After feeling a bit sorry to let this style go at my first try (30D - Betsey Johnson Intimates » Eyelet Lace Demi Bra (723325),
I found another one in my size for cheap and decided to give it another go. As I remembered, it's super comfy. The band is so stretchy! The cups fit well and produce that nice mounded-hills look I like under buttoned blouses. Still not good for under tight t-shirts -- the lace shows through. The pink bows look okay enough in a picture, I guess, but on my actual body they left me feeling like Little Bo Peep. So I cut them off, and I like the look much better.

For about three months this was my favorite regular-wear bra. Then, to my horror, I saw that the elastic in the mesh at the sides of the bra has started to decay -- little pale dots of elastic thread are starting to appear all over the black mesh, like an evil and slightly sticky dust. I still like the fit and shape of the bra, but it's very disappointing to see the material breaking down so soon. By contrast, I have a couple of Natori @Feathers that have seen heavy use over the last five years, and although the colors have faded a little they show nothing like this kind of structural failure.
