This has a similar fit to the Body By Victoria Lightly Lined Full/Perfect Coverage Bra. The fabric has slightly less "give" because it's mostly cotton, and is maybe incrementally shallower. The band size is too large for me (I should be a 30, but 32 is the smallest VS currently makes). Gore is laughably far from tacking and even the bottoms of the cups sometimes don't lie against my ribs but instead gap under my breasts. The cups would be too small if the band actually fit; a 30E or 30F would be ideal for me, but try telling that to Victoria's Secret.
Still, I enjoy wearing this bra. ...I find it very comfortable. I have skin sensitivity issues which make synthetic fabrics and especially lace very itchy and uncomfortable for me. This really is my ideal type of bra: a smooth, lace-free, lightly lined T-shirt bra mostly made of soft & breathable cotton. I just wish I could find something like this in my size! Until then, this ill-fitting but super-comfy bra is in my normal rotation.

I love this bra but I got it in the wrong size. The back is a U so it is completely invisible, the side wings are wide, and the cups are seamless. It has a bit too much push up for my tastes but I still like it.
It's a lovely bra that, when I weighed less, fit me pretty well. The cups are super comfortable with a serious amount of squish in the cups, the straps don't dig and the wings seem to be made out of a sorta shiny swimsuit material. It stretched a bit from me wearing it, but it's still in good condition. I've only handwashed it, but it is an old bra that I had for a year+
Doesn't enclose my breast, lots of room in the top, underwire comes out easily and that sucks. But it's soft, really pushes up without constricting, some stretching during the day while you're wearing it.
**EDIT** i know now this cup is definitely too wide. i still wear it on occasion, as it doesnt cause any major discomfort, but it doesnt technically fit, so ive updated the info to reflect that.
This is the first bra I've had that fits me in the cup and band almost perfectly, and is a size 34DD. I find it very comfortable, aside from one or two small things. Its a lined demi, so i don't get a ton of lift and no "push", but i wanted something easy to wear that i wouldn't need to adjust myself into all day. This is also the first non padded ...bra i bought for wear day to day, outside of work (its very physical, so usually a lined demi is what i use for that).
As looks go: This is a very light "nude" color, with a tiny white mesh/almost fishnet overlay that has rose scalloped lace on the bottom 3/4 of the cups and onto the band. The gore has criss-crossing strips of mesh covering it, like the way a boot laces. Attached is also a small white bow and VS charm logo. I LOVE the looks of this! Its very elegant and pretty, but also great for under t-shirts, since it matches my skin and the decorations are smooth. The downside is that the mesh snags very, very easily. it was a struggle finding one in store that didn't have a pull in it, so i had to have one shipped home, and I've already gotten them on the band and cup despite being very careful. Tiny hairs and fuzzies also get under the lace and are almost impossible to remove. this is definitely a hand wash bra!
Fit: Surprisingly, i like the shape i have in it. I feel rounded, and natural, and there is only a small amount of tissue escaping on the sides. This is partly because its a demi and the sides probably need to be higher, and partly because i am heading towards DDD, which wasn't available. The straps are pretty far set, but i dont experience slipping. They attach to the band in a slight "ballet back", which i love and tends to help keep them from slipping down. When i first wore it, i did have some strap rolling and cutting me in the armpits, but it seems to have stopped now that its been broken in. The straps adjust all the way. I have them almost fully lengthened, so for someone who needs longer straps this may not work.
The band is very stretchy but anchors better than most other VS bras ive tried. It is made of a band of the mesh lace with a thinner band of tighter elastic along the edges, which are really the only things that keep it anchored to you. For me, those tiny strips roll onto themselves after a while and cut into me, forcing a re adjust. This usually only happens if i have to tighten it past the first hook, or if i've been moving from sitting to standing a lot. I suspect the band needs to be tighter, but the material doesn't allow for that without instantly rolling. if the whole band were backed in the same stiffer elastic, this would be perfect. I am also on the small end of plus sized, so my softer back may be too much for it, and someone slimmer will probably not have this issue. The band does tighten back up nicely when washed, something most of my VS bras fail at. i get a mostly smooth back, until the rolling starts.
Overall i would recommend at least trying this bra if you aren't sized out, as its a pretty basic and very comfortable. It would probably work best for someone with a more slender back then myself.
I found this bra at Goodwill and, for a bra for which I paid $6, have been very happy with it. It's still probably my go-to nude t-shirt bra, despite being the wrong size. The fabric is soft and comfortable, though hasn't held up particularly well, and seems to have stretched out. Because the band is too big for me, the underwire doesn't sit against my ribcage underneath my breasts, which is a problem, but again, has less to do with the bra itself than with the fit. I find that the underwire pokes me under the arms, but otherwise the bra is remarkably comfortable.
Only worn once, brand new condition, super comfortable and can be worn classic or racerback! Gives a great lift and inward cleavage. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Flares out and causes "bra lines" through shirts. Reallyreallyreally soft! Pale color actually matches my super pale skin, but the straps constantly lengthen themselves. It's not a huge issue because they don't extend far, just not keeping everything as tight as I'd like.
Fairly comfortable. Gives a lot of cleavage without any padding outside of a thin lining. Not my most comfortable but I don't rush to take it off at night.
Very shallow on the bottom. I have lots of projection on the bottom so the cups slid down on my chest. Also this bra's inner cup line started to curl out after the first week of wearing (no wash yet), but hasn't gotten worse. Otherwise this was a good bra, just not for me.
I love it. Very soft materials, and the underwires are perfect for my body. No silly padding to try and bulk things up, but molded enough to give a shape to those of us with shallow, pointy boobs. The band is nice and stretchy, so you might want to order a size down if you are used to snug bands. Also, I find that the straps are set slightly too far to the sides of the cups, which can sometimes fold the cup oddly, or rub under my arm. But that is a pretty minor problem. The only other thing is that I would prefer the underwires to come up all the way to the top of the cups, instead of stopping an inch down. But this bra is supremely comfortable, and gives me a better shape than I have ever gotten before, so I can't exactly complain. I would recommend it to somebody else for sure.
This bra is awesome and cute. It actually stays up quite well on me for a 32 band. I like how it looks like a bandeau under certain tops but still offers an actual cup and padding/underwire. I'm not constantly pulling at it, which is impressive.
It's a nice, cute bra. Looks like a bandeau from the side with scalloped rose lace but still offers support and lift. Underwire doesn't go up as high or wide on the sides as I need for my breast type. Padding is soft foam. Comes in small variety of colors and patterns as it is still a relatively new bra.
