Oh, boy. This is my most bittersweet bra in a long time. On the one hand, it actually just looked like how I think a bra should! Unlike all these patterned mesh concoctions I've grown accustomed to, it was basic, sexy, and even (gasp) gave me a bit of cleavage! Absolute winner when it comes to looks.

On the downside, the blasted thing was incredible uncomfortable. The band ran very tight (sister sizers rejoice! ...except not me because this is already the biggest band size they make.) The straps were also incredibly thin and actually too short for me, which rarely if ever happens. While the band was a bit better with an extender, the one of the straps kept twisting and wouldn't stay flat. The band also felt much thinner and more bitey, even compared within brand to the also two hook 38H - Cleo » Juna (6461)

The cups themselves fit mostly okay, although the wires were definitely too narrow and short for me. (Often a problem for me, though this was probably worse than average.) The lip of the cup on my larger breast also curbed out a little, like the foam wasn't quite right with the fabric case? In a way I've seen molded cups do before. Not sure if this was a defect or size thing, but there was no quadboob in sight.

All of that said, I'm still sorely tempted to keep this. I know,I know, that's a terrible idea, considering it was uncomfortable enough I haven't yetconvinced myself to try it on again after the initial five minute go. But I loved the look of it so much, I'm still tempted to try strap and maybe? Possibly? Band surgery (though I'm not actually qualified for either.)

EDIT: I tried it on for longer, and I'd say that the wires are quite U-shaped, making it hard to fully nestle in the bottom for me, and definitely quite narrow as well - they were slightly narrower than my 75JJ - Ewa Michalak » Pl Black (64) when I tried them on at the same time.

So, I'd recommend this bra for someone who wears true to size 36s or stretchy 34s usually, and prefers a narrow, U-shaped cup, with less projection than EM but not shallow. The cups felt true to size for certain shapes to me. (I'm a large 38H/small38HH these days, with Hs often taking some convincing not to quad, and had no signs of quadboob in this.)

For reference, I tried it in black.

• Ugh,I had a similar experience with the 36H Neve I tried.Bandless isn't as comfortable for some reason since I've gained some weight and my ribcage is bigger.Then the straps are crazy and I had welts after a mall trip..ya...I may try to replace them.The wires were good on me,not too narrow,not too wide,which made me especially attached to this bra.But I also had an issue with the cup curling,but on my left smaller boob,weirdly enough.Not so great on my fuller on bottom breasts,either. :/
  Still keeping it for occasions I need a nude plunge bra and will only wear it for a few hours.
  As for the band,it does run very tight,but that's only at first.Get an extender and it will stretch out several inches after a while.

• Good tip on the band! Although now I'm even more tempted into bad bra decisions. :p interestingly, the cup curling is the left side for me as well.
