Adorable bra, just too small for me in the cups.
Very firm band.

The band: It runs tight. So it's suitable for 28-underbust and also 30-underbust who likes their band to be really snug.
The cup: It doesn't cut my full on top boobs. It's deep.
The fit: I have wrinkles on the side, but that's because I have narrow roots. However after my breasts settles during the day, the wrinkles are very minimum.
The shape: Natural. Those who wants Cleo-round won't like this bra.https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

The first thing that struck me about this bra was is cuteness. I bought it in the yellow/white colorway and it is almost too cute for me to handle.
This bra is generally comfortable, with a firm band. Its major problem is its annoying too-long gores, which poke occasionally throughout the day and incessantly if I am laying down. The straps are also almost too long for me, and slip off very occasionally. (I'm about 5'3".) Modifications will be made, but I'll definitely be keeping it.
Edit: After months of having this bra and making some modifications to the underwire, it's become my favorite bra. If you are petite and/or ... find the wires to be wide, you can tweak the wires in order to keep them from stabbing.
I bent both wires in the middle of the cups to make them form a curve that points out from the body (see link), and bent the outer sides of the wires inward to make the wire tops bend away from my chest and armpits. The bra is now finally worth keeping.

Well this was a huge fail. I purchased the yellow version. It is far too small - it nearly fit on my ten-year-old sister, as a matter of fact (a plain 34DD molded bra is the size that comes closest to fitting her normally). I also purchased a 28 DD for my daughter at the same time, in magenta, and that one seems more true-to-size in the cup although the band was more snug than her Curvy Kate Lottie.
The mesh and lace were stiff and itchy for me. I love the colors of this bra, though, and am sad that I can't wear it. Once this baby weans I may be able to use it though, so it goes in the drawer of 'too tiny in the cup' storage.Updated on Mar 01, 2013 Flag this

Band fits firm, not uncomfortably so, I'd say it runs more true to size. The cups come up a bit high in the front for me, and I don't have enough upper fullness to fill the tops 100% (I'd say about 85% is filled on the tops). I think this cut is definitely more suited to full on top shapes. The gore tacks but digs into my sternum. If I were keeping the bra I would have to bend them out.
Colorway is stunning! It reminds me of strawberry lemonade. I'm so sad this doesn't work for me. Maybe a Cup or two down in this style would be best for me.This bra is not owned any more

Center gore tacks, but is uncomfortable. If I were to keep it, it would need to be bent. I can't quite fill the cups due to the band being way too loose. The straps are only partly adjustable, but that wasn't a big issue for me.
Colorway is beautiful, great details, looks fabulous, but the fit is off on me. I shouldn't have listened when people said that Miss Mandalay runs small in the band, I think they are fairly standard, TBH.This bra is not owned any more

I bought this one in yellow. In person, the fabric is a bit stiffer than the non-padded underwired bras that I'm used to, but it is still quite nice and the stiffer fabric helps retain a nice shape as the fabric is semi-sheer. I'd read that this bra runs small in the band and cup and I usually wear a 32H, so I bought a 34GG and 34H from Bravissimo. I tried on the 34H on first and I'm glad I went for the 34 band. The fabric is so stiff that a 32 would have been quite uncomfortable, even though it would have fit. My breasts are very full on top, so sometimes I have issues with this kind of style. This bra fits my right breast quite well, but cuts in slightly on my larger left breast. It does give a good shape, though slightly splayed. The underwires do come up high under the arm, though, and I'm 5'5"! I think anyone with a very short torso will have issues with the underwires.

don't you want to list it? I'm looking for the Paige bra but the closest size to my 32G I can find is 30GG which I'm afraid is gonna be too small
