The 32DD - Calvin Klein » Perfectly Fit Modern T-shirt Bra (F3837) is a lightly lined, full coverage, t-shirt bra that features a very soft microfiber stretch material in the band, gore, and straps. The band runs small but stretches out quickly with wear, and then it doesn't budge. I would anticipate a "breaking in" period with this model in one's true size. The wide-set straps are good for broad shoulders and have color-matched metal hardware. So, in nymph pink, the hardware is also pink. The straps are half soft microfiber stretch material and half elastic. Like the band, the microfiber part of the straps tends ... to stretch out with wear -- which is my only real complaint with this bra. One has to really be EXTREMELY careful about pulling on them. I've found the band and the top half of the straps have a hard time returning to their previous state once pulled. By the end of the day, the straps are usually falling off my shoulders and consequently, I'll have to tighten them. The straps are also not fully adjustable, just FYI. The back hook-and-eye closure is faintly cushioned and has 2-rows and 3-columns (in the 32DD). The thin 3/16" underlined cups are made of memory foam and for the most part, do well under t-shirts. The underwire and cups give a nice round shape to my tall rooted, averagely projected chest. The cups are supposedly made of a type of stretch material as well and I've heard people say the cups formed to their chest. However, I haven't noticed anything except that the cups stretch out with wear (much like the straps, band, and gore). Also, it should be said that there are no seams; everything has just been fused together. I assume this is part of what makes it hand wash only. However, I threw it in the wash and dryer and it came out like new. I had to break it in again. I'll probably get less mileage on it like this, but... On the whole and despite its "failings," I have really enjoyed wearing this bra. It's comfortable and light. I've even slept with it on. It's my favorite piece right now.

Nymph's Thigh colorway

Heads up, this is my sister size! I recently began my ABTF journey and decided to get a bunch of different sizes of the same bra on Amazon so I could test out my new sizes and return them easily. The calculator gave me 30DD/30E (on different days) and recommended I sister-size to 32DD. I'm still figuring out my shape and I don't think I'm very suited to t-shirt bras but I still wanted to try. I believe I'm mostly FOB and center-full, fairly close-set with indenting/deflation near tail of spence, and pretty narrow-rooted with some height and some projection. I also reviewed a 30DD - ... Calvin Klein » Perfectly Fit Modern T-shirt Bra (F3837) and I have some similar comments there.

[Disclaimer - I have only tried it on]

PROS:
- Comfortable (except the wires) and soft
- Generally liked the shape
- Didn't notice any empty space inside the cup
- Didn't cut into my tails of spence
- Band was perfect size for me
- No uncomfortable seams
- Feels supportive

CONS:
- Gore doesn't tack
- Slight gapping on larger side
- Wires came down too low and pressed into my ribs
- Excess fabric above the wire but it laid flat on my chest

I know this is a full-coverage bra but I feel like the amount of fabric was a little too much and made it seem like I had two large black circles on my chest, particularly with the excess above the wire. It could be a stature issue since I am 5'4 but it overall just seemed disproportionate to my size even though it fit okay. I think a 30DDD would work best for me but unfortunately it's not an option. I preferred the 30DD.
