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).
