This is a great bra for those possessing shallow breasts that sit farther apart. It's a flattering cut, and the cotton is more comfortable that I was expecting though it'd probably be less so on hot, humid days.

This may be my favorite strapless bra. A rubberized strip runs along the top and bottom of the band so it doesn't shift when wearing. No matter how much you jump, skip, or bounce, this thing isn't gonna budge. It comes with removable straps and I suggest going without; they're cheap and just get in the way. There's very little stretch due to the lace overlay. The only flaws are that after a while it can start to itch; it leaves noticeable grooves when removed; and under some shirts (namely cotton) the lace catches the material, creating a roll or shelf effect. I just adjust it and move on. But for the right clothes, this is a godsend.

Very pretty bra, but I can't see myself wearing it for long periods of time. The band is stretchy but even on the loosest hook, it's too tight. Because of the padding, there's gaping at the top of the cups and the material is itchy. The balconette cut makes my boobs look great, though.

This is a decent push-up that would work well under T-shirts. The heavy padding can't be removed. The straps detach so it can be worn many ways. It's a little snug but that helps when going strapless. The wire digs in under my right arm which causes some bulging on that side, but it's hardly noticeable. Should get some mileage out of this one.

These actually come in sizes XXS - XXL. I got it in small, which is supposed to cover 32B, 32C, 34A, and 34AA. And it was still too small for me. It has very little stretch and the lace is a little scratchy. Definitely size up if you're considering your own.

An uncomfortably tight fit and the cups were too close together. I realize it's meant to add a cup size, but c'mon. The underwire was painful and I was being squashed from all sides. I really wanted to like this one. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I have a feeling the straps are going to annoy my armpits, but the cups are surprisingly comfortable. I will play with the different strap configurations (it has two options in the back and two options in the front).

Tight band.

I love this bra, because the cups fit my boobs perfectly and it very comfortable, however the band is too big for me. It also stretches out very easily.

this bra was one of the first few that came close to fitting me, when i was trying 34D's. I now know I'm a 34DD bordering on DDD, with wide, spread out breast tissue. It was very comfortable for a while, but now is really too small, although i will go to it in a pinch if i need to. I would like to note that aerie bras seem to run at least a cup size small, as when i was comfortably fitting in 34DDs elsewhere, i would double boob in every single 34DD bra there, even unpadded and unlined.

Appearance: The color is a very pretty pink/coral, almost ... neon but much softer. its sort of hard to describe- the pictures don't match how it looks in person. the pink is mostly under the lace, except for a large sling of it on the outer portion of each cup that's made of a satin-ish material. That same material is used on the first half of the straps. The lace is a very stark white, with a large swirls/vine and floral pattern, and it ends in a small scallop on the bottom edge of the band and top edge of the cup. The gore has an oversize bow int he same coral/pink. I find it very pretty and youthful, and it made me feel pin up! This is definitely my style of bra. Unfortunately, you can tell its "cheap"- there already some fraying despite gentle treatment and infrequent wear, and the material doesn't feel the best against the skin. its not much of a surprise, considering the market is for teen and young adult girls.

Fit: The Reese is a demi cup, with a ballet back and apparently "perkiest" in rating on aerie. it has some padding along the outer side of the cup and lower bit, but nothing crazy. For me, i got a great lift and some cleavage, but not so much that it looked fake or overdone. it seems almost balcony though, as far as the shape of the cup looks on me.The ballet straps and wider band made it much more comfortable for me than most bras, although i do wish it were 3 hook so that it didn't taper down to a 2 hook so fast. It doesn't give much support and because of this i feel like i get more back bulge, and that combined with the cups running a bit smaller means i need to readjust for spillage often.

Because the first half of the straps are made of a more decorative satin type material, there is almost no give to them, and they cut in even when they stretch because theyre thin. there is a metal ring that connects the front and back half whch i often feel digging at my shoulder blade. This also means its only half adjustable.

