The fit and comfort stunned me when I first put this on. It's extremely comfortable once broken in. Cup shape works well with my tall roots and has a bit of stretch that helps accommodate asymmetry. The 3-hook band provides smooth, even support, although the tape could stand to be a bit plusher. Wires are wider than Simone Perele. The straps are quite wide set and may chafe in the armpits a bit where they meet the cup when new. Part of the strap has limited stretch due to lace applique, and this may also chafe if tightened too much. Fortunately, these straps do a good job of staying in place despite being a bit too wide for my petite frame. Overall, nicely constructed with fine, neat stitching.

Note that this bra is convertible to halter, but is not designed to be worn criss-cross: the adjustable portion of the straps is too short. It might work if I could find a compatible clip and sew my own extensions. Also, when worn as a halter, the straps were a bit too long for me. It was easy to alter by picking the seams, cutting off one lace circle on each strap, and re-sewing the strap to shorten. For the price, I think they should have included a second, longer set of extension straps to enable criss-cross wear, or designed the straps to be fully removable so one could replace with a longer, stretchier set.

I have mixed feelings about the appearance of this bra. On the one hand, I think the lines are beautiful and the shape it provides is top-notch and very confidence-boosting. On the other hand, the appliqued dots are definitely a more modern, minimalist aesthetic and aren't particularly gorgeous. I don't totally love the look, but it does a good job of offering some accents that work well with strappy tops while keeping things smooth as a T-shirt bra.
