I want to preface this review by saying that I am not pregnant, nursing, or planning to do either. I have fibrocystic breast changes and my doctor recommended I sleep in a bra to deal with the cyclical pain that I have. So this review is not aimed at pregnant or nursing women, I don't think, but if you find something useful in it, all the better.

The size chart said I should have gotten M-Busty, however, seeing as outside my cycle my breasts don't fluctuate too much in size, and to make sure that the band fits properly, I got S-Busty.
I think it was the right call. The ... cups already stretched out and I fill them out nicely, no quadding, no empty space, just a boob in a cup https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />.
It is extremely comfy around the band.

Some issues: the elastic in the band doesn't seem very durable. I put it on and took it off, and put it on again, and now it's already sort of folded over inside. I managed to straighten it but I can see this being an issue. The crossover cup does not give a nice look to the boob where the cup goes under it (idk how to explain this). However, since I will be using it as sleep bra (around the house bra as I call it), the appearance does not matter to me. The straps are obviously non adjustable, but they are wide and stretchy so that also does not matter much to me.

update: After wearing it all day I will say the unadjustable straps are giving me some major shoulder pain. I'm pretty low set so I should have known this would be an issue.

Blissfully soft. Supportive. Wide band. This is a marked improvement over Bravado's Original Small+.

However, I really need an Extra-Small Extra-Busty for the best fit. The larger "small band" rides up over the lower portion of my breasts. It doesn't hurt, but I prefer the elastic under rather than over my breasts. Perhaps adding 1/2" of length to each strap may be all I require to make the Extra-Small Busty fit. Hmm...

The Extra-Small band (28" stretched) provided excellent support on my 28" underbust. The Small band measures, roughly, 32". Still, this is 2" shorter than Bravado's Original Small Plus. But, ideally, Kindred Bravely would make an Extra-Small ... Extra-Busty. I will request this size soon. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Edit: I have placed the "first request" for an extra-small extra-busty. Many more people will need to place the same request before this will become available. Sigh.

This bra is my most comfortable, breathable, and supportive. This is what I wish my Blue Canoe Organic Cotton Bra had been. Mecca. Heaven. Utopia. Kindred Bravely French Terry Nursing Bra. This is the bra I forget I'm wearing. The Organic Cotton style is fantastic, too.
