    I think it might be a size too small given that I get a bit of quad-boob after swooping and scooping. Even so, it's so comfortable I've forgotten I was wearing it, and after a few minutes of settling the quad-boobing isn't noticeable, even under a tight shirt. I'm FOB and shallow with tall roots (I think? Shape is still a bit of a mystery to me, to be honest). Band feels good and supportive, underwire doesn't poke at the armpit or the gore, and it looks great on. As a bonus, it's thick enough it'll hide my perky nipples even when it gets cold out (which is always a challenge!). Altogether very happy with it, and will keep an eye out for discounts on a 30E to test my hypothesis re: sizing https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

  2. This bra is truly a lucky find for me, as smooth seamless-cupped t-shirt bras that fit a 26 underbust are almost impossible to find. Especially without importing from Poland!

    The band is lace on the outside and mesh on the inside, so it's quite cool. The elastic is covered with some velvety fabric so it doesn't irritate. And most importantly the band is exceptionally small for a "30" band, which is excellent for me. Brand new, it is just tight enough on the innermost hook, so I will have to alter it as time goes on. I also have this bra in the purple colorway, and it does stretch ... out noticeably over time. There are 3 columns of 2 hooks.

    The straps are a thick, velvety texture which is as comfy as non-sport bras get. Which is not very comfortable IMO, but it's all relative. They are fully adjustable, but I don't need that.

    The gore is low and narrow enough not to rest on breast tissue even though I'm quite close set.

    The cups fit very nicely. They are molded foam cups that hold their own shape without a boob in them, but are softer compared to other molded cups. Most molded cups I try have the problem of flattening my boobs, buckling over at the bottom, and gaping at the top - probably because they are too shallow. For whatever reason, this bra has none of those issues. They are closed enough at the top that despite my FOB shape and short roots, I don't get any noticeable gaping, even on my smaller side. The cups definitely cope with my asymmetry well.

    Compared to the purple colorway, the narrower gore on this version alleviates the problems I had with the purple colorway. The wires no longer sit on breast tissue in the middle, and sides of the cups don't dig into my armpits.

    The wires are slightly too wide for me, but it's not uncomfortable and the bra doesn't cut into my armpits much.

    It gives a shape that I like under clothing. Definitely not as lifted or centered as Comexim, but rounded and invisible even under clingy white t-shirts.

    The underwire moves a bit and pinches when I slouch. I think the band is too wide (for reference, underbust is 29.5 loose and 28.5snug). The cups are soft and fit well. The straps are a little wideset for narrow shoulders.

    Overall, it does not fit, but this is the best bra I have.

    It goes without saying that as a 26FF wearing a 30DDD, the band was too large.
    The gore is too wide for my close set breasts.
    The upper edges of the outside of the cups dig into my armpits.
    The wires are too wide.

    However, for a molded bra it is surprisingly projected enough. It's very soft and comfy. The straps are elastic and have a velvety texture. I'm even to slightly FOB with short roots, and it does not gap at the top!

    This is my first bra that really fits. I have slightly narrow, short roots, with moderate projection and nearly-even fullness, and everything about this bra fits perfectly. It's about as thinly lined as you can get with a tshirt bra (as far as I know), more like spacer foam than true "padding." Wacoal's website calls it "stretch foam," but I haven't seen that before so I'm not sure if it's the same as spacer foam or not.

    It's comfortable against my skin everywhere; no digging, no itching, no roughness on the edges of the straps, just feels supportive and smooth. I have a tendency toward pointiness ... in some bras, but this one gives me a nice rounded shape and looks great under a snug tshirt. I love it, and will be ordering in every color.

    I'm still zeroing in on my size, and I grabbed this one off the clearance rack at Nordstrom rack just to get an idea of how Wacoal might fit me in a general way, expecting it to be a little too small. I couldn't believe it when it actually fit. It's a cup size smaller than what was recommended to me recently, but I'm not sure if the recommendation was off by a cup size, or if this particular bra runs a little large.

  6. This was the very first bra I owned that I purchased after getting fitted for the first time. It has amazingly comfortable u-band straps, lightly padded (but not too much), comes in great colors, wires are comfortable at the gore. It's so great I own 3! Sadly outgrown.

    This is a nice bra. The cup is smooth with a pretty lace overlay, but the trim at top of cup is thick enough to be seen through a thin t-shirt. A great bra but not a t-shirt bra, in my opinion.

    Overall comfort and fabric feel good. The adjuster on the strap make a creaky sound haha. The shape of the molded cup doesn't fit my shape very well. I am center full and close set and I get spillage with this one. Not really quad boob just middle spillage. Think I will have to pass on this one.

  9. This is the comfiest bra I own and one of few that actually blends under t-shirts!! I'm going to buy another in the Sand shade but I want this in every color because it's seriously the only bra I own that isn't painful after a few hours.

    The cups of this bra seem to curve in and close at the top more than other t-shirt bras I've tried. Too closed on top for my tall shallow roots. The cups seem shallow as well.
