This is a strapless push-up bra with moulded cups which, for some unknown reason, comes with removable clear straps. It retails for $39.99 in Australia, and $44.99 in New Zealand.

It looks great on the hanger in the rack. There's a nice satin ribbon that runs along the top of the cup. However, if you look closely (which I had to when taking the measurements), you soon realise that the bra is not worth $40.

On my particular bra, there are several overhanging threads left over from sewing. While these do not harm the bra in anyway, it certainly demonstrates a lack of attention in its construction. There seems to ... be puckering in the fabric stemming from a slightly tight thread tension. Stitching seems to be careless as well - on the left cup, there is a noticeable gap between the underwire channel and the band.

The elastic used is of a decent enough quality, so I don't understand why clear straps were included; this is not a convertible bra. However, this is just a personal preference. There is minimal stretch in the band, likely as a result of the elastic used.

I've tried this on a few times, and it hasn't slipped down my body, a common occurence for me with strapless bras. The push-up effect on this bra is minimal - there's a thicker section of foam in the moulding, but all it seems to do for me is make it more difficult to judge whether I've got my breasts sitting properly in it or not.

The lack of give in this bra makes it unwearable for me without an extender. Even on the last hook, it's just too tight. Cup wise, this is a nice fit, even if I have to take more time adjusting my breasts.

If you can pick this bra up for sale around the $20-$25 mark, it'd be a good deal. However, based on what I know about BnT's pricing, it's not going to happen anytime soon. I'll be returning mine for a refund.
