The website isn't quite complete yet so I couldn't get professional images.
But trust me when I say - all 3 styles are really quite pretty.
This one is the Floral Embroidered Plunge Bra:
It also comes in a full cup Floral Embroidered Underwire Bra:
I tried on the plunge bra in this style.
Support & Comfort- 2 / 5
Its a little hard to see in the photos, but the straps on the plunge style are two thin black straps on each side. There is only quite a short area to adjust length and I found the straps too tight, even when fully extended. They also cut in a bit given that the straps are no elasticised.

However the bra is not itchy from the embroidery.
Overall Look - 4 / 5
Its a very pretty bra - I especially like the sheer fabric used at the back but wonder if it might stretch quickly with wear?

Wearability - 3/ 5
The detailed embroidery is a bit visible through tops - I'm personally not a fan of lumpy boobs. Also, the straps are not multi-directional.
Next is the Plunge Bra with Lace Trim:
It also comes in a full cup underwire style:
I tried on the plunge bra in this style.
Support & Comfort- 4 /5
This bra was very comfortable - the primary fabric being soft and stretchy.
Overall Look - 3 / 5
Not as pretty as the others but still nice. The back of the bra is a solid fabric which looks more durable than the sheer on the previous style.
Wearability - 4 / 5
I think this style is the most wearable as it is the least detailed - however the lace seam is visible under fitted clothing. Again- shame about the non-multi directional straps
Finally, we have the printed bra which offers shape and support (I'm going off the descriptions on the tags here).
I did not see any alternative styles in this patten.
Support & Comfort- 4 / 5
Pretty comfortable. The straps do not have a huge range to adjust length, but its much better than the first bra. A bit of give in the fabric is good too.

Overall Look - 4 / 5
This bra is very pretty, but when its on, I found that the lace panel was too wide, and looked a bit odd. All of the floral/stripe pattern is sort of hidden on the underneath - which is a shame cause I think that's the nicest bit!
Wearability - 3/ 5
Wearability - 3/ 5
A lot of seams are visible though fitted clothing when wearing this bra - the horizontal lace seam as well as the vertical stripes. A little bit of texture from the lace as well.
Price - $19.86 - same price for both plunge and full cup styles
Size Range -
Plunge:
14-18 C, D, DD, E,
20 C, D, DD
22-24 D, DD
Full Cup:
10-20 C, D, DD
22-24 D, DD
I'm disappointed with the size range considering that this brand is marketing towards larger busted women. Why can't the full cup bra be made to fit an E, F or higher?
Colour Range - Only one colour combo per style - as far as I could tell anyway.

Other Accessories - According to the label on the tags, it appears that each of these styles comes with matching briefs although I couldn't find any of them in the store.
