This is an extremely comfortable wired bra. The fabric is buttery soft and stretchy and the wires are not overly firm. Very different feel than Elomis or Sculptress. It moves with me and feels like a gentle hug on my boobs. It sacrifices some support and lift for comfort, but I will take it! It gives me decent support, much better than my current wireless bralettes. If I ever wanted more support, I'd need something with firmer fabric.

It is NOT a molded bra, despite the name. It has a 3-part seamed cup underneath (1 diagonal seam, 1 vertical) with a layer of lace over the top which covers ... up the seams. It feels like a molded bra because it is so soft and stretchy, and the seams don't show through clothing because of the lace overlay. The lace is pretty flat and stretchy, so I only see a bit of texture under a fitted sweater. Nipples show through this a bit. It's basically a soft, lined fabric cup.

Because the bra is so stretchy, it ran on the bigger side for me. I'm normally a 40E/F UK and 40s are pretty snug on me (in Elomi for example). This 40 is a bit big on me and I have to hook it on the 2nd loosest hook from new, which isn't ideal. It's so stretchy I could even easily hook it on the tightest hook from new but not wear it comfortably like that. I tried a sister size, 38G, but it dug in a bit under the wires on the loosest hook so I'm staying with this even though it might not last me too long.

This is the equivalent of a 40E UK (Chantelle uses French sizing which is similar to US) and I have a little emptiness in the top of the cups, especially on my smaller breast. So the cup size is also on the larger side for me, but it is acceptable. The gore floats a tiny bit at the top because I am close-set, but it feels comfortable.

Overall, I think this might be the first wired bra I can wear after medical/pain issues and surgery so I'm excited! I haven't worn it for a full day yet so we'll see how it goes.

UPDATE: After wearing it on and off for about a week I am feeling less enthusiastic about this bra. The band rides up over time and when I move certain ways, and sometimes the top of one wire digs into the area under my armpit. I have to frequently adjust it for it to remain comfortable.
