Just received my Alana bra today and it’s lovely, the gold on it is really pretty and makes the bra lovely. Fits perfectly and gives great support!

I have been wearing Alana bras for years in a variety of colours. They are usually great. However, on this occasion I am not happy. I bought the nude coloured bra some time ago but kept it for a special occasion. I have just spent one of the most uncomfortable days of my life. The lower band on both sides at the back of the bra has not been fully encased in the binding. The mesh fabric Is sticking out and has curled. This ridge has been digging in to my back all day. I couldn’t believe how sharp it was when I eventually got the bra off and checked to see what was causing the discomfort. I have had the bra too long to return it and can only hope it will soften with washing.

Absolutely love this bra, size, fit, comfort it’s all fab

The Alana bra is a fantastic bra, I've been buying it for over 7 years and it has seen me through 2 pregnancies and babies. It's comfortable and makes gives boobs a natural look. But why, oh why, won't you make it into a 28F anymore? I've tried other bras but nothing compares!

Bought this as one of three nude bras to choose one, and ending up keeping this as as well as the Darcy. Darcy is a bit softer, more comfortable and gives better shape, but this one is also really nice and think it will soften in the wash. Went up a back size and down a cup, following other reviews and I find this size in Bravissimo's own bras is a really good fit for me. Couldn't get a Darcy in plain white so purchased this one in white too. Don't wear white very often but it's always nice to have a crisp white one.

Having read the reviews I went up a size from my normal 34G to 34GG and the bra fits like a glove. The gold bra straps are fun and festive and the little gold touches on the bra and briefs are so pretty. A+ from me!

I have bought this bra from the first time it came out years ago, the fit was always great. I have to say the one I have just received is on the smaller side from the others I have, not sure why this is, the back should be a 32 but it is smaller in the back than my other 32 Alana bras!

I usually waffle between a 32E and a 32F (for the larger side), but the initial 32F I ordered was actually too small. Returned it and sized up to a 32FF which was much better... so I would absolutely SIZE UP IN THE CUP as the description suggests. With the proper size, the cups give a nicely rounded shape under shirts, although (as with all cut and sewn bras) the seams are prominent. The top edge of the cups isn't forgiving, and can cut into your tissue if you have high "roots" (and, I would imagine, full-on-top breasts too). It hugs my larger side pretty well, but it "bubbles" or "puffs" away from my chest on top, as that side is more of a slope shape. It's a little embarrassing as a reminder that my boobs are really uneven, but the overall support wins. Plus the lilac/lemon colorway is GORGEOUS, spring-y, and feminine: everything I love in a bra! Those stiff cups are for a limited range of shapes, though, so I would keep that in mind while ordering. Again, SIZE UP IN THE CUP!!!!
