This is way too small. Looking at the measurements and fit details it seems like it shouldn't be THAT small, but it is. The band if I isolate it from the cups actually does feel okay, although it's way smaller than a 30 band usually is (could only stretch to 28", I'm surprised it feels OK on.)

The straps feel a little used i.e. digging in at the shoulders. I suspect that's from the woefully inadequate cup size.

The band is a fuzzy almost terrycloth and very soft and comfortable. The lace pattern is lovely. I'm not sure if the soft cups are defined enough to give actual separation ... between larger boobs. (As an alternate example I wear old Fantasie Belle bras with the wires removed and the center gore basically tacks, despite being stretched out and cups 1-2 sizes bigger than I usually wear now. I think this is because the wire channels are a stiffer fabric than the rest of the bra. On this one, it's just a seam.)

The fabric in general seems a little thin. I'd be worried about an earring accidentally puncturing it and causing damage.

Overall I'm disappointed but they do make this up to a J cup so I might try again in another size if my foray into Molke is a total fail (really trying to get some non-underwired bras into my rotation!)

This bra is an engineering marvel. If you had told my 15-year-old self that I would one day own a strapless bra and actually WEAR IT, successfully, with strapless tops, I would have laughed in your face. And yet! Freya went ahead and proved me wrong. While I could stand to have a band size smaller in this (there are only two rows of hooks) I have worn it out, strapless, into the real world on multiple occasions so far with my shoulders happily bare without any nip-slips or belt bras or anything. I've adjusted it about as often as I adjust my normal bras. The cup does ... turn up a bit on the bottom - I can't quite fill it out down there, but quad boob is not a concern with the high center gore and equally high, stiff cups. The longline is beautiful and elegant. The removable straps that come with the bra are eh - once I took them off to experiment with the strapless I haven't felt the need to put them back on. The shape is not as high and perky as I'm used to now (especially since I started wearing Comexim) but it's an acceptable trade-off IMO. Overall very pleased!

This bra is great! The 30GG fit me as well, but I sized up to prevent quadboob while in motion since my boobs are so soft. This is a gorgeous but simple comfortable bra, works well as a t-shirt bra or under more formal things. Plus, Bravissimo keeps putting out the same bra in different colors and styles, so if it works for you, you're in good hands!

I adore this bra; however, the fit is a challenge. It fit well enough in the store for me to fall in love with it and buy it (expensively, I might add). The fabric is luxurious and satiny and this one one of the first bras I bought which was NOT poking into my armpit. However due to the shape/firmness of my boobs I quadboob in this bra when I move around. However I have found that I can take a small bit of double-sided tape and use that to more permanently "tuck" my boobs into the cups for day wear, which works more than well enough for me to enjoy wearing this bra.

I was very surprised when I liked this bra when I tried it on, even more surprised when I bought it, and then surprised AGAIN with how much I still loved it when I got it home.
The cups are molded and stiff. Center gore isn't high (shape of the underwires is more like a plunge bra than a half cup) but there's NO spillage of my boobs into the center when I'm jogging or climbing stairs or anything. I am a HUGE fan of the combination of support and shape that this bra brings.
The straps can also be lengthened and then snapped together to form a racerback, which has already been very handy under sleeveless summer tops. I can show off my back muscles without showing off my bra straps.
I have the Caucasian nude color - I wish there were more color options! If anybody reads this and has any suggestions for what bras might be similar, please let me know.

I wanted to love this bra - but it just does not work for me. The left and right cups seem drastically different sizes - the right (my smaller boob) encloses everything well and gives an OK retro/round shape. The left cuts in to a good quarter of my breast tissue along the cup line, then juts out empty at the center seam, and isn't *quite* filled at the wire. However when I swoop and scoop and tuck and don't move, I get photoshopped cleavage!! (Where you can see the undercurve of the breast before the center gore.) So, that's nice. I do love the colors and the fabric pattern. The band is very stretchy, feels like there's a bit too much pressure on my shoulders, and I don't love that it only has two hooks.

I SO wanted to love this bra - and I do - but you can see from the photo that it absolutely doesn't fit! The cups are padded, so the quadboob is even worse than it could be. It recalls Victoria's Secret in an OK way, i.e. fabulous padded push-up. The color was also perfect on me (my Zyla romantic shade if anybody knows what that means...)

I'm a 30GG or thereabouts these days, so I think a 30F or so would find this bra lovely.

I think I've had this bra for 3 or 4 years... I've never worn it. It didn't fit me 3+ years ago - band and cup size too small. Now, it basically fits, but now I've got higher standards for my bras and won't wear it anyway.

I LOVE the embroidery detailing - super cute teal/lilac flower pattern.

The straps dig into the side of the top of my arms (just above the front of the cup), the underwires are way too wide (not in a way that is actually uncomfortable, but just in a way that I notice now that I've worn bras that have narrower underwires) and, under a shirt, the shirt fabric weighs ever so little on the top of my boobs and this poor little bra is like, "nope!" and droops everything. Reverse elf shoe. Then I'm like, nope! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

If I had tried this on in a shop, I probably wouldn't have bought it - the shape is somewhat "elf-shoe" and I've got the typical problem of a bit of gaping on my R boob (smaller). But, it was cheap on zulily and as the other bras I tried totally didn't work, I was so pleased that this fit I stuck it in my closet. I do really like the pattern - tiny white & green flowers - and it's comfortable. The turned-up shape is less noticeable once under a shirt.

This is the second time I've tried on this bra and... it basically fits! The very top of the cup (where it angles to meet the strap) is vacant, but I'm quite FOB, so I'm okay with that. The shape is good under a t-shirt and doesn't have any visible bra gaping. Where the straps head down under my arms is a little scratchy. I'll be monitoring that as I wear this around. The band is slightly more snug than on the 70K Ingrid I ordered with this, leading me to believe that if I pick up a 65K in that pattern (or maybe even others) I will have found my Comexim slipper.

The lace overlay is also a bit scratchy. But I won't notice that when I have a shirt on.
