This bra is way to small for me in the cups. I got it in the process of finding my size. The colour is nice and practical (i.e. completely invisible undes almost sheer white summer dresses), the finish is smooth. Gives great cleavage (in too small size). Stays put and the wide band doesn't dig or create bulges.
In my neverending quest for a strapless bra, I've been dabbling with various sizes in this model.
The 32G cup has enough depth for me that it is not being pushed out by my boobs creating a gap between the bra and my chest wall. The band, however, is too big, so the gap still appears https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I actually prefer the shape of this bra for my boobs over the Deco strapless because the latter makes my boobs point a bit east-west as if they hate each other. I will get the band taken in professionally and hopefully this bra will work under strapless dresses. If it doesn't work out, I guess I'm going commando under my BM dress next month. Either that or tape. Ouch.
I've tried this bra in 30G and found it to be too small in the cup. Since this bra only goes up to a G cup, I sized up to a 32G. The band is now way too big (27 unstretched, which is bigger than my underbust measurement).
Due to the construction of the bra, I imagine it would work well if it was tight enough. The front of the bra is supported by a stiff piece that contours around where your IFM would be and upwards towards the apex of the cup. I'm assuming this is what makes the bra so stable. I will need to take it in a few inches and hopefully I will get more support from this bra. As it is now, when I am exhaled, the bra slips down to my natural waist and sits there doing absolutely nothing for my boobs. I've had to fully inhale in some pics to get it to stay up.
I really love this strapless bra. It fits me great. It stays put. The wires cant be felt. It's constructed very well. I like the cleavage it gives me. The only problem I have is that the side of the cup can be seen under my wedding gown. This bra is a keeper, just not for my wedding.
The shape, as most of the strapless is not working on me. It feels quite bulky when wearing, and don't feel supported. The underwires are at an odd place, might have to try a size down to see if it makes any difference, but as for the Freya strapless (which I tried in 30G, 28G, and 30FF) I think it is just not for my shape.
The bra is constructed very solidly, it feels very secure. Band is nice and firm. It's beautiful with the black lace over the tan back fabric and the velvet trim is something very unique and luxurious. Very nice cleavage. The only problem I had with it was the cup running a wee bit too small, probably closer to a 30FF than a 30G.
I have a little quad boob going on, but I think going up a cup size would be too much. The bra is quite comfortable and I feel well supported in it. It doesn't poke me. The band is a little tight on the middle setting, leaving slight red marks, but it doesn't feel uncomfortable. I haven't had it long enough to know how it's going to handle the long haul... I bought it on sale for 40% off, so I can't complain about the price ($21.49) https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
The band fits very snug, more like a 28. The plunge cut gives great cleavage. Not the most comfortable bra for everyday wear, but perfect for low cut tops.

The band is very stretchy, making it too large, but of all my bras this one feels the most comfortable/ seems like it fits. So the cups are too small and the band too big, when I bend over the wires poke into my ribs, but it is the best of a long list of bad bras
I purchased this bra in the black lace colourway brand new from a seller on eBay. The band is a decent fit and overall the bra is not particularly uncomfortable but I otherwise encountered a number of problems with this bra. The cups are too wide, too tall, too separate and too shallow. These are all problems I commonly experience with bra fitting but I found them to be a bit worse in this bra than in other bras. The cups seem particularly tall under the arms which causes the bra to be pushed downwards by my arms. The plastic boning (which is present in place of wires ...in this bra) is too tall under my arms and so it pokes me. The moulding of the cups is very stiff and takes a form which is not compatible with my breasts. In conjunction with the cups being too separate, this creates an "east-west" appearance. The cups curve inwards at the top edge which causes a great deal of cutting in. This issue is probably made worse by the cups being too shallow for me. I would not recommend this bra for people with high-set breasts, projected breasts, or soft breast tissue. It also may not work for those with close set breasts. Read more 101 more words
Just too small in the cups for me, but overall I have nothing bad to say about it. If I had bought it in the right size I'd probably love it. It's not a pretty bra by any means, but very utilitarian.
- cups are too narrow for my shallow wide breasts - too pointy cups for my liking - band isn't as tight as I hoped for (definitely not "tight 28" as stated somewhere)
+ straps are nice and satiny, them being wide doesn't bother + soft and lightweight
Quality construction (cool use of a gel-like substance to keep the band in place), but I'm sized out of their range. If the center gore laid flat against your sternum, you wouldn't have cleavage--not a bad shape, per se, but just not the boost you'd get in a Cleo balconette or Masquerade Rhea (duh, it's a strapless and it's not a half cup).
Comfortable fabric, strong band, options for strap placement--if you're in the size range, it's worth a go.
