I have a 28 inch rib cage, and so far I have found 30 inch bands the most comfortable. Because this bra is in theory a 32 inch band, I do have a few minor problems with it. Still, it is the second most comfortable bra I own, and arguably the best fitting.

That said, this bra does have a few issues. The base of the gore is slightly too wide, and the cup is loose and wrinkles slightly on the inside edge just above where the cup attaches to the gore. Also, originally the wires also dug into my sternum slightly, but that was easily fixed by bending ... the wires outward slightly.

I have shallow breasts with wide roots, so I need and appreciate this bra's relatively wide cups. However, when I first got this bra, the stiffness of the cup material and top of the wire channel chafed at my underarm. Luckily, this problem has completely abated after a couple hand washings.

My only other issue is that the straps are very wide set (again, may be related to band size, and I have very narrow shoulders). This means the straps stick out when I wear tank tops or sleeveless shirts. I have yet to find a comfortable bra that offers good support that does not have this strap placement problem.

All that said, this is a bra that started pretty good, and so far has gotten better with a little wash and wear, and without stretching noticeably (so far, at least). It's a good t-shirt bra, and a good plunge, which works well with the mostly fitted tops I wear over it (except for the strap visibility issues).

This isn't the correct size for me, but I wore it for a long time because I really like the wide separation of the cups - I have very separate boobs. The gore is also nice and low so it doesn't dig in. The wires go up high enough on the sides for me, but they could be angled a bit wider for a better fit. Overall, I quite liked this bra and wish they made it in my size - it gave a smooth appearance under clothes and rounded out my pointy boobs nicely. It also held up really well for the year or so that I wore it.

Really pretty bra, lovely color. The lace is nice. Cups are very smooth with just a bit of padding.

Doesn't quite encase my breasts. Get some spillage in the armpits/around the straps. Not quite wide enough or back far enough toward my side to get my whole root, it would probably be great for someone with a narrow root. Seems more close together on my chest than my breasts are.

It's just the slightest bit too closed in at the top for me. It's not really noticeable, I don't get quadboob. I can just feel it kind of trying to close in a bit where it shouldn't be. Not a huge issue, if it didn't have other fit issues I wouldn't mind it at all!

In general it's just crossing the line from "Good enough" to "Not good enough". My other Elle Macpherson bra isn't perfect either but it's slightly better than this one. Which is unfortunate because I like this one a whole lot better haha.
