst the matching bottoms feature all tags attached and hygiene sticker in place. Bag a bargain and treat yourself to this stylish summer holiday essential! From a smoke/pet-free home.

This makes my boobs look a little cone-like, but I love the projection. The center gore can occasionally dig in but I think I'm just sensitive to the scratchy fabric. I have to pull the straps in-when they are perfectly vertical it's practically off my shoulders.

The sizing is really off on this bra - the band is so short, I can wear the bra as a hat. It's probably more like a 28GG or H than a 30G. I really like the look of this bra (tres sexi) but it does give a significant retro look - boobs are lifted, pointed, and a little downward-sloping in profile. This could be because the band is so small that the shape is deforming, not sure. I'd like to try this in a 32FF, but the sizing is so inconsistent in this brand that it would be a major gamble.

This bra almost fits me. The cups are too small, which I feared when getting trying the 30G. I believe I am a 30G/GG/H. I cannot tell if it actually runs small, or if it is just me (I am a novice here). My only real issue is the quad-boob effect, which I think would be corrected with a larger cup size. Otherwise, it would be a cute and comfortable bra. Since my boobs are full on the bottom, I like a good push from the under wire and molded cups for lift for a more cleavage-y look. Many of the bras I try on run too high into my arm pits, and this bra seems that it would rest comfortably.

Wrong size for me, I have trouble filling the bottoms of the cups and quad boobing.

This bra is so cute. If I could wear it around without clothes I would, especially with the matching thong. Sadly, the fit is off. It seems all my Figleaves bras have the same problem... They give me a quad boob on the bottom but have lots of wrinkling at the top (anyone that can help solve this mystery will be forever in my gratitude!).
This one the top of the gore does not touch my sternum by any means, which is odd because the band is firm and tight.
The main issue I have is the straps. Gah these things hurt. They are very skinny with almost ... no stretch to them. This pain continues down through my armpits as it cuts in there too.
The shape is rather pointy, and slightly east/west just because of the cup separation I think. Luckily the east/west doesn't show under shirts, as I still look nice and slim! The pointed shape is relatively flattering though I feel I have to keep adjusting all day.
The colors and lace that I love about this bra unfortunately make it rather difficult to wear. Nothing light/see-through and nothing tight, else all the lines will show. Rather unfortunate because the pointed shape is kind of nice. The fabric is also relatively weak so I don't feel like I get a lot of support. There's a lot of bouncing going on.
This would be a really cute bra on someone... I wish it fit me better.
