I would really recommend this bra to someone who doesn't like underwire bras, is having trouble wearing underwire bras at the current moment, and/or who's looking for a sleep bra or bra to wear around the house (and who, of course, falls into this bra's size range). I think I've had maybe two other wireless bras in the past, and I'm really impressed by how this bra manages to keep my boobs mostly in place and separate. Also, the fabric is /so/ soft and thin--it's really, really comfortable, especially if you want to use it as a sleep bra and you're like me and have a hard time ... sleeping while wearing bulky fabrics.

I would describe the lift this bra gives as being sort of like this: \ rather than the more forceful -| sort of lift I tend to get from underwire bras (I hope those visuals make sense to other people, lol). This bra definitely keeps my pendulous boobs off of my ribcage, but they're still in close enough proximity to each other that I felt kind of underboob sweaty when I went out in this bra this morning when it was about 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, as might be expected, my boobs definitely move around more in this bra when I go up and down the stairs and the like than most underwire bras. Still, I wouldn't be uncomfortable wearing this bra out for a stroll or less intense day of school or work, and I wouldn't be distraught if this was the only type of bra I owned. The only thing I don't think I'll do with this bra is lounge around in it--I like being braless better (and I like the effect of shoving my shirt under my boobs to prevent underboob sweat better than wearing this bra).

I do feel as if this bra is a bit small for me in the cups. I get the tiniest bit of quadding from time to time (not visible in the pictures), but I'm unsure if this is because I have the biggest cup volume this particular size allows for or if it's because I'm more full on top than this bra can accomodate for or both. It's because of this that I marked the bra as not fitting me because the top line of the cup is really firm to prevent boob escapage, and so, it's pretty uncomfortable when it digs into your skin. My prominent rib fat also makes it so that the front of the band rolls up; however, it does not roll up so badly that it compromises support, so I'm okay with that.

This bra has six rows of hook and eye closures to allow for a broader range of people to wear this bra. Sugar Candy advertizes this size as being able to fit a 28, 30, and 32 band, but although this bra's band would fit you if you were a 28, I'd be cautious to try this bra, since you wouldn't have a lot of wiggle room when the band stretches out. (As for me, I have a 28.5 inch ribcage and go back and forth between whether I want to wear this bra on the third or fourth set of hooks). I feel as though this size would fit someone who's a 32G best of all.

My shape: Projected, narrow, shorter roots, even/functionally full on bottom, soft tissue. Cleo Lily fits me best.

I'm currently a 30G, and I really struggled with whether to get a XS or S in this bra. The chart on the box does suggest an XS for a 30G, but I decided to try a S after reading reviews.
The cups fit decently, but I can easily fasten the band on the 4th column of hooks (there are 6 total). I might be able to get away with a XS, but my breasts are already a little squished in the S cups (but not uncomfortably so).

I have a feeling I'll be returning this bra because I'd rather not pay full price for it, but it is soft and does seem to be well made.

Note: the style number on the tag is 28-8005-06. I'm not sure how it differs from 28-8005-07.

I have this bra in XS, which fits me, but I couldn't resist this great deal on eBay. However, Small is way too big for me, so I'm sending it back.

I wear a 28H and the small is a good fit for me. This is the most comfortable bra I’ve ever worn and the only non-underwire bra that’s actually worked for me. It’s so comfortable that I actually want to put it on, even just around the house. It’s more comfortable than no bra at all! The fabric is high quality and very soft, and the amount of stretch is not only very forgiving of a wide size range but especially good for asymmetry or other fit issues. It actually does lift and separate, rather than just squashing the boobs inwards and downwards like all other soft bras I’ve tried. This bra is basically a miracle. It does look very torpedo-y by itself but the shape isn’t super bad under clothing. It’s definitely not a round shape but it looks fine and it’s worth it for the amazing comfort. It does show nipplage through thin shirts, though.
