despite that this is from my 36C days, i still LOVE this bra. However, this is from when the Fabulous line first came out, and it has since been entirely re worked, including making the band out of that awful super stretchy material used in the Very Sexy line that i HATE. UGH.

Appearance: The pictures lie about the color, its a very true red rose lace, deep and lovely, and it comes just slightly over the top edge of the cup. The cup beneath the lace is pink, as is the cup lining. there are small no-show pleats on the inner portion of the cup, which are harder ... to see in the lace models and don't show under shirts. the tons of red rhinestones along the top of the cup though, do. This doesn't lay flat under shirts, but its fine under thicker things and dresses. the band is also covered in the same red floral lace. There is a small row of 3 rhinestones on a metal piece on the band. The straps are a matching dark red and satiny.so in short, this is beautiful!

Fit: Well, this isn't my right size, and its stretched form wearing it, so the fit is obviously completely off. the band is way too large, and when i scoop into the cups i get serious quad boob. But, it has potential in the right size. the cups are at least higher on the sides than most VS bra, and the band is taller around than normal. the straps are comfy and don't slip or sit too far out for me, plus they attach in a slight "ballet back" instead of right to the straight part of the band, and i think that helps them stay put.

The cup has a creme padding, which is very unique, and warms as you wear it. This is supposed to mean that it can "fill in" to the places where you might be lacking, which is actually does. its not dramatic, but you can take the cup in your hand and smooth it towards the side, top, etc and fix minor issues. i liked it because one breast is slightly smaller, so i could fix some of the gaping. this does mean that the bra isn't comfortable for hot temperatures- for some reason i feel sweaty in it during the summer, I'm guessing because you're warming the cream with your body temp and it doesn't wick away.

The band is what i like most here- its stretchy, but thick enough so it doesn't roll at all no matter how tight i pull it. I wish this material was still what they used because i would get this bra in my right size in a heartbeat https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> When i pull it tight enough , i get some awesome natural looking cleavage(and a little side boob, so sue me)! however, scooping definitely means i overspill. i didn't notice it so much when i was first wearing it, but recently i think I've started to get my tissue migration fixed and as a result there's more breast tissue that needs cup space.

i wish this bra was around to still recommend, because i love it. it came in a million different colors, laces, and embellishments, and it gives a great shape. The new ones just don't work for me because of the heinous band, but if you dont mind them you may find success. i'll invest in a rixie clip and keep this one https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
