The band is stiffer than I would like, and the cups run small by maybe one size. I’m not sure, because I haven’t actually gotten my hands on many bras in this size.
The crossing straps at the front are really helpful. Since I’m center-full with soft tissue, I tend to pop out between the cups when I lean forward. This keeps me in without a high gore. The gore still isn’t low enough for me, though.
There’s no elastic band on the top of the wings. I’m not sure why.
After a few wears, the bottom of the band (under the cups) has rolled in and scratches a ... lot.
I’m a bit disappointed in this part, but maybe it was my mistake: I got this from Understance’s “asymmetry friendly bras” collection, which advertises “removable padding or uniwire.” Since it’s lightly lined, I assumed I could take out the lining on my large side (that often shoves lined cups down) and leave it as is on my smaller side, so the cup doesn’t crumple. But I don’t see a way to remove it without destroying the bra, so it’ll just get shoved down and dig into my ribs. Anyways, the lining is soft and comfortable.
