The Natori Feathers Wireless Convertible is a bra style I picked up randomly at Nordstrom Rack a while ago with the intention of wearing this at home as a lounge bralette. It's pretty easy to find these at Nordstrom Rack, and the price is always right, so I've picked up a few of these.
These come in split sizes, i.e. 30 B/C or 30 C/D. I can't say there's a huge difference between the two sizes, and I can fit into either of them, because this is essentially a bralette and is very forgiving. However, the main challenge to sizing is going to be the fact ... that these cups are extremely wide-set, and they have virtually no structure to hold you in as it's built like a very stretchy halter top with a convertible back option. If you're not careful, you will fall out of the cups because the panels will slip around. The 30 C/D's cups are spaced a little further apart than the 30 B/C.
Like all Natori bands, this one is very stretchy, but since it's a bralette, I don't expect it to provide much support. The cups themselves provide absolutely zero support, because the lace is super stretchy. It will not give you any shape, and if your breasts are droopy or pendulous at all, they will probably fold over a bit at the IMF because these cups aren't strong enough to lift you up. However, it's comfortable, and definitely feels and functions like a bralette.
My tip for anyone who has trouble falling out of these cups is to change the straps to cross over in the back. I cannot wear this style at all when the straps are conventional in size 30 C/D, but it stays in place pretty well when crossed. The size 30 B/C has smaller lace panels so I don't really have this problem, but the cups feel a bit too narrow for me, particularly the bottom channel where the underwire would normally go.
One note about the strap length is that they don't go very short, since it's designed to be convertible. The bra will actually fall off my shoulders if worn conventionally, because I can't shorten them any further in 30 C/D, and in 30 B/C I have them shortened the entire way. However, it's comfortable enough to sleep in, and the deep plunge in front does show off any cleavage, so it does have a little bit of sex appeal, even if the side profile isn't impressive.
Overall, this would be a good choice for those looking for a little more support than a standard bralette and can fit into typical Natori plunge styles. If Natori plunge bras don't typically work for you though because of your shape, then this wouldn't be a good choice.
Note: This bra is just two panels of fabric in the front, so it's impossible to measure a cup height since there's no separate cup and strap in front.
