First off I have to say I was super stoked to recieve this bra! I just recently began my properly fitting bra adventures, and have learned that there are not many padded bras made in my size https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I just prefer a little padding in there. The padding on this bra in my opinon is just about right. Its not super thick, but enough for that added layer of protection. I had read previous reviews that recommended going up a band and cup size so I ordered a 38JJ. This was before I realized I should be wearing a ... 34 band in most bras instead of a 36. Sadly this size is just too big for me, I dont quite fill the sides and top of the cup. I had to fasten the band on the tightest hook to keep it from sliding up, but could still fit my whole hand between the band and my back. I did love how secure I felt in this bra, the band felt very supportive and firm despite it being to big. The gore laid pretty flat and didn't seem to poke or jab me in the few minutes I had it on. The shoulder staps were comfy and didn;t dig in. The wires seemed a bit high under my arm, but I am hoping that this has to do with the too big size. I ordered the red and black and it is a very bold and sexy looking bra with a retro feel, I personally love that style, but realize its not for everyone. I have already ordered a 36JJ and a 36J, I'm hoping one of those will be the right fit because I really love the features and looks of this bra. I believe with the right fit it has the potential to be very comfortable.
