Mostly the same fit as my deep sea blue Feathers. The band on this one was the stretchiest of the three Feathers, and I found myself using it on the middle hook straight off. Will definitely be taking a needle and thread to tighten the band a bit.

This fits a bit better on me than the 30D. The wires follow the bottom of my root perfectly, but end up a tad too wide on the side. It's not a bit deal; it's perfectly comfortable there. However, since it ends a bit too far back, I find that the front of the bra where the straps start dig into my armpit a bit. It's an easy fix by tugging the strap further up my shoulder, but a bit annoying otherwise.

I don't quite fill out the top of the cups super well, but the mesh does a pretty good job of hiding it. The 30DD is ... still a tiny bit too shallow at the bottom, but it's barely noticeable. The band felt tight at first (which was great, since my underbust is 27.5"), but at the end of the day, it had loosened enough that taking deep breathes wasn't a problem at all, and it was clear that the band had ridden up a little during the day. I may take a needle and thread to it at some point.

I found it interesting that all three of my Natori feathers (this, 30D, 30DD nude) had different lace patterns on the band. The 30D had the prettiest lace, but the deep sea blue color is gorgeous and really is my favorite.

Super comfortable. Almost a perfect fit, but the cups seem to be just the slightest bit too shallow for me, as I have a bit of space right above the underwire. The band runs tight, which is excellent as I'm technically a 28-band. General consensus to go up a cup seems to be true; unfortunately, this totally slipped my mind when I bought it.

When I compared it to a 30DD, I realized that the mesh was hiding a tiny bit of quadboobing. The mesh is really quite good at hiding minor fit issues like that. Both were comfy, but ultimately I decided that the 30DD fit me better. I returned this one.

Appeared to fit at first but after wearing it once, it was clear it only fit if I didn't move at all. The band runs small (good for me as a 27), so this bra should be thought of as more a 28. The wires are wide set and cut into breast tissue near the sternum. The slight padding comes up high in this size, and the straps are set pretty wide for my narrow shoulders, so if I slouch at all, the cups gape at the top, and the straps cut in if I move my arms far forward. Decided to return it. The DD was *a lot* smaller, and the lace part pulled strangely.

I decided to give this bra a shot, since I heard it's good for shallow, wide-rooted boobs. I have to agree, it fits pretty well, and it's quite comfortable. I'm always happy to find a nude plunge that fits.

Pros: The cups fit perfectly – no quadboob or gapping at the top. The straps seem slightly more narrowly set than most DD+ bras, which I'm quite happy about.

Cons: Though the band fits, it is a little loose. I wish they made 28" bands. I'm personally not into the whole lace thing. It makes me worry about the lace snagging. Also, the construction of the bra is a little weird to me. Along the top edge, the mesh overlay isn't completely attached to the cups.

Given the visual similarities to Natori Feathers Contour Plunge (730023) I thought the fit would also be great. However, the band on this bra is a layer of lace over a layer of mesh, which gives it a much firmer and tighter band.

On me, the extra pressure warped the molded cups so that they flattened along the underwire and billowed along the top. A 32DD probably would have fit better since my ideal size is closer to 30DD. (I'm just not ready to go directly to that snug of a band after spending 20 years wearing 34s!)

Luckily, an extender made the bra serviceable under scrubs; not sure I would wear it under anything fitted.

I love this bra! It's so comfy and feels light as air!

This bra is so comfortable! It's made out of "memory contour padding." The only bad part is that the memory padding remembers wrinkles too. This is a shallow bra, which would be great for my shallow breasts, except I'm FOB so I get wrinkles at the top of the cup from not filling the top and wrinkles on the bottom from filling it too well. Sometimes the underwires end up sitting a tad too high at the end of the day, due to the bra not being projected enough on the bottom. All that being said, my breasts are very difficult to fit and this bra is good enough. Under clothing, I don't have as perky an appearance as with some other bras, but the wrinkles aren't visible.

Soooo, this bra is amazing. Very flattering and comfortable. I think I may try it in a different size though. I tried it on at Bloomingdale's a while ago in a 32B and the fit was great except for the fact that I was already on the tightest hook, so I ordered it from Natori in 30C. As expected, the band is tighter and the cups are slightly narrower/closer, but not to the point where it doesn't work. I kind of liked the slightly wider spacing (and less back fact haha) of the 32B, but also I think the cups were a little ... deeper. Or maybe the width just made up for it. The 30C fits perfectly on my smaller (right) breast, but I just realized that it's actually slightly too small on my left side. I mean it looks fine and is definitely a great bra for uneven, small, shallow breasts, but I noticed that there is a bit of a gap between the bottom inside of my left breast and the bra and there isn't on the smaller side. When I tighten the strap to make it flush with the bra, I quadboob. I think I'm going to try it in a 30D and a 32B and see if either of those are a bit better. That said it's not a noticeable issue if you're not me, and wow is it comfortable and pretty. The price is higher than I'd usually pay for a bra, but completely worth it. Only downside for me is that it doesn't work with the spaghetti strap tanks I wear, generally under sweaters/sweatshirts but still, on an almost daily basis. But this bra is so awesome that it's making me wanna update the rest of my wardrobe to accommodate it haha.

