This is my first half cup (balconet) bra. What attracted me to it was the scalloped cup shape.
My favourite part about this bra is the shape of the cups. They are lightly padded foam and the padding does not graduate towards the bottom of the cup. The straps are my least favourite thing about this bra since they are a bit on the thin side. I do find it cutting into my shoulders and arms whenever I move.
The band stretches easily but also pulls back quite tightly. It's very hard to explain but I think it might have to do with the fact that the elastic is ... strong, however the mesh part of the wings are not contributing to the overall support. It's very thin and serves just to hold everything in place, but is not very load bearing. This might not actually bother many people since I've not heard many complaints about it, so it could just be me. The gore comes up a bit higher than I can withstand. My threshold is very low at about 2.5 inches.
I decided to keep this bra, but it's on low rotation. I just save it for life's more sultry moments. I do still enjoy the shelf cleavage it gives me when I need it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
