Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First I want to address the two most common criticisms of this bra: First, cone boob. This bra, like every seamed, soft cup bra in the universe, will give you more of a pointy shape than a seamless underwire bra would. Compared to other seamed, soft-cup bras, the cone boobening is pretty mild here. It's also worth keeping in mind that the shape a bra holds your boobs in is as much of a variable fashion trend as skirt length or pant cuff width. Cone boobs used to be all the rage. Lately we're in an age of round, high boobs, which, objectively. is equally as unnatural looking (maybe arguably more so, since bra-less boobs tend to be a little pointier). Point (haha see what I did there?) being, cone boobs in and of themselves aren't bad. It's just not what's trendy right now. So consider this bra will hold your boobs in a shape you are not used to before buying. Second, durability. I'm not some psychopath who hand washes bras because that is straight nonsense, however, you do have to handle this bra with some care. Basically, hook the hooks, pop it in a mesh lingerie bag, and wash it with your other cold water clothes on the cold water delicate cycle. Then air dry it. I'm guessing that a lot of the problems with the lace are coming from the bra hooks getting caught in the lace, so hooking the bra and using a lingerie bag should take care of it. I've washed this particular bra four times now with no problems. If it does start to fall apart, I'll update this review (and take off some stars). Now, the review part of the review. This is a really comfortable bra. It's been a long time since I've worn a bra that I didn't dread wearing and rip off my body the instant I got home. I particularly appreciate that there's no side boning, which I have found merely warps into a "C" shape as it conforms to my side fat, and then serves to do nothing but stab me in my armpit all day. Despite the lack of plasticware inside, this bra is very supportive, thanks to a wide underband and solid cup construction. The straps don't slip on me (I'm fairly broad shouldered, though, so your mileage may vary), nor do they cut into my shoulders. I tossed my dingy Elomi Hermione bras (talk about a bra that does weird things to your shape) and bought a total of four of these. Cone boobs in 2015, y'all! My wish list item is that Glamorise made the Magic Lift t-shirt bra in the same size range as this one, since the lace makes this unsuitable for clingy t-shirts and the lack of lining means you're going to be showing your nipples to all your coworkers in your cold, air conditioned office. So for that, four stars. Otherwise, great bra.