The best part of this bra is the band is a little wider and provides band support. This relieves pressure on the straps and the bra feels like it is floating instead of hanging. The band has a lace detail that is pretty so the wider width is attractive.

The bra is 69% cotton. This is a plus for me in the summer months.

This is a good basic bra and looks good under fitted t-shirts.

Band fits but is snug. Couldn't decide between this size and a 32 DD. I'd like to try 30 in a larger cup, a G?

My first well fitting bra. I fit just as well in the 30 DDD, but band was a bit tight. I chose the 32DD but I can wear it on the middle or tightest hooks so I hope it doesn't stretch too quickly. I learned Demi's fit better than full cups. It is so pretty with the sheer part on the tops of the cups.

Nice, tight band, enough space in the cups (I sized up in the cups.) Shoulder straps are not adjustable and I need a shorter strap by about an inch. It caused the band to ride down during the workout and dig into my rib flare.

In the eternal quest for a t-shirt bra that matches my skin tone, I tried this as a sister size to my usual 28E.
Unfortunately, I found the band rode up even on the tightest hook. Because the band wasn't really tight enough, I felt unsupported and slightly splayed in this bra.

Size note: I have a tight underbust measurement of 27" and a snug measurement of 25". With those numbers, a 30 band is practically +4 sizing. If you have my measurements and like a snug band, you'll probably need a Rixie clip to make it work.

Even though I'm wearing a 32G, a 32DDD still fits very well! The cups are very forgiving! In most reviews, it was said that it ran small, but I havent found that to be true for me. It runs pretty true to size, when i was at a 32DDD, and now that ive increased in cup, id say it still fits really well because of how the cups are made.

I dont care for the straps. they're too thin and rough feeling.

Fit me terribly but in the correct size would have been fantastic

Really good support, but haven't tried running in it. Lots of fabric; might be hot in the summer. Boobs look great under a tee: no uniboob. Feels tight at first but stretches after the first wear.

Band is super tight, gives nice cleavage. Downside: does the bottom of the cup gap like my other bras, but this time closer to the center gore, making it feel like the center gore is too low. But for $12 from TJ Maxx, I'm not complaining.

I bought this bra in a rush, because I didn't have any bras that fit and it was the only one anywhere near my size at the local Nordstrom Rack. It's a 32G (US sizing) and I usually wear a 30GG (UK sizing). As such, this bra should be too small in the cups... but it actually fits really well. The gore doesn't quite tack, but that's because my breasts are too close together, not because the cups are too small or too shallow. In fact, the Natori Truly Smooth is currently my best-fitting bra.

The color, Cloud, is a pretty powder blue. The straps are convertible, which is ... a nice feature, although they are tricky to manage (like the straps of most convertible bras). They can be unhooked at the back, near the band, and crossed over each other to make the bra suitable under a racerback shirt. The "truly smooth" part of the name refers to the bottom of the band. It goes down a bit longer than bra bands usually do, though not as long as a longline bra would, with a sort of thin elastic-lace piece of fabric. This is actually the worst-designed bit of the bra, for me. I think it's supposed to create a smooth line under clothes. Instead, it just rides up and curls over itself. It's not uncomfortable and it doesn't show under clothes, but I still wish the bra just had a normal band. This aspect might work better in a smaller cup size, or on someone with a longer torso than I do. I'm 5'3", however, so the bottom of the bra band hits about at the bottom of my ribcage. Because my ribs stick out a bit, they may be pushing the bottom of the band up and causing it to curl.

I've had this bra for five months now, and I've only just had to move it from the loosest to the next-loosest hooks. This is especially notable because I bought the bra in a 32-band, when I usually wear 30-bands, and it was still tight enough, at first, to be very supportive on the loosest hooks.

Love the fact that there is padding in the bottom outer quadrant of the cups - usually a hard to fill area for me! I am quadboobing slightly after swoop and scoop, but not enough to be super noticeable under clothing. I would defintely prefer this in a 34GG though. Love the plunge. Super stretchy band is comfortable even through bloat/breastfeeding.
