This is one of the bras I bought before I was aware of my measured size of 28F/30E. The fitter at the store suggested 32C/D or 34B/C which I knew was wrong and I went home with this. The fabric of the cup is soft and comfortable. It's not a bad fit, although the band is stretchy and at some point I'm really going to need to look into altering the band length. For now though I don't have an issue with the cup width or anything. That being said, I don't reach for this bra that often for reasons I'll list below.
The problems: Half of the strap ... is not adjustable and I found I need the straps as short as possible. If the straps stretch out at all, I will be out of room for adjustments. The other thing about this bra is it is VERY thickly padded. I think they market it as "add a cup size" or push up something. I find it pretty uncomfortable, as the cup digs into my ribs while I'm sitting. I don't think it's a fit issue; it's just the design of this bra, it's like armor. The bra feels bulky due to all the padding and isn't well suited for hot weather. I'll always choose a thin foam or unlined bra on a hot summer day over something like this. It doesn't create much of cleavage, its really just bulk.

That all being said this bra is really handy to have when I'm traveling. the cups are so thick and structured that I can usually pack my other molded bras on top of it and they won't get deformed.

I chose this bra because I was in desperate need of support while on my years-long journey of discovering my best size. This bra has wonderful full coverage. It is a padded and molded variety. I prefer the padded/molded bras to help create a more North-South balanced silhouette. The straps are very soft. The fabric is smooth but a cotton-like finish, which causes some shirts to lay oddly due to friction. My ribcage measures at 29" and this bra in on the looser end of my preference spectrum. Maybe this is because the band is so stretchy? After a few wears it feels like there is A LOT of bra on my body. This has led me to realize that the cups are shifting down slightly. Latching on the tightest hook has not remedied the shifting issue. I shall experiment either with another shape of cup or explore sister sizes.
