I knew I was taking a risk with this bra, as I couldn't find any information on it or similar cuts here or on Reddit.
Band: The band has four columns of hooks, which I found unusual. Perhaps it was an effort to make up for the stretchy band. It was not enough, in my case. The band is quite generous and rides up even on the tightest hook. Laid out and un-stretched, the band was about 2" longer than the band of my Cleo Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) in 28E.
Gore: The gore of this bra rejects my boobs. I am not sure if this ... is a cup depth issue or a band tightness issue-- when I press the underwire to me as it should fit, the gore tacks.
Cups: I experience some gaping at the top of the cup, I think due to the loose band and non-tacking gore. I find the cups a good depth, and as mentioned above, when I press to underwire to me as it should fit, the cups do not gape. I would recommend this bra to someone even to full on top.
Straps: The straps are half-adjustable. They do not adjust short enough for me. The straps are also pretty wide-set, I would say wider than Cleo Juna Balconnet Bra (6461) in 28E. I am short and have a small frame, which I'm sure contributes to these fit issues.
Feel: The cotton padding on the inside seems very comfortable. The silk is luxurious!
For reference, my best fit is Cleo Marcie in 28E. Cleo Juna and sister cuts in 28E are a decent fit as well.
With all that said...anyone want to buy it and the matching boyshorts?
