    This bra is the only bra I have had over the last 5 years. I believe it's one of the better fitting bras that I have had. It doesn't pinch my sides nor does anything spill over. I don't get quad or cone boob either. I think the band is a tad too big but it's old and I've lost a bit of weight.

    Pros: price (on sale about $15), soft
    Cons: odd sizing (S/M/L, but vaguely based on bra size? Described further below.)
    In some of my first bra store encounters after self measuring based on the 4+ method, I managed to find this odd bra. Sizing was not band-cup, but S/M/L based on your size, and the tag had a vague sister size based chart for sizing. I thought I was a 34B, so I tried on the small. It is very comfortable, a blend of nylon and Lycra elastane, and is quite a "barely there" feeling of fabric. The straps are half-adjustable, but are of a suitable length. Another construction oddity ... consists of the attachment of the cup: it is a moulded cup, but is not directly attached to the bra the entirety of the underwire; it is covered by fabric in the front of the cup, and has the fabric binded around all the edges, and the fabric is well attached to the underwire. It has 4x2 hooks, so it could last a while, but the very elastic fabric is concerning, as it might stretch out faster.
    After alterations to the band to size it down, and to the gore to narrow it to fit me better, the bra fits differently, but acceptably until I have enough money to buy ones in the proper size.

    This is a perfect bra for every day especially if you need a boost, it has the right amount of padding.

    Comfortable every day nude bra that has a satin look and feel to it. Wore it under most of my summer shirts that were thin. Never placed it in the washing machine because I don't like the twisting and stretching it causes. Only hand washed this bra so it is still in great condition.

    This bra is very comfy and was my perfect nude bra for everyday use with my thin tanks and t-shirts in summer. I've grown to a bigger size and thus am seeking someone to take it off my hands.

    Obviously, this bra isn't my correct size, but it's the size I thought I was before I discovered the truth about my bras.

    The quality of this bra is okay at best. For as long as I've had it, it's still (mostly) in one piece. The underwires haven't poked through like many of my other ill sized bras. The straps are set too far apart for my comfort, so I've taken them off (and subsequently lost them). The band is super tight. Even though it's a 38, it measures to 32" unstretched. Ouch!
