I first purchased the regular version of the Maddie, and I really liked two things about the bra that I found unusual. First is the crisscross center gore. While it doesn't serve a functional purpose, the sleek lines of the design really appealed to me. Second is the padding design in the cups. Again, no real functional purpose, but the gently curved lines that section the padding is a treat for someone that appreciates lines and their design.

Anyway, this is my best fitting strapless bra. I have it in beige and it fits perfectly. The band isn't as short as some of the Aerie 32A bras that I own, but it stays in place. The cups are wide enough, yet shallow enough to give a super smooth appearance under my clothing. One of my workhorse bras.

One con: This bra comes with attachable straps so that you can wear it multiple ways. The stitching on the fabric that holds the strap hooks comes apart pretty easily, and I've had to restitch it back.
