If only this bra weren't absurdly small on me in the cups, I'd love it. It's great quality and such a gorgeous color and you can get it at a cheap price. This is an excellent T-shirt bra.

I tried on a size too large for me (ideally, I'm a 34F/FF) just to see what it's like and I really fell in love with the bra. Unfortunately for me, the straps were way too large and stretchy at the tightest setting (I had to hold them up just to see if the cups would fit at least.. but I'm like 5 feet tall so you probably won't have this problem!) Anyway, the fabric is really gorgeous. Much more see-through than the stock photos lead you to believe (I tried on the WHITE version). It's not stiff or scratchy but soft and stretchy. The cups fit pretty well, a bit too wide, even though this size was larger than I normally fit and I would even think that if I'd tried on a cup size down, the stretchiness in the cups would've worked to my advantage.

It's a well-made bra but I'm not entirely sold on the shape. Keep in mind that I'm the opposite shape this bra is recommended for but it was on such a deep discount, I couldn't resist.

I had to shorten the straps down all the way (but I'm like 5 feet tall so you may not have this problem at all). I'm normally a 34F/FF but I got this in a 36F because I read the band runs tight. I haven't washed it yet, so we'll see if it stretches out with a few wears and washes. It feels like a 34, I hope it doesn't stretch out ... too much.

I tried it on a few times and the cups, while they totally encase my breast tissue on the sides, feel like they're *only* enclosing me in from the sides due to the plunge shape. And when I put my arms down by my sides, I'm very aware of the underwires poking at my arm fat. My breasts are naturally close together, so I love the fact that the gore sits low, but at the same time I'm worried my boobs will just fall out the middle as I'm wearing it. I can deal with all of this, but the bra is also quite padded and rigid, which I'm not a fan of. The top of the cups also curve outward a little because of how rigid/padded the material is, which looks odd. I almost thought I bought a G cup by mistake.

Underneath, there's about an inch of empty, flat space that my breast tissue doesn't fill. I find the foam lining to be very comfortable but I think the underwires are too wide for me, but I'm going to wait and see how it feels when I wear it throughout the day. I'm hoping a few washes will relax the cups a little. I'll update my review then.

Update: the bra is fine for most of the day but then the underwire becomes unbearable at the end of the day - painful and itchy, like its digging into my ribcage and sliding down. Hiking it up or moving it doesn't help and I have a red indent when I take it off.

In retrospect, I should have bought this bra. It did fit but I was afraid of falling out of the middle of it! I probably should have jumped around in the fitting room to simulate wearing it for a while but I felt a little too exposed in this plunge style. However, I didn't really have any fit issues, but I was just afraid of quadboob so I didn't get it. My breasts sit close together (an inch of separation) so you may not have the same problem.

This bra quadboobed on me, I suppose I should've sized up in the cup, but in all honesty I just didn't like the colorway (teal/grey) as it looked bad against my skintone. The straps were hideously wide.

I tried this on in a cup size larger than I normally would because that's all they had in the store and I'm still experimenting with my size (34F/FF?) It was only a tiny bit larger in the cup (but pretty stretchy so it wasn't as supportive as my correct size) everywhere else fit pretty well. I kept trying to determine how it would look on me in a cup size smaller by pulling the straps or the band tighter. When I did this I noticed I didn't have gaping in the top of the cups (lace didn't lay completely flat against my chest, it just grazed it ... until I pulled the band tighter). I could've bought this bra but I think a cup size down is in order. The Latte colorway is really pretty by the way and the bra does appear to be more sheer than the stock photos would lead you to believe. I didn't even notice this was a side support bra until I came here to put in my review so that's a good thing, I loved how it pulled my breasts front and center, but still separated them instead of giving me crazy cleavage or having my breasts touch. I'm going to have to stalk this on ebay.

Tried on, fit is great as well as a beautiful color. Gore tacks perfectly. Looks more raspberry pink than fire engine red (to me anyway). Would have bought it but it was full price so I got the 36F in purple. There's a tiny bit of gap at the top and sides of the cup in the 36F but the band is definitely tight (will input measurements shortly). FYI, my underbust is 35.5 so I can wear a 34 or 36.

This bra is not owned any more

I got the 34G on a deep discount and the 34F I tried on was too small so I thought I'd try the G instead of FF. Big mistake, it's too big on the sides, I can feel the cups digging into my armpits. Everything else is fine, but the cups are definitely too big. Oh well, 34FF it is. I hope I can find this for a good price in a 34FF because it's such a beautiful bra in the purple with pinstripes colourway.
