Owner's review

I'm selling this bra for ~$35 USD, but haven't gotten around to taking photos yet. It just is too big in the cups and too small in the band to work.

The underwires are exactly what I need: just wide enough, firm, not poking into my armpits. The gore is high and narrow. The seams on the cups are vertical, and I feel very secure and supported. I just need the asymmetry correcting pads in *both* cups to get there. (And to tighten the straps.) For some reason, the pads correct more comfortably in this one than they do to the Toffik, which basically has the same measurements and ... cut.

The band is too tight, but not by a whole lot. I like a firm band, and the too-short-but-stretchy band is a fine approximation. It does get sort of uncomfortable by the end of the day, and I put a band extender in my purse in case it was needed. I like the three hooks, but it felt more comfortable when I didn't hook all of them.

The fabric seems durable. The cups are lined with soft cotton on the inside and a matte, satiny material on the outside. The band is actually a double layer the whole way through, but with stretchy material on the back rather than the firm interfacing on the wings part. The lace edging on the cups is pretty, and doesn't interfere with the strap adjustment or really show through fabric. The seams on the cups sort of do show through clingy fabric, but the color is just right against my super pale (Oregon winter + Scandinavian) skin. I can wear this with a white t-shirt.

On the week before my period: I walked all day wearing this bra, and noticed a good deal of subtle jiggling. This may be because my breasts are more sensitive right about now, but it could also be simply due to the construction of the bra: Because I'm held up and out, rather than inwards, there's more room to jiggle. A sports bra this is not.
