i think i picked this up on ebay, pretty sure as new without tags, but cant remember 100%. originally, i figured i would use it as a work bra, since it would likely be a bit too big in the band and the cut of this bra isn't the perfect fit for me. that way, i wouldn't mind getting it possibly stained from the black t shirts i wear. it fits better than i expected, and i can wear it comfortably as a day to day bra with only minor issues.

the first issue is that the band is too large. on the tightest hook, it stays pretty stable, but i do have to tug it now and then. i would do better in a 32G with some time for the band to break in. the material of this band is also an issue for be. its the type where there are two thicker strips of elastic that border a very thin stretchy piece, and those always curl under or over on me when they are snug enough to provide support. i prefer one uniform material that is sturdier, and am thinking about the possibility of adding that to this bra if it isnt too much of a project.

the straps are slightly too wide for me, and combined with a band that is a bit too lose, means they slide off my shoulders now and then. the gore is also too wide, so it sort of moves side to side a bit as it tries to find room to settle flat. this causes some gaping in the cups, and is just plain annoying. i think if i narrowed the gore, the straps might stay put better, and i wouldn't get the gaping either.

the pattern im not crazy about. i wish it came in something more white shirt friendly, but i wasn't picky when i got this. all in all, it gets the job done and didn't break the bank doing it. i can work all day and move around freely, and only have to adjust minimally.
