I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the Forever Perfect bra line. This bra was the first I'd tried on after determining my "true size" -- I fondly remember that first "holy crap" moment of bending over without any gapping, or having my boobs spilling out of the cups. At the time of these pictures I have been wearing this bra almost every day for two months, including for some pretty active, sweaty manual labor. The band has stretched less than half an inch -- I'm still fastening it on the loosest hooks. My body composition has changed since purchase, and am no longer a true 32DD. Currently leaning towards a 30 band, still trying to determine my new cup size.

The material is soft and silky smooth, characteristic of all the BJ bras I've tried. There's quite a bit of moldable memory-foam-like padding; back when I was a true 32DD, I was thrilled at the combination of containment and lift, with the low-to-moderate coverage I want. However, I think this bra might be better for someone whose breast tissue is self-supporting, or someone who is more shallow than I am (i.e., someone better-suited for moldable cups). The cup is is certainly deep enough in the middle to lift and support my tissue, but see how mine wrinkle at the bottom? That's partially because I have needed to size down for a while now, but also because my boobs stay pretty soft/pendulous for most of the month and haven't compressed the foam padding enough to mold it.

Ultimately, I still love this bra despite the fact that it no longer fits me *quite* right, and own it in three colors. It's a better fit around the time of my period, when my cystic breasts become larger and firmer. I think I paid about $12-17 for each bra on Amazon, which is a pretty outstanding deal in my book.
