This is my go-to bra for really long days or traveling. I was psyched to find it on clearance at Nordstrom Rack. It doesn't show through thin, dark shirts at all - hallelujah. It's simple, comfy, and I know it won't start itching or stabbing after 14 hours of wear. It doesn't lift like my Cleo or Comexim, and the wires slip a little out of my IMF, but the guaranteed comfort is worth it some days.
The cups are molded but don't have additional padding. The wires aren't too wide and the cups aren't too tall, and the gore is super low. I love that this bra doesn't have wires up between my breasts as I don't have a ton of room there. It might be a problem for people who need more structure to keep their boobs from escaping, but mine stay put.
Update: After 2 months, it's pretty stretched out. I'm keeping it as a back-up, but will wear it infrequently so I don't go through all the rows of hooks right away.
I was looking for a really heavily padded push-up bra; a "add 2 cups" bra. This bra, the DKNY, is what I settled on.
The size is not perfect, but it is very comfortable and gives me the effect I was looking for. The band is a bit too big (can already comfortably use the 3rd hooks) and the cups cut in just a bit at the top, giving the slightest quad boob effect if I am standing perfectly strait up. It's not a problem in a relaxed stance or leaning.
Overall I am very happy with the bra. The fit is not as great as the VS Bombshell that I tried in a 32DDD, but it's fine for the occasional wear I need and 1/2 the price!
This is a push-up bra, padded but not with push-up pad inserts (if that makes sense). Its a very pretty bra and I had high hopes for this one. The band feels pretty good, a smaller band could fit quite nicely. The cups are too small. Even though I don't get quad boob, the gore refuses to tack and if I push it in I do get quad boob. This would probably fit in a 34E/F or 32F/FF. It gives me a slight east-west direction and despite how adorable the bra is I'm not quite sold on it (cleavage wise, I get far more cleavage in the Delphi even though it also does not fit).
