This model is the "Sheer Enough" bra.

I've had this bra for a couple of years now, and honestly I don't wear it very often. There's two main reasons for that. #1: the gore is too tall for my close-set shape and it sits on my breasts. Or, if I force it to sit on my sternum, it's quite uncomfortable and causes spillage above the gore. #2: the materials used aren't particularly soft: exposed elastic, exposed zig-zag stitching, and moderately scratchy fabrics.

* Single layer mesh all around, cups and band...except for the middle of the cups which is stretch lace (its' stretchiness matches the rest of the cups, so that's good).

* The band has a scoop back rather than a straight band, and seems to be shaped to accommodate a V torso. So back bulge is a minimum, despite having only two hooks. (Oddly enough, I actually get the least amount of back-bulge with a gate-back, or single hook band.) The top edge of the band has clear elastic, the bottom has traditional bra elastic.

* Cups are two-way stretch, without inner slings. Very good projection, separation, and really good support. Provides a nice rounded shape. Good for unevenness, or size fluctuations. The lace in the cups are not overlayed on top of the mesh, but rather spliced into it with zig-zag stitching. (The support from the wires is so good that slings are unnecessary.) IMO, the cups do seem to run a half cup small. They feel tight, like a 32:6, even though I don't get any quadding, except for the previously mentioned tall gore.

* Fully adjustable, stretch elastic edge at the top of the cups.

* Strong, long wires, wrapped in flocked casing, but no padding to soften against the stiff metal. The channels are 1/2" longer than the wires, which allow the wires to shift themselves up to the top of the gore. (I may try stitching across wire channels at the gore to prevent that, as long as it doesn't cause pain under the arms.)

* 3/4" wide center-pull straps. Gold tone hardware.

* Probably not a very durable bra. If I wore it more often, either the lace or mesh on the cups would probably have torn by now, but otherwise the lace has pilled only a little in the few times I've worn & washed it.

* Speaking of the lace, it WILL show under a thin top, as do firm nipples.

* It's a good summer bra, since the fabric is so light and breathable, which is why I bought it. But then because I also wear thinner tops in summer, the lace also shows, which happens to be a pet-peeve of mine.
