Alright, now that I've had a chance to wear this bralette a couple times, plus make one small change, I'm confident in my assessment of it. My size on paper is 26FF, and my shape is narrow and tall roots, with evenly full, firm tissue.

When I received this bralette, I was surprised at how small the band looked when I took it out of the box (we'll get to that). The colour is more of a turquoise as opposed to a true green (the pics on my bedspread are the most accurate for colour). We'll start with the pros. It is made of extremely soft materials (lace, mesh, ... elastics), it fits me well enough (although the cups are just on the verge of being too small), and is very supportive.

Cons: there were lots of loose threads and one or two random small chunks of the mesh, like trimmings, that were poking out of the bra when I received it. Most of the threads and mesh weren't actually attached, and were able to be freely pulled out of the seams. Next, being a pullover style, it's actually quite snug to get over my shoulders, but it fits well enough once it's in the proper place. I just need to be mindful when taking it on and off. The cups are on the edge of being too small. I get very slight quadboob on my larger side, plus my boobs are pushed together when wearing it, as it doesn't provide any sort of separation. Lastly, the tag was actually a bit itchy when I first got it, but I used my seam ripper to gently remove it. Now the band is much softer and more comfortable to wear.

MORE: The letters they use for sizing are slightly confusing, IMO. I got a Petite, and on the tag it says from top to bottom: P, TP, XP. But there is also an XS size, which would also probably list TP and XP on the sizing tag. Speaking of sizing, the bralette fits me pretty well. I'd say it probably can fit up to a 28 band, but I'd be wary depending on the width of your shoulders. As a 26FF, sister size 28F, this bralette is on the verge of being too small in the cups. It's also quite minimizing, which contributes to feeling well-supported, for better or for worse. The lace on the band extends below the elastic, giving it a sweet scalloped edge. It's extremely soft and doesn't irritate my skin, but it does ride up at the front if anyone cares about that. The cups are made up of three strips of lace running horizontally, so there is a lace edge running along the lower third of my boobs, and another lace edge running just above the apex of my boobs in the upper third. I'm sure this design contributes to the shape and support, but this can create lines under clothing (just another thing to be mindful of).

TL;DR: Very soft, supportive, minimizing bralette with a few minor quality control issues; you may have issues getting on and off if you have wide shoulders.

I already have the size small, but recently they expanded the sizes for this bralette and I thought I would try the xs since it is closer to my measurements. I like this bralette, it is comfortable and the band doesn't ride up. I think my boobs might spill out a bit once I have been wearing it for some hours and bending over, but I will have to see. Overall I like the fit of this one a lot more than the size small.

I'm always looking for bralettes that will 1. Actually fit me 2. Give me enough support that I would consider wearing it outside my house 3. Are cute! I was looking forward to trying this one because it is meant for smaller ribcage but larger breast shaped people. The size range still doesn't include my current size, as the S is supposed to fit 32-34 DD-F, and I'm 30FF. But I figured I would try it anyway, as it's a lot closer than the others I've tried. It fits my breasts without spill over, but the band is a little loose and the straps don't adjust all the way, so they're a little loose on me. I may alter it so they are a little tighter. This is always a problem for me on bras that don't have fully adjustable straps. Overall, I probably won't return it, but also probably won't buy another. I think I will wear it around the house and to yoga, but probably wouldn't wear it to work or anything like that.

This is actually a bralette and it is very nice. Provides just enough of a push up that I can wear it under normal clothing - most bralettes I can't. I love that the straps are extra wide to give more support. The main Cosabella site didn't have this size or sizing info for this size, which is strange. I got it on Zappos which said the XS would fit a 30DD and that seems accurate.

I’m technically outside Cosabella’s size range for this bra, but I decided to give it a try since I’d heard it was very stretchy. It IS very stretchy! If I move around a lot, the top can shift and create a little quadboob, but usually only if I’ve been leaning over. It’s not uncomfortable if it does cut in because the lace is so stretchy and ridiculously soft.

My only real complaint is that the lace below the band tends to roll up. This doesn’t affect the fit or the comfort, but it’s mildly annoying. With the lace being so soft, it’s not uncomfortable or itchy, so it’s not a huge issue.

This bralette is stretchy, soft, pretty, and a really good choice when you want light support. I have soft tissue, and this keeps everything lifted and contained, but the support is light enough that it’s still comfortable as a sleep bra if I want to wear it to bed.

I was looking for a comfy lounge bra to wear around the house and not feel exposed when greeting the delivery person at the door.

I grabbed this for a bargain on Amazon. A size SMALL might have worked better, but I was going for the sale.

The straps are partially adjustable, and surprisingly, not enough for my short/petite stature. My boobs were smooshed together and somewhat flattened.

I don't have all of my bras listed on Bratabase, but I have several underwire bras, Montell Flirt for one, that are more comfortable lounge bra options.

I'm returning this one.

note: I accidentally entered this bra in the wrong style # This is not the "curvy" 1310 bra, it is 1301.

Comfortable, does the job. Its slightly better fit than the Montelle Lace Bralette (30F) https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dnpyw/

I bought into the hype and got one. It doesn't give quite the same effect as what the smaller-busted can achieve, but it fits about as well as a bralette can. The underbust elastic is supportive, there's enough room in the bust, and the straps are thick enough to hold everything up. The rave reviews about the fit seem to be true, but I think the usual $80 price tag is quite steep for what they are. The stitching looks sturdy but not careful; there were small gaps in the mesh where the elastic met and some of the seams weren't aligned. Only time will tell about how they hold up.

I love these, I have multiple colorways. Not overated at all to my surprise, and extremely comfortable. Also supportive enough to feel comfortable with my silohuette in most shirts.
