The 32D - B.tempt'd By Wacoal » B.tempt'd By Wacoal Wink Worthy Con in the austral aura colorway is a deep purple t-shirt bra that does the job but manages to make my tall+wide rooted, averagely projected, even all over breasts look flat while doing it.

The seamless, underwired, and mesh-covered foam cups are shaped to create a sweetheart neckline. They are lightly padded in "typical" t-shirt bra fashion. The coverage under a t-shirt is smooth and yet somehow unflattering on me. The cups flatten me out almost as if the bra were too small (which is possible, but not obvious).

The front part of the band ... -- the part directly surrounding the cups -- is made out of scalloped eyelash lace layered on top of mesh lace, which adds a pretty detail to an otherwise utilitarian bra. The back of the band is double-layered mesh lace with elastic trim. It fits snug at first but stretches with wear. In the 32D, the band has a U-shaped back (great if you need extra support) as well as a 3-column, 2-row coated metal hook-and-eye closure.

The straps are fully adjustable, scalloped elastic, and have a slight sheen to them. There's a dainty bow detail that connects the straps to the cup. I found the straps to be perfectly comfortable.

All in all, I just can't deal with the flattening effect it has on me in a t-shirt, and it isn't "special" enough to keep otherwise. I imagine it's a shape mismatch causing the confusion. I have tall+wide roots, average projection, and even all over breasts. If someone had round, full-on-bottom, east/west breasts, I'd recommend this to them in a second though -- especially if they didn't mind having to break it in.
