The underwires on this bra are wide, and the cups are shallow, both of which made it a good fit for me. It also produces a noticeably lifted and rounded shape, which I was thrilled by!

Even though it's marketed as a T-shirt bra, the combination of thick padding and the lacy detail on the upper edge of the cups means that it doesn't really give a smooth appearance under thin or form-fitting tops, but works well under thicker or more structured tops. The only feature that I wasn't entirely happy with were the straps, which are very wide set.

I've had this bra for longer than I want to admit, but wear it infrequently enough that it's still in good shape. It's definitely the best fit that I've ever found in a strapless bra, which is why I've been reluctant to replace it.

The band runs somewhat small and is very firm, which is great for me. I also love that I don't get any gapping along the top of the cup, which is the the main problem that I typically have with molded cup bras. Two things that may not work for everyone: the foam is quite thick, and removable straps are wide-set.

I like this bra so much that I bought it again in 30DD when my size changed! It's technically a molded cup, but the material is very pliable, and quite thin. It looks smooth under t-shirts and gives good nipple coverage, but doesn't feel as restrictive as some stiffer molded cup bras can. The underwire is fairly wide, which worked for me, but may not work for everyone, and the bra does produce more of an east-west shape.

This is one of my favorites, especially because it's the best fit I've found in bras that are fairly easy to find in regular department stores. I do get a small amount of gapping at the top of the cup, but the gore tacks perfectly on me, I love the fairly tall wings, and the underwire is wide enough that it actually encapsulates all of my breast tissue.

This was one of my favorite bras last year. It no longer fits due to some weight fluctuation, but if it came in a 30 band, I would absolutely buy it again. The moulded cups aren't stiff at all, and are a good match for my shallow, FOB shape. Plus, the lace trim didn't show through any of my T-shirts or thinner tops.

It does give an east-west shape that I don't mind, but that not everyone may love. In terms of fit, my only issue was a small amount of wrinkling and emptiness at the bottom of the cup.

The band definitely runs small, and the cups seem to run large. In my usual 30DD, the band was firmer than on other Wacoal styles that I've tried, which was great for me, but the amount of gapping at the top of the cups made it unwearable.

Fortunately, the 30D fits beautifully. This style has wide underwires, high wings, and a fairly tall gore. Since the top of the cup is somewhat open, I wasn't sure how it work on my FOB shape, but I was pleasantly surprised, and in the 30D I don't have any gapping. The mesh on the sides of the cups was also much better at comfortably containing breast tissue than I expected, and doesn't dig in to my underarms.

This is my first cut-and-sew bra, and I'm glad that I tried it! My molded cup bras tend to keep my breasts firmly in place, so the sense of greater movement in the cut-and-sew took a little getting used to, but was ultimately very comfortable. In the summer, I think it'll be cooler than my usual molded cup bras. Plus, the polka dots and the lace are adorable. You can definitely see the pattern and the seams through thin tops, but not through thicker shirts.

My only issue with fit is that the lace at the top of the cup wrinkles on my smaller side. Other than that, the band seemed true to size, the gore tacks, and the underwires/cups are a good fit for my relatively wide, shallow shape.

I usually prefer taller cups, but this bra was a surprisingly good shape match for me. The fabric used for the gore isn't stiff at all, and the cups are made of memory foam! It really feels like the foam is working with my breast shape rather than against it. The band is larger than I expected, however, and stretches quite a bit more than anticipated.

This is one of my tried-and-true go-to bras! I've purchased it multiple times throughout the years in various sizes and colors because it works so well for me. The low gore, wide underwires, soft fabrics, and fully adjustable straps are all positives. Even through the cup's padding is quite thin, I've found that it provides good nipple coverage. The shape is somewhat shallow and wide, which may be issues for people with a narrower or more projected shape.

The 32DD doesn't fit as well now as it did when I bought it, but that's due to weight fluctuation, and isn't an issue with the bra itself. At present, the top of the cups gap more than I'd like, but the lace/mesh overlay does help to disguise that.
