Cute, but I can't fill out the cups so there's some wrinkling in the fabric. Because it's lace, however, it's hardly an issue.

Having found the 32B too tight, I thought surely its sister size would be more comfortable. My face actually sank when I put this on. It was perfect in the cups but the band rode up in the back. To the giveaway bin it went.

Of the three sizes I tried in this style (32B, 34A, and 34B -- I'm still getting my feet wet!), this was the best fit. Like the Katie, it's a little roomy up top since my breasts are more shallow but adjusting the straps helps to even it out. It's a very similar cut, only softer with more coverage, which is why I was so hard-set on finding the right size. Because I wear a 32B in Katie, however, I was confused as to why all my other Aerie bras felt so ridiculously tight. Now that I've figured THAT out, I have a new go-to T-shirt bra.

Not the prettiest bra, but it fits (especially now that I have started buying Aerie bras according to the add-four-inches rule, which doesn't work for most but works here). It's smooth on all sides and nothing digs in. I get more padding than pushup and the fact that my left breast is larger than the right is more noticeable than with any other bra I've tried, but under clothing who really cares? One of the most comfortable I own and a new favorite.

This was one of my bras before I discovered my true size.

I love this bra! It is elegant looking but very comfortable- especially for a lace bra. It has a touch of push up and is smooth under most any shirt. The color complements all skin tones.

This bra is super soft and looked comfy until I tried it on. The band is a wee bit tight and the cups didn't work for me. Aerie's bras tend to run small, in my experience, so I might try this in another size down the road. It has everyday potential.
ETA 4/5/2014: Trying this on again, the band is fine but I'm not able to fill out the top of the cups.

If the cups were any closer together or the band any tighter, this would've been returned. But because of the stretch (not too much, just enough to conform to your body) it works out. I can't usually fill out full coverage bras but this one's nice with no wrinkling or buckling. The material is extra soft and the contrasting straps are cute.
ETA 4/5/2014: After wearing it for half the day, the wires in the front had become painful and I had to take it off. I think this confirms I should start sizing up where Aerie is concerned.

This is a great bra for those possessing shallow breasts that sit farther apart. It's a flattering cut, and the cotton is more comfortable that I was expecting though it'd probably be less so on hot, humid days.

This may be my favorite strapless bra. A rubberized strip runs along the top and bottom of the band so it doesn't shift when wearing. No matter how much you jump, skip, or bounce, this thing isn't gonna budge. It comes with removable straps and I suggest going without; they're cheap and just get in the way. There's very little stretch due to the lace overlay. The only flaws are that after a while it can start to itch; it leaves noticeable grooves when removed; and under some shirts (namely cotton) the lace catches the material, creating a roll or shelf effect. I just adjust it and move on. But for the right clothes, this is a godsend.

Very pretty bra, but I can't see myself wearing it for long periods of time. The band is stretchy but even on the loosest hook, it's too tight. Because of the padding, there's gaping at the top of the cups and the material is itchy. The balconette cut makes my boobs look great, though.

This is a decent push-up that would work well under T-shirts. The heavy padding can't be removed. The straps detach so it can be worn many ways. It's a little snug but that helps when going strapless. The wire digs in under my right arm which causes some bulging on that side, but it's hardly noticeable. Should get some mileage out of this one.

These actually come in sizes XXS - XXL. I got it in small, which is supposed to cover 32B, 32C, 34A, and 34AA. And it was still too small for me. It has very little stretch and the lace is a little scratchy. Definitely size up if you're considering your own.

An uncomfortably tight fit and the cups were too close together. I realize it's meant to add a cup size, but c'mon. The underwire was painful and I was being squashed from all sides. I really wanted to like this one. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I have a feeling the straps are going to annoy my armpits, but the cups are surprisingly comfortable. I will play with the different strap configurations (it has two options in the back and two options in the front).
Tight band.

I love this bra, because the cups fit my boobs perfectly and it very comfortable, however the band is too big for me. It also stretches out very easily.

this bra was one of the first few that came close to fitting me, when i was trying 34D's. I now know I'm a 34DD bordering on DDD, with wide, spread out breast tissue. It was very comfortable for a while, but now is really too small, although i will go to it in a pinch if i need to. I would like to note that aerie bras seem to run at least a cup size small, as when i was comfortably fitting in 34DDs elsewhere, i would double boob in every single 34DD bra there, even unpadded and unlined.
Appearance: The color is a very pretty pink/coral, almost ... neon but much softer. its sort of hard to describe- the pictures don't match how it looks in person. the pink is mostly under the lace, except for a large sling of it on the outer portion of each cup that's made of a satin-ish material. That same material is used on the first half of the straps. The lace is a very stark white, with a large swirls/vine and floral pattern, and it ends in a small scallop on the bottom edge of the band and top edge of the cup. The gore has an oversize bow int he same coral/pink. I find it very pretty and youthful, and it made me feel pin up! This is definitely my style of bra. Unfortunately, you can tell its "cheap"- there already some fraying despite gentle treatment and infrequent wear, and the material doesn't feel the best against the skin. its not much of a surprise, considering the market is for teen and young adult girls.
Fit: The Reese is a demi cup, with a ballet back and apparently "perkiest" in rating on aerie. it has some padding along the outer side of the cup and lower bit, but nothing crazy. For me, i got a great lift and some cleavage, but not so much that it looked fake or overdone. it seems almost balcony though, as far as the shape of the cup looks on me.The ballet straps and wider band made it much more comfortable for me than most bras, although i do wish it were 3 hook so that it didn't taper down to a 2 hook so fast. It doesn't give much support and because of this i feel like i get more back bulge, and that combined with the cups running a bit smaller means i need to readjust for spillage often.
Because the first half of the straps are made of a more decorative satin type material, there is almost no give to them, and they cut in even when they stretch because theyre thin. there is a metal ring that connects the front and back half whch i often feel digging at my shoulder blade. This also means its only half adjustable.
For a young girl, these bras are probably best. Like most aerie bras, this isnt made of the highest quality material, and runs about a cup size small. It seems suited to a smaller framed person who wont need to depend on it for long. The plus side is that there are a ton of different patterns available, and almost always bras at aerie are on sale. its a great idea for someone who doesnt want to spend a ton on a bra just to grow out of it, but still wants a cute one. I cant see a woman wanting these, if only because of how poor the quality is- it probably wouldnt last very long.

This bra is extremely comfy but it's absolutely not even close to the correct size for me. The band is quite stretchy and it is still too big for me even on the tightest hook. On the loosest hook and before adjusting the cups, the cups appear to gape as if they are too big but after scooping and swooping, they are clearly too small. After wearing it throughout the day, my boobs escape and the cups gape again.

I love this bra, but my boobs outgrew this, too. It is just a tad small for a 32C, but I think that is due to the padding in the pushup. It still is very elastic and has a strong stretch which is good for people that want their bras to stay in place. It is one of the most comfortable push up bras with an underwire that I've ever owed, too bad they don't sell my size in these.

This bra is a disaster. Way over padded, the wires don't run very high on the side and the cups are really short. All this creates a ton of cleavage but the tops of the cups don't lie flat and gape.
