This is a typical, full coverage T-shirt bra, but it's not too plain because the cups are covered with a lace fabric.
My only complaint is that the band is really stretchy for a 30, so the support isn't too good.
Cups feel true to size.
I will be altering this one down a bit in the band.

Fits my full on top breasts very well, reasonably shallow on bottom. Comfortable on, the thin material (this is a non-padded bra) stretches out a bit but that helped the fit for me so no complaints. Very pretty

Slightly large in the cup.

It doesn't fit me well at all... The biggest issue for me is that the straps keep falling down (and as my size is supposed to be a 28DD/E or a 30D/DD, that is not surprising). But I also have the problem that the cups seem to be only halfway filled on the top. Definitely not a good match for my breast type (which I think is projected, full on bottom).

This was the first bra I brought after discovering my proper size, I got it preloved from Ebay for less that a fiver, as I wasn't quite convinced by my measurements. I have since grown out of it.
Right from the start there were problems, the band felt the same as my old 34s and was far too loose even on the tightest hook, I don't know if that was because it was second hand, but to be honest I think even brand new I would have needed to go down a couple of sizes. Then there was the back fat... Now I have back bulges ... with every single bra I own and have ever tried on, but this was really, really bad, not only did it look like someone had stuffed a couple of large sausages down the back of my top, my back upper armpit/lat muffin top was quite astonishing, This was caused by wings/back not being wide enough for me and by the thick elastic on the top and bottom of them digging in to my back, the single layer of mesh fabric in the middle of the wings is not sturdy enough to reign in the resulting bulges. This is a problem I have with a lot of bras regardless of the band size or placement on my back.
My next problem was the shape, although the cups fit they made me very pointy, so much so that I was paranoid that people were staring at my boobs when I went out, and there were definitely some armpit bulges that kept escaping, but again I have yet to find a bra in any size that I don't have that problem with.
Surprisingly given the fit issues this bra was very comfortable, especially as I had been wearing the wrong cup size for the last 20 odd years, I ended up keeping it and wearing it around the house until I grew out of it, although the band obviously was too loose to begin with it didn't seem to stretch out any more, the bra also survived regular machine washing and tumble drying with no obvious ill effects, (not something I recommend). Given the poor fit there is no way I would have paid full price for this bra.

This is a set of two tshirt bras from Debenhams. I never actually wore it, just tried them around the house after getting them. I should have got a larger cup size from the beginning, so they've been lying around in my closet for quite a while.
I'm not sure if I should create two separate entries for these two bras, the measurements are identical.
One bra is black, one dark emerald green. The fabric is very soft, and the cups are lightly padded. The construction is good and the shape they give is nice and round. I had some other tshirt bras from Debenhams, and have been quite happy with how they are in the long run.

Looks: Overall, meh. I like the lace's unusual pattern, but I think it looks a too much like an old lady would wear it.
Feel: This bra doesn't feel particularly soft or particularly rough.
Shape: Horrid. Round at the bottom, then more naturally pointy at the top. A combination that just doesn't work.
Other Features:
In-built side-support panel which made the bottom half the bra have a nice shape.
Straps: Too far apart, even after I shortened the bra. I wanted to tighten them so the bra could actually lift but it was simply impossible as it would just make the bra cut into my armpits. They are fully adjustable.
Fit:
Central gore lightly ... tacks. The wires were too wide. I had orange in a glass.
Overall:
Just meh. Not suitable for full on top, because of the strange difference in shape from the top and bottom halves. I bent the wires so it's less uncomfortable. As usual, I spill slightly out of one side. I'm keep this bra too wear under many layers of clothes to hide the horrible shape. Sizing up may help with the shape as it similar to the one caused by too small Curvy Kate bras.

This bra is extremely comfortable and appears durable and well-made. The elastic and straps are wide enough that they don't cut into the skin (though I am left with painless imprints on the side of my ribcage after wearing it all day). The cups are lightly lined. Everything fits perfectly on the loosest hook.

This is a good t shirt bra for those who don't like to wear balconettes as everyday bras, it is a bit more plungey. The mesh pattern is quite subtle and can't really be seen under clothes unless someone is looking way too closely.
The band and cups seem true to size, with average to slightly wide wires and a firm band. The straps are only half adjustable, but are fine for me and shorter than most half-adjustable straps.
I wish it had a 3 hook fastening, as I do with most bras but on the whole it is a good, affordable everyday bra.

This was the first bra that I ordered from the Internet. It fits perfectly! I wear the size 32H in Freya (not the deco, but in the non padded balconettes), so I was insecure if the size would fit me, but it did!
In Curvy Kate I use a 32jj (non padded balconettes), and they dont fit me at all.
The band is looser than in Freya and Curvy Kate, but I dont think I would go in a size, even if I could...It fits on the loosest hook, and the fabric around the waist is a bit hard, but the fabric in the cup is loose on top, so if you have soft boobs on top, this bra fits very well.

My first foray into better fitting bras. From a 36 A/B to this, a 32D. Having tried many bras recently, I bought this one. It is really comfortable so far, very pretty, and gives a nice shape. I'd have liked to try a 30DD but the range doesn't extend to that size. The moulded balconette cups are just about right, although I'm realising that my 'perfect' bra would be cut even lower, almost horizontally across the top, to better suit the shape of my small breasts which are fuller on the bottom than on the top. This has very slight gaping on the top when I move because of my lack of fullness there. However, nothing that bothers me greatly, and a big improvement from my previous bras.
Overall I'm very happy with this. Have to see how it stands up to some wear, as it's new.

This a great t shirt bra for under light coloured t shirts, and gives a bit of cleavage without being over the top.
The band is pretty standard for a 30, the cups are a bit tall for me at the sides and dig into my underarms when I tighten the straps to where I need them.
This bra has never really fit me, but I imagine it would be a much better fit on someone whose shape suited it .

Gorgeous bra, but the wrong size for me. As a 28FF, this is one of my prior wrong sizes. The band, unstretched, is actually larger than my ribcage. This never fit me. It's heavily padded/pushup, and is a great retro pinup style, just not for my size.

I am not really sure how this fits. At first thought it was a bit big, but not sure. I previously owned the 28ff of a similar Debenhams style which was way too small so thought this would work. However it just felt really high and uncomfortable under the arms (I am only about 5ft 2 so this might be why bras are often really high on me). I also didn't feel like it really lifted my breasts, but rather just encased them (hope this makes sense?). I decided not to keep this.

Very comfy! But I think I'm either between cup sizes or this one runs a litttttle big.
Band is true (just about; it'll stretch out in no time) and cup is a little big?
PRO
Satiny Straps are comfy and don't dig in at the sides
Overall very very comfy
CON
Cup padding is quite chunky; makes me feel a lot bigger than I am.
Straps are ruched, which may show up oddly under clothing.
Very wide set, even for me. I'd feel happier taking in the central gore a little, just to tighten it up.
Feels like no support. It's there, I just don't 'feel' the support.
THE REST
The elastic is very stretchy; you might be happier ... going down a band size. You could argue that the reason why it's so comfy is the lack of support. But even though all of the 'correct bra' signs are there, I still feel... wobbly in it. Could be the cut/style of the bra.
(Bra appearance; eh, this floral pattern isn't my thing. And I managed to get the one bra that has a twisted threaded ribbon decoration!)
You could be right, I don't quite know.

Pretty bra, very sheer and see through. I suspect it might not be as supportive as I really need, especially as the band is a bit loose (wearing it on the tightest hook from day one)

Comfortable, looks good but the cups are too big and the band is too big
