In the spring of 2019, I decided to give the Georgia a try. I really loved the mint Alana I purchased a few years earlier and I feel the same with this one. Comfort and support are quite good with very little quadding on either side. The cup material is a little thin, an observation that a fellow bratabaser also made.in her review so I generally wear the Georgia when I know I will have an extra layer or two. I prefer the Alana and Selina Lace over the Georgia but all 3 easily surpass anything else out there for me.

I likely wore this, and my other mint 40L Georgia, fewer than 5 times each over the first year I had them. The material is certainly on the thin side and that made me think that it would lose support the more I wore it. However, over the past 2 months, I find myself wearing this more and more and perhaps more now than any of my other bras. I have been wearing fabric nipple pads whenever my bra does not hide them well and that has given me some confidence, especially on hot summer days. The shape I am getting now is a little more rounder and not so high and I end up feeling more comfortable. Plus, this mint colorway is without a doubt my favorite.
I recently noticed that my white Selina had a band whose wings were made of 2 materials, each of different levels of softness that I had never noticed before in any bra I have owned. This Georgia has 2 materials in the wings as well but unlike my white Selina, the inside and outside layers seem to be the same materials Less surprisingly, the cups are comprised of 2 materials and they also seem to be of the same fabric.

About 2 months since my last observation and for no particular reason, I had stopped wearing this bra. There has been recent discussion that focused on the straps Bravissimo has on their recent product line up. The comments seem to focus on the tendency of the straps to fold over which would lead to straps digging into the shoulders. Some of my Bravissimo bras have this weakness but the Georgia is certainly not one of them. At this moment, the Georgia straps are superior to all of my Alana's and most of my newer narrow wire bras. They are soft but firm with not even a trace of folding and they also do not slip off of my shoulders. I will send Bravissimo a note asking them to consider using these straps on their new bras.

  I have gone a whole week without wearing one of my many Alana's. I have been neglecting or maybe ignoring all my other bras since the Alana's fit so well, at least compared to the many ill-fitting bras in my past.
  I have had this Georgia in mint for a year now and I may have worn it 2 or maybe 3 times. It gives a nice round uplifted shape although it tends to push my boobs into the sides where it then rubs against my arms a little. The band seems to be TTS although I have not worn this often enough to really stretch it out. The straps are soft but not overly stretchy so they do a good job of helping the band support my boobs. They are a bit too wide for me but that is likely due to my wearing this on the loosest hooks. As it stretches out, I can still use the tighter hooks to compensate.
  I recall reading a review on the Bravissimo website where one owner compared the material to a bikini. I do not understand the basis for that comment as this bra is not very close to any bikini I have ever worn. The Georgia does a better job at hiding my rather prominent nipples compared to my Alana's although there is still a bit of show through so nipples covers or a cami are still required.
  I find the Georgia to be very similat to my Selina, Selina Lace and Erin bras in terms of fit, style and comfort but they are very different than my Alana's. Overall, I still prefer the Alana to any of these and quite frankly, at this size, I am happy to have this many well fitting bras.

• The Georgia's had dropped out of my rotation over the past year due my purchases of various Bravissimo bras that feature their narrow wires. I wore the Georgia to work yesterday and experienced all of the good qualities I remember previously having.

  I was very disappointed with what I saw though when I took this bra off, not one but two of the eyes were close to being pulled out! It was the middle set that was affected so I can still use the loosest or tightest fasteners. Thankfully, I have worn my current rotation much more frequently than the Georgia and none of them have shown this problem.

• Yesterday morning, I saw this bra in my drawer and decided to wear it on it's soon to be torn out hooks. Two of the three middle hooks looked ready to be pulled out and since I was going to be home all day, I figured there was little danger in being right. As it went, the day was quite normal with a little bit of heavy lifting so this Georgia with the weak hooks survived without incident. To be sure, I will not wear this bra, at least on the middle hooks, when I leave home.

  The straps on this Georgia are indeed among the best in any bra I have ever had not named Jenna. I just wish they were an inch or so closer together to minimize straps falling off my shoulders. I think I will jump on a 38 band mint Georgia if I ever see one for sale.

• I wore my other mint Georgia the day after I posted my previous comment with the same success although the fasteners are not coming apart on that one. I am very pleased but at the same time puzzled by why I more or less gave up on my Georgia's. I seldom wear these, especially lately due to my preference for my narrow wired bras and my Jenna's. I will likely wear these more often until they finally give up. I am regretting placing a recent order for new bras as my old Georgia's, Selina's and of course Alana's still have plenty of life in them.
