This is one of the few bras of this style that *really* fits me right! The moulded cups are thick enough to prevent show-through but thin and soft (and squishy!) enough to be comfortable while still holding shape. The moulding gives me an especially nice rounded shape (my breasts start low and are fuller on the bottom) and compensates for my somewhat different-sized breasts (my left one is fuller). Rather than repositioning or squishing my breasts, they simply contain them nicely with no shifting, bulging, or gapping. The flat, stretchy ribbon at the top is especially nice for a flat, seamless effect.
The underwire is low enough in both the sides and the centre gore for my frame (often a problem with non-plunge bras because my sternum protrudes somewhat), and don't poke at all.
I have the nude with black overlay and stripes, so it looks a little less pubescent. The pink was a little too much for me. I am debating removing the little pink bows on each strap.
So far this has to be one of my favourite bras in terms of fit and comfort. Time will tell whether it holds up!
6-Month Update:
I have machine washed this on gentle cycle in a bra bag (cold water, quick soak, swish, and rinse cycle of about 15 minutes) and laid flat to dry, but after about 6 months, the underwire of the left cup poked through the centre gore material on the inside and stars sliding upward through the hole. Not a big deal. I "reset" it by pushing it back through the meshy soft material before I wear it, and it tends to stay there for at least 12 hours, unless I'm moving around a lot.
The band does stretch out more quickly than bands in other materials. I guess that's the trade-off of this soft material. I can still get away with wearing on the loosest hook, if I don't move around too much, but if I'm going to be lifting my arms at all, I have to go into the middle set of hooks, and I wear it on the tightest hooks if I go dancing (fairly athletic - lindy hop and balboa). It still does move with my breasts and give me the best shape of all "non-enhancing" bras.
