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.

This bra is very soft and comfortable. The cups are made of a flexible memory foam, the gore is also made of a foam-like material, and there is padding in the shoulder straps as well. Like other Natori bras I've owned, I find the band to have quite a bit of stretch. It is probably looser than is ideal for me, but I am anticipating that my ribcage will expand during this pregnancy. The cups give a very rounded shape, and the foam definitely adds some volume, which I don't mind but isn't necessarily what I'm looking for. This definitely gives a more ...matronly look, particularly in the cafe color, but it is most definitely comfortable.
Update: After wearing for a few hours, I noticed that the bra was shifting around a bit. As I have noticed in the past, Natori makes bras with very stretchy bands. I probably really should be in a 34 band in this bra. Truthfully, I felt a little rushed by the salesperson at a specialty bra store, who seemed to hold to the belief that sizing is consistent across brands, which is definitely not true. This bra is quite a bit bigger than the 36DD Chantelle bra I bought the same day in both the band and the cups. I noticed that the wires are also more flexible on this bra than on other bands, which I think resulted in a tendency for them to splay out more as I was wearing it. Read more 154 more words
Fits me well, the underwire doesn't jab at me, and my boobs stay where they're supposed to. This one is a winner. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
It works well under tees. The wings and band do a great job of holding things in and creating a smooth line. I am unable to fill the upper cups - when I bend over or twist my torso, the empty cup creates a line and shows through my shirts.
My shape: soft, deflated, full on bottom with tall shallow top, measure to 36E
Pros: -So comfortable and free of any decoration or lace for those not-so-frilly days -My go-to bra for long days or work or that week during the month when you have extra swelling --Full cup bras are hard to fill on top with my shape, so it technically doesn't fit but it doesn't show through clothes
Cons: -I have never attempted to wear this as a sports bra, it seems like a regular full cup bra to me. Honestly not sure why its marketed this way. - The thin silky fabric gives a natural shape, which for me is a bit pointy without any help from padding.
This bra is very comfortable except for the center gore. It digs into my sternum at the top. The seams along the tops of the cups dig in ever so slightly as well, while the rest of the cup fits fine. The band is definitely too big. It's marked 36DD but the band stretches to 38 inches.
This bra is smooth and comfortable. The band is a bit snug but I like that. It doesn't really streach out all that much. I'm still on the loosest hook and I've had it for almost a month. When I was given this bra to try on at first I was a little concerned. It looks like a Full Coverage bra and those DO NOT work for me, but I was surprised how well this fit. I would recommend this bra for Full on Bottom ladies.
