This Tutti Rouge bralette caught my eye because of the color: I really like this deep 'classic' green!

Fit:
Tutti Rouge labels their bralettes in dual sizes, which can be kind of hit-or-miss - but they seem pretty true to size, with some 'give' due to the stretchy materials used. So the 32FF/G (sold as 32H/I through ASOS US) works out well for me. For reference I'm generally on the fuller end of a 32G UK size, and this bralette is borderline small but still keeps me feeling contained.

The band runs somewhat large, but because of its width I don't mind. Also since it's a bralette, I ... personally don't even want a super snug fitting band. Be aware that due to the strappy back, you do have to fasten this bra with your arms behind your back, which I've never been good at (but the stretchiness is actually helpful to me in this regard). I do prefer the self-fastener back over the pull-over-your-head back on Tutti's Hallie bralette though.

Support / comfort:
To me this is quite a comfortable bralette, the band hugs me gently and the cups 'hold me in' with a natural shape overall.
I generally don't require a ton of support and can happily wear this throughout a more 'casual' day.
When I'm being more active though I would reach for a different bra, this is not something I'd go hiking in.

Look:
Lovely! I like the swirly lace fabric, the awesome color, the 'simple' wide elastic band, the heart shaped sliders and the strappy back.
If you mind your bra straps showing under clothes, this may be an issue in warmer weather.

The briefs (not pictured sorry, forgot) are a nice match to the bralette; high waisted with a similar wide elastic band. Somewhat 'cheeky' in the back, which is not my favorite style. Got them in L and they're a firm fit on my 31"ish waist / 43"ish hips.

Quality:
I've worn this around 6 times and hand-washed it twice, so far it's still fine but I'm curious to see how much the band will stretch out over time. May have to take it in at some point, as I'm already on the tightest hooks (when I can find them during back contortions, haha). Also, the 'peephole' in the front seems to be really straining, and as this is just lace fabric sewn together I wonder how well it will hold up.

All in all a pretty bralette and I'm quite impressed by Tutti Rouge's bralette construction, size range and designs.
Hoping they'll expand to G+ in the future!
