I was so happy to finally find this bra, after many, many expensive and/or saggy/ugly failed experiments. I wanted a balconette bra that is pretty, with forward projection, and is COMFORTABLE. This bra delivers it in spades. But there was a hack. My ribcage is 30 inches and my bust line 37. By rights, I size at a 32DD, but a tight band kills me after a few hours. So for this bra I chose a 36C. Unlike most bras at this size the cut remains true balconette (not super high coverage—still balconette). I compensate for the physics of a slightly looser band (ie. the gore close to but not digging into my sternum, and the band into my ribs) by making sure the straps are tighter, taking more of the weight. The fabric is soft (I am very sensitive to scratching)—no itchy bits anywhere. It’s 9:30 pm and I am still comfortably wearing this bra I put on at 7:00 am. No pain anywhere. As a result, I bought four of this style. Highly recommend.
