What a pretty bra! I got this in the purple marble, and I love the contrasting coral straps and trim! I tried it on with one of my fav t-shirts that's a very pale pink color (and always hard to find just the right color bra to wear with so that it doesn't show thru) and it was perfect! Couldn't see it at all! There were virtually no seams or "show-through" of any kind! Just a teensy bit of the cup's edge. And it's super soft and comfy https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

The main thing I love about this bra is the ballet back on the ... band, felt pretty tight for a 32 (which I desperately need) and the u-shaped back makes it even better. Felt secure without the band riding up my back. And the straps are fully adjustable and can be cross-crossed in the back. The cups are soft and not stiff (like they somewhat are in their "Pink" Wear Everywhere line). There is a tiny bit of padding, more of a "bump" along the wire, for a little uplift but it's def not a padded push-up. The wires do seem too wide for me, as they usually are in the 32DDD but I know I'd be falling out of the DD. The wires came too far out under my armpits. And the gore wasn't tacking at all, it feels like the cups are a tad too far apart for my boobs https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I felt the urge to keep pushing the gore down. Guess I could try taking in the gore a bit but I don't wanna ruin the bra. But if I keep it where it needs to be without scooping and swooping too much, I actually get a nice, smooth line along the edge of the cup without any quad boob! Yay for no quad boob!

Overall, this bra gives a terrific shape under t-shirts, as do just about all VS bras for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It gives a very nice, smooth, seamless, rounded, lifted shape without all the padding and mega cleavage! Despite the fit not being the greatest, I can def still wear this bra and plan to https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> Perfect t-shirt bra if you're looking for a seamless look without feeling minimized or flattened, but don't need all the cleavage and extra padding!

UPDATE: So I wore this bra ALL day, still have it on now, slept in it last night, super comfy!! This bra is def gonna be one of my new favs https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It's perfect for when I want something with a little more coverage and I'm not spilling out of it, afraid my nipples are popping out! It has just the right amount of lining/padding, very thin but not too thin (kind of like VS Body but not as soft). The back of the band stayed where it was supposed to and I didn't have to keep tugging at it! Def a keeper https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

SECOND UPDATE (Lol): So I decided to hang onto this bra and I haven't really worn it much. It's been sitting in the VERY back of my bra "line-up" in my bra drawer. I was curious to see how it fit since I haven't worn it that recently. And the girls have changed a little (I do have implants and they've seemed to settle a bit more since I first bought this bra). I was amazed! I can not believe how well this bra fits!!! I'm SO GLAD I held onto it! It fits like a glove now! I was NOT expecting such a perfect fit! No more orange in a glass effect or quad boob! It's like second skin https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I added a few more pics that I just took which are more recent and the differences are pretty clear (to me anyway). Now I want to go get some more in all the different pretty colors!!! This is such a fantastic, pretty summer t-shirt bra!!!

Purple Marble with Coral colorway

Mission: Fight my way through the semi annual sale crowd and see if any Victoria's Secret bras work for me. I do enjoy some of their panties so I'm there either way. After some digging through bras I started to go by feel - I know their padded bras aren't going to work for me since I need that space in the cups. And most of their bras are super padded, so this quickly narrowed things down.

The result: This bra

This bra definitely doesn't have enough cup depth for me, but I like it pretty well. Similar fitting bras from other brands become uncomfortable due to the too shallow/too ... small fit, but this one is pretty comfy and provides a good shape. The cup is open enough on top that there is minimal cutting in on the tissue that doesn't fit in the cup.

This bra does make me realize the quality of other bras that I take for granted. After about a month of wearing 2-3x a week, this one is looking a faded along the wire and armpit areas. Meanwhile my beige Wacoal bras are hardly faded after 8+ months.

I would never pay full price for a VS bra, but they have pretty good sale prices so I would recommend exploring if you can sister size into their sizes. Plus, they're everywhere online for cheap - though being able to try them on makes it way easier.

I think this bra is a good tshirt bra. I wish VS carried smaller band sizes. I'd be much more comfortable in a 30 band but I have never had much to complain about while wearing a VS bra.

Great for if you have a little more roundness on the top of the breast, wasn't able to fill it as much up top and a little overfilled on bottom.

I out grew this bra, but loved it while i could still wear it, it looked great under any shirt I would wear, and fit comfortably.

Everyday go-to with a little lift, soft, sleek cups and a smoothing U-shaped back–all in a shape that is comfy. VS logo on front.
