While this bra fits pretty well, it's really more about how stinking cute it is! It does work for a lot of breast types but if you're more shallow or empty on top or just have very soft tissue, the cups will probably wrinkle a little or you’ll squeeze some out of the top. If your breasts or more full and round, the fit will probably be better. The center wire is lower, like a plunge, and the cups are a modified balconette style, so the Belle cup shape is a mixture of a plunge bra and a balconette. As a result, the cups are more shallow than a standard balconette style so you might want to size up in the cup. The super cute pink and red heart embroidery that's speckled against the really sheer neutral-pale cups is excellent to dress up for Valentine's Day, or any day, especially with the pink underwire and straps giving it a sexier look.

The bra is very cute, and as much as I like it, there are a couple of issues imo.
The cups run a bit small. Especially if you have softer breast tissue, you might even consider going up a size.
The straps are a bit stiff. But considering that this is not an everyday bra, that’s not a big deal.
Biggest issue: The fabric is a bit rough. I was expecting the material to be a bit silky, but it is definitely not. But, as with the straps, this is forgivable considering that this bra is intended to be more decorative than functional.
I love this bra, I love the design, it fits me well despite being a balconette. I listened to the advice on sizing up and it was a perfect fit. The only downside is that the seams are itchy, but I'm remedying that myself with some satin ribbon, just bare this in mind if you have more sensitive skin
