This bra was a disappointment.

It comes with two sets of straps: a clear set that I would never use, and a silky, extra-wide nude set which are the nicest, softest straps I've ever laid hands on.

It also includes two sets of pads, one thin set and a thicker push-up set. They look almost the same and if I was keeping this bra, I would never wear either of them.

The bra itself is darker than the product picture on the website, and much too dark for my skin. Think darker than a tanned Caucasian but lighter than a Pacific Islander.

It has diamond-patterned mesh trim on the gore and ... the tops of the cups which keeps it from looking boring, and the hardware is all sturdy metal, though I wish it was silver rather than gold-coloured.

I love that the cups are fairly thin, soft, and flexible, and also matte rather than shiny. They're made of a 3:1 nylon elastane blend, which has to be my second favourite fabric after modal.

The label is printed directly on to the inside of the padded hook clasp -- a nice touch I wish more manufacturers would do. Scratchy labels are the worst!

The band is nice and snug on the loosest hook despite being a sister size too big, with side boning and grippy silicone to hold it in place. It's softer and more comfortable than the Deco strapless by far.

For a strapless bra, it's surprisingly open on top and doesn't cut in. The cups, despite being slightly too wide, slightly too separate, and slightly too small (i.e. true to size), would actually be a reasonably comfortable fit... if it wasn't for those god-forsaken pad pockets. They're SO thick! Even with the pads taken out, they show through the cups and make my boobs look weird and lumpy, as you can see in the pictures. With pads inserted, it looks even more comically disfigured. WHY WHY WHY would they ruin a perfectly good bra with these things?!

I don't have the time or skill to cut them out and even if I did, it's not worth it for a nude bra that doesn't have a hope of blending under my clothes. Therefore, unfortunately, the "Everything 2.0" will be swiftly returned. Here's hoping they come up with a version 3.0 that comes in more colours and doesn't wreck the entire design with useless pad pockets.

This bra is amazingly soft and comfortable, I love the memory foam and pleated straps but I fear it is too tight. MAYBE, I need to try a 30C 1/2, 30D or 32C? ... What do y'all think?
