Very stretchy cups and good projection, considering it didn't fit at all. The underwire was about an inch too wide for me, but a surprisingly good shape for relatively narrow and projected breasts, so I'm hoping going down in the band will give me a better idea of the fit and support. The stretchy lace on top was comfortable when I tried to pull it into the correct position on my ribs, even though it made me spill out and gave some quad-boob. The wires rode up and sat on my breast tissue above the intramammary fold, and every time I moved, I fell out of the bottom ... a little more, so I can't speak to wire comfort.

If the cups were bigger, I think it would actually give pretty good coverage, with decent depth. Feels a little flimsy, though, and the fabric seemed to already be pilling slightly as I pulled it out of the package, but for 20 USD, it's very pretty and a good shape. Definitely makes me want to try more stretch lace bras. I do wish there was another row of hooks. This might also be a good bra for women with slightly broader shoulders than mine, as the straps sat very wide on me (above the crease of my armpit) and seemed to pull the cup slightly out of shape, causing some mild gapping at the very edges.

This is my first foray into properly sized and properly shaped bras after a lifetime of trying to fit into 36C and (more recently) 38D bras that were way too shallow. Definitely giving me some confirmation that this style will be better for my full on top, close-set, pendulous breasts. The cups felt really comfortable and soft on my breasts, so depending on how supportive it turns out to be once I try a properly fitting one, I think it'll be a good choice for the parts of the month where my breasts are extremely large and tender. (Right now I'm trying it at my smallest part of the month where they feel pretty unremarkable.)

Delamira is a sub-brand of La Isla and is made in China. The materials are all very soft and really for $17 on Amazon Prime one could do a lot worse.

It's way too big because I wasn't paying attention to how the sizes run and ordered wrong. The cup sizes as listed go: C(3rd) D(4th), DD(5th), E(6th), F(7th), G(8th), H(9th). Kind of like UK sizes without the double letters. So while I usually wear index size 34:9 or 36:8, this bra is 36:9, and a generous 36:9 at that. I also ordered the 34H so I'll be interested to see ... if it fits.

It's a 2-part cup, so no vertical seam in the bottom. The lace and cottony lining fabric, while not exactly stretchy, seem to have some give so it may not be a problem for me in a smaller size. There are 3 hooks in this size which gives a secure feeling. The band is stretchy satin knit with elastic top and bottom which causes a few more bulges in my back squish. The straps aren't so great. They're firm and slick elastic, slippery enough to slide through the regulators during the course of the day.

But like I said, it's $17 and I need another beige bra to put in the rotation. This one has to go back but I'm hoping a smaller size will work.
