This is a beautiful bra, black with pink embroidery. It has a cute pink flower at the top of the center gore with a rhinestone in the middle of it. It has fully adjustable straps. I purchased it years ago when trying to figure out my size but never returned it.
Gives good cleavage and roundness of breast. Maybe order a size up though. It's called "padded" but it's actually a push-up. There was a cute bow in the back which is partially why I bought it in the first place. But after I didn't need the bow anymore I ended up cutting the bow off so I could wear the bra under clothes.
A pretty basic black lace bra with a slight east-west shape. This one is pretty snug all over, especially compared to the Pour Moi St. Tropez Full Cup (PM-7702) that I've worn before. I'd say it's more like a 32J. This is a perfectly serviceable comfortable bra, just a bit too small for me all over.
This is just too small for me. Sometimes, even though I’m really a 30G, 32E’s will fit. I guess because of the band being loose, it's more accommodating. I guess that doesn't work with soft-cups https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> And the wires are a bit wide/high on me. Its such a shame because I really like the construction of this bra. I love the rose bouquet/long ribbons in the middle, and the hot pink inside of the cups. Lace lays flat under clothes and straps are nice and comfy. Also, on the top hem of the inside of the cup, there is a small rubber/latex/silicon? strip. It seems like that would be very helpful at holding everything in https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
I usually wear 28 bands and it would definitely be the best option in this model as well. However, the band is okay for now. I wear it in the middle hooks at the first wear, and in the tightest at the second wear, then I wash the bra.
The wires are good and wide enough for me and they are comfortable. Cups give a nice shape, it is very rounded.
Straps are okay, they adjust long / short enough for me. I usually don´t have an issue with it, the only exception ever has been EM PL Eden, where the straps did´t adjust short enough.
ETA. My boob shape changed and there is now quadboobing.
At first there was some slight wrinkling at the bottom of cups but I don´t see it any more. So I will mark thif bra as a fitting one https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

So far this is my best fitting bra! It's the only one where the gore will lie flat, even when I have extra cup room!!! I think this is because the gore is shorter than average. I have naturally close set breasts that have spread out due to pore support. So while my bottom heavy breasts can't fill out larger cups, when my breasts get enough support they naturally move inward and push against the gore.
It also gives a great shape and some nice natural looking cleavage. I love the way it looks under clothes too! The shorts that go with it are also beautiful, delicate, and really flattering. I love putting the whole set on. It makes me feel really sexy, in a very classy way.
Bottom line: Good for a night out (or in) and if you trouble getting the gore to behave!!!
I purchased this bikini top along with the matching side-tie bottoms in the beautiful "India" colourway from ASOS as it was heavily discounted and postage to Australia is free - a rare and wonderful thing. This top is very poorly engineered and that's a shame because it looks very nice. As other online reviewers have noted, it can be difficult to tie the band in a way that it is firm enough around the ribcage. My ribcage comfortably measures 72cm and I do not like tight bands. Even though I could manage to tie the top in a way that felt firm enough for my liking, the fit of the ...top was so distorted that leads me to believe this could only work better for someone with larger under bust measurement. The cups seem to run a bit large though I can't say that with certainty. They seem to be tall (both under the arm and on the chest) and wide. The wires are long and poke under the arm and the gore is not low enough to be classified as a plunge in my opinion. I am too close-set for the gore height and cup separation. If I were to re-order this top I would take at least one cup size smaller but due to poor construction and shape incompatibility, I won't be doing that. When I hold the cups up to myself they seem as though they would fit OK except they are too tall for me (I problem I have with almost every bra) and thus provide more coverage than I'd like. The width of the cups is 17.5cm but when I tie up the band appropriately, the cups widen to somewhere in the realm of 23cm and end up sitting towards my back. The wires are flimsy and far too weak to work in a bikini top that ties at the back. The effect of this is that the cups and their contents are flattened and the halterneck ties end up somewhat under my arms which means they cannot give proper support. I was very disappointed with this top and so it will be returned to ASOS. I'm sure I would have fared better in a cup size smaller but it wouldn't solve the issues of poor construction and therefore would not support me properly or look flattering when worn. I really think this top needs to be redesigned with rigid wires and perhaps a clasp at the back. Pour Moi create other swimwear tops with a very similar design (such as the Cosmopolitan bikini) with a back clasp so why not try it with a model as popular as the Azure?
This is the first bra I have tried in a 30E, and I honestly wouldn't recommend it. It is just a very bizarre bra.
When I ordered it online I thought it was really pretty and reasonable from the picture, which made it look like a small cup. When I pulled it out I found it was HUGE, as if it was full coverage. So, the photo wasn't accurate in my opinion.
This bra is largely uncomfortable as well. No matter what hook it's on (I really need a 28 so I hook it on the last one, but I've tried them all) the underwires dig into my skin and hurt. They are very high under the armpit as well.
The cups have a tendency to give me quad boob and gape at the top at the same time.
All in all, this bra doesn't work for me and fits very strangely.
Very, very padded. Very, very thick stitching on the cups. Gives super, unnatural appearing cleavage, but I don't know what you could possibly wear it with.
