First, this is a super-tight band. It felt fine when I put it on, but after an hour or so of wear it was so painful I stopped at Target and bought an extender. I'd planned to use the extender to help me break in this bra, but in the end, I don't think it ever would have stretched out much. If I'd liked the bra, I'd have probably tried to exchange it for a 38E. I tried one on in the store and it was much more comfortable, without sacrificing much support. I did notice that with the extender, or in a looser band, my breasts seemed to look a little saggy. I couldn't get a good uplift without having the band painfully tight, and that can't be fixed by breaking in the bra.

The bra is pretty cute, especially for such a basic style. I did cut off the cute little trim at the bottom of the cups. While adorable, after only a few minutes it transformed from cute trim to "ow, poky things."

Ultimately, this was not the bra for me. I prefer more of a balconette style, and this just had too much coverage at the top of the cup. I couldn't wear most of my shirts with this bra, because the cup showed on my smaller side. The cup extended so high that it ended up leaving a lot of cup unfilled up by my armpit. It didn't gape, but it didn't give a flattering shape either. For ladies who like a more full-coverage style this will probably be a plus.

The upside of this bra is that the lightweight spacer foam really is nice and breathable. I gave it one last chance on a miserable 100 F-degree day, and my breasts didn't get sweaty. However, the spacer foam is available on other bras with a cut I like better, so the best reason to keep the bra around is moot.
