I like this bra, I just wish it fit. When it's positioned to where my breast starts on the side the gore tips out and I still have quadboob overflowing the top. If I try to fix the quadboob issue, then I've got major side spillage. The band stretches out really quickly, probably the material used - it's a poly-spandex blend with a lot of spandex, soft, but limits my ability to wear this bra because I really need a 32 band not a 34. Top of cups are too closed for my tall+wide breast root.

Itchy - likely will improve with washing. Slight wrinkle in middle of cup on both sides, but boobs overflowing the top and side of cup/under arm. Doesn't provide an attractive profile under clothes with my breast shape.

As with most Natori T-shirt bra styles, the band is very stretchy, the fabric(s) it’s made of are soft, and the underwires are pretty bendy compared to the firm type used by Panache. I usually wear unlined cut and sew bra styles, however I keep a few T-shirt bras around for when I need them - Natori keeps discontinuing the ones I find are a good fit to the point where they’re almost as bad as wacoal is about discontinuing their unlined bras that fit me well!

This bra is designed with padding that is thickest at the bottom of the cup and this layer gets thinner as it goes up. In theory this is intended to give a push-up effect without being too obvious, unfortunately it mainly just sacrifices the space available in the cup for the breast tissue. When I bought it from a no-returns and no-exchanges seller I hadn't figured out my correct size range yet, but I'm sure that this bra will fit someone perfectly - that someone just isn't me.

This bra is pretty and I like the way it fits, though with the matching panties I am so packing it for my few days of honeymoon in January 2015. The band is very firm, material is very sheer. The straps are 1" but in the front half the elastic is more narrow with the same lace trim seen on the panties sewn onto it from the underside while the back section of the strap is a thicker 1" width elastic without the lace trim.

Better fit than the bali concealers back smoothing underwire I have in the same size, though I spend almost as much time tugging the band down and adjusting my boobs. Stretches out in the band fairly quick, after only a couple of months the two in this style in a rotation of 6 total bras are already on the tightest hooks and still riding up in the back with almost no strap length adjustment just to keep quad look minimal.

I was concerned with exactly how much padding this bra would have (but ordered it anyway and took the chance) but to be honest the padding isn't any more than you'd find in the average t-shirt/contour bra. It is different from their "half-padded" styles which are essentially half t-shirt bra cup and the upper cup is typically lace or sheer only. From the fit it appears to be one of their more recent seasonal releases that in my experience have had wide wires - definitely a good thing for me. It does have that new-bra starchy feel, so I may actually do something I almost never do when I get a new bra - wash it before wearing it the first time because it's new and it's a bra that fits. The matching panties are cute (plus they don't have that center front seam that I HATE) and the right mix of girly/sexy but comfortable.

I love the fit of this bra! For once the wires are wide enough without poking anywhere, the band is snug enough on the loosest hooks so it won't be stretched out by next month, the cups contain everything without any wrinkles or cutting in, and the material is soft not scratchy!

My boobs start somewhat under my arms and are pretty much equally full top and bottom. I'm 5'1" and short in the torso as well, making bras hard to fit. This bra manages to corral my boobs to a more front and outward projection, which I'll admit makes them look bigger on my frame, but I'm ok with that as long as the bra is comfortable (which it is!).

I want to like this bra, but the lace on the bottom edge is always flipping up, and the underwire is too narrow so half my boob is spilling out over just about every part of the sides one can think of.

This is the "blossom" pink color, measures the same as the nude version I have, and the color kind of 'grows' on you - at least it did for me, since I wasn't thrilled when it came out of the box but I love this Panache model even though they discontinued it!
