So today I got my first ever bra that actually fits, and I am ridiculously happy about that. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> My evaluation of it is as follows -

This style is great for close-set, FOB boobs (FOT probably won't work so well), and it has moderate lift with quite a bit of projection. I really like that it doesn't make me look huge from the front, which is a problem I've had in the past due to trying to wear bras for shallower boobs. The support is great, which is something that really matters to me as I can't ... stand bouncing.

The cups are unlined, very soft, stretchy lace. I had thought that they might be itchy (I've never been big on lace), but they aren't, at all. The lace is also smooth enough that it looks fine under medium-weight t-shirts (probably won't wear it with anything tissue-weight, but fortunately I don't own many of those anyway). The stretchyness of the cups is going to be a really good thing for me because my boobs swell and shrink quite a bit with my menstrual cycle; I'm a little concerned that it might wear out faster because of that, but it'd be an acceptable trade-off for me, honestly.

The one comfort issue is that the bottom edge of the band could stand to be quite a bit smoother; my boobs are pretty heavy and make the front edge dig into my skin a bit (the band is definitely the right size for me, though; anything bigger rides up like woah).

All in all, great first experience with actually measuring myself and using bratabase!

Awesome, awesome bra. Once I figured out that I needed to size down a cupsize in this model, the fit is incredibly comfortable and solid. I usually need a 28 band (especially in Freya) but the 30 on this bra is supportive on the loosest hooks. The underwires are narrow, and the underwires themselves are literally that--very strong, rounded wires (just barely flattened), which seems to sit on my body way more comfortably than wider, flatter underwires. I had to bend out the outer edge for comfort, but that's not a huge deal. The straps are narrow but comfortable. The stretch lace/elastic on the top edge of the cup is very forgiving and comfortable. The lace fabric is very soft (though things have a tendency to snag, like the other hooks in my undwerwear drawer) and the wing/gore fabric is even softer. The wing also has a single piece of flat plastic boning on each side for additional support, and it seems to do a good job of keeping the wing smooth around my sides and back.
