I *think* bought this bra about 10 years ago, maybe a bit sooner. Honestly at the time it barely fit. I think I was well on my way to being a 34H at that point. But it was so cute I couldn't resist! And it fit well enough, but definitely wasn't perfect. My breasts were soft, heavy, pendulous, with average-to-narrow roots and center-to-top fullness. They sat comfortably in the cups and didn't *quite* spill over, instead kind-of freely wobbling up top, but staying nice and secure along the bottom and sides. The underwire was generally fine, but both it and the straps dug in a bit if I ... wore it all day. It was thus a "special occasions" bra. Then I gained some weight and my cup size grew exponentially, and this bra vanished into a drawer with a thought that maybe if I lost the weight my boobs would come along for the ride and I could wear it again.

I was a 34J when I got my breast reduction earlier this year. My breasts changed dramatically in shape as well as size. They're now semi-shallow, a tiny bit firmer than before, with wide roots and bottom fullness. I'm just now in the phase of my recovery when I can start exploring my new breast size, and after getting a new starter size of 34F from A Bra That Fits, this bra immediately sprang to mind. Lo and behold, it actually fits quite well! On the center hook the band is snug without cutting into the skin (coincidentally, I'm now approximately the same weight I was when I bought it), and the straps sit comfortably & securely on my shoulders. The cups are just a tiny bit too big, but not in a way that bothers me. When standing, I notice a small wrinkle along the outside bottom of the cups, but it doesn't feel loose at all. When sitting down, the tops of the cups billow a bit, but not so much that it feels like I'm swimming in it. The side support, which I definitely still need, is excellent either way, and the underwire feels almost molded to my exact root shape and width! My breast reduction has promoted this bra from "special occasions" to "everyday wear"!

So in conclusion, I wouldn't recommend this bra for my former breast shape, but highly recommend it for my current one!

I love that this bra comes in pistachio green. It is okay is terms of support, but a little shallow in the cups for me. The center gore is low and pokey.

I bought this bra used, and despite being a couple years old, it is still an attractive bra, with few visible signs of use. I really like the small polka dot print, and the striped ruching looks a little nautical. Very cute. This bra has a typical full-cup 3 piece construction, and does not give the type of uplift that a balconette typically will. The look is more natural, but still rounded rather than pointy. It is very comfortable, but the cup size is a bit too big for me.

Because it came to me used, I can't comment on how its dimensions might have changed since it was new, but it is a very comfortable and sturdy bra.

I love this bra so much, even though it's 4 years old and is a bit loose on the tightest hook. Everything else about it is lovely: the cups are a good balance between coverage and cleavage, it's supportive, comfortable, the straps mostly stay put. When it was new, the band was a little too tight and the wires pressed into my sternum, but that eased with time.
