Felt really secure in the band and smooth on the sides. Center gore floated quite a bit and couldn't really get near my sternum even when I tried to hold it in place just to see. Sides squeezed a little in a couple of spots where the too-small cups were pushing the wires away. Straps felt good, though, and even though there was vertical movement when I tested it (because the band couldn't rest flush), it still felt pretty secure overall. Felt like very sturdy, high-quality fabric, with very little stretch.
- Center gore placement:
- Doesn't lie flat against sternum
- Top of the cup:
- Cuts into breast tissue (quad boob effect)
