I love this bra! The fabric is so soft it feels like the bra is hugging me when I wear it. It also has a nice sheen to it, and is very smooth.
I got this in two colors, a Magenta-like color (this one) called "Retro Glow" and in black.

The band does run small if you're thinking about getting this one (I usually wear a 28 band and this fits perfectly, stretches to 28.5").
I've been looking for a push up bra in a 28 or small 30 band for a while and am happy to have found this bra by Aerie! The push up isn't too intense, I would ... rate it a 2/5 on push up level (5 being Victoria's Secret +2 cupsize bra, but your boobs don't move with you if you turn too fast!). The push up is pretty gradual, I think it looks pretty natural.

The Retro Glow version of this bra has cute little cutouts on the straps in the back, you might be able to see it a little bit in the photo with the label showing, but the black one has normal strap attachments. It's also a wide band which is nice to keep smooth lines under clothes https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Overall I'm happy with this bra and definitely going to keep it! I hope it fits well for my first full day of wear (I'll update this if it doesn't!).

The good:
- super comfortable
- soft & smooth fabric
- fits well enough
- easy to find & inexpensive!

The less good:
- band too large (UB: <26")
- too shallow
- cups are verging on too far apart (even for me!) and too wide
- almost too closed in on top
- the 'full coverage' look is really not my style, but in this case, it's working for me

In sum:
This is a practical, comfortable, easy-to-find bra that isn't technically a good fit, but works well enough to still be a staple in my bra rotation. I'm going to attempt to alter the band, which may have the consequence of pulling the wires even wider and shallower, but I think it'll be worth it.

About me: Shallow, tall and narrow-average roots, even vertical fullness, close-set but extremely outer full so I don't look close-set at all.

This bra is a perfect fit by virtue of the band running very, very small, so I would highly recommend it to anyone who can relate to my self-description (though someone wider-set could probably also get away with it easily). Unfortunately, it's now discontinued in this size and 30D.

I am shallow, full on bottom, pretty wide-set, with tall roots. This bra fits very well, and looks amazing, especially considering that it's a plunge and my shape usually does better with balconettes. The band is too loose to be a real 30, though - I have to set it on its tightest hook when it's brand new, so I worry about stretching. But the dealbreaker is the wire - it digs into my ribcage right around the gore. No amount of bending can make it better. It's completely unwearable after a couple hours.

This bra feels like it has a really stretchy band, compared to some other, more expensive bras in the same size. When I tighten up the bra position, using a racerback converter, then it fits. I could not get a rixie clip onto the band, but I'm going to try again. The cups have a flexible fabric that is soft, so for an all-one-piece cup, the shaping is not too aggressive.

I've worn this bra about 4-5 times and I have to say - it is one of the most comfortable bras I've ever worn in my life! It is perfect for lounging around the house or even if you need to go out - you don't feel like you're wearing a bra! The only drawback is that the cups are too small - it gives me the quad boob sadly. I feel that this would fit a 30B better! It is also a demi-cut bra, which I don't particularly like (I prefer full coverage) but it looks cute and better on smaller boob sizes.

Ok so as much as I've always resented the fact that I often have to shop at stores geared towards juniors to find bras that fit me, I have to say that I had a really great experience at Aerie yesterday. Had ordered the Hannah in a 30B and a 30C to see what fit. The 30C was a better fit but not a good style for me. I went to the store to return them and just thought I'd double check to make sure that they didn't have any 30 bands in other styles that I could try in the store. The sales ... girl got her manager, who was really nice and helpful. I told her why the Hannah didn't work for me and she said she'd check the stockroom and brought back a Blakely and a Sunnie. I liked the Sunnie better, but the one she brought me was baby pink (not really my color...). She checked the stockroom again and found 2 in black in my size. Best of all, she gave me the buy one get one half off deal from the website even though it wasn't going on in the store. Overall a very good experience!!!

While not 100% ideal, the Sunnie is definitely the best-fitting bra that I own at the moment. The Hannah and the Blakely both felt bigger in the band. Though the Sunnie only measures about .5 in shorter stretched (by my measurement), it feels much tighter (in a good way). I think this is because of the fabric, which has a lot of stretch to it but is doubled on the band. Strangely, I can wear it on the tightest or loosest hook with equal comfort. And it's seriously comfy. The fabric is wonderfully soft. I do think that aerie cups run a tiny bit small, but not by a whole cup size, maybe by half a cup. The great part about this for me is that I'm a bit uneven (left breast seems to be a 30C and right a 30B), so it's only the teensiest bit too small on my left and big on my right and gives me a much more even look than most bras. The top inner side of the cup just barely cuts into my left (larger) breast after swooping and scooping, but within 5 mins I've settled into it well. And the part that cuts in is very much on the inside, so you can't tell under a shirt since that's where the fabric is suspended between my boobs anyway.

I think that the reason that this one works (and the hannah didn't) is because it's higher cut and the cups are slightly closer together. My ideal bra would have a slightly wider spacing, but since the higher cut edge begins pretty shallow and has a much more gradual/less abrupt curve than the Hannah it does seem to work despite the fact that I don't have much tissue there. Wish it were a little less boring looking, but overall I think it's a good everyday bra and am happy to finally have something that fits nicely and is so comfortable.

So I got this bra in a 30B and C to see which fit better. The 30C definitely fits better in the cup (gore tacks, doesn't in 30B), but the style is still problematic for my shallow shape. The cup is nice and wide and the spacing is great for me. Even though it's fairly low cut, the cup curves in at the top creating minor quadboob on my larger side and a bizarrely abrupt curved-to-straight silhouette on my smaller side. I do actually fill both cups out completely (no empty space under the sharp curve at the top), probably because they are lined, ... low cut and may run small.

