My well-intentioned but bra-uninformed mom got me this bralette for my birthday. According to the size chart, S fits a 34 A-C and it is true to size. Unfortunately as my usual size is 26FF, my boobs only got several seconds of nipple coverage before promptly falling out the bottom 😅 Thank goodness it is returnable.
Beyond the fit disaster, it is an ok lounge bralette, but not what I would prefer even if it fit. The fabric is a super soft organic cotton knit with stretch lace hanging down from the band. I love the cotton knit, but the lace, while soft, would be sensory hell for ... me to wear for a whole day. I'm sure it would be fine for people who are otherwise ok with wearing lace bras, though, it is softer than most bra lace I've felt. The cups have pockets with removable molded foam cups. There are no clasps on the band, it is put on by pulling over only. The straps aren't fully adjustable - the front part that goes over the chest and shoulders is a a softer cottony feeling fabric with a bit of cushion and the adjustable part lower on the back is regular flat bra strap material. They are a bit thin for my comfort preference.

Oh! I actually really like this one… but I can’t wear it on its own either due to the fit. I’m around the same size as you but the band is ridiculously huge. I use it as a layering piece during the winter… I wear it over another unpadded bralette with a tighter band when I work from home, and the effect looks like I’m wearing a normal t-shirt bra.
But seriously, what were they thinking when they came up with the sizing?!
