Beautiful bra and perfect for t-shirts. Very smooth front. However, wire length is to long and made for a broad shoulders.

I had bought this one hoping the spacer cup fabric and racerback J-hook would be a nice option for summer use. Turns out #1: the wires are too long, #2: the gore is too tall, #3: the outer cups are too tall, #4: the straps are not long enough (but only when hooked in the racerback position).
* Because the spacer cup fabric has so little structure to it, support is solely relied on from the wire and band, whereby the wires will be quite firm and the gore will be tall. The same holds true for this one.
* ...and because the cups have so little structure, they give ... a very minimized shape. However, unlike other spacer cup bras I've tried, these cups do provide nice lift and natural, rounded shape.
* Ironically, the wires are the perfect width for me. They sit very nicely in my IMF, despite the fact they're too long. However, even as long as they are, they're still a full inch shorter than the wire channel. So it's not just the wires that are too long, but the outer cups are also too tall. So even with the straps in standard position, the cups rub into the Tail of Spence. And it's absolutely unbearable with the J-hook connected.
* Just to clarify about the straps, the length is fine when in standard position. But once hooked, the straps cut painfully into the back of my neck. And unfortunately, lowering the J-hook did not solve that.
* As for placement of the front straps, they are definitely set too far apart. When I stand straight, the cups lay flat and fit very nicely. But as soon as I move my shoulders forward, the cups gape terribly.
* A quick mention of the band...double layer mesh, with flocked elastic and a U-shaped back. The height is basically the same from the wire to the straps.
* And lastly, the hooks and eyes are 2x3 narrow-set, mounted into a thin tab. Also, the length of the tab nicely covers the loosest set of hooks, so there's no chafing.

The bra will work as a t-shirt bra but it won't conceal nipples, they still show through. I tried this bra as it commonly recommended for full on bottom, projected shaped but I found it did not have enough immediate projection at the wire for me.

I love this bra! But it's not a match for me.
This is a 32GG but I had to use an extender to even fasten it; it would only stretch to 30.5 before distorting wires. Perhaps due to the black dye. I'd consider a 34, but unsure what cup to try due to the cup size here.
So, the cups are way too tall on me and quite wide at the top. I had to cinch the straps as tight as they'd go (and I'm short) to get it seated right. I LOVE the projection at the wire, especially for something with spacer foam. But I just couldn't take the big cups. I'm full on bottom (at least functionally) so this was not a fit.
Oh and it had great middle projection at the gore, too!Black colorway

This is the most projection I've found in a t-shirt bra, but it still wasn't right for me. Gaping at the top, quadding in the center. Comfortable but just not the right shape for me.

Good bra for non close set, wide, projected, FOB (?) boobs. Was trying to find my right size, this is a bit too big.

I think this bra fits really excellently, however it is very stiff! I do not find it that comfortable for all-day wear, but it is my best fitting bra by far. The material of the cup is almost like a memory foam. I have basically no visible nipples (they're pretty much flat) but somehow this fabric makes my nipples look more prominent!? The boning and wire is very strong and really holds in place. Nice and smooth under clothes.

Nice option with hooks on the back for racerback; helped pull straps in for very narrow shoulders. Fit my shape extremely well.

Fit was pretty good: band was firm but comfortable, good tack, good encapsulation. But the cut of the cups just doesn't seem to work for the specifics of my breast fullness. The top edge was cutting across my upper breast on the larger side, and in general I felt like I might fall out too easily when bending over (not saying my breasts would have actually fallen out, just that it gave me that overexposed feeling). Like many Panache bras, also gives me a sort of outward/downward pointing shape that I don't love.
J-hook adds some nice versatility, and helps compensate (for me) for the wide-set straps which aren't fantastic for my narrower shoulders. But even with the J-hook fastened, I couldn't get past the cup cut issues. Band was also thin and didn't feel super supportive, and I like a supportive band.Black colorway
