I've seen this bra recommended so many times, so I had to try it out. The first thing I noticed is that the padding is a little stiffer and thicker than I'm used to--I'm from the land of cheap molded t-shirt bras. The band was really really tight when I first tried it on--I thought I bought the wrong size at first--but quickly stretched out. Now, at two wears, the band is loose enough that I can hook it on the tightest hook (though I keep it on the loosest). Hopefully this is not because my ribcage has some sort of magical bra-destroying power.
After wearing it all day, I had a few complaints, some of which might be because it's not quite broken in yet. The gore is much taller than I'm used to--again, I'm used to plunge t-shirt bras--and had a tendency to stab me in the sternum if I bent over. This probably would change over time, I'll stick a cotton ball under the stabbiest top part next time I wear it.
The next is that the outer edge of the wire bites into my ribs in a really annoying way. I'm not sure if I just have sensitive ribs--it doesn't seem off of the root of my breasts, much or if it's a fit issue?
The last is that the bra tends to unscoop and swoop itself over the course of the day. If I shift, a lot of breast tissue comes free of the cup and situates itself into the armpit or back area. I'm thinking this bra may be too shallow for me? Despite size, I'm not exactly what you'd call 'shallow'.
All in all, this bra is an okay, if mildly disappointing first development into owning bras that fit.
