Got this bra on a clearance/final sale, so didn't pay much for it. I generally have low expectations for final sale items as there is always a good reason retailers have to take such deep markdowns. However, sometimes you get a great score, so I gambled.

Anyway, about the bra. The fabric is a firm knit jersey in ivory with tiny black polka dots. There is a black lace edging at the top of the cups. The straps are wide and very close set in from the shoulders, which feel very secure. They are fully adjustable.

The band is firm, but seems true to size for a 32. It has ... a U-back and 3 rows of hooks x 4 columns.

About the cups. Well, as someone in another review said, this is a bra you wouldn't want your SO to see you in. The cups are very long and give a splayed, torpedo-ish, downward appearance. Very unflattering and not very supportive.

Having nothing to lose, I decided some bra surgery was in order, so I reduced the upper part of the cup to make it wearable. I took out about an inch of fabric at the apex, tapering at the sides. It still gives an east-west-ish look, or maybe a more omega shape now. The cups are more rounded and less bullet-y this way. Album is here: http://bra.pe/YBue/

Overall, I'm going to count this as a win. I wore it today to do some housework that required a lot of reaching, bending, twisting, etc and it definitely held me in place.

Me: short & narrow roots, center full, close set, pendulous, petite, short waisted, low set, fairly even fullness, narrow shoulders, soft.

This fits on the small side all around. Usually a 28GG, wearing a 32G and it's pretty spot on. I could potentially go down to a 30G if it came in that size, as I wear it on the second hook in from the loosest and the smaller cup size might add a bit more compression to my bust.

I wear this exclusively with the j-hook fastened as without, it doesn't give as much support as I'd like.

Pretty impressive for a non-wired sports bra to go up to a K cup, although with it coming up on the smaller side I'd say its more like a J/JJ cup depending on your breast shape (if you're not as full or firm as I am, you might get away with your usual cup size!). I wear this regularly for HIIT and running and get minimal bounce, comparable to my Panache sports bras. The fabrics are soft, seams aren't scratchy, and I like the thick underband and higher neckline.
