Great T-shirt bra, it would work very well for someone shallow, inner full and either close-set or wide set due to the low gore.

A molded cup, full coverage, underwire bra. This was my favorite bra for a long time (until pregnancy/nursing changed my shape). Looks great under a T-shirt. Reasonably priced and easily available. Often available in fun colors (seasonally).

UPDATED REVIEW JULY 2019
About this Bra

Purchasing:
* Paid $21.55 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns (not Amazon Wardrobe)
* Available in white and beige.


Band:
* opaque stretch knit
* Elastic at top of band.
* Wing support: no seaming nor boning
* 3-piece band, short gore (nearly a plunge, but not quite that low)
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.

Straps:
* front is same non-stretch knit as cups, ... back is smooth elastic
* front part is stiff (stand up on their own)
* full adjust
* straight back

Cups:
* seamless molded foam full cup
* unpadded, flexible underwire
* Outer fabric is a non-stretch knit with a damask floral pattern. Inner fabric is a smooth, non-stretch knit.


Fit

About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares

Band:
* length: good
* wings: too short
* axillary skin spillage

Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.

Cup:
* Gives breasts a round, projected shape.
* Wires too narrow. Breast pushes the flexible wire away from body. Even when I manage to scoop all tissue inside the wire, it just leaks out again.
* Top of cup smooth
* Bottom of cup: filled

Straps:
* not too far apart
* barely adjust short enough to prevent slipping when new (when stretched out, do not adjust short enough)

Appearance Under Clothing:
* Smooth under a thin T-shirt.
* Not visible under a v-neck.
* Barely visible in armholes of sleeveless shirt (only with extremes of movement).

Assessment and Plan:
* When my breasts were firmer (before pregnancy & breastfeeding), this bra was a favorite, particularly under T-shirts and tank tops.
* Now, the wires lack the strength to keep my breast tissue inside the cup making this bra uncomfortable to wear for very long. I often wear it on laundry day and scoop & sweep hourly.

This Vanity Fair bra is practically ancient. I got it when my breasts practically exploded in size my freshman year of high school. It fit as well as could have been expected then, though I really needed a 30-32" band size. I'm now a 32 DDD and it serves as my emergency bra, but the band is extremely stretched out and the cups are way too small. Considering the circumstances, it's held up extremely well. If you have a constant bra size and are looking for a good, lightweight, lightly supportive t-shirt bra that will stand up to a lot of use, I would recommend this one. However, if you're over a D cup, it probably won't offer you enough support. The bands are slightly thicker than average which is a plus for comfort.

Pretty good. Center ogre is a touch high and top of cups not quite filled.

I bought this bra after pregnancy because I was confident I could go back down to a 34D from my 38DD nursing bras.

Five years later, I find out my true size is 30 F/FF, 32 E/F and this bra does not fit. Quad boob galore, orange-in-a-glass effect, band can be pulled two inches off my back.

Event though it doesn't fit, it's a beautiful bra, and well made too.

I expected "memory foam" to be thicker. However, this foam is rather thin and unobtrusive. I'm looking forward to testing it out over the next month to see how it performs and then review it again.

I have had this bra for awhile but haven't worn it since my breasts increased in size shortly after purchasing. Since I have lost weight recently, I pulled it out to give it a try. Vanity Fair bras have generally worked well for me since my teen years, and this bra is no exception. The material is smooth and comfortable and the cups give a nice contour shape with no nipple show-through. The front part of the strap made of a non-stretch fabric for additional support. The straps on this bra adjust and are convertible on the back, allowing for a variety of styles. The center gore is low, allowing it to comfortably rest against the sternum for those with breasts that are closer together.

My main qualm with this style of bra is that the cup pokes out near the outside, right before my armpits. Because of this, I shy away from wearing certain styles of shirts. The reason for this though is that it is just the wrong size for me. If I truly wore a 34D, this would probably be my favorite bra.

the center gore digs into my middle boobs so hard!

Doesn't quite fit, but as a cheap t-shirt bra, some days it's good enough.

The band is larger than most of my bras, but on the tightest hook it feels snug enough. Molded cups are impressively deep for a standard-range bra.

Main issues are that the wires don't quite rest on my sternum, so it doesn't provide the enough support for long-term comfort, and by pressing my breasts flatter they look larger.

I'm tempted to alter it a bit by taking out a dart in the front gore to tilt the cups a little closer and a bit less plunge-ily. I think it would help the underwires sit at the sternum.
