Can't wear for long periods of time because cuts into side breast tissue. Beautiful bra though! I'd love to try a 30FF instead.

The only thing I really like about this bra is the width of the straps and the height of the gore and wings. The fabric is scratchy, it gives a very droopy pointy shape, it's much too small in the cup for me (although that is my fault, not the bra's), the straps are very short and hard to adjust, and I'd prefer a full-band bra. It's not nearly as pretty in person as in the catalog photos. I don't like giving such a negative review, but some bras I just can't get along with.

Very pretty bra and well made. I think that it should be great for summer as it's very lightweight and embroidery and seams are almost flat (so if it's not clinging jersey then Loretta wouldn't show through).
It's only drawback is that it's incompatible with my breast shape. I have wide root/shallow shape and this bra is just too deep for me. I can avoid major quadraboob only with straps on max (and this is not something I normally do) and in the same time I have wrinkles near the apex. And I don't think that sizing up or down is a good idea, because the volume and cup width are just right. What I need is slightly different shape.
So I think that this bra would be good for those who neither wide, nor narrow and neither shallow nor deep.
The think one should consider is that wires are very short under the arms. The band is on the bigger side of 32 and quite stretchy, but somehow it doesn't ride up on my 30" ribcage.This bra is not owned any more

The embroidery in the sheer mesh upper is beautiful. The 30 band is firm but not overly tight as the 30F Cleo Marcie's I tried recently. I bought this from Freshpair because I was curious if the Loretta's embroidery looked as good in person as online. It does. The price was excellent, too. Since I'm obsessed with the cleavage half cups give me, I shouldn't have bought this bra. I have not worn it out of the house. I only have one top that exposes enough of my chest to require a plunge. But it's winter, and I don't want to wear that top.
The wires seem to ... encase my side tissue. I have a lot of side tissue. Finding underwires wide enough is my greatest bra challenge. I wonder whether the side tissue would stay encased if I wore the Loretta for long periods of time. Because the center gore is so low, I feel there is less stability. A higher center gore, like that in a full cup or half cup bra, helps pull the side tissue to the front of my chest. I don't get that stable feeling when wearing a plunge.

This bra used to fit great, but my breasts have grown a bit, and now I believe that a 32 FF would fit more comfortable. It's a shame, since I did love this bra.
