Very stiff/structured cups. Will not fit wide roots. Band is extremely tight

November 2015:
Someone please take this away!! This bra is the result of my breasts getting larger last summer but I was broke and desperate for a new bra, so I went to Zovo Lingerie in Seattle (University District location) the ONLY location in the state of Washington that (kind of) sells 28 bands, and the sales rep was so impatient (I'm sorry it was a slow day, but you didn't have to take it out on me!) and their selection of 28E (my size at the time) SUCKED. I even called ahead and they're like "yeah we have a good selection!" They had a few 28E bras ... for FOB breasts, and then she just kept bringing me 30 bands. When I tried a stretchy Claudette bra, the elastic cut into my tissue at the top, and you know what the sales rep told me? "That's normal, it's supposed to do that." ......SAY WHAT???? Ok, sorry, this isn't a Yelp review, but I just can't help it because it was such a terrible experience for me... She did not care for fit, she just wanted to sell something expensive to me whether it fit or not. In comes this bra... I tried it on in 30DD, and while it fit everywhere else, it cut into my FOT breasts and this time wasn't taking sh*t for an answer, and told her that it fit wrong and shouldn't do that. So what does she do? Bring me the next cup size up. Sure, it didn't cut in on top, but it sat about an inch below my roots on the bottom and was too wide on the sides and too deep in the apex. I was so exhausted after trying on about 10 bras that didn't fit and her getting frustrated, when she said "no cutting in on top, that's a much better fit!" I didn't protest and just bought the stupid thing. It was like a crazy $70 or something (the mark up there is DEPLORABLE). They have a 7 day return policy, and after a few days I wanted to return it, but I literally had no other bras that weren't painfully small in the cups and I had no more money, so I just kept it. (Look, I understand that we weren't making progress, but it was NOT MY FAULT. She kept bringing me 30 bands and every time she came back and tried to say the bra looked good, she would get frustrated when I pointed out where it didn't actually fit. I never usd a "I'm better than you" tone, I was just being honest and didn't want to buy a bra that didn't fit just to please her. Sadly, I ended up doing just that.) The straps were way too long and only partially adjustable, so I had to wear it racerback all the time. The band was clearly too large, and despite that, ended up wearing out and stretching out really fast. There are no actual elastics, just seamless iron on stretchy stuff, so this bra has absolutely no support and broke down with a few washes. The band stretches a whopping 13 inches!!! To 36" long!!! This is more like a 34 band now.
I will NEVER be pressured into buying an ill-fitting bra ever again!! (I've had a poor experience at the Bellevue Square location too; lady said I should buy a $80 strapless 30-band bra to wear on the tightest hook for one event. Lol what??? These girls have some serious sales goals pressured on them! Sorry, I'm Yelp reviewing again https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />)

Basically, this bra sucks. Now it's definitely too small in the cups and still huge in the band and still too long in the straps. Also, it is very difficult to see, but this is the first bra I've ever had a floating gore. It's only about 1/8 of an inch, but it's there. I'm tempted to just trash it and use the wires, but I know that someone could use this as a comfy/casual bra. Other than the extreme stretchiness of the band, there are no stains, snags, or other signs of wear.

I am a shallow 32D. This bra fits me wonderfully - I just don't need another seamless dark bra right now. The shape is a true demi. Top of the cup lies nice and flush against the body. Band is fused instead of sewn, so it's very smooth and soft against the skin. Cool hardware on the straps. Straps detach in the back for racerback option.

I am loving this bra, the 32 band runs snug so I am able to wear it on the 2nd hook with no problem (I measure 28 underbust) and the fabric is pretty rigid so it shouldn't stretch out to quickly. The width of the cups is pretty much perfect for my wideset breasts and amazingly the cup does not gap or wrinkle at all. I usually find with contoured balconette bras that they either close in too fast and cause quadboob or I have an awkward gap at the top of the cup, but this is like it was made for my breasts.
The fabric is super smooth ... and soft and does not show under tighter tops and because of the very thin foamy contour cup it is the perfect t-shirt bra. The wires are more on the rigid side compared to my other bras and that took a bit of getting used to but after a few wears I don't even notice I am wearing it. The only thing that is ever uncomfortable is the three interlocking logo circles at the front of the straps, if I make a wide sweeping gesture (as I am prone to do often) they can pinch my skin a bit. I did notice as I was measuring the bra that the straps can convert to cross back so I may try that to see if it alleviates the problem.
Overall this is my new favourite bra and quality completely justifies the $68 price tag, unlike my Natori feathers at the same price I would actually be happy to pay full price for this instead of skulking the sales.