The top being so curved/closed is definitely the issue. I confirmed this by trying it with the crossback option. Having the straps pull in diagonally opens up the top of the cup more and gives me a much more natural silhouette on the smaller and larger side (see pics). For reference, my underbust measures about 27.5-28 and this fits best on the tightest hook. Left perimeter is .5 larger than right, meaning a whole cup size difference between them https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />. I'm including this note and pics of both sides to illustrate the difference between them since I think Aerie cups may run a bit small (from this experience and from reading user reviews on this site and theirs). I think that in most companies my left side is a 30C and my right is a 30B. Though the 30C fits pretty well, I think that in Aerie I might actually be a 30D/30C, which would confirm the previous statement. The upside to all this is that I'm kinda like two reviewers in one haha

Not sure that I'll be keeping it since I wear a lot of tank tops, most of which are not racerbacks. And honestly I find putting on/taking off crossback straps to be pretty annoying. But I do like some things about it (please see 30B review for notes on comfort etc) so we'll see.

This has got to be a 34A masquerading as a 30C. The cups are gapping unless i adjust the straps then the band rides up. The band seems to be way bigger than my other 30 bands at 26inches and it stretches up to 34inches! not sure if all their 30 bands are like this or this was just made wrong but I'm returning it. I wish it fit because its very soft and comfy.

I love the really soft fabric. I’m not a fan of the long lace because it doesn’t sit flat on me and it adds two additional hooks in the back. I like how wide the wires are but ultimately I don’t think the cups are right for my conical shape.

The fabric on this is SO SOFT. The band is tight for a 30, fits more like a 28. I like how wide the wire is, but overall the bra does not fit me well, likely due to the push up padding.

This bra is absolutely beautiful! It just gets uncomfortable with sweat or humidity. It also seems to squeeze and leave marks around the band and top of the cup, even though it still slides up a little with movement.

I have always read comments about how comfortable the Sunnie bras are at Aerie, but unfortunately for me, Sunnie had only come in the full coverage style and full coverage has never fit my shallow breasts very well. I was so excited to see that Aerie had recently come out with some new Sunnie bras but in the demi style. I did not hesitate to make a purchase. I ordered it in solid navy and I have to say that this is the most comfortable bra I have ever owned. You don't even realize that you have it on. The straps are fully adjustable (unlike the Aerie Hannah ... bras that I own) and partially separates into 2 about 2/3 the length of the entire strap (but this does not affect adjusting the strap). It also covers all of my breast tissue. Of course, when I first tried it on, the band was really tight. I had considered exchanging it for a 32B, but decided to keep it for a while in hopes that with a couple of wears it would stretch to a comfortable fit, and it did just that. I plan to purchase a few more in different colors.

Update: After wearing this bra for a while, the band did stretch to a comfortable fit but the cup doesn't come in enough (there is a gap) to enclose my breasts. My breasts are too shallow to fit this bra. So no, I will not be purchasing more in different colors.

In terms of fit, I feel that the depth of this bra is smaller than the regular Aerie Sunnie style (non-racerback). I own the same size in the regular Sunnie style, and this ends up being a better fit for me, as I always get some gapping in the regular style. In addition, the band seems to fit a lot more snug than the regular 30C (which is terrific because I find 28'' band sizes tend to fit me best). Maybe because the band fits better, thus the cups don't gap as much? Even though I think I am closer to a 28C, this seems to be a decent fit.

This bra fits just as comfortably as the Hannah Cotton Lightly Lined Bra in the same size. Other similarities: 1) You can only adjust the straps halfway, and 2) the straps come with hooks to turn the bra into a racerback (I have yet to try this option). The only differences are: 1) this bra has lace on the top portion of the cups; 2) this bra comes in pretty colors, Pink Boom and Light Magenta, of which I bought both; and 3) this bra doesn't come in as much on the top as the Hannah Cotton Lightly Lined Bra does, thus you get less of a quadboobing effect with this bra

The bra is excellent for those with shallow breasts and wide roots. I bought this bra in Charcoal Heather, Oatmeal Heather, and Light Heather. I bought these the same time I bought Blakely because I had heard that Blakely is also great for those with shallow breasts. Compared to Blakely in the same size (30C), Hannah comes in more at the top, so it can give you quadboob if you don't really have shallow breasts. Hannah also has wider cups (I had to return Blakely because it was cutting into my breast tissue). Overall, I love this bra, which I why I bought three. It is comfortable and disappears under t-shirts. Like most other Aerie bras, you can only shorten the straps about half way. This hasn't been a problem for me as of yet. This bra also comes with hooks on the straps to turn the bra into a racerback. I have not tried this as yet.

This bra is very similar to the discontinued Aerie Paige push-up, which I loved for its subtle padding that was also stiff enough that I didn't fall through even though the band was three sizes too big. The Bridget's padding is a bit softer, and its top edge is more diagonal than horizontal. The band in the 30C is also super stretchy. It starts riding up almost immediately after I put it on. Also, the tag is itchy, which I also noticed in the bralettes I ordered with this. I'm not sure if this is something going on in all of Aerie's bras now but the loose band plus the itchy tag made this pretty uncomfortable to wear for more than an hour or two.

This bra is very smooth and relatively comfortable. I got it for sale at $11.99 which I find as a deal for a bra in this size from a large brand. I'm really a 28C/28D but naturally I sized up a band and lower a cup to get a bra size that's actually available (for a reasonable price). My breasts are on the smaller side of 30C, so I didn't have any gapping or quadboob going on. It seamlessly blends into my skin. If you're looking for a bra that gets the job done well for a hard to find size, I would recommend this.

Updated on Jun 17, 2015 Flag this

This bra is awesome except I get quadboob. I am going to trade it for a 30D. It's good if you are shallow, broad rooted, have medium to far apart spaced breasts, and tall rooted.
