It's like this bra was made for me! I can't even begin to state how much I love it. The lace along the top of the cups is just stretchy enough to handle my asymmetry, and the wings and wire do not run way up into my armpit (a frequent problem of mine). There is decent projection, not TONS, but enough for me (I am moderately projected). Another person reported that despite the bra being described as lower coverage, it fits like a full cup, and I will agree with that. Honestly, I find that all of Understance's bras are just, VERY full coverage. This one is slightly less so.
Ever so slightly too closed on top for my tall roots but cups seem to run a little small so that may be why. Wish I could try it in a cup size up. It's great option for close-set breasts as the gore is low and the wires channels touch at the centre. Love the mesh wings because they don't cut into my back and create bumps. Overall well made and comfy as usual with this brand.
Not really a fan of the straps at the top (although they look neat) as they limit the depth of the necklines I can wear. But they're holding up the cups so I can't remove them.
This is my fourth bra from Understance. Compared to the others, the band is firmer and runs much more true to size. It is definitely a full coverage bra and comes up pretty high on me, however this was surprisingly not an issue. Normally I struggle with this style as I have short roots, however on this bra, the upper fabric somehow doesn't gape. The design is beautiful.
This is my second attempt at the Smooth Ivy. This time, it fits! Once again, I'm impressed at the quality of this bra. Unfortunately, my pictures don't do it much justice. The blue is much prettier and brighter in person.
While this bra has a high apex, the way it's designed allows for shorter roots that don't entirely fill out the top. The sheer mesh sort of conceals any gaping. I especially love the band. It's different from any other bra I've tried and very very flexible and smooth and soft. You may want to size down here if you prefer a tighter fit or are on the lower end of your band size.
