This bra is mildly uncomfortable. It feels like the underwire is cutting into my rib cage. I thought the band might be too tight...but then it has the classic symptom of riding up slightly in the back, although it passes the 2 finger test on the smallest hook. Photos sure illuminate problems...I notice it creates "armpit fat" which doesn't exist when not wearing the bra. I am pretty sure the size is just wrong for me. It's one of the only 32C bras I own - most in that size are just too big all around. I thought this fit well when I bought it though.

I used to think of this as a good fitting bra because 1) the band feels more fitted than most 32 band bras I own 2) the center gore actually lies flat against my chest 3) my boobs don't spill out the top, but there is also no gapping 4) It is flattering in that it's not padded, but I still appear full-ish with it. That is a rarity for non-padded bras and me.

I realize now it is ill-fitting because 1) the underwire cuts into the sides and my breast tissue spills out in the arm pit area 2) it relies too much on the straps for support 3) the band rides up a little & it's on the smallest hook. The photo really shows it does not lift me as much as it could, nor contain all of my breasts.

I like the style. I find demi-cups flattering. The lace & bright yellow color makes this hard to wear under much though. The quality seems nice, but then I don't wear it too often, and I think it's only been washed twice.

*EDIT* - Okay I edited this to say that I tried the "scoop" with this bra, where you smoosh your "armpit fat" back into the cup where it belongs, and my bra cup seriously overfloweth, creating the dreaded quadra-boob effect. So I am revising this to say, no, the cups don't fit at all; my boobs just tend to spill out the sides instead of the top, probably due to their teardrop shape. I also pulled the band down to where it should sit (it doesn't ride up a lot; just an inch or so), and when I did that it was very clear there is an extra inch of band length I don't need. When I pinch the band tight, the cups also become obviously too small.

This bra is not owned any more
