Super beautiful lace!!! I love this color so much, so sad the balconette style was a bit too wide and shallow and open for me. Boux Avenue is an *expletive* to return to (even if their description was wrong, you have to pay to return. What?!), so I've hung onto it, hopeful I could maybe alter it, but no, it's just time to allow someone else to try the bra without the hassle of trying to figure out the sizes and shapes from just the model photos that are HEAVILY edited! :P
It's very open on top, so you need a lot of upper fullness or super tall breasts to fill the top. Lower cup is average between shallow and deep. Wires wide in comparison to center cup depth. Band is firm, stretching to only 29 inches which seems tight for a 30. I hope someone else can take this beauty home and be happy with it. ^_^
This colorway is no longer available! The style retails for $38 new! My price definitely beats that!! :)

Owner's review

As usual, super pretty fabric, but not perfect fit. Straps too wide, cup edge wants to curl back and stick out making the cups too open (what is with their manufacturing process?! It seems like they stretch the upper edge while sewing the lace to the foam!!), wires too wide, bottom edge of cup a bit too shallow... BUT I WANT IT TO WORK!!! SO PRETTY!!! And SO expensive to return!! ($65 to return in original packaging?! Waaaaht?!) I noticed something very strange, and it's quite apparent in the pictures... the right cup upper edge is even MORE stretched open than the left. So annoying to deal with. ... Again, inner cup fabric is itchy, but exterior fabrics are beautiful. My phone cannot capture the beauty.
Could potentially fix by moving straps in. Seems the too-wide straps of the balconettes contribute partially to the cup gapping on top, but they are very clearly stretched out probably while sewing.
In summary, to fit into Boux Avenue's regular bras, you need to have very shallow, slightly wide, and tall/FOT breasts. I am very FOT and have quite tall roots, but this STILL is too open. What???
