This is a great bra but I spend so long trying to do if up I often give up and get so frustrated with it I have to go out with it undone and then ask friends to do it up when I’m out. If you live on you’re own forget it you need to be a contortionist to do it up.

I was looking for a bra that wouldn't slip off my shoulders all the time, I was nearly put off by the reviews saying how you could fall out when bending, glad I didn't. The fit is fine (went up a cup size). It doesn't slip at all in what is an active job, very soft comfortable material. The catch is awkward but I was used to that from Glamorise bras which have the same type. Very pleased.

Absolutely love the design of this bra - the popular lace back that has previously been exclusively for smaller-boobed women. I originally bought in a 34J in the black and absolutely loved in, but found my left (bigger) boob to fall out a little too regularly. I thought by going up a back-size, I'd get a little more room in the cup, which was true. It then lacked some of the support, however. I really wish this was available in larger cup sizes - a 34JJ would have been perfect, and the even-larger boobed of us deserve this kind of style! I'd say the cup does run a bit small, but the padded style doesn't allow for the stretching for larger boob like lace does. Lastly, the fabric is absolutely to die for, never had a softer bra

I love the fact that this bra takes some of the strain away from the shoulder straps. The central band is really supportive and comfortable, and I love the deep-fitting. Under loose tops my boobs do gravitate towards the centre, rather than staying behind the cups - but I have a tight-fitting maxi dress (well, tight across the chest), and I love how this peeps out on the back when I wear them together. I have just ordered some in a similar style, as I like it so much - beautiful fabrics - soft, but supportive. Thank you!

Extremely uncomfortable after a few hours plus the way the cups are situated, the underwire is so wide for the small band size that the cup wrapped all the way back almost behind my armpit. My breasts are very much situated on the front of my chest, so all this did was serve to pucker and fold the cup on the sides and create less space in the front to hold and contain everything. It's a beautiful bra with really soft fabric for the cups and beautiful lace on the back, but between the underwires being so ridiculously wide and the straps being very elastic, there was no secure support and the back clasp did most of the work of holding everything up and dug into my neck really badly after a while. I imagine this bra being great for smaller cup sizes or for women who are a little wider in the rib cage. But unfortunately this bra was kind of a disaster for me and I sent it back to be exchanged for a different bra.

This was the first bra I ever purchased from Bravissimo and it is great! I love how soft the cups are, it's a nice change to have a padded cup that isn't so firm. When I bought this I was a 28FF but the 30F still fit me fine (I'm probably more of a 30FF now and the bra still fits due to the stretchy back band and high rise cups!) When I bought this originally it was definitely a little big, because I find the back slightly stretchier than other 30 bands, the cups gaped at the top because the back wasn't tight enough. However, when I purchased in a 28FF later the fit was perfect! The clasp at the back is definitely tricky, but I personally don't mind pulling it on like a t-shirt! I love the lace as it looks nice under sheer tops or with a low cut back!

I got this bra with the old points scheme as I fell in love with it when I tried it on. It was beautiful. I loved the detailing at the back. However, this bra was definitely invented to be sexy on a special occasion and to look good on the floor. I have worn this several times for full days and after a couple of hours the lacy top part really digs into me leaving dents after I have taken it off. I don’t know if this was because I got the lady to fit it too tightly on me but I haven’t given up on this bra! I will still continue with it. I also had to go up a cup size with this one as the fitting is similar to the Niya. I haven’t had any problems with boobs popping out like other reviewers have mentioned.

This is the prettiest bra I've ever owned. It's really unique and sexy. However, it's not an everyday bra, and there are a few drawbacks 1) The fastener is very fiddly, and I've also had to resort to leaving the top part permanently fastened and wearing it like a t-shirt. 2) If I bend over or have to run to catch a bus, for example, my boobs meet in the middle and spill out. 3) Upright it's fine, but if I lie down the wires dig into my rib cage, making it quite uncomfortable. I also used to feel a big pressure behind my neck at first, but loosened the straps and it's now okay. I would actually buy this gorgeous bra again - perhaps in a different colour, for a change - but knowing its limitations. It's great for going out in a nice dress (it's quite low at the front, so doesn't show in some cleavages like my other bras would), but I wouldn't wear it for work, for example, because I move around a lot and it would require a lot of re-jiggling throughout the day. (I can't really comment on whether it's true to size, because I've had it for a while now and can't remember if the size I got was my usual size at the time, or whether the lady who fitted me in store recommended a size up or down sort of thing. My size has fluctuated over time due to weight loss.)
