This is a difficult bra for me size-wise. I find the band comes up small and has little stretch, which is good for me as I really need a 26, although the lack of stretch means it gets a bit uncomfortable by the end of the day. Hopefully this will make it less likely to stretch out quickly.

The cups are slightly too small in a 28F, but slightly too large in a 28FF. I went for the smaller size because I prefer to have a little cleavage rather than gaping when I lean over. The shape is slightly pointy due to stiff seams, but the bra is softening ... up as I wash it. It still won't be good for tight tops as the lace is quite thick and show through thin fabrics.

The straps are only partly adjustable and I wish this wasn't the case as I'm wearing them as short as they go and really need them to be a bit shorter. They are made of a lovely satin fabric, but this contributes to them sliding off my shoulders!

The comfort and looks of this bra make up for the fit issues. Apart from the band stiffness at the end of a long day, it's extremely comfortable. The wires don't poke anywhere and it didn't require any breaking in. The lace detail and pretty charm in the centre make the bra look really expensive and beautiful. I have the Antique version which was exclusive to Bravissimo and it can be easily matched with a pair of nude knickers.

I knew before the braswap that this bra would not be a perfect fit, but wanted to try it out anyway. Still fits much better than the bra I exchanged. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The too wide cups I feared most, and the wires are about one finger width behind my IMF, but this doesn't actually cause any discomfort. This bra is very firm in every sense. I was expecting something similar to the Amira I used to own, which was soft with a stretchy band. Well, nope, this one is like a bulletproof vest. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> When I put it on it gave me butt crack cleavage. It looked like I would be soon falling out in the centre, but that hasn't happened even after a few hours of wear. The cups come up pretty high, but not causing any trouble for me. All in all the fit is better than expected.

Order down a cup size or two. The band is a little stiff, but this has so much material that it's either meant for a 28H or it's supposed to be practically a shirt.

This is a very gorgeous bra and that´s why I bought it (used, from another bratabase member).

However, it doesn´t fit. The band is okay and snug enough, I wear it in the middle hooks. The band really doesn´t stretch much at all, as others have said. The straps adjust short enough for me but there are other issues. They are likely to fall off any time, they are very far apart.

It is the cups that are the real problem in this bra. The shape is not at all suitable for me. They give a really pointy shape and look like they don´t lift or support my breasts. ... They cut in at the top but I think if I went up a cup size, then the cups would be too big in the center seam area. The cups come really high at the sides which is not really a problem for me. The wires are very wide, not an issue for me either.

I think I will keep this bra because a) it is SOOOO pretty!! and b) it is one of those few bras at the time being, that has about big enough cups for me. I have many non-fitting bras in my closet... https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Lacier than I prefer, but the aqua color is really pretty. I wanted to like this bra, but it's way too big in the cups. Surprising since I have a Masquerade basque in 28F that fits well. I must be a 28E in regular Masquerade bras. The band was nice and snug, which I liked. I intend to try more of these at some point.

Not rated well because it does not fit. If I had this one in the correct size, it would be excellent across the board.
