Didn't fit

Pros: price (on sale about $15), soft
Cons: odd sizing (S/M/L, but vaguely based on bra size? Described further below.)
In some of my first bra store encounters after self measuring based on the 4+ method, I managed to find this odd bra. Sizing was not band-cup, but S/M/L based on your size, and the tag had a vague sister size based chart for sizing. I thought I was a 34B, so I tried on the small. It is very comfortable, a blend of nylon and Lycra elastane, and is quite a "barely there" feeling of fabric. The straps are half-adjustable, but are of a suitable length. Another construction oddity consists of the attachment of the cup: it is a moulded cup, but is not directly attached to the bra the entirety of the underwire; it is covered by fabric in the front of the cup, and has the fabric binded around all the edges, and the fabric is well attached to the underwire. It has 4x2 hooks, so it could last a while, but the very elastic fabric is concerning, as it might stretch out faster.
After alterations to the band to size it down, and to the gore to narrow it to fit me better, the bra fits differently, but acceptably until I have enough money to buy ones in the proper size.
