Lovely, but too tight!

This is a great bra. I'd wear it again and based on the appearance, I'd definitely wear it out. The problem is the snug fit. Because it's so tight, I don't know that I'd wear it out. Wearing it underneath something else to surprise my husband might also be an issue (unless I'll only be wearing it for a short period of time).

extremely useful review
When I first saw this bra and panty on Eden, I fell in love. It's such a cute set, and can be worn for any occassion. It looked like it was a quality set of pieces with nice accents that indicated a nice design and (hopefully) and nice piece to wear.

Right out of the package, I noticed that the quality appears to match the photos and description that Oh La La Cheri gives on the product page.

The lace is not too cheap, the colors match the stock photos, and the seams/finish of the bra are well done. All in all, it doesn't appear cheaply made and actually has a quality look and feel to it. The accent bow on the front lies fairly flat so unlike some bras I've purcahsed, wearing this under another garment doesn't create a bulge or pattern of the accent pieces. The lace also sits flat against your skin, so while it's definitely not a T-Shirt bra, it will do just fine underneath a lot of clothing.

The lining of the bra is very simple. There isn't any real padding, but it's lined so that it really is comfortable against your skin. Both the cups and the band are comfortable. The underwire is well padded so, barring many trips through the wash, I think it will hold up well.

Putting on the bra, the first thing I noticed is the snugness against my chest, in every aspect. The size I ordered was a 34D, which is normally a very good fit. What I found in the case of the Oh La La Cheri Ashley, is that the sizing runs very tight. In fact, I would easily say that it's a full size too small. (Oddly, I found the same thing to be pretty close with the panty as well. You can read that review on its product page). Another reviewer found that their sizing (38C) was perfect, but I know I'm not alone in those who found the sizing to be a bit on the small side.

Follow-up commentary
Not much to add about this bra. I still love the look. It's not quite European quality, but it's very cute and very comfortable. Overall, it's definitely a keeper, and I have little doubt I'll wear it out from time to time (as well as in, for fun).
