I have shallow, moderately wide breasts that are conical and slightly tubular. I am athletic/muscular.

This review is an update to my previous review. I had tried this on in 30D and could barely fasten it at all, it was so tight. I returned it and got it in 32C, which fits pretty darn well (I normally wear a 28DD).

Even on the 32 band, the band is on the tight side for me. It's definitely very inelastic. I've never had a bra with a band this unstretchy before, and it's a very different experience. On the one hand, it's nice to never have to adjust it throughout the day. ... On the other hand, I can't inhale deeply.

I'm kinda torn on this bra. First off, it fits me very well, and is moderately comfortable. But I will say that it looks kind of odd on me. It doesn't really give me a shape that I am a huge fan of (though it's not horrible). I like that the lace is thin enough that this can work as a t-shirt bra. I also like that it's very forgiving of shallow breasts - no quad boob in sight! It's not exactly my shade of skin (it's a little too pink), but is close enough that I can use it as a nude-colored bra.

The cup feels very cheap. There's a very inelegant dart running vertically, and creates the illusion of a nipple going on there. It's also a cheap, stiff foam.

The underwire is a bit taller in the armpit than I'm used to, and it goes up a little higher, too. That, combined with a very tight band, definitely emphasizes the outer edge of my breast. This works for me, because it happens to perfectly line up with my pecs and my tail of spence. I could see it being weird for other people, though, especially if they've got very wide breasts.

I had mentioned in my review of the 30D that the bottom of the cup is very shallow. Wearing my proper size, I can say that it's definitely shallow, but not too shallow for me. I fill out the bottom of the cup very nicely. The cups are moderately wide, but not extraordinarily so.

I agree with the other reviewer here - this bra feels cheap. It's very soft, but it doesn't exactly reek of quality. The dart on mine creates the illusion of a prominent nipple, something I don't usually have to worry about.

Overall, I definitely recommend this bra for someone who has very shallow breasts and is moderately wide in shape. In addition, I highly recommend this for someone with a very small ribcage. Just make sure to sister size up one or two sizes.
