My search for beautiful lingerie in natural fabrics brought me to Harlow & Fox. I’m sure my search terms included “silk.” I was gratified to find a lovely looking bra in my predicted H&F size in the Outlet section. I was worried about fit, and it was easier to take the risk at a lower price. Now that I am confident of my size here and the quality of the products, I have forwarded the catalog to my husband and expect many future purchases by myself and (quite probably) gifts from him.

My Fantasie (UK brand) swim top is a 34F with a full cup, so that’s what I ordered from H&F. The fit is comparable.

With my pendulous natural shape, the Eleanor Grey Full Cup is only *just* full enough. The lacy upper cup allows my tissue to “flow like water” as I think of it. I wouldn’t wear this one for strenuous activity because I prefer more all over support for the breast tissue. That said, this is more comfortable than any other bit of “fancy” lingerie that I’ve ever purchased. I wouldn’t be afraid to wear it out of the house under formalwear or other finery. The “lack of support” is more equivalent to wearing heels when one prefers sneakers—an expected trade off to achieve a certain look.

The requirement for hand washing will limit my everyday wearing of my H&F splurges more than anything else. I wear a lot of silk, but almost all of it stands up well to careful machine washing using delicates bags for extra support and separation from other items. I use the hand wash cycle in a Miele machine, then carefully air dry. I will try to follow H&F’s more strict care instructions, because I love the pieces I bought, but only time will tell. As they age, I may run the risk and try laundering by my usual process because I am lazy!

For comparison, my usual everyday bras from mainstream brands in the USA are sized American 32G and made by Wacoal or Chantelle. Best fitting styles for my rather pendulous shape are Wacoal Awareness and Halo Lace or Chantelle Révèle Moi and Rive...

Beautiful and very well-made bra. The band does run tight since it's silk, so that's something to keep in mind. I've never seen such a well-made bra at this price!
I wish there were a camisole as well!

This bra is easily the most beautiful bra I've ever had.

The bra is incredibly luxurious, elegant and "wearable" at the same time. This is a product of utmost quality using expensive and superior production techniques (three point zigzag, very short stitches, perfect stich tension, concealed seams etc.). The silk is soft and sturdy and has a warm shimmer leaning a bit towards ink. I'm pale and blonde and was a bit worried that the colourway might be a bit high in contrast, but thanks to the warm glow, it compliments me perfectly.

Please note that the band runs rather small compared to other brands and the cups are true to size. I'm sure that band size 30 would be suitable for a 28, as well. There is mesh underneath the lace which adds stability to the bra but if you are full on top, you might want to size up to avoid spilling.

I normally wear 32G in my Panache, Avocado and Freya bras and have ordererd the same size, here. I sometimes find that Panache is the sizing in Panache bras is a bit more generous. This one is more similar to Freya, but runs a bit smaller in the band.

The original price is more than justified given the quality of the product. If you are fortunate to be in the size range of Harlow and Fox, make sure to give it a try!

I was hesitant to order this style, as quite frankly it looks boring in the photographs.
I'm so glad that the sale nudged me to get this bra.
Its very beautifully made, the lining is comfortable and so is the back.
Unfortunately this is a bit to small in the cup for me (ordered a 32FF my regular size is 30H), however I'm seriously considering ordering a bespoke version of it...its that beautiful!
I wish the offered a camisole to complete this beautiful set.

The bra is exquisite, the packaging was divine. I'm very pleased and cannot wait to order my next Harlow & Fox piece.
