A supportive, tailored bra for all-day wear, if you don't mind a fairly tall and narrow gore.

The folks at Wacoal have clearly put a lot of thought into engineering this bra to have precisely the right materials in the right places for a supportive but lightweight everyday bra. I particularly like the choice of two fabrics in the side-slings, no-stretch mesh covered with softer jersey, which really does seem to eliminate east-west spreading of the breast tissue. The choice of a two-layered mesh at the top of the cup is also inspired, giving just enough stretch to accommodate unevenness and yet provide some support. The top-edge elastic is ... the best I've seen, soft but with great recovery. The angled long seam in the cup gives an uplifted shape that is not nearly as pointy as the otherwise similar Retro Chic.

My quibble is that the gore becomes very tall and narrow in my size, and so I don't get a firm tack at the sternum -- my breasts are too wide-set for that. The soft tack doesn't ruin the comfort of the bra, though.
