Plunge version of Retro Basic.

This bra is discontinued.
This is one of my favorite bras. It's much more supportive than I expected, despite having only one row of hooks in the back. It's also so comfortable that I almost forget I have it on. Definitely a bra I plan to re-purchase.

The good:
Smooth feel
Works well as a t-shirt bra
Cleavage is good, like the deco but softer
strap placement is good
low gore
The bad:
This doesn't fit me so I don't know but it seems a bit small in the cups and big in the ban

This bra is a great basic. I took a gamble on it, not knowing really if it would fit or not, especially with this being my first bra in a 28E. I have to say, it fits wonderfully! The wires are the closest I've gotten to a perfect width yet, and come up plenty high under the arms. No cleavage, thanks to the shape of the cups, but even without being a molded cup, I think this will be a good option as a t-shirt bra in the summertime - It gives a nice, rounded-natural shape under clothing and is very comfortable. I was a little apprehensive about the band only having one row of hooks, but it feels quite secure, even on the loosest hooks.

I absolutely love this bra except I need a bigger cup size.

The one-hook skinny band gives little support and the low gore dug into my chest a bit. The cups were a bit small and caused some quad-boob. I think that is due to the shape of my breasts though. I am learning that I do not do well with plunge bras. This bra does give a nice up lift though even if my boobs are too far apart to form any cleavage at all.

I recently got measured as a 28DD and needed to buy a new bra. Seemed like a good fit at first (Certainly better than the 32A I was in before!) But it still seems quite wonky!
I seem to over fill one cup completely, and then don't have enough boob for the other cup! Also seems to dig into my armpit area, pushing some boob or just armpit fat around in a weird way.
It does give a nice cleavage, but it's a little lumpy to wear under tshirts.

Nice back on this. It's a little bit more decorative. Only one hook though - not a problem for me, but I can see how someone with a bigger chest might not like it. The straps were a little resistant to being shortened, so they might be okay at staying the same length over time.
First time wearing this I thought I was wearing the wrong band size. It felt way too tight. Going by measurements, it's the tightest one I own. After wearing it a little bit it feels more comfortable, but it's still tight.
The cups have a sort of vertical wrinkle to them, from the strap ... attachment down to the nipple. Tightening the straps only made this wrinkle worse. Lengthening them made the cup start to gape away from my chest.
The shape is a little pointy for me. The straps also fit a little wide. I always feel like I'm pulling them up.
Overall I'd say it feels both too big and too small at the same time. I'm starting to spill over on my bigger side, but the cups gape open when I slouch over.
Also, despite the description, this is not a padded bra. There is absolutely nothing in there to pad it out. Feels like a soft cup to me.

Very comfortable. My favourite bra. Nice rounded shape with some uplift. Spills out of the sides a little. Straps unravel after a few washes(maybe 15-20).

Band is a bit too loose, I wear it on the tightest hook. Cups are shallow, but I guess this was the intention, because of that the bra gives a great shape and is perfect for low neckline tops. Straps are far too wide. The bra is plain, it does have the 'retro' look. Wires stiff, don't stretch.
