I figured I would give this bra a try after the other reviews on this model said it was super comfortable. I chose the size based on the measurements they took and figured I could just take in the much too large band to get a cheap supportive bra. I don’t know if they took the measurements differently then me as I’m getting lower numbers on the cup measurements despite mine being a larger size. The band is actually larger so it’s not like I got send a smaller size overall. I took my measurements on the inside but even the outside measurements which are significantly larger due ... to the thickness of the padding are smaller then what they measured so I think it’s not just me doing my measurements wrong. Assuming they measured correctly that would mean inconsistent sizing from the manufacturer which wouldn’t surprise me.
As the cups are too small for me taking in the band won’t be worth my time. I wore it for one one day as is and I was pretty disappointed on the comfort level. Part of it is definitely caused by the band being much too large for me as it’s shifting around and irritating my skin because of it. But I think the bottom resting my belly/rib flare would be uncomfortable with a tight of enough band as well. If it would be a tiny bit longer it would probably be more comfortable, I’m thinking of trying the longline they have but I’m worried about the size being really inconsistent though. Meanwhile I’m planning on taking this one apart and using the parts for a next attempt at bra making.

ABTF 30G, very short-waisted, center full, close set, immediately projected, omega shaped, wide-shallow underarm tissue,...

Wide straps
1.4" wide, plush, fantastically supportive, comfortable straps. I love wide straps, and these are my all time favorites. If you prefer narrow straps, this bra will sorely disappoint. The straps can be crossed and are partially adjustable. This may not be ideal for low set and/or tall users. Otherwise, they are remarkably comfortable.

Wide band
Two layers of fine mesh combined with a 6x3 fastener creates amazing support. If you like thin Cleo/Panache bands, again, this bra is not for you. But, if you prefer a bra like a warm hug, this bra delivers. Six ... hooks, however, are more time consuming than two, but the weight of my breasts is painlessly distributed along this fabulously wide band, short band. The bands run two band sizes small. Size up. The manufacturer graciously includes a 6x3, color-matched extender with every bra, which may help some wearers.

Cups
How I wish the padding in these cotton lined cups was removable. It could be cut out....hmmm. The cup design presents a very forward projected silhouette. I prefer minimized forward projection and lining over padding. But, the cups are comfortable and the cotton lining is soft. They hold breast tissue front and center and create cleavage.

The cup volume is what I expected for a 38D. It fits similar to Wacoal 34DDD/36DD (both are sister sizes to 38D) push-up bras. The wire width from 36D to 38D is static at 5.8" . The cup width, however, increases from 8" to 8.8" 36D to 38D. These are shallow cups that have lots of center projection space. They are not ideal for tall roots, but accommodate shorter roots effortlessly.

My hope is: FallSweet will extend the range of their offerings. All women deserve a bra this comfortable.

Outstanding comfort and support, but too much padding/forward projection for my taste.

This bra was so comfortable despite its ill fit, I ordered another. Most supportive band and straps I've ever experienced!
