Holy stretchy band, Batman.
So, I love the pretty purple color this bra comes in. I love that I can wear my low-cut shirts again. But the very first thing I noticed is how stretchy the band is. I almost feel like I could have gotten away with ordering a 34HH instead of a 36H, it's that's stretchy. This gives me worries about how long the bra will last me, especially as I've been losing weight.
Beyond that: the lace on the cups does a good job at holding things in place, though it bothers me a bit that even that still covers SO MUCH of my breasts. I've ... become used to bras with such high gores that this one felt a bit weird at first, but today it feels fine. The straps are a bit wider than Elomi Caitlyn Underwire Side Support (8030) - one thing I love about that bra is that the straps don't feel like they're going to slide off my shoulders at any second, like my Panaches do (and I have wide shoulders), but Jocelyn's straps still aren't as wide as those bras, so it doesn't bother me much.
It is very, very comfy to wear (partly because of the super-stretchy band I'm sure), though I'm also starting to feel like my roots are probably not as wide as I had initially thought, or possibly that my breasts have changed some since I started wearing properly-fitting bras.
I do like this bra a lot though, and there is little in the way of plunges in this size range, so I'll take it. If the stretchy band causes it to wear out faster...well, I only paid $20 for it, so whatever.
