Good things:
- reasonably comfortable, and pretty.
- The lace is soft.
Not great:
- Lace scallops: I'm squishy around the midsection these days, and will note that the lace scallops around the band tend to roll up - not my fave feature.
- Stretches: I've had the bra for over a year, and it has stretched out noticeably. (I only hand-wash fwiw).
Also consider:
- Not smooth under thin fabrics
- Not going to hide your nipples, if you're concerned about "high beams," this is an issue

This bra is really beatiful and supportive. However, neither it is my size nor does the shape work for my breasts. I get a pointy shape that doesn't have much lift... Which is a shame as it is so pretty...

UK 36D

Bratabase will mark this as not fitting, but I would say that it does fit. The one issue that's causing the "did not fit" designation is that the very tiippy-top of the gore floats a tiny bit. I don't consider this a fit problem, because I'm really happy to finally have a gore that won't dig in, and it doesn't seem to be negatively affecting the fit of the cups or band.

Material: Lace. Not particularly itchy for lace, but...it feels like lace. I really like the color contrast.

Band: Might be on the firmer side of average. Comfortably snug on me. 3/4 inch spacing between ... hooks (if you're considering using an extender).

Wires: Somewhat flexible. Lots of space to move them in the wire channel.

Gore: Middle height. Doesn't poke in at my sternum.

Cups: Two- part construction with diagonal seam, unlined, side sling. Mesh under lace for the bottom of the cup; stretch lace only for the top.

Straps: A little wider-set than I'd like, but not unreasonably so. There is a tiny bit of edging that doesn't bother me but may bother those with sensitive skin. Fully adjustable.

I was really anxious to put this bra on, sadly it didn't went well, the shape is kind of pointy, the lace shows a lot, I am only going to be able to wear it with chunky sweaters, and the whole bra is very stretchy, from the straps to the band to the cups, all of it is stretchy, is a shame since the bra is absolutely beautiful, it didn't work for me, but I hope that maybe for someone else it does.

Great fit when I was a 36 DDD, it's comfortable and the fabric feels great.

It is comfortable and feels great on, the only reason I never wore it is because I personally like a little more padding. The pattern is beautifuL.

This is a really beautiful bra and very comfortable. It definitely doesn't fit though. I bought this after getting fitted at Nordstrom before I had really figured out my size. The fitter sized me at a 36F (UK). Since this bra only goes up to DDD and the 36 band ran really firm I sister sized to a 38DDD. The gore is no where near tacking which the fitter, though the fitter said it wasn't supposed to (which I seriously doubt). It gives me a somewhat conical shape and is pretty full coverage.

The fit is pretty good. Being an unlined/unpadded cup, I don't love the sillouette. It doesn't poke anywhere and is comfortable for long periods of time. I will probably add inserts to the cup to round out my shape in this bra.

Stretched out quickly, underwire is very round. Lace is stretchy. Fits ok but not great.

I bought this together with the Retro Chic. That one is definitely the winner out of the two--though the band fit nicely on the other one, on this I do wish it was made in a 30. It rides up slightly, not terribly but it's definitely not giving me as much support. I do also wish it had more side coverage and a side support bone like the Retro Chic does. I find it to be even more pointy and the shape of it and the seams show thru clothes even more. The lace is absolutely gorgeous though. But hey wacoal--what's with this light, light latte color being called "naturally nude?" Sounds problematic to me...
