Appearance & Construction
Fabric content: 66% polyester, 20% elastane, 14% nylon/polyamide. This bra is unlined with three-part cup construction. The cups are made from an opaque, printed, non-stretch material, with the upper section being embroidered, sheer, non-stretch mesh. The embroidery can show through a bit on fitted tops. The wings are a slightly sheer, printed, stretch mesh. The straps are made of a thick, opaque, stretch material, with the print continued on the front half of the straps and the back made of a thick white fabric with criss-cross stitching. The straps can be shortened past the point where the print starts. ... The Lollipop color has a white background with raspberry colored bow print. The raspberry color is deep and bright, not at all neon. There are satin ribbon bows at the center gore and where the straps meet the cups. The bows are pale purple with white polka dots. The back fastens with two rows of three hook-and-eye closures.
Fit
This bra was a bit too loose in the band on the tightest hook (expected), but the center gore did lay flat. There was a slight amount of bulging (quad-boob) on the left side (my larger side), but the cup didn't appear to be cutting into my breast tissue. The right side seemed to fit well. I didn't notice any gaps or puckering, and the top mesh section laid flat without cutting in or gaping. The shape was pointy, but shortening the straps helped reduce the issue somewhat. The shape was also a little droopy, but tightening the band and straps helped with that as well. Wearing a correctly-fitting band may help with these issues. My underbust is 31.5 inches when measured very tightly, so a 32 or possibly even 30 band would be a better fit for me. (This bra was on sale with limited sizes when I purchased it, or else I would have gotten a smaller band in the first place.) The material was soft and smooth, and the bra overall seemed comfortable except for the straps cutting into the front of my armpits a little (a common issue for me).
