This review is for my first and, at the time of writing, only "real" bra which I bought after measuring myself for the first time and making an educated guess as to which model/brand to buy, but hopefully it'll still be helpful.

The band fit great, comfortable and snug, and it did feel supportive. I have small, narrow shoulders and the straps weren't a problem either; they adjusted as needed and sat comfortably without slipping or digging in. The cups were soft and pretty, and the underwire encased my breasts comfortably at the root, as far as I can tell: no poking into my armpits, no cutting off of breast tissue.

I do believe I may have a sizing/shape issue as the cups do wrinkle across the front always, and although the top of the cup lies flush against my skin when I'm standing or sitting straight, there's noticeable space the moment I slouch or lean foward slightly. I also noticed that even though the underwire seemed shaped correctly for my breasts, the wire didn't feel very supporitve of them; it felt like the bra was flattening my breasts, not lifting them.

Unfortunately, the only real gripe I have about the bra itself is a pretty major one: The ends of the underwire in the center gore were way too high, possibly too close together, and pressed painfully into my sternum, even after attempting to readjust the straps to rectify the problem (which only resulted in ill-fitting straps). Even if the bra were a perfect fit, I don't think I'd keep it for that reason.

If I were to try this bra again, I think I'd try a 28D as opposed to a 28DD to see if that eliminated the wrinkling cups.
