I have not altered these yet, so the bands are fairly loose on me. I tend to tighten the straps a lot just so I can get some lift in the cup, but it causes a lot of pain in my neck so I try not to wear these as often. The one good thing about these bras is that they give a great shape in the cup. They are not padded, but have a thin molded (lightly lined) cup. Show through is very obvious in the beige one since it doesn't have that lace overlay (that gives you an idea how thin these are). I wish they ... didn't have a lace band because I notice it's a bit stretchier than just regular Lycra fabric, but they are pretty. I have worn the beige one more than the other two and I already notice the band is about 1" larger, so the lace fabric in the band is not holding up as good as other bras from VS.
The two lace styles are style #219-061, and the beige style is #216-025, purchased 08/2010.
