I have large boobs and the full figured bras in the stores are usually thickly padded which I cannot stand padded bras. So unnatural. I hate the look of smashed looking round boobs. This bra lifts and separates. It is a little pointy but I prefer that look. For t shirts I recommend using nipple covers in the cups. The only complaint I have is I wish the sides were made of lycra type material as that would make it easier to get it on and off. I have been wearing this style for years.
