Purchased this before trying to figure out my size and realizing a band size of 26 or 28 would usually be more appropriate for my frame, but it felt fairly firm as far as 32s go. I've since attempted tailoring the band to my frame (bringing in both the center gore and the band at the back) with reasonable success; it's one of the more comfortable bras I have now. I won't, however, base the review on the way it fits now that's it's been altered. Fit issues are based on the bra before my alterations.


Pros:

*The pattern is cute. It's a black plaid cup with black lace along the top.
*If you have a more petite frame (like me) the half-cup style should work well for you.
*It has a relatively low center gore, which is also nice.
*The cup is not particularly stiff, but it is (I guess) moulded because it is one continuous piece. It gives a nice rounded shape under clothing.
*The band of course was way too big on me, but measured right at 32. It's not overly stretchy, so it doesn't feel like it will stretch out too quickly.


Cons:

*The straps are not fully adjustable, which could be an issue for some.
*The lace along the top of the cup, while cute, is visible under tighter clothing. It would be a better t-shirt bra without the lace.


Overall, it's a cute bra, gives good shape, and probably good for petite frames despite the limited adjustability of the straps.
