This bra model felt right, though not perfect, even in the incorrect sizes, so I knew I would eventually narrow it down to the right size. This just works for my small, shallow, widely spaced, wide roots shape. It is a good every day bra though the lace is not invisible under thin fabrics such as silk or fine gauge knits.

I tried this one based on the Bratabase Recommendations, although I sized down in the band from the 34 to a 32. It was a little snug, but not uncomfortably so. The problem I had with this one was the cup is too shallow and sits well below my IMF. The cup width is OK under the arms, but the front of the cup is very open and stops short of wrapping around, lacking support in the center. So even though it doesn't quad on me, it ends up flattening the breasts out into ovals instead of a nice rounded shape; kind of odd looking. I ... doubt the next cup size up would fix that, since the width of the cup would also increase, which is not what I need. However, even though the cup is too open, the low gore on this is wonderful for my close-set breasts!
As for appearance, it's very pretty. I really like the floral print on the mesh overlay. However, I find the lace is very scratchy. It's not as noticeable around the cup, but VERY noticeable on the band. If it had a mesh lining on the inside it would be fine. This particular bra also arrived with a significant crease in the overlaid mesh on one of the cups, as it wasn't stretched properly around the underwire when it was attached to the molded cup.

I love how this bra fits. I feel secure without being confined. I appreciate the soft cups over a molded cup for sure. The lace can be a tiny bit itchy on my back but it is definitely not a deal breaker.

one of my favorite bras. Fits comfortably, and is perfect for plunge shirts/dresses. Only issue is that the lace easily shows through thin fabrics, and the lace on the straps goes up pretty high, so I can't wear this bra with tank-tops or wide cut shirts/dresses. Overall I would recommend!

This is one of those bras that isn't a technically good fit - but I love & wear it anyway!

I purchased the Feathers in 34DDD/E. The band is very stretchy; if you prefer a snugger band, size down. My breasts are wide-set with average projection and average to tall roots with very firm tissue due to implants (post-reconstruction). Since this bra is more shallow, I do experience some wrinkling (collapsing?) of the cup at the bottom near the wire. It is not visible under clothing so I'm not even mad, LOL.

Overall, I find this bra very comfortable and keeps the girls front and center with very little effort. The wire length is perfect. I love the Feathers plunge so much I already have 2 and plan to get a few more colors!

Short roots, projected, slightly narrow, close set, center full, omega shaped, even breasts....

I couldn't resist one last trial to find a wired bra that doesn't cause pain. Like the other Feathers I've owned, this is lightweight and effortless to wear. This is the one gore I've found in 158+ bras that doesn't sit on my breasts along the length of the gore and along the base of the cup. The only one!

Although the wider wire, low gore, soft materials, and simple design work well for me, the shallow cup does not. And, because I finally began trying wireless bras, I'm so happy and comfortable now, I have no need for wires.

Singing Natori Feathers praises loudly, but this bra just won't work for me.

EDIT: This bra, like many others, may fit perfectly if the cups were each shifted .25" toward the center. The cup appears to collapse because the center of my breast is not positioned in the center of the cup. Hmmm....

The 34D band is too big for me. I have tried multiple sizes and have decided that the shape is not a good match for me. The bra is too shallow and I need more immediate projection for a good fit.
Pros: Comfortable for everyday wear, low center gore works well with a variety of clothing

I'm not very happy with this bra. At first, when I tried it on in the fitting room, it seemed fine. Maybe that was just the hope talking, but it seemed fine. Flash foward to wearing it at home, not so fine. First I'll describe my boobs, then get into what worked and what didn't. But to be fair, I will say the bra helper at the store told me at least twice (maybe three?) that one of the other bras fit me better, which maybe should have been the bra I should have bought, but now I'll never know (until, and if, I get the time and ... money to go buy that other bra, which is unlikely)

My boobs, for a lack of a better term are tricky. They are tricky in the fact that they're tricky to please. They are wide rooted, full on the bottom, low on the chest, and are somewhat shallow. It most places I'm a 34b or 32c (and even a d in some places, like nordstrom) My band size is __ and band cup size is ___. I also have wide shoulders. Another thing I'll say is that I'm sensitive to textures and pressure, and have nerve issues with my brachial plexus, which I'm starting to realize means no plain straps, only racer backs (so the strap doesn't fall on my brachial plexus and artery, which is another thing: I have circulation issues and back/shoulder issues too... probably from wearing crappy bras for almost 2 decades now) So with that in mind, here's what worked and what didn't:

What worked: the cups, hallelujah, the cups! they fit me almost EXACTLY. the wire didn't poke anywhere, and covered the side of my wide root boob too. the gore was great, and lie flat and wasn't too itchy, pokey, or anything, really. Since im east/west, the demi covered my nips, which was also great, and the bra made me stand up just the taddest bit straighter. Also, my boobs look hella fine in them which made me feel like a godess for like, aproximately 10 minutes. But that's basically where the pluses end.

what didn't work: strapps!! they BARELY adjusted to my length, and they were REALLY WIDE, even though i feel i already have pretty wide shoulders for my body! The straps ended up sitting on/digging into my brachial plexus and giving me numbness and tingling in my arms and hands(which I already have problems with, I don't want to scare anyone off. its just something I struggle with, so if you do too, and are similar to me, I wouldn't recommend this bra.) and if I tightened them, they gave be shoulder pain/back pain and dug into my shoulders. another thing, this bra was mega tight! the wire under my boobs stayed in place, but almost at the cost of my chest breathing (which I admit, breathing from your chest and not your stomach is unhealthy, but sometimes a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, and this bra was having none of it). It was also reall itchy on the sides, which, I don't mind that as much, if it fits, but in combination with everything else, I just could not. Finally, to top it all off, it seems to be made pretty cheaply. The top screen/messh fabric on the top part of the cup is only attatched to the cup on the sides, not the whole thing, which might be good for adjusting your boobs into the cup, but it also could get torn up pretty easily.

And on top of it all, I'm not sure I can even return this because its a sales item? I was going to ask the clerk, but got caught up in the moment. :/ If I can though, I will definitely return it.

all in all, I'd give this bra a 3/5
bra fitting experience though, 4/5 because nordstrom seems to be were its at, man

Really liked this bra, but the lace was too scratchy and irritated my skin. Couldn't wait to get it off. A bit high in the armpit, but nice and smooth overall.
