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.)

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!

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.

I absolutely love this bra. Makes me feel sexy, really good fit and pushes my boobs together so they are perfect for dresses. Bought in black and burgundy. LOVE.

So pretty and fits great

Gorgeous fitting bra, even if it is a bit complicated to get the top bit done up!

I'm very pleased with this bra - it gives a great, upfront and rounded shape, and is very comfortable! Definitely provides the plunge, so good for just about all necklines, and the fabric at the front, while not being very exciting, is just perfect for modesty. Thus, it gets worn often for work with opaque but thinner tops! I should note, I was sized for this bra at the NYC store and, while I wear a 30E UK in about everything else, it was recommended that I purchase this one band size up in 32E. This allows for greater adjustable straps, which I loosened further after the first wash (even with cold water/air drying...though the fit otherwise was unaffected). The band is not loose at 32 for me and I would recommend doing the same. As far as look with tops - the lines on this are vertical as opposed to cutting across the breast, so they are much less visible than some 3-panel bras, but there is (depending on the tightness of your shirt, of course) potential for some visibility. However, it is great to have the benefit of molded bras (modesty) without the stiff mold! Also, the top clasp is fiddly, no doubt. However, I never undo it; I put it over my head, fit myself in, and do up the back, so I would say it is a non-issue. I just wish I knew about the dusty pink while they still had it in my size!

The fit of this bra is fantastic. My boobs actually look smaller! It brings them in and up giving a great shape. And the straps cannot fall off your shoulders, which is a huge problem for me. Unfortunately, the clasp on the back of the neck has been designed by aliens and is impossible to do up whilst wearing the bra. The only way I could fasten this was to do it up first then putting the bra on over my head. I only wore the bra for an hour but had red shoulders and neck from the straps and metal bits digging in. Such a shame that this great fit has just one problem too many for me to keep it - will be returning in the post on Monday.
