The Prima Donna Couture Three Part Cup Underwire is a seriously comfortable bra, made of soft, stretchy lace without a hint of itchiness. The full cup style gives excellent coverage and the outer upper quadrant of the cup is stretchy and very forgiving for those with armpit/strap boobs embarking on the Great Migration Home. For those sensitive to seams, this cup is lined with a very soft, featherweight tricot. The tall gore and sides fully encapsulate without seeming intrusive, even on my 5'2", 29" underbust frame. The band and wires are fairly stretchy (more Freya than Panache) without side seam boning, but it feels secure. The very, very minimal underband is just 3/8" and cuts away up to the bottom of the gore, allowing it to not press on short-lady tummies. The straps are fully adjustable, supersoft felt-like elastic with a tiny pleated ribbon running up the center and no irritating lace or tricot along the edges to itch or rub.

After trying on the 65F (the smallest size), which felt too small, the saleswoman at the bra boutique pushed me to go with the 65G despite the bit of wrinkling in the upper lace of both cups. Once I got it home and tried it driving and sitting for a while, I realized there is about a finger width of gap in the outer bottom of the cups above the wire.

Overall, this is a great bra and could even work as a sleep bra or the go-to refuge for PMS week.
