    Didn't fit

    This model is the "Sheer Enough" bra.

    I've had this bra for a couple of years now, and honestly I don't wear it very often. There's two main reasons for that. #1: the gore is too tall for my close-set shape and it sits on my breasts. Or, if I force it to sit on my sternum, it's quite uncomfortable and causes spillage above the gore. #2: the materials used aren't particularly soft: exposed elastic, exposed zig-zag stitching, and moderately scratchy fabrics.

    * Single layer mesh all around, cups and band...except for the middle of the cups which is stretch lace (its' stretchiness matches the rest of the cups, so ... that's good).

    * The band has a scoop back rather than a straight band, and seems to be shaped to accommodate a V torso. So back bulge is a minimum, despite having only two hooks. (Oddly enough, I actually get the least amount of back-bulge with a gate-back, or single hook band.) The top edge of the band has clear elastic, the bottom has traditional bra elastic.

    * Cups are two-way stretch, without inner slings. Very good projection, separation, and really good support. Provides a nice rounded shape. Good for unevenness, or size fluctuations. The lace in the cups are not overlayed on top of the mesh, but rather spliced into it with zig-zag stitching. (The support from the wires is so good that slings are unnecessary.) IMO, the cups do seem to run a half cup small. They feel tight, like a 32:6, even though I don't get any quadding, except for the previously mentioned tall gore.

    * Fully adjustable, stretch elastic edge at the top of the cups.

    * Strong, long wires, wrapped in flocked casing, but no padding to soften against the stiff metal. The channels are 1/2" longer than the wires, which allow the wires to shift themselves up to the top of the gore. (I may try stitching across wire channels at the gore to prevent that, as long as it doesn't cause pain under the arms.)

    * 3/4" wide center-pull straps. Gold tone hardware.

    * Probably not a very durable bra. If I wore it more often, either the lace or mesh on the cups would probably have torn by now, but otherwise the lace has pilled only a little in the few times I've worn & washed it.

    * Speaking of the lace, it WILL show under a thin top, as do firm nipples.

    * It's a good summer bra, since the fabric is so light and breathable, which is why I bought it. But then because I also wear thinner tops in summer, the lace also shows, which happens to be a pet-peeve of mine.

    This bra is called 'Sheer Enough.' The name could not be more appropriate.

    #1: Overall very stretchy...good for mild weight gain/loss, or monthly fluctuations.
    #2: Very thin, delicate lace across the cups...not sure how durable it will be long-term. The lace will show under a tight top, but usually provides enough tension to camophlage nipples. Cups are narrow and deep; more supportive than I expected. Doesn't have a Lot of Lift, but sufficient, with a 'comfortable' rounded shape. The top of the single layer cups has an elasticized edge; somewhat closed, but handled center closeness well enough, except for mild quadding near the gore. No gaping whatsoever.
    #3: Before my ... very minor alteration, the gore was just over an inch wide at the top and 3" tall; it's base is only 1.75" wide and narrower than most. (I hand-stitched the top as closely together as possible, without deconstructing the gore, which reduced the width from 1 1/8" to 7/8".) Interestingly, before my little alteration it didn't tack, but now it tacks while standing but then falls away 1/2" when leaning forward.
    #4: The wires are narrow and flexible. Stretches easily with the band and likewise will distort if stretched 'too far'. But they tuck into my IMF nicely.
    #5: Single layer band...seems like it might stretch out quickly, but it's very comfortable. Back fat is minimized because of the lace across the top, which also has a strip of stretch silicone.
    #6: The wide & flocked straps are fully adjustable, but not overly stretchy. (The band is way more stretchy than the straps.) Almost centered above the apex of the cups and kicked in, in the back. No slippage here.

    Bottom line: this is a perfect Summertime bra for those hot sweltering days! Lightweight, but supportive. Shapes without binding; moves with you. Even though cups are sheer, I doubt there'd be a terrible problem of nipple show-through, especially in the Summer heat. But if it really bothers you, there's always nipple concealers...

    Quick update: I end up fluctuating between this fitting and not fitting, depending on how full I happen to be when I wear it. The combination of the tall-for-me gore and the cup's elastic binding sometimes causes this to quad on my close-set/center closeness. Sometimes it fits fine and I can tolerate the gore, other times it cuts in too much.
