Used to fit

Bought this bra at {intimacy} in Boston, which was a hell of a pilgrimage from my home in NE Wisconsin (to be fair, it was a side trip to a greater mission), but given that I'd only managed to find one bra of approximately the right fit in my home area (and it was really ugly), I'd say it was worth it to finally have a bra that fit well and didn't make my eyes bleed. It makes my boobs look great, even in tshirts, and the bow at the gore and I have come to an uneasy understanding.
But anyway - the underwire doesn't bother me until I've been wearing it for many hours, at which point it starts to dig in a little bit. There's this odd little quirk wherein the fabric surrounding the wire itself twists outward on the bottom of the right cup (as I'm wearing it), which is weird but not exactly uncomfortable. The band stretched to the point where I had to switch to the middle set of hooks pretty fast, which annoys me because I've found I like wearing a band that hugs my ribcage.
Overall, I've been very happy with this one, between the band staying where it should and my boobs not falling out when I lean forward, but so far I've got pretty low standards.

Edit, July 2013:
So, when I wrote this back in January, I was speaking mostly of how it had fit when I bought it in August and wasn't ready to admit that my boobs had managed to get even bigger in the intervening time. So yeah, it doesn't technically fit anymore, but I can sort of wiggle things around so the quadboob, at least, is minimal (of course, this pulls the gore away from my sternum...), and it's still super-comfortable. In all, I still quite like this bra, and I've been hunting around to find the same model in a bigger size for not as much money as I spent on this one (there was definitely sticker shock).

This bra is not owned any more
