The straps are too wide for my frame, also tightening the straps enough to be supportive makes it painful for my shoulders, cup is wide but not as wide as Zara's. The band doesnt really do any of the work. I understand bralette's are hard to find for bigger chests, but I also dont want ones that hurt my shoulders and arent supposrtive at all. I dont think this is enough for even lounging. This does seem like it would be a good option for nursing, because by lowering a shoulder strap, the whole cup can come away on either side.
It was nice that this is one ... of the few bralettes I've tried that hasnt pushed my breasts into my armpits a lot, however Im normally a 34HH and this 34J almost seems like a cupsize too small, not too large. (After measuring, the bust perimeter on this is 44.25 inches, not 47 inches like I would expect from a J cup, so I would recommend sizing up in the cup if possible) The first cup nicely supports the bottom of the other breast with the tail that crosses down to the band, however on the second cup the tail follows the other side's cup up and then sort of cuts into the tissue of that breast. It's like a one-sided quad boob effect that isnt attractive at all. The apex of the cup is definitely sitting too far east/west
I think if the straps crossed in the back it would solve a lot of the support issues, as the cups seem to de designed to hold strain from a cross-wise direction, not straight back. As it is, the shoulders holding the strain in this way make this uncomfortable enough I really dont want to lounge in it.
The outer fabric is wonderfully soft and smooth, compared to that, Im a little sad the inner bra is just like a meh- jersey fabric. I'm happy that for a lounge-bra the company didnt add weird details on the side of the bra for my arm to rub against.
The hook&eyes are the same blue color as the rest of the bra.
