Velvet Padded Multiway Balcony Bra A-E

As expected it's a Rosie so is excellent value for the quality and comfort. It's very flattering. Did come up slightly smaller across the back than usual Rosie bras I went up a size for perfect fit .

This looks and feels as sumptuous as it appears on website. Fit is perfect and not cut too high under arms. Snug without straps and feels supportive although I am only 34B. The velvet is good enough to be seen so whether under a sheer or lace top or under an evening jacket etc it will hold its own looks wise. Love this item and agree with others. More colours. A rich ruby/ wine red or emerald/ bottle green and even a rich blue or peach/ cream would all look good. Well done M&S

I absolutely love this bra. It is luxurious and feels wonderful on. It provides excellent support and a great shape. I have a large bust and often find that high sides dig in but there is no such problem with this, really comfortable to wear and looks absolutely fabulous on, even on my larger frame! I wouldn't normally pay this much for a bra but I bought myself the set as a treat and I am so glad I did. Because it is velvet it wouldn't work under anything tight fitting, such as a T shirt, the pile of the velvet would be seen, but don't let that put you off. I will say that it is quite snug on which is often the case with strapless bras and, as I will probably never wear it strapless, I did up size for a little more comfort. I did have a problem with the first one I ordered which had a broken strap loop but I returned with M & S's usual excellent customer service.

Its nice to find a strapless bra which is classy to go under formal evening wear or for partywear. Very good support too. My only criticism was that it wasn't so easy to fasten at the back on my own.

Bought this is a 36B which I am normally. Beautifully finished, very soft padded cups, which really give one an uplift! Love the deep sides( as now I’ve got older I get the dreaded overhang!) makes the bra feel much sturdier on, but not stiff and doesn’t cut in. Really lovely shape to the cups and being in velvet, super under a sheer black shirt or lace top! This one is worth showing off! Removable straps make for a versatile garment for eveningwear with cocktail dresses also. Really well made and designed and worth the extra money. Makes a change to see velvet in the range for winter,too, lovely idea and I think a deep red would be lovely too. Only gripe? Described as velvet and French designed lace, but couldn’t see any lace on the bra at all! Otherwise perfect.
