One of my favourite bras to not worry about. Since it's a continuity and rather inexpensive I don't worry about damaging it. I can also forget I have it on. Cooking? Cleaning? Facing a diabolical villain? No problem. Well, the villain might be. I have noticed with constant physical labour (usually stretching or reaching up a lot) the band can shift around, otherwise it usually stays in place. Speaking of the band, this absolutely seems like a 30 band. It will happily and comfortably stretch to 30. But the mesh won't ride up on regular days on me. It is reasonably loose on me, though, again it stays ... in place.

The cups are rather open on top, a personal plus for me with how much my breasts change depending on the day. It seems to be small on my bigger side though. The cups have enough projection for me. Doesn't do a lot for uplift and the attractive split straps are too wide for me. Maybe I I just don't get any uplift due to the loose-ish band? The wires are a bit wide for me, maybe a couple fingers, but creates no fit or layering problems.

The wires can be creaky, sometimes I hear them flexing. They're also soft wires. Also while measuring I noticed that the wire channel has about 3/4" of just empty space at the end of the wire (next to the wing). I don't feel the wires shift around in the channel.

The outer mesh and lace-y fabric on the cups isn't friendly towards most thinner shirts or most tank tops and will show through.

Fits almost perfectly but I just can't do underwires. Removing the wires and taking a dart out of the gore to compensate for the resulting non-tacking looks promising though.

I bought this bra to try as my first properly fitting bra, because it was on sale for 10$. The reviews online noted that the bands seem to fit small, but I'd have to say, it seems this cup is too small for me as well, as it has a shallow fit and creates a little quad boob on me that I'm hoping to not have. I would try it again in a cup size higher. Other than having the wrong size, it's a beautiful bra!

This is a cute bra, and fits nicely, but the side underwire is probably why I love it. It feels like it's hugging me in a super stable, supportive way.

Fit is great, just itchy for me on the inside.

mm ok? the wire seems to stay in my IMF, at least below the boob. On the outer sides, it isn't wide enough so the wire leaves marks on my breast. In the center, the gore tacks but was pushed off center by my larger boob. I think we can blame the overall wire width for that.

looks a bit small visually?

I am tall, with low, wide, shallow, widely spaced, FOB breasts and a promient sternum. I like the softness and squishiness of the cups on this bra, but they don't shape me the way that I like to be. I prefer a nice rounded shape and these seem to emphasize my FOB-ness, probably because the cups don't give enough support. I am in between a 32 and 34 band and can be a D or DD cup depending on brand/model. The 32DD fits well with a bra extender, so as expected in the band. The straps do not extend long enough for me. They are also weirdly thin, and the double strap in the front has no stretch and is constantly getting twisted/refuses to lie flat. The lace also bunches at the apex of each cup and creates a misleading point there that is not reflected in the cup. The lace and weird shape also shows through most of my clothing. I do like the cups but this is not a go-to bra for me.

Having previously gotten the 32D and found it nearly perfect in all but the too large band, I finally bought the 30DD and am much happier. The band is just right for me, the cups still fit exactly with a very pleasantly open cup for FOT breasts, and the back of the band is a little wider in the 30DD, so it provides fractionally more support. It continues to be very soft, with soft wires, so the fact the gore is too wide for my close-set breasts is actually a negligible gripe that I can't even feel. I am going to remove the center bow, but I figured I would leave it in for the pictures this time.
There is still the matter of the center seam of these bras showing very visibly under thin shirts, but personally if I like a bra, I don't care if someone can tell I'm wearing one.

This a nice lightly padded bra for good support without oomphy cleavage, for FoB, immediate projection, wide set. High gore. The center seam will show through thin shirts. I don't like this bra as much as the others I have, but there's nothing structurally wrong or uncomfortable with it. Three ribbon straps instead of one half inch strap.

This was not a good bra for my shape. While it had the correct amount of wire breadth and projection for my broad rooted and shallow shape it did not provide enough coverage for my tall roots. This bra is for people who have short and broad roots in addition to a shallow shape.

I also really did not like the fact that the underwires at the gore were hurting my sternum.
