UK 36D

The combo of fit + shape might be as close to perfect as I'll ever get. I have one tiny, tiiiiny quibble, which is that I wish there was just a hint less projection at the apex. Just a hint. Ok, on to all the awesome:

Material: feels smooth as silk, breathes like air. I've seen some people say the material felt flimsy, but I think they must be comparing it to bras made of thicker material. AFAIK, there is no such thing as see-through fabric that feels thick. Instead, I'm pleasantly surprised by how strong this fabric feels, given that it's sheer. And soooo comfortable and light. My American South summers just got a lot more bearable.

Band: pleasantly stretchy. My experience so far is that 36s tend to start at 30 inches and stretch to about 35 (I can usually force them to 36, but then cup distortion starts creeping in). This one starts at 29 and stretches to 36 without distortion. Another pleasant surprise for me: it reduces my "rolls." The bottom edge of the band is nice and grippy, but the top edge of the band--which on most bras squeezes me into some serious rollage--has a bit of extra, different fabric that seems to spread out the tension and mitigate that squeezing. Kind of like how you're supposed to spread-eagle when pulling someone out of a frozen lake.

Wires: Pretty firm, U-shaped. A good width and height for me (slightly narrow, short).

Gore: Lays flat on me, short but not super-short. The tops of the wires dig in a little after an hour or so of wear, so I'll probably bend them out a little.

Cups: Flexible and stretchy, while still providing support and a nice rounded shape. This is the first unlined bra I've tried that offers enough room to accommodate my outer fullness; other unlined bras have flattened the outside of my boobs, so that when I look down at them, they look like
/)(\.

Straps: Not very wide, stretchy but firm. Fully adjustable. They attach to the cup a little further from my arms than most other bras, which I love.
