Acquisition:
Purchased this from brastop.com.
Appearance and Construction:
The construction seems passable. The bra is made from a smooth polyamide, nylon mesh which stretches over the thinly padded cups in the front. The inside is a contoured, lightly-seamed foam that is not uncomfortable.
The underwires are thin and are medium width- not "U" shaped, but not wide, either.
Both the band and wires have give that allows them to stretch under moderate force.
The straps are made of shiny, ruched elastic with a satin weave and are quite stretchy. The width of the straps is very thin. Each strap has a single, narrow slider which is difficult to adjust.
The closure has 3 columns with 3 eyes each.
Fitting:
The band was much too small for me and I was unable to complete the closure. Despite the amount of stretch, I feel that an extender would not make a substantial difference in the fit.
Because the cup depth is shallow, it does not allow my projected breast shape enough room, and I spill out over the top of the cups.
While the gore is thin, my breasts are closely set and it does not separate them adequately enough.
The thin straps are quite wide set, and press into the furthest reaches of my (narrow) shoulders.
I feel like different sizing would be appropriate. I will be returning this bra.
