Pros: high cotton content (73% cotton overall and 95% cotton in the cup lining), wide band, and it's a comfortable design. For me it's supportive enough to wear as an everyday bra, but it could also be good for sleeping and lounging around. In non-wired bras I often find that the cups stretch along with the band, but this one doesn't have that problem and the cups keep their shape even when the band is pulled tight.

Cons: styling is quite basic, the straps are only half adjustable, and the cups have no channelling or side boning which makes it slightly hard to tell where the cup begins and ends.

Sizing: the band runs slightly small for a 32 (59cm/23" unstretched, takes effort to stretch it past 74cm/29" or so) and the fabric is reasonably firm. I still had to fasten it on the tightest hooks straight away, and after a day's wear it seemed to be riding up a tiny bit, but I wouldn't call it uncomfortably loose - it fits me better than most 30s and 32s. The cups feel quite generous, and to compensate for the extra room I have to adjust the straps as short as possible, but this may be due to the full-cup design (I'm not that full on top and most full-cups are too roomy for me).

It's hard to comment on the support level as it's not the right size for me, but the packaging reads "sports bra - low impact" and that sounds accurate. I wouldn't wear it for running, for example.

This bra is not owned any more
