i think i picked this up on ebay, pretty sure as new without tags, but cant remember 100%. originally, i figured i would use it as a work bra, since it would likely be a bit too big in the band and the cut of this bra isn't the perfect fit for me. that way, i wouldn't mind getting it possibly stained from the black t shirts i wear. it fits better than i expected, and i can wear it comfortably as a day to day bra with only minor issues.

the first issue is that the band is too large. on the tightest hook, it stays pretty stable, ... but i do have to tug it now and then. i would do better in a 32G with some time for the band to break in. the material of this band is also an issue for be. its the type where there are two thicker strips of elastic that border a very thin stretchy piece, and those always curl under or over on me when they are snug enough to provide support. i prefer one uniform material that is sturdier, and am thinking about the possibility of adding that to this bra if it isnt too much of a project.

the straps are slightly too wide for me, and combined with a band that is a bit too lose, means they slide off my shoulders now and then. the gore is also too wide, so it sort of moves side to side a bit as it tries to find room to settle flat. this causes some gaping in the cups, and is just plain annoying. i think if i narrowed the gore, the straps might stay put better, and i wouldn't get the gaping either.

the pattern im not crazy about. i wish it came in something more white shirt friendly, but i wasn't picky when i got this. all in all, it gets the job done and didn't break the bank doing it. i can work all day and move around freely, and only have to adjust minimally.

This fit well when I initially got it but it doesn't anymore. However, it was very cute & comfortable and great for getting me closer to a bra that actually fits.

Band is very stretchy. May have to size down in the band. Fabric is very soft and comfortable.

Pretty bad shape missmatch - it sort of looks OK, because the bottom of the cup is too shallow and my boobs shove it down about an inch to get enough room. In consequence, the wires don't support me at all, the cup barely covers my areola, and there is now a fold in the bottom of the cups.

This bra gives great uplift and is really comfy after repeated wearing. But the wings are just too short for me. I'm wide and tall-rooted, I think, and I have a noticeable bulge of sideboob in this bra. I'm going to have to pay close attention to the recorded height of wings in future.

**EDIT** ive fixed the band measurement for this to a stretched band of 33. i was pulling way too much originally, and have since decided that i should measure how far they stretch WITHOUT deforming the wires. so, it goes to 33 before the ends of the wire start to look like they will deform.

im not sure what to think of this bra- ive only worn it about 4 times and it seems like it fits some of the time, and other times i get a bruise from getting stabbed in the armpit from the tip of the under wire. i set the wire length as 11 because ... that's how high the channel goes, but the actual wire only seems to go to 10- there's a weird empty inch and i think that's why im getting issues.

i wouldn't call this "padded"- it has a thick lining, but there is no discernible padding to me. the look isn't my favorite- i'm not crazy about plaids or the pastel greens and pinks/purples, but it was very inexpensive at Nordstrom's so i figured it was worth a try.

it seemed to fit at first, with just a tiny bit of gaping on the smaller side outer edge. Upon getting it home and fiddling a bit, i realized i hadn't been scooping the best and i notice now a bit of overflow when i fully scoop. The open half cup design and my having little upper fullness make it more forgiving. Since the overflow is very little, i think sizing up a cup would lead to a worse fit with a lot of gaping. The straps aren't comfortable,there's a very large seam in the middle of the strap on the side that touches skin and i just feel it scraping no matter how the strap is adjusted.

although bratabase says this is "firm" in the band, and the other 32s register not stretching much past 32 inches, i can easily stretch this band to 34 and a little beyond. I don't know if i got a stretched out version or what, but i tried this in may size combinations, and the 34 bands always felt like thy were too loose and un supportive, even though i measure currently about 35 inches around and the added bras suggest they go just to that. i don't wear a super firm band, so im confused as to whats happening. On the loosest hook it feels snug to me but not uncomfortable.

I'll probably be selling this off once i get a better bra. its alright for now and better than my others, but by no means a great bra for me.

I have a wide root and shallow boobs. I do need flat cups but not extraordinary wide wires. I almost don't have any volume on top. I usually wear this bra when my boobs are smaller during the first weeks after my mestruation.

I altered this bra to something in between 28D/30C now it's well fitting. The wires are quite soft and extend easily. In my opinion it is really comfortable due to the light and soft padding. The bras main colour is a light warm green even though it appears to be yellow at some stock photos.

** This review is based on trying on the bra once. **

This is another one where the 30F comfortably fits my smaller breast, but there's overspill in the larger. In particular, because the center gore is rather low, my larger breast spills into the middle. I have close-set, projected breasts, and I think I need narrower gore and/or deeper cups.

An interesting note about this bra is that it is very open on top, so I actually get gapping on my smaller breast when leaning forward. This could probably be remedied by tightening the straps if I cared to (the too-small cup on the other side can't helped, though.)

It is comfortable and cute. I like the style--it's not stiffly padded, just a light foam lining. Wish it fit better.

I love this style (obviously, since I have it altered down to a 30GG), but in 32G the band is too big than I'd like it to be. I'm not swimming in it, but I prefer firmer bands. Everything else about the bra fits great, and I've worn it a couple times with a Rixie Clip, but I found an altered one, so I can pass this one on.

Bought this off Braswap, it was altered. I like how it fits more than my 32G unaltered in the same color and style.
