After a long, grueling, and unsatisfactory fitting at Nordstrom's, they mailed me this bra (as they didn't have it in the store and the one the next size up was too loose in the band and not right in the cup).

It is very snug to get on, but the band fits well enough. Nothing pokes, boobs are contained.

However... after wearing it for some hours, I notice that the center boning starts to irritate my sternum, and later the wires start to irritate my ribs. I am left with red marks in these areas after wearing it all day. And, it is definitely one that needed ... breaking in. When I first put it on, I had to take it off after a couple minutes. Then I forced myself to wear it once, washed it, wore it again under some duress, and then it was reasonably fine.

It is not my #1 go-to bra because of the comfort issues, but I do wear it.

It's attractive, but if you have dark areolas or pokey nipples, they'll show through the lace.
