This bra claims to be padded, but is NOT padded in the slightest. Its odd shape coupled with its lack of padding left it with no support. As far as I can tell, this bra might work for someone with torpedo boobs, but close-set round boobs had quad-boob on top and didn't fill the bottom of the cups. Had the bra actually been padded as the name implies, it might have worked.

Tried this in a 28DD when I first started and it was far too small, now my only complaint it that that band is very stiff and that the straps are too far apart. May keep it, but also might sell it cheap as the tag is basically gone.

I am reviewing the white Retro Basic.

Too small. *Sigh* I guess I just need to realize that it's time to try a 28F.

It quadboobed both because of size and shape. On my right breast, there's a definite orange-in-a-glass effect, probably due to the wires being too sharp of a U shape. The width of the wires is fine, it doesn't cut and and isn't too wide, but it doesn't follow the shape of my root very well.

The cups give me a conical shape. I'm full-on-top, and I think the top cuts in because I have tall roots. The whole cup feels tight, so the cups are too ... small as well as the wrong shape. Rather than push my wide-set breasts together, it just squashes them against my chest and into my armpits.

The fabric isn't very pretty either. It looks like a very luxurious satin in the photos, but it feels and looks almost plastic-like. It's a bit scratchy. It's more flexible and holds its shape less than the beige bra photos look.

But the band is very firm. Although the unstretched measurement is almost 24, it only stretches about 5 inches and it feels very stiff when worn. So even though there is only 1 hook, it is a very sturdy band.

I'm sure that if it was a larger cup, it would much more comfortable. But I'm not sure if I'd be ok with the super pointy look.

Nice basic bra, but completely wrong shape for my breasts. This bra pushed my wide set breasts together so much they were sitting on each other (never had that happen before). The back has a different design, which is probably fine for smaller breasted women, but I can't imagine it holding up much weight. Wish this had worked out though, it would be a good everyday bra.

This bra is a great basic. I took a gamble on it, not knowing really if it would fit or not, especially with this being my first bra in a 28E. I have to say, it fits wonderfully! The wires are the closest I've gotten to a perfect width yet, and come up plenty high under the arms. No cleavage, thanks to the shape of the cups, but even without being a molded cup, I think this will be a good option as a t-shirt bra in the summertime - It gives a nice, rounded-natural shape under clothing and is very comfortable. I was a little apprehensive about the band only having one row of hooks, but it feels quite secure, even on the loosest hooks.

I absolutely love this bra except I need a bigger cup size.
