I've been looking for something non-wired to wear around the house or when I want some support without a full bra (like at the movies or whatever, where I'm leaning back so underwires would dig in). I got this from another bratabase user, and wow!

It's perfect for me, or at least what I want it for. I marked the gore as floating, which is true, but it's impossible for the gore to tack due to it being a soft cup. The previous user's said that the cups come up too high for them, but it's fine for me. The cups come up as high on the sides as my ewa michalak PLs which are slightly too wide for me, but not uncomfortable. Somehow even without a real gore, it keeps my super-close-together boobs pretty separate, in a comfortable way.

It does give a pointy shape. I guess this is due to the construction of the bra, but it's more of a natural shape and somewhat similar to the pointiness of non-padded freyas.

The band has 6 hook and eye columns, assuming for when your ribcage expands during pregnancy. I'm not pregnant, so I am comfortably wearing it on the 2nd to tightest hook, which is fine for a lounging bra, especially considering that I have a 26" underbust. Plenty of support for sub-28 bands!

The lace itself is very pretty, and it's definitely a step up from crappy sports bras and the like.

The cups are really, really wide. It doesn't matter much because there's no underwire, but it does shift the apex more to the side than I'd like. I may try to alter the 'gore' to be narrower to see if I can bring the apex to where I need it to be.
