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.)

love this bra but could do with a more sturdy material to stop the boobs from falling out when you bend over and the metal parts on the straps really dig in leaving really painful red marks. Tried loosening the straps but then you don't get enough support but the back is very pretty

This bra is gorgeous and I really wish it had fit me better than it does. I've tried and tried for months to make it work for me. I find my breasts will easily come out of the cups if I bend down, and often have to readjust the bra on. I also can't wear it for longer than a few hours due to the clip on the back of the neck. As pretty as it is, it does dig in and your shoulders tend to get sore fairly quickly. I'm sure this bra would work for someone with a smaller cup size but for girls with boobs as big as a HH/J/JJ like me I wouldn't recommend this style if you're looking for lots of support. Really pretty and soft design though!

I really really want to like this bra. I bought it in 2 colours because in the store it fit really nicely and I loved the look of the back. However while wearing it for a longer period of time I've realized it has a slight drawback for those of us with a larger bust. That being, the straps. I don't mind the teensy pin clip, but what bothers me is that because of the configuration of the straps, this is basically a halter top bra. All of the strap weight is put on your neck. After a day of wearing it, it can be really heavy and honestly uncomfortable. This is one of the only bras I've had that I come home and I want to take it off. I wish the straps were more like the Cleo Atlanta where the straps distribute the weight onto your shoulders and not your neck. Otherwise I do like the bra, the band is very very comfy and the shape it gives is lovely. But yeah. The straps keep me from loving it.

The Alexa Bra is super comfortable, due to the straps not putting a dent in shoulders like most other bras and it sits slightly lower around a the ribs, which for me is the most uncomfortable part of a bra and why I can’t wait to take other bras off by the afternoon. Went down by one cup size, usually 36G and fits perfectly, with support and uplift. Love the way it looks under strappy camí tops also. Love it.
