This is a really good unmoulded bra! It has flexible wires, conforms to my root breadth and spacing, and very tall cups. This is a great bra if you have tall roots and average projection. My right boob is a little bigger than my left boob and the right cup fits perfectly. My left boob is shallower and has less bottom fullness and immediate projection so there is a tad bit of wrinkling. However, I like my bras to fit perfectly on my bigger boob so this bra is a 10/10.
I love the looks of this bra! It looks great on you.
Gorgeous!!
I love the curve and transition of the cups to the straps! It almost forms a heart , or at least the bottom of the perfect shaped heart that ends on top behind the neck..... It's perfect & looks great on you!! :)
Awful fit, although comfortable. The cups run 1 size too large and it is immediately too shallow while too projected at the apex. If your size is 30DD and you have a very conical shape this might work.
oh wow that is terrible! It looks like they copied the shape of classic midcentury-style retro pointy bra cups... inappropriately scaled down from a larger cup volume completely ignoring the differences in typical breast shape across size ranges... and then set the cups wayyyy on the sides of the body for good measure whereas the conical shape of the old wireless bras was made to fit very centered.
I really wish that I had liked this bra, since it gave me an amazing shape. However, despite what the name would suggest, this is a padded push up bra, and I despise padded bras with a deep passion. There's definitely a full inch of padding at the bottom of the cup, so this is a no go for me.
I ordered three of these from Nordstrom Rack as they were a good price. I am pleased that all 3 of them measure and fit quite consistently. I've found consistency to be a pretty good point in On Gossamer bras from other styles as well.
This ...style gives a really nice plunge push up shape, as the name suggests. I really like the little V at the center gore, it adds something that your average molded cup bra doesn't have. It's also a full band construction, which I prefer. The band measures nice and snug and fits comfortably.
However, other than the padding not being for me (or clearly stated in the name), there are two issues with the bra that I want to point out. The main concern is that the bra is made from 100% nylon mesh, so there is no spandex/elastane in the fiber. That means all of the stretch is mechanical stretch from mesh supported by the elastic. Given that nylon is not super sturdy and there's nothing to give the fibers recovery, I would suspect that the longevity of these bras is not good.
The second issue is that this bra isn't designed for support. The elastic used in the band is rather thin, as are the straps, so the elastic will also most likely wear out quickly. I could already tell that the brand new bra didn't give much support other than the thick foam cups holding me up. Over time, this will certainly degrade more than other bras. The styling is beautiful and delicate, with lace trim and an interesting paneled design on the wings. The straps give a doubled satin effect based on the novelty elastic used. However, like many bras on the market, this bra is designed to look pretty for a short period of time, rather than be supportive and hold up over time. It's cheap and cheerful and gives a nice shape, but that's about it. Read more 292 more words

This bra is very lightweight and comfortable. I'm not sure if t-shirt bras just work better for my shape or if they're just more forgiving of minor fit issues, but of my order of 5 bras from Amazon, this was the only one that fit the way I liked and the only t-shirt bra in the order.
The band is very stretchy and thus definitely too big, so I will be altering it (I'm just going to sew a running stitch along the elastic). The wires seem a tad too narrow, but the marks left by the bra say that it just skates by on the edge of ...my root.
The gore is made of several layers of soft mesh, so it's very comfortable and it can be easily twisted so that the cups sit in each other without being flipped inside out. (I like doing this for storage reasons. All my old ill-fitting bras could do this, which I miss.) There's a tiny edge of lace along the inside edge of the cup. I find that I always have to smooth it back down after swooping and scooping. The lace is comfy; I don't even notice it.
I really like the convertible nature of the straps and that there's an extra slot if you want wider straps or a wider racerback. The cups are lined with a mesh layer over it. Unlike the Natori Feathers, the mesh is part the cup. I only noticed that it was a separate layer when I saw that a hair had made its way underneath.
The cup cuts into me just the tiniest bit due to my tall roots, but it's very minor and fits great otherwise on my wide, shallow roots.
The OnGossamer tag was itchy sometimes, but it was pretty minor. The band itself is one bit stretchy mesh and looks rather fragile and easy to snag. It may not be; time will tell.
Update: I sewed a ribbon onto most of the bottom elastic, leaving maybe 1.25-ish inches left. The reduced stretch was something like 28.5 inches. It still felt way comfortable and easy to breathe in on the loosest hooks. The band is just that stretchy. I can't hook it tighter, which is good, but I can't imagine the band stretching out because there's basically nothing left to stretch out, it's so stretchy. The running stitches were no good; they popped in several places over the course of the day. The ribbon held up fine. Read more 306 more words
