I ordered the Nichole in "powder blue" I use the quotation marks purely because I don't think it looks like the colour that you see on the stock photos when you get one home, personally I think it looks like a greeny/blue, like an aqua or a turquoise.
I haven't been able to get hold of the matching briefs but I usually pair it with a lace brief and that seems to work well I think, although I'm wearing black shorts for the pics as they aren't see through!
I love the shape I see straight on with this bra, it looks very rounded and lifted and my best friend, (who I show every new set I get in the post before usually deciding to keep) thinks it's a good look. My worries how ever, were the look it gives me from the side.
All in all, I was happy with my purchase, I just wish there were less complications with my order, and that tutti rouge was a batter fit for me. I just seem to be the wrong shape to be 100% happy, but the excitement of how gorgeous they look with their colours and patterns sway me to keep them.
I hope this has been useful to some, again any comments and feedback is most welcome! Along with any questions, feel free to ask.

It seemed to be me just worrying over nothing as I don't think you can really see in the pictures. Living alone and with only a phone camera to take pictures with, results in poor selfies, sorry guys! At the top of the cup it almost feels like my boobs are folding upwards, a sort of bulging at the front of the cup if you will...
The lace does dig in a bit creating a sort of "quad-boob" effect, but isn't seen though any of my t-shirts. It is still very comfortable though.
Oh and as I forgot to mention, this is an un-padded bra, with a 3 part cup construction and a lovely lace trim at the top of the cup, the band is fairly firm, but as this doesn't come in a J cup I sister size with a 34HH rather than a 32J which in most brands seems to be the best size for me. The wires come quite far back which is something I seem to find in all 3 of my tutti rouge bras. The band is made with 3 rows of 3 hooks and eyes, any less than that and I fail to feel supported.
I wore this on the loosest hooks for the pictures, but I can quite easily wear it on the the tightest quite comfortably. but the hooks haven't stayed very well at all, I always seem to have a problem with tutti rouge bras, if it's not barely wearing it and the wires popping out in the middle (like on my first betty) it's the hooks coming loose after about 6-7 wears, and my tallulah was a bit of an annoyance, as when I ordered it from the tutti rouge big cartel website, I received an e-mail a day later saying that they didn't actually have the size I ordered. as lovely as the ladies at tutti rouge were, it was rather annoying. I do love how beautiful their bras look though. which hasn't stopped me buying them no mater how many problems have surfaced.
