This bra is so pretty and fits my wide/conical breasts well. It almost even gives me a hint of cleavage, which is nearly impossible with my breasts. Even though it's low cut, my areolae do not peek out.

This is a beautiful bra! I'm just not sure I have the right size. It is a 32C.
***The gore tacks perfectly and there is no gapping in the bottom or the tops of the cups.
***The band feels somewhat too loose on the loosest hook (I used to wear 34 A), but quite snug on the tightest - I can still pull the band about an inch away on the tightest hook, but there is some "fat" overflowing on the sides/back of the band when it is on the tightest hook. I also have the bones from my ribcage right underneath my breast tissue and I can ... really feel the pinching more on the ribs when the band is on the tightest hook.
***I do feel like there is a tiny bit of space at the very bottom of the cups. When I scoop and swoop my right boob can fall out of the cup, yet the left one fits quite well (my right is bigger).
***The sides of bra seem to cut into my "armpit fat" and it is kind of annoying and uncomfortable - but the bra may relax over time and I might just get used to it.
I feel like maybe I should try a 30 D or 30 DD perhaps....makes me nervous because I am so darn bony right underneath my breast crease. I like a lot of things about this bra but something seems off....I am also getting used to not wearing a padded push-up for once in my life - I have worn push-up bras almost exclusively for years!

This bra is my first effort to actually purchase a bra with a small enough band so that it actually...supports me, instead of just covering me.
I'm apparently a wide set 30D or 32C and I'm not very full at the top, so this bra was more or less the only one in stock at Nordstrom that fit me. Luckily, it's not a quite a solid foam t-shirt bra and it works with a lot of my clothes.
Wearing it for a couple of days, I can say it's fairly comfortable. After most of a day it starts to feel as if the band is too ... tight. I'll be interested to see if this works better as it stretches.
ETA, a month or so later - the Natori in 32C does fit me, but I'm finding that something about the underwire isn't quite right. Even though the wire seems to fall in the right place, it hurts at the outer side of the cup on the right after I've been wearing it for about half a day. I'm inclined to seek an alternate bra without an underwire...

This was largely an experiment. I'd lost some weight, especially in my boobs, and found myself able to fit into regular American-size bras. Still the very top of the spectrum, but I'll take it. I'd been coveting the Feathers for a while - Pretty! Lacy trim! Plunging neckline! And it fits, in the technical sense. It checks the boxes for cups, band, and it even takes the lead in the category of Not-Cutting-Into-My-Armpits, unlike SOME bras. (Ahem, pretty much every full-bust brand.) Yet, there's something a little lacking about it. Everything is very stretchy and flimsy and it ... just doesn't feel like its offering serious support. Under clothes, it looks just a little sad, unlike when I wear, say, my Cleo Lucy. Not much uplift or shaping going on with this. It's extremely comfortable, but leaves a bit to be desired in its purpose. Thus, my conclusion to this experiment is, even though I can it in regular bra brands, I would rather go with a full-bust brand since they seem to do a better job of actually being a bra. But I will wear this one around the house.

I fill out this bra well, and the band at 30 runs small enough for me to use the middle set of hooks despite fitting into a 28. The plunge on this gives me fantastic cleavage. I prefer demi or otherwise half cups, but these can get too low for me when my breasts are at their biggest and I have to adjust the mesh outer portion to cover myself a little higher. The inner portion of the cups stays just covering my nipple. On smaller days, it fits better.
Despite apparently being slightly too large for these cups (I think they may run a tish small), they do ... not cut in at the top edges because the fabric making the cups is very stretchy and the lace softens the edge. The lace is very pretty and makes my breasts look very nice, but it does show through on thinner shirts.
The bra as a whole is very lightweight and good for use in the summer time, which makes it a bummer that it shows through sometimes. I save it for my polo shirts and wear it often. I've had it for a few months now and it hasn't show any signs of wear.

I am in love with this bra! When i saw it on the hanger, i thought it was nothing special. but when the fitter at Nordstrom put it on me, I fell in love. It fits really well and feels very comfortable and light on my body. Really pretty, love the sheer details and the lace! Smooth under clothing.

The cup on this bra runs small. I had underarm boob, and slight quad boob. A pretty bra but doesn't encase everything it should.

It fits! Finally, a bra for work that does not have empty space in it. This is new so I cannot speak to how it will hold up over time, but it is so nice to finally find a shallow profile 32C in a contour bra, not heavy padding, just enough for work to make everything look smooth.
Pro: Perfect fit for my small (as in flat) but not narrow or pointy breasts. 32 fits comfortably around my ribcage, and the cups are the right size, in the right place, and finally the right volume as well, no gap or space at the top. Not busting out of it either, it fits just right.
Con: I think the band is a little big for a 32; can fasten it on the smallest hook when new. Expensive. Not many colors available.
Overall, very high recommend if you have similar shape.

Very pretty bra, but incredibly shallow. I have shallow breasts but this was the only bra I've found too shallow for me, and the wire dug in painfully under my breasts. The band runs a little small (I have a 31in underbust and the 32 was too small for me). The cups run maybe half a size small.

I like the fit except I do wish it had more support/coverage in the center. I really love that the band is quite firm as I am sizing up into a 30, instead of a preferred 28.

I agree with you. I love this bra. It's so comfortable and supportive. My best fitting bra. I want to get a couple more. :)
