**UPDATE AUGUST 2014**
After extensive bra-searching and finally finding several Bras That Fit (Fauve 30F Padded Half-Cups and Ewa Michalak 65FF various), not only am I less impressed with the VS fit, but the VS fit IS ACTUALLY WORSE. I think my tissue migrated to the point where the too-large band size can no longer make up for the too-shallow cups. I bulge at the top now. Time to say goodbye. Luckily, I have a MUCH better bra-drobe now; these did the job of getting me through until I found actual fitting bras.
**ORIGINAL REVIEW, JUNE 2014**
I love this bra. I know it's not cool to like Victoria's ... Secret in the Bratabase/ABraThatFits world, and I KNOW it doesn't fit. The bras that do fit me well are typically 30F, so the band here is noticeably too large (gore is so, so far from my sternum), and the cups are too small, or they would be if band fit. (VS doesn't make a band smaller than 32.) But full disclosure? I wear this more often than the bras that do fit me. It's just soooo comfy.
The saleswoman at VS recommended this when I disclosed my skin sensitivity issues and lace aversion. She says it's what they typically recommend to people with fabric sensitivities. I don't know if that's true or why it would be (it's made of synthetic nylon), but it seems to be anecdotally true in my case. The fabric and construction are incredibly comfortable to me.
Lightly lined cups, no headlights, seamless under T-shirts. If I could get this in a smaller band and larger cup, I would be so happy.
Material: 71% nylon, 29% spandex (elastane)
