How do you say... a very good staple foundation piece except it's a nightmare to put on or escape from? Neither of us could work out either the angle of shoulder dislocation required to get the hooks & eye done up in the back, nor any kind of timely manner to adjust the straps. A good piece but it requires someone else to get in and out of :/
The neckline in this size run low on my petite teen but also gave great coverage. It's the back just below the neck where Storm's straps join that is harder to hide under clothing- I'm rather larger in shoulder, so while it wasn't ridin up on my neck it clung and cut into my trapezius muscles badly. Definitely consider shoulder slope and muscle alignment when selecting this style.
Purchased for thin teen who needs petite shoulder sizing and prefer racer back fit. Inner lining is typical slinky for Bravissimo's fusion style offerings an doesn't itch or pinch. The outer/band/strap material is not the softest in Storm, but the wicking, elasticity and recovery are exactly what we've been looking for in an ocean of saggy sad yoga tops and compression-only foundation pieces that basically only exist to crush and smash down any upper fullness and push everything out of the cups into the armpits.
The hardware is fairly industrial strength without being industrial-sized, the build and details modern and attractive, the shape the bra allows is a very wide, high set and rounded profile that's effectively minimizing without being a binder.
Win for meeting our criteria, but booo hiss boo outgrown within all of about 2 months. If I had to compare this to anything else, possibly a dupe for underarmor's hi- impact
