Overall this is my best fitting bra atm. The cups definitely come up too high for me but the material is soft and fairly forgiving so it’s not too awful. The length of the wires seems good but are slightly more U shaped than I am. I love that the band is a bit wider and has three hooks on the closures.

Edit: I originally said this bra was not molded, but it turns out that "molded" actually is the technically correct term. It is not molded in the traditional, foam cup sense that I usually think of when I hear the word; instead, it is made of a stretchy fabric that is seamless and pre-shaped like a bra cup. See comments below.
This runs HUGE for a 34DD. The cups are just about perfect for me, and I measure around 30GG. Unfortunately, though, at a stretched band length of 34 inches, the band is much too loose for me to provide adequate support for exercise. I think it could ... work well for someone around 34FF. The fabric is very stretchy, so if the width is right it might even work on a wide variety of sizes and levels of projection.
I put ~.9 inches for the strap width, but the strap width actually increases gradually as it reaches to the shoulders, which I think is meant to provide extra support.
If I can successfully alter the band, I might just keep this bra and not have to spend $70 on a new sports bra.
Edit: I shortened the band, and it feels great! The gore is floating a little bit at the top, so technically I guess it doesn't really "fit," but I think it's going to be good enough.
Edit May 1, 2016: I have lost a lot of weight and am now wearing 28F. I still wear this bra and prefer it over the Panache Sport by far. The gore now tacks, and even though the wires are much too wide, I don't feel them at all. This is a very forgiving, versatile bra, and I would definitely buy another in 32DDD so I don't have to alter the band as much.

Oh, interesting, I didn't know that. Guess I should remove that from the review then so I don't confuse anyone.
No I think it's helpful because a lot of people are confused by the terminology. "Seamless" is a more usual descriptor for this type of cup so other posters could easily make the same assumption as you.

Really wish I could fill the bottom of the bra! It's the only thing I didn't love about it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Super comfortable and soft fabric. Cups are lined buy not molded so the cups are soft. The fabric is so so very soft. The detail at the bottom of the cup make it pretty, but is placed so it doesn't show under clothing. This is easily an everyday bra. I probably could've done with a band size down and cup size up. The band is very stretchy and I need to wear it on the 2nd-3rd hook after only a few months wear.

Love this bra, smooth and comfortable. Nice lift without quad boob.

Cups are too small and shallow for me which makes my breasts (soft tissue) spill over in the center. I would probably just need a band size down and cup size up for a better it, unfortunately Natori doesn't carry that size. I wanted it to work because it's a very pretty plunge.

I wish I had found this sooner.

Got this for a friend in an exchange. Seems like a comfortable lounging bra or suitable for lighter exercise. Can't tell whether it is TTS or not, as it is absolutely too big for me all over.

From my pre weight loss and bra fitting days. Only got to wear it once or twice before sizing out but from what I remember I really liked this sports bra! Nice seperation so although it was supportive enough work working out, it didn't create the awful uni boob that so many sports bra do. Definitely not a compression style bra. Nice enough to be worn as an everyday bra under t shirts.

Very pretty, would be good for under thin shirts. I won't be wearing or keeping it as it is not a good size for me.

Overall this bra was a good start to getting into a size that actually fits. For years I had been wearing a 36C, until I was suffering from neck/upper back pain and stumbled upon the A Bra That Fits reddit. I plugged in my measurements and was a 32F(?!). I decided to try a sister size 34E (DDD US), as I thought a 32 band would be too tight. After reading through the shallow bra recommendations I headed over to amazon to order this bra.
In my excitement I mistakenly ordered a 34DD instead of a 34DDD. The cups are too small, and especially after a fresh swoop and ... scoop there is some quad boobage. It did give me great cleavage initially. This did not last long however, as some of the excess tissue escapes out of the side of the cup and sits under the band. The cups also seemed a little to close for me,which caused the underwire to slide down a bit on my ribcage when the boobs would try to return to their naturally separate state.
The band is firm but does provide stretch, and it feels true to size. The straps are fully adjustable, which is needed for a short gal like me. Color is bright red, and bra looks nicer in person than pictured. Lies smoothly under clothing, and works well with V neck tops.
Bottom line is that it is not a perfect fit due to the small/close set cups, but much better than anything else I have at the moment. I am a bit shallow, so I think that this bra would probably not work well at all with someone who had a lot a projection. Obviously, if I had gotten the correct size, I think the fit would have been much better.

I like this bra but I think I need a different size.
The band is firm (particularly in comparison to my Natori Sheer Jacquard Full Fit which is super stretchy). I'm between a 32 and a 34 and I would stick with the 34.
The cup is too small for me. I pillow out of it. And due to the low center gore, sometimes slide right out. It's definitely a plunge.
I kind of like the shape. The cup is something between molded and unlined. I might call it lightly molded. I'd say it is a good modest option.
The cup has two layers, the lightly molded lining, and then a lacy overlay which definitely does some of the supporting. I really like this overlay, it's feminine without being girly.
Would recommend, but be sure to get one with the right size cup.

I love the feel of this bra and it ALMOST fits. The band is too large, but the cup is only fractionally off-- I suspect that Natori's just don't work for me.

I'm pretty pleased with this bra. The straps have a little bit of cushion to them. The molded cups are fairly breathable even in 80+ degree weather

Oops, picked the wrong model. This review and all photos are for the sheer jacquard contour fit, #136059 - very similar, AFAICT, to the model I selected from the drop-down list - I like it. It's smooth under shirts, no itchy lace. It's a full cup so I have a few lower-cut tops that don't work with this bra. I've had it about 2 years it has stretched out a fair bit, so I'm going to tighten the band to get a bit more life out of it. Cost was $60.

Full coverage, nice shape, good support. Band started stretching pretty soon after purchase. Now (2 yrs from purchase) it's pretty well-stretched and I'm going to tighten the band to get more life from it. Paid $60 new.

This bra fits me terribly, so it's very uncomfortable, but I like it because it's pretty!

Good cup coverage. In perimenopause, tender breasts. Nordstroms sales woman suggested this bra. Does not fit as tight as i went up a band size. I bought three and love this bra. Well made and pretty. Center is not so high so it works with lower cut tops.

Molded does not refer to the cup material, it only means that the cups have been shaped by a molding process instead of using seams. Molded does not mean that the cups are necessarily foam or spacer material--they can also just be a single or double layer of fabric.
