I wore this bra almost daily for eight months - this was my go-to bra. Finally, when the band loosened too much, I altered the centre gore, which made it tighter and also created more uplift and slightly more room in the cups, making for a better fit.

Pre-alteration:
The bra was comfortable, created a nice round shape, and had natural lift. Because it's unpadded, it doesn't add any unnecessary bulk. The band is firm and on the tighter side for a 32, but it worked well for me as I was able to start on the farthest hooks. The underwires didn't dig anywhere and the straps ... were wider, soft, and comfortable. The bra pressed in ever so slightly at the top (i.e quadrabooob), but sizing up would have made the cups far too big for me, so 32H it was.

Post-alteration:
Taking in the centre core when the band had stretched out made the bra even better! The band is very tight now (I'm actually using an extender to add one column of hooks for the moment), but very supportive. Taking in the gore turned the cups so that my breasts are more uplifted than before, there is more room in the cups (no quadraboob!), and the gore now lies flat against my sternum.

Alternation success!!
