This is one of the most comfortable racer back bras I've worn in a long time! Really enjoy the great pushup I get and the centre clasp doesn't itch or bother me throughout the day. I had to get a band size up and a cup size down since I read reviews that the band size runs SUPER small but the cup sizes run slightly bigger, so I went for a 32B instead. It is true - the band size feels like a 29-30 inch band size and the cups - maybe I could've gone a knotch higher, but my right smaller boob does gape sometimes! Still, awesome material, great quality and I love the style. I'm not sure if it fits my kind of boobs though, I'll have to figure that out! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I really loved this bra, till I realised it was too small for me. I'm not a true 32B so it didn't fit. I bought it because I believed in 'sister sizes' but after getting fitting help for this bra I know I can't wear this. However, it is super comfortable and you don't feel as if you are wearing anything. It is padded, but only till 1/2 the bra and it is not THAT thick. It also has a demi-cut coverage. It looked cute, but unfortunately I can't wear them because they are too small!
It's not my size so I can't comment on the fit, but I thought the band was very stretchy. The bra is lightweight but it's also rather flimsy. The price is on the lower side, so I guess that makes up for it.
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.
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=":(" />
This seems to run true to size. The cups on this bra fit well, but the band is just too large. Otherwise, a great t-shirt bra. Very comfortable and cute print!

The cups on this bra are comfortable and run true to size, but the band is just too big. It is a convertible and can be worn a variety of different ways.
Too big around. I love the appearance and even the materials and construction of Aerie bras, but they are just way way too big for me (and most of their clientele, whether they know it or not). I actually altered one that I have to make the band shorter but that just brought the cups around way under my arms - now it's a minimizer.
