This is my favorite bra.

It's not my best-looking bra. It doesn't give me the best shape. But it is straight up the most comfortable bra I own. Natori uses this incredibly soft, comfortable material in a lot of their bras, including this one.

The wires are the perfect width for me, and the cups are a nice depth. Also, the material of the cups (lace over mesh) is quite stretchy, so it'll stretch to adjust to the shape of your breasts if they're reasonably firm.

The shape in this bra is probably the biggest downside. I have self-supporting breasts and it really doesn't do anything for me shapewise; if anything ... the shape is reminiscent of not wearing a bra for me, with a little bit of smoothing. Not much lift. But I forgive it because it is so damned comfortable. The lace is fairly flat, so I found it doesn't show under clothes.

In D and below this comes in a somewhat narrower band with 2 hooks, but at DD the band gets wider and goes to 3 hooks. I normally wear a 36D but was told that this bra runs small in the cup, and the 36DD fits me a bit better -- the 36D flattened my breasts a bit, although I didn't get any quadboob (I assume because my breasts are fairly firm and the cups are fairly stretchy). I vastly prefer the wider band, though -- I find it rolls less, and I have a major issue with bands rolling up.

Another sizing note: I've found Natori to run very stretchy in the band, and this is no exception. The band is plenty snug enough to hang onto me, but it stretches a lot. I don't generally have a problem with bands riding up because my breasts don't exert much downward pull on my bras, but if you tend to have bands ride up you might want to at least try on a bandsize down.
