Nice little unlined demi bra with center-pull straps (hard to find in a 30 band!). Very projected for a 30DD. Cup width is nice and narrow. Thin, stretchy material can accommodate asymmetry. Comfortable and pretty sexy due to the sheerness of it. Seamless cups make my breasts look rounded. Doesn’t do much to enhance my volume, but I think it will be nice under sweaters and blouses. Doubt I’ll wear it with t-shirts.

For measuring cup depth, I’ve started using a handy “flexible curve sewing ruler” my husband got me, because you can curve it to the shape of the bra and put a little tension on it, the ... same way your breast does in the cup. I think this is the most accurate way to measure. Using this method, the bra measures 8.75 inches deep. When I measure the bra over my knee, I get approximately the same measurement.

UPDATE: After wearing for a day (under a t-shirt around the house), I can confirm that this bra is quite minimizing for me. The closed off top of the cups pushes me down and to the sides a bit. That said, it’s very comfortable. So, I’ll still use it for outfits where shape doesn’t really matter.

UPDATE 2: This is not as comfortable as I initially thought. The wires are kinda poky and by the end of the day, I want it off.

Pleasantly surprised by this bra. Soft cups (two layers of mesh), plus underwire. The mesh has some give, but it's secure, at least at my size. The band along the top of the cup is stretchier. It's one layer of mesh in the wings, two rows of hooks. The straps have some heft and are fully adjustable. The tiny scallops lining everything are soft. It's all built to be soft against the skin. I can't tell if the cups fit me the way they're supposed to, but the underwire and gore fit great and the rest seems pretty forgiving. I may try a 30DDD if I get a ... chance, but I think I'm just not used to demi coverage. For better or worse, this bra fully embraces my natural shape. It may not work with every top, but it's a nice option to have.

Update: been up and back down in size and literally forgot I had this bra. Revisiting it, I want to mention how much it flattens me out the center and points me out to the sides. Still a nice break from structured t-shirt bras, but I would only wear it under loose tops that can't possibly show (lack of) cleavage.
