This is my first bra that is my proper size (and not a 34A I'm trying to squish myself into). I think the band is a little stretchier than I would prefer, even on the tightest hook. I love the wide wires, as I have a wide base. I can tell this bra won't give me a boob-ache like my old bras. I can actually get this bra's straps and bands tight enough to support my boobs without it riding up or digging into my tissue.
Pros: Gore tacks and does not dig into my sternum. Wire doesn't dig into armpit.
The only con is that there is a strange little uncomfortable stitching right where the left band attaches to the cup. It's not happening on my right boob, so maybe it's due to my left/right being different sizes.
Edit - after months and months of wear, I can confirm that the itching was temporary and went away within the first few washes.
