Fauve Pearl Underwire Plunge Balcony Bra fv0222 Reviews

This is my first full day of wearing this bra and I'm very impressed with it. The fabric is soft, including the lining behind the embroidered "pearls." I wish the straps were the same style used on some other Fauve/Freya/Fantasie bras (like one of my new favorites, Freya's Gem bra): wider, with very soft linings. But the straps are my only complaint about this bra. Everything else is great: the band is quite supportive and seems true to size; the tops of the cups don't flatten or constrict me; the shape I get is neither cone/bullet bra nor super round; and while this bra doesn't lift my chest to the sky, it does lift me up and out and didn't let me sag today. If you're self conscious about show-through under clothes: the horizontal seams are noticeable but not the pink dots (unless you wear a white or tight shirt) -- and because the bra fits me so well, the cup tops don't dig into me or cause any bulging/indents. I've learned that while most Freya bras fit me best as an FF, I need a G in Fauve bras. If you have sensitive skin: the pink dots on the scalloped bottom edge of the band are all embroidered, and there's no lining behind them. They don't scratch or bother me, but I thought I should point it out. I've been pretty comfy in this bra all day. I'd buy a second one in a different color. Robin from Chicago IL, USA
