Over the summer, there were A LOT of bralette reviews popping up, and even though I thought I hated them, I wanted to get on that train. My breasts also were going through a stage where they ached with the slightest bounce and movement, so I was desperate to find a solution. It needed to be something that was more comfy for slouching and sleeping in. If possible, I wanted to be able to wear them as an actual bra to work/running errands since it was hot out!!
This was the first I got from Target, and I immediately shortened the band (cut off 1 inch on either side in back) and reattached the hook and eyes. It helped a bit, but still super duper long, and stretchy. Hey it was only $12, what was the risk in trying? https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
The cups are just too flat. They slide down and wrinkle below my boobs, and flatten them more than their natural projection. At first I figured that was just how bralettes worked like I remembered, and a bit disappointed, I saved it as an around-the-house/sleeping bra.
BUT there will be a happy ending!! Stay tuned for the next few bralettes! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

  I like this aesthetic. Did you find the lace scratchy? The model I purchased was comfortable at first but "rubbed me the wrong way" after a few minutes.

  Love4Pollinators The cups and band aren't scratchy, but the super thin straps are annoying. The lace alone would be, but the inside of the cup is soft mesh, so it's comfortable to my sensitive skin. I just can't wear it for a long time because every time I look down, I'm like "where are my boobs?!" and eventually get frustrated with how it fits. I could feel it pressing in along the top edge, and my arms kept brushing the sides of my breasts, so I knew it was pulling them to the sides even more than they naturally are. Despite the alterations, it wants to always ride up, and the straps being so thin dig into my shoulders, so I don't really wear this one any more. I took the photos several weeks ago and just finally am getting them uploaded. :P

• Sigh. That is frustrating!