This is the best fitting bra I've ever owned! I don't know why, but the shape is perfect for me!
First, this bra runs very small. I have a 32F but it fits more like a 28FF. I'm not sure if the entire brand is this way but this model runs small.
I don't care for pink but the style is really nice. The cups are lightly lined, not molded. There is attractive lace, bow, and a lace type cover over the bra. The center gore runs pretty high. At first it was pretty uncomfortable but now it doesn't bother me at all. It gives me great shape and I can even wear it under t-shirts.
My only qualm with this bra is the band stretches pretty fast. I wish it came in a 30F.
I really liked the color and style of the bra and I thought it would work for my shallow 30F breasts... wrong! the 30 band felt way too tight and the cups cut into my boobs, giving me the dreaded quadboob. Maaybe the band is true too size and the reason why I felt it was tight is because the cups are too small. Too bad I cant size up since the style only runs from A-F cup. Will be returning the bra
The cups are very narrow and deep. Also, the cups seem to run a size big while the band is a bit tight for a 30. I have 26" underbust and I can wear this on the tightest hooks, whereas many times I can't even do that with other 30s.
This bra is very pretty, however the cups are just a bit too big for me. I also need a tighter band for this bra. It is very comfortable. It is full coverage for me, the cups may be a bit too high for my breast shape.
I routinely wear a 40F. In this bra I wore a 38F, which is down a cup size and down a band size. I would've gone down 2 cup sizes, but the cups were about 1/2 inch not deep enough (meaning that the F cup was still a little too big, particularly on top).
Very comfortable bra. It has side cup wings that help with structure. It feels solid, and the material feels of good quality.
I was all set to rave about the Imogen Rose Cotton Mix at a whopping $35 (!), but it came out of the VERY FIRST wash with a ...wire poking out of the center gore. So, so sad.
To be fair, the label does call for hand washing, which I did not do. I wash all of my bras in the washing machine, and then hang dry. Generally, my bras last about 2 years. I've never had one go bust on the first go. Will not buy again.
UPDATE: I also bought the 38E at the same time, not knowing which size would fit better, and even after this bra busted, I willingly and happily wore the size down because it remains one of my more comfortable bras. And, I've had no problems with the 38E wires. I've decided the busted wire was user error, or perhaps just a fluke. I will most certainly be buying this again - and in the 38F size.

So, the 38F was the bra that fit my bust properly, and it popped a wire the first time I washed it. However, when I ordered the 38F, I also ordered a 38E to try, unsure of how it would fit me. The E cup was just slightly snug across the top of my breasts - not quite a quadboob, but close. Also, while I stand the gore sits against my sternum, but when I sit it pops out a little. It doesn't quite fit, but it's still one of my more comfortable bras. I know I said with the 38F that I wouldn't order this again, but I've washed the 38E a couple of times (in the machine, then hang to dry), and have had no problems with it. I love this bra. It's not sexy or terribly pretty even, but it's wonderfully comfortable, affordable, and a really good all-pourpose bra.
This bra is a great padded/push up, which I find hard to find in my size. It was about $30 from ASOS which I was very happy with. It is a very pretty, lacy bra. The band is quite tight, perhaps more like a 28 than a 30. The cups fit me perfectly. It gives nice cleavage, that is not over the top. It also gives a nice shape under tops. The underwire is a bit hard against my ribs, so I probably wouldnt wear it as an everyday work bra, and instead more as a going out bra. EDIT: I have since bent the underwires and now it is perfect. I put a bit of a curve to the underwire under the middle of my breasts, and now it doesn't sit so hard and painful under my breasts. Also to reiterate the cleavage is wonderful and it makes my breasts look lovely
Very beautiful bra bur band is too loose for me (it's fits only on tightest set) and cups are too big. Wires are narrow - in 32h are almost on the spot, this is the reason I'm not trying 32gg - wires will be too narrow. Recommend bra to girls who need narrow wires. Bra gives good lift and shape.
I really love this bra. It's great for my shape, comfortable, and is really pretty. Unfortunately, it runs small and they don't make a cup larger than F for this style. I have a 30F but I think it's safe to say it fits more like a 28F. I think I might even try to find a 32F since it runs so small.
The band is VERY tight, almost too tight, and I usually wear a 28 band. I don't mind it though since I'd rather it be too tight than loose. The color is really nice and bright. It has nice bow accents and the straps adjust almost the whole way.
I don't know what to think about this bra. I kind of love the quality and the immediate projection at the bottom, but I don't think I'd be able to find my correct size in this brand.
BAND: Slightly tight for me. Curves down at the fastenings WAY too much for my ribcage/back shape. To wear one that fit properly, I'd have to angle my fastenings/hooks or alter the angle of how they are attached. WIRE: Slightly too wide. Super strong. STRAPS: Dig into arm creases. Too wideset. Seem sturdy. CUP: Fits at base. Floppy on top. Way too tall for my boob. I think it's supposed to be a balconette, but it's trying to crawl over my shoulder.
Aesthetics: Very pretty. Subtle embroidery on cups. Pretty lace.
I will probably relist it after I get pictures of it.
