This is my favorite bra right now. I have it in several colors.  I find it to be very comfortable all around and it provides a great shape--lifted, rounded.  It is also quite pretty--prettier, I think, than it looks in pictures. The band is a little more stretchy than I've found in other bands, but I stuck with my usual size, and after a year plus having these bras in rotation, I have not found the band to stretch so much that I need to go to the next set of hooks.  I will buy this bra for as long as Wacoal makes it.
