This bra is a tricky one to get right with sizing. The band is very thin, so feels like it's riding up, but is still level with the front of the bra.
The underwires are narrower than I like, so I do have to adjust the bra occasionally as my breast tissue settles outside the cup.
The shape is great, rounded, uplifted and the cleavage is fantastic!
The lace does show through clothing, so this isn't a t-shirt bra. However, it is very resilient lace. I do sometimes wash my bras in the machine, when pushed for time, and the lace hasn't come undone anywhere!
Love this bra, highly recommend, but be prepared to try a few sizes before getting the right fit. I got a cup size smaller, which works for my bottom heavy shape, but other reviews say that top heavy may need to size up in the cups.

I actually like the color of this bra. This bra will or will not work for someone, depending on the shape. This did not probably work for my shape, or perhaps, the cups are just too big. I experienced gaping at the top of the cups. This actually gives a rounded shape and has a minimizing effect.

I've wanted this bra for so long and it's really beautiful. The band is tight, but I'm in between sizes so that works well for me. The bottom of the cup is pretty shallow and I'm not sure if that's going to be a problem or not. The gore also doesn't quite touch my sternum, but ever so slightly lifted. The straps are skinny, which is nice but they are pretty far apart. It does not seem to be an issue for me though. I love how this bra works and will probably keep it even though it's not perfect because it's close enough and gorgeous!

What an absolutely beautifully constructed bra. I got this realizing it would be too small but I had to have it and try it out. It is worth every penny of regular retail price that Masquerade charges. It has hte prettiest eyelet type lace on the top of the cups and below them. It also has a bow at the gore with a cute heart rhinestone. It gives great cakes on a a plate cleavage, really round and uplifted. Too bad for me it's 1-2 cup sizes too small. I would love to trade for a 32H.

I saw reviews that this ran small so I ordered a cup size up. The cups don't quadboob but they push away the center gore, which is good in a way because if my breasts didn't push away the gore it would hurt because it's too high. As it is, the gore rests on close-set breast tissue. This bra only lasts half a day - but OMG the silhouette it creates! It's a very pretty bra, it's lined.. I wouldn't say "padded" - maybe very lightly, but it makes my boobies ginormous. Which in certain outfits might be a good thing https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> but not for everyday wear.

And now it's gone, I've swapped it. Hopefully it will work better for someone else https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I love the Rhea - so many things about it work well for me even where I have issues in other bras. The wires are the right width and height, the straps aren't too far apart, it's comfortable, nothing pokes, and it gives great lift.

Too bad I bought it before I was educated about my proper size and fit... it's too small in the cup and a little big in the band, so I get quadboob and it rides up a bit in the back. I would probably need a 30HH in this bra, which happens to be my current size. I think it runs pretty true to size.

Such a pretty bra! This is my 2nd attempt to see if I could find a size to fit me. 32H way to big at the top of the cup. 32GG (this one) still a tiny bit to big only at the very top of the cup, not a great enough fit to keep. I do think that the 32G would be too small. Also, very wide straps not sure how comfy it would be after a long day. Just thinking this one is not a good shape for me! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
