This is a very simple, comfortable, everyday t-shirt bra. I got this M+S bra for $12 (incl. shipping) on eBay, and for that price it's an excellent quality. It's a very, very soft, "brushed" fabric. The wires are extra padded, and I notice the difference from my other M+S bra in comfort. I have a bony ribcage, so padded wiring is a huge plus to me.

The cups are molded, but soft & flexible, and thickly lined (or a very light, even padding for coverage, however you want to see it). It's a very nice color, somewhere between a rose-nude & ivory. It has a very narrow & subtle lace edge & center bow for decoration. It's more functional than pretty though.

I thought the bra was a demi cup (the listing did not say), but it looks & fits like a full coverage bra now that I see it in person (and I think it's meant to be full coverage). As usual, I think a demi/balconette would suit me better, both taste & fit-wise. The straps are too thick for my taste also, being about 1/2" thick. The straps could adjust shorter also; I wear them as short as possible already & it's brand new.

The band fits me on the tightest hook comfortably, but not tightly. I wouldn't say it's too big because it doesn't ride up in the back...but I can fit more than 2 fingers & ideally, I should have a smaller band. I knew I'd have to wear a 30 band on the tightest hook though (they're just easier to find than 28s!). However, the band measures nearly the same as the 28E M+S bra in their DD+ line.

The cups are just ever so slightly too big. The cups gap about 1/2 cm just at the top edge when I bend over & hunch my shoulders (as if I were to pick something up off the floor); but when standing upright or bending without hunching my shoulders, the cups lay well with no gapping. The wires seem about 1 cm too wide on the sides also, but they are not uncomfortable. They don't poke anywhere at all. This leads me to think a 30D would be too small in the cups (just as the 28DD was in this brand), and that I might be in-between sizes due to my breast shape, but I may try more 30Ds in the future just to see.

I have decided not to keep this. I just find the coverage very ugly... I prefer less coverage in a bra.

This bra is not owned any more
