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

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.

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.

I love this bra, I love Aerie bras in general. They are very well made and beautiful. The bra has some push-up padding that is not removable, just an average amount of push-up, nothing crazy. This bra is new with tags, a beautiful green color. I never wore it, only tried it on. And just to clarify, I never did any alterations to it, it is in its original condition. Also to clarify on the strap width I listed - I listed the strap width as 0.5 inch. This bra has double straps (two over each shoulder), each strap measures approximately 0.25 inch, so together there is 0.5 inch amount of strap on each shoulder. I hope that makes sense.

This bra is SO soft. It's made of cotton and spandex. I love the heather gray color. The cups are quite a bit deeper than my other Aerie bra, but this bra does not have the push-up padding. This bra does, however, have nice, thick padding - but not push-up. I love Aerie bras, I just wish they were made in my size. This bra is new with tags, never been worn, only tried it on.

I like this bra a lot. I feel like it keeps the girls in and gives a good lift without all the padding that I do not want. I've suggested this bra to tons of girls smaller than me too.

I usually look TERRIBLE in bandeaus. Armpit fat and quadboob everywhere. However, there were some good reviews of this on the Aerie site from ladies who usually have similar issues, and I was happily surprised when it fit me well! It looks really cute peeking out of a low-cut shirt, and the optional straps help keep the armpit fat at bay. The only downside is that it makes me look a little flatter than most bras, but I think it's just the style combined with my shape. The band is a little firmer than the average Aerie 34D, which is a plus for me.

Such a pretty bra and so soft! Such a shame it's going to be returned right away. This is a very odd cut. After scooping and swooping, my breasts are falling out of the top and front of it, yet there are big, baggy gaps on the sides, despite the underwires lining up perfectly. I've honestly never run into this combination of issues before.

LOVE THIS THING.

Got it for only 10 bucks and I've worn it to death. Straps are too long, but it's SO COMFY.

Logic dictates that this thing shouldn't fit me, but it fits me AMAZING.

The cups have stretched out underneath since I've worn it so much!

I find this bra very comfortable! It sits very nicely.

It's such a pretty color! The lace is a nice touch too. Unfortunately, it is too small. My boobs work their way out toward the center and before long it's a nipply wardrobe malfunction. Other than the boob spillage it's pretty comfortable.

One of my favourite day to day bras, fits really comfortably. Plain but still pretty cute.