For a young girl, these bras are probably best. Like most aerie bras, this isnt made of the highest quality material, and runs about a cup size small. It seems suited to a smaller framed person who wont need to depend on it for long. The plus side is that there are a ton of different patterns available, and almost always bras at aerie are on sale. its a great idea for someone who doesnt want to spend a ton on a bra just to grow out of it, but still wants a cute one. I cant see a woman wanting these, if only because of how poor the quality is- it probably wouldnt last very long.

This bra is extremely comfy but it's absolutely not even close to the correct size for me. The band is quite stretchy and it is still too big for me even on the tightest hook. On the loosest hook and before adjusting the cups, the cups appear to gape as if they are too big but after scooping and swooping, they are clearly too small. After wearing it throughout the day, my boobs escape and the cups gape again.

I love this bra, but my boobs outgrew this, too. It is just a tad small for a 32C, but I think that is due to the padding in the pushup. It still is very elastic and has a strong stretch which is good for people that want their bras to stay in place. It is one of the most comfortable push up bras with an underwire that I've ever owed, too bad they don't sell my size in these.

This bra is a disaster. Way over padded, the wires don't run very high on the side and the cups are really short. All this creates a ton of cleavage but the tops of the cups don't lie flat and gape.

Arghh. Horrible. I thought this might work as light duty everyday bra, but it has the weirdest shape to the cups, very pointy and the top of the cup digs in. It fits a little better if I wear it with the straps crossed in the back but definitely not worth keeping. What I liked about Aerie is the bands tend to run on the small side so a 34 fits more like a 3,3 but some of there new bras have very stretchy bands that fit more like a 36 and the new cup shapes just don't seem to work for me. I think I'm giving up on Aerie for a while and wait for them to release some new designs.

I love this bra, I love Aerie bras in general. They are very well made and beautiful. The bra has some push-up padding that is not removable, just an average amount of push-up, nothing crazy. This bra is new with tags, a beautiful green color. I never wore it, only tried it on. And just to clarify, I never did any alterations to it, it is in its original condition. Also to clarify on the strap width I listed - I listed the strap width as 0.5 inch. This bra has double straps (two over each shoulder), each strap measures approximately 0.25 inch, so together there is 0.5 inch amount of strap on each shoulder. I hope that makes sense.

This bra is SO soft. It's made of cotton and spandex. I love the heather gray color. The cups are quite a bit deeper than my other Aerie bra, but this bra does not have the push-up padding. This bra does, however, have nice, thick padding - but not push-up. I love Aerie bras, I just wish they were made in my size. This bra is new with tags, never been worn, only tried it on.

I have this same bra in 36A, but I've learned that 34B's fit me better, except for this bra. Aerie changed the design of this bra somewhat form my older model, the material is much softer than before, but it's thinner and A LOT stretchier, which makes the band too loose. On the good side is the band is wider all the way around which is nice. The cups also give me kind of a pointy projection that I didn't get from the 36A, I may try a 32C and see if it's any better, but I'm guessing the cups will be too narrow for me in a 32. If you're any bigger than a C I don't think this will give you enough support.

I really wanted to like this bra, it's comfortable and smooth but it's got a funny shape to the cup. The wires are quite long for a 34B and dig in at the top of the side a little. The band is really stretchy too, so if you're bigger than a C cup you probably won't find enough support from the band. I filled out the cup well but it is closed at the top a bit and it creates a small quad boob. For an unpadded bra it really projected my breasts nicely and captured every last bit of breast tissue in the cup, it just has a funny shape that I can't really explain, not pointy, nicely rounded but it's just off.

The bra is very comfortable but the cups are a little small and the band too large for me. I would recommend if you find a size that fits. It gives a good amount of perkiness without looking fake. It is also very pretty.

This bra was only okay for me. The underwire poked in under my arms and at the sternum. It does not come in 30C or I would have tried that. It is plain. The band was comfortable.

This bra is a pretty, albeit kind of plain, nude lace strapless. It is ever so slightly too small for me, but not really enough for me to quad out of it (though I probably would if it had straps). The band is definitely too large but it is wearable. Also, even though it is lace, it is actually pretty seamless under T-shirts.
