When this bra came in the mail I tried it on right away. At that time the bra that I was wearing was annoying me around the band line so that when I put this bra on I actually sighed with relief. It has the softest band line! And the fit and shape was good enough for me to wear out of the house. My problem is that my breast measurement is a 5 inch difference from my band measurement so it is very difficult to get a cup size to fit. I ordered the XL and the fit is OK but doesn't cover perfectly near the under arm (since my breasts are spaced more away from the center of my body). I'm ordering another one that is one size larger hoping that I will get more cup space. As comfy as this bra is, 3 hours later I was wanting to go braless...I simply hate having bands around my ribs any longer at the age of 67! But this bra is the closest I've had for band comfort in a long time and still have some shape.
