The best fit I've had from one of these yet - could do with a 28 band, but the band isn't as big as others I've tried. Probably fits 30-31" NWT. It seems more supportive and somehow better fitting than the navy/lime green one I tried, not sure exactly what is different though.

The bow is oversized and it's adorable. The cups are tall but fit better than most full coverage bras I've tried. The plunge is low. The mauve is pretty. I think I want to hold out for the colorway I've been lusting after most though - beige with hot pink trim.

This probably isn't the strappy bra to end my strappy bra search, but I'm pretty happy with it. I was actually quite happy wearing it yesterday, but looking at some of the pictures I took in it, there are certainly fit problems. This was mostly with slight gaping in the cups as I moved around, which I can deal with.

Bad:

The gore doesn't tack at the top. I hardly ever have this problem anymore, even in 32D or 32DD bras that aren't quite my ideal size. I wonder if it's partially the fault of the cutout gore? I've never had a bra with a gore like this.

The ... shoulder straps are so long and stretchy, but fully adjustable at least. I adjusted them to almost the shortest length to get a good fit ... but I'm 5'6 so this bra might not work for more petite or high set ladies.

The seam in the middle of the cup gives me a pointy shape and may show under clothes. Not my favorite cup shape.

The cage straps fit me well, unlike in previous bras I've tried, but they rub my armpit fat area in an irritating way when I'm sitting or moving because they're so tall.

I don't fill out the bottoms of the cups and the bra tends to slip down and not sit in my IMF, though I can make it for awhile.

The included bottoms run huge. The size chart pointed me toward a large, but I got a M. The M is a bit big - I could have done with a size S

Good:

It's pretty

And cheap.

Band fits tight/true to size

And now the question remains if I keep it and deal with these things, or move on to the next one.

Tight band!! This cappuccino colorway Embrace Lace barely stretches past 28". It is probably new or nearly new condition. The cups stretch with the band, making them wider than I need. Tried on with an extender. Would be better on someone with a smaller underbust who would stretch it less, or someone who needs wider cups.

This older Cleo model is beautifully detailed with gorgeous stitches on the fabric - but my first impression is that all this beautiful texture would never disappear under a shirt! It's much more textured than any of my other unlined bras. Unfortunately the fit is such a mess that I never got to evaluating how it will look under clothing.

This bra is slightly small for me, combined with a bit of a shape mismatch. Add my soft tissue to that and it turns into a disaster where each diagonal stitch is cutting into my tissue creating tiny bits of in-cup quad all over. The top seam barely cuts in, making the main problem all the tiny stitched details.

I would compare this bra possibly to Cleo Nyla, shape-wise. I think it is made for slightly more even shape and projection than bras like Marcie.

I was pretty discouraged when my Lagoon color Deco ended up showing through my shirts, but here I am again with another Deco. This one doesn't have the thick cup seam at the top! Despite what others said, it fits about the same as the Lagoon - not significantly taller. The cups are a bit less deep but that's the only measurement that is different really. For whatever reason the gore seems to sit on my tissue a bit more though, but otherwise I'm happy with the fit. The wires are perfect for me! Any narrower and they would be on my tissue. I've never had a bra ... with wires so close to perfection.

After a failure with a 30E with a giant band and tall, deep cups I decided to size down to 28E for shorter cups and a smaller band and I believe it is the best size with me in Decos. I wear this with an extender currently.

The color on this one isn't as fun as Lagoon, but I appreciate the gray. I wish it was a bit lighter gray - it feels like faded black kind of.

Is this bra 80F EU or 80F France? I was led to believe it was 80F FR size when I bought it, but now I am questioning that due to the band measurements.

I entered it as 80F FR so that is what Bratabase is showing now - but it may be a mistake.

This size is a bit too big for me, and unfortunately the cups seem to get taller as I size up.

I can't wait to try this out as a strapless bra! (I'll update then) The band is so tight. I've never had a strapless bra that fit before. However I think I will still wear it daily with straps. The straps that it came with almost don't adjust tight enough, so that might be a problem for some people.. The cups are wonderfully thin but still moulded. That's what I love about SP. My nipples poke through the tiniest bit, which I don't mind. It feels so natural. Compared to my other bras, I feel like this one gives me a noticeably bigger and more rounded shape! Not a huge fan of the 'Blush' color. It appeared darker on Ebay, but once I received it I almost thought it was a dingy used white bra.

This one runs big in my opinion. Wacoal sizing is all over the place in my experience. I have a few in 32D, and sometimes 30DDD or 32DD or 32DDD work too. Other times they don't fit at all.

The cups on this one are pretty deep at the top and center. For me this meant lots of empty space at the top of the cup.

I gave up on the Fortnight Luna bra after many failed trials - the cups cut in, sizing up just made them wider and taller, I even tried a few different colors.

I wasn't sure I would have any luck with Mira since many reviews say they're similar, but I like this one! It's stretchy cup fabric seems to suit my shape better than the mesh on the Luna. Perhaps it has a tad more give. The cutting in on top is reduced for me as well. It's a bit wide on me, but overall I love it!
