I love this minimizer, but wish it came in larger cup sizes. Very comfortable fabric.

I have this bra w a modified back band to take a 40G (UK) down several band sizes so take my cup fit assessment w a grain of salt. All other reviews are correct - it's a nice bra, esp for summer, it does a great job of minimizing, it's a very full cup and unpadded as it would have to be, it's a very functional minimalist clean design (I would prefer it if they'd go even plainer honestly), and it is comfortable to the point where even wildly the wrong size I wear it around as a house bra. With the band altered it fits much better ... and the cup volume is true to size, but the cup shape is a total mystery that I hope makes sense when you are actually in the correct band and cup. The apex of the cup is high and to the outside, if you have full on bottom breasts and your nipples are high and east wested you'll be ok. You can't hide the nips bc it's a thin fabric so if you don't mind that the point of the cups (they're a tad rounded pointy, though not in a bad way) is not front and center then you're golden. I hope this is different in the actual correct bandsize but as I don't fit into their size chart otherwise this was the only way to go. I'm even side to side and top to bottom so this doesn't work for me for public wear. Again, grain of salt bc I'm sister sizing the daylights out of this thing but a tad shallow at center front, surprisingly tolerable fit at the wire for projected breasts (soft tissue though, so ymmv), only slight folding over at the wire, less than I get in most bras. Wires on the wide side but doesn't cause too much underarm boob which I can't stand. Minimizes well by pancaking the boobs, that's why it comes up so high bc it has to encapsulate all the tissue to keep you from quadding. Nice light, easy to wear bra, does it's job re support and minimizing, if I had no nipples it would be perfect!

I am against minimizers on principle, but I picked this up when I had very few options as a second bra. Yes. I had two bras. It was my first 32 band and was painfully tight for the first month because the cups are several sizes too small for me (when I scoop and swoop the wires sit on my breast tissue.)
HOWEVER, it does give pretty solid support of the compression kind, and it hasn't stretched out despite being worn literally every other day for 7+ months. I will ditch it when I have enough workhorse bras that fit to do so, but in the meantime it is wearable if ugly.This bra is not owned any more

This bra fits me perfectly. It is a minimizer, so my 32G boobs look smaller and very perky. It lays nicely under t shirts and other clothing. The cups sit high, so it doesn't work as well with low cut tops or tanks. It is also very plain and not terribly sexy. It is the only bra I have that fits properly though.
