Realized these Keia/Rubypink bras maybe should have been worn on the final hook and taken a 28 when originally bought although I was new to "actual size" bra ranges and couldn't even find 28's when sizing myself and buying them. Good for occasional wear. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This is one of my fave Ruby Pink bras even though I'm not huge into pink. The band is stretchy but the cups are well fitting, the embroidery is done well, and the bows aren't itchy or overdone. I get a nice rounded shape instead of the bullets I get with my Freya's.
If I could find the name of this bra I would highly recommend if it can still be found.
This is a very pretty, lacy bra. The colors on the packaging said lime with lavender. I don't know that I would call it lime, more of a seafoam green in my opinion. The lavender is the lacy overlay. The cups are soft, I think something like a silk. It's definitely not a t-shirt bra, as the lace would show through too easily. The detailing on the straps is very pretty as well. It has a 3-hook fastener, which I like. The band is very stretchy, and I can guess that if the cups hold up okay, the band will get loose fairly quickly. I paid $18 for it, so it's not like I'm out a ton of money either way. I really like the soft pastel coloring and the design of it. I don't know that I'll wear it frequently because I do wear so many t-shirts, but I'll give it a go with heavier shirts or shirts that are textured maybe.
The band is quite stretchy. The top of the cups are very stretchy creating a tightening effect across the main overall shape = it's not pretty and shows through my shirts. Color is pastel aqua/green & lavender. Gives a much better shape than Freya. The pant is a different shade of green than the bra which is strange. :-/
The band is quite stretchy. The cups fit well and give a nice shape however the embroidery isn't well done and it coming loose (see photo). https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I am happy the straps don't have bows but I also don't love the cream color so I hardly wear this bra. Gives a much better shape than Freya.
Well, this sucks. I went to measure the bra and when I stretched the band over 20cm one of the wires popped through. I knew the materials weren't high quality but now I'm sad. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Very stretchy band (over 20cm!!!) but the cups had fit well enough to wear.. I'll have to see if it can be mended back in to wear again. Cream color = blech. Gives better shape than pieced-cup Freya.
Ack, that sucks! I'm terribly sorry about the underwire :-\. Weird though that the band has so much stretch and the bra can't cope with it. I suppose the back must not be very supportive then

Gives a much better shape than Freya. The pant is a different white than the bra which makes me wear it much less often. :-/
