Got this bra on a clearance/final sale, so didn't pay much for it. I generally have low expectations for final sale items as there is always a good reason retailers have to take such deep markdowns. However, sometimes you get a great score, so I gambled.

Anyway, about the bra. The fabric is a firm knit jersey in ivory with tiny black polka dots. There is a black lace edging at the top of the cups. The straps are wide and very close set in from the shoulders, which feel very secure. They are fully adjustable.

The band is firm, but seems true to size for a 32. It has a U-back and 3 rows of hooks x 4 columns.

About the cups. Well, as someone in another review said, this is a bra you wouldn't want your SO to see you in. The cups are very long and give a splayed, torpedo-ish, downward appearance. Very unflattering and not very supportive.

Having nothing to lose, I decided some bra surgery was in order, so I reduced the upper part of the cup to make it wearable. I took out about an inch of fabric at the apex, tapering at the sides. It still gives an east-west-ish look, or maybe a more omega shape now. The cups are more rounded and less bullet-y this way. Album is here: http://bra.pe/YBue/

Overall, I'm going to count this as a win. I wore it today to do some housework that required a lot of reaching, bending, twisting, etc and it definitely held me in place.

Me: short & narrow roots, center full, close set, pendulous, petite, short waisted, low set, fairly even fullness, narrow shoulders, soft.

  Looks like a science experiment with all that "surgery" on the cups. Glad it counts as a win.

  Funny that I used to be a professional seamstress, but bra alterations give me hives. This one I didn't hesitate on simply because the construction was so straightforward. I used to alter bridal gowns, but for some reason, bras seem so much more complex. Go figure.

  Great job! Really improved the fit. I am thinking to try to make a few new bras re-using some of the findings and parts from my old bras.

  Go for it! What do you have to lose?
