I actually love these bras, make sure you view the sizing chart, (that is the ONLY way you will get a "fit as expected!) especially if you are in the USA I needed to order a much smaller cup size than normal and actually had to try/get a couple different sizes to choose the best fit. Buying bras online is difficult. All different manufacturers have their own sizing charts and the European made bras are a VERY different fit than US made bras.
The cup material is NOT stretchy which allows for a nice natural shape given by the form of the seams. The back band is stretchy like normal.
The seams and embroidery would be noticeable under a very thin t-shirt, but are not noticeable under standard-weight jersey type material. I have nipples like a FEM-BOT and they probably will show through but honestly they can even show through a molded cup bra so I've kinda given up trying to hide them. I've finally learned to appreciate what the Good Lord endowed me with! LOL
These are GORGEOUS bras and it is REALLY hard to find PRETTY bras in my size. I was fitted last week at a 38-I, J, and these fit at a 40E
Unfortunately they didn't have the light blue & gold in my perfect size, (only in the navy). I would have sent it back but I called the supplier and they said it didn't look like any other orders were going to come in. So glad I called because I decided to keep it since it is so beautiful and will work with an extension.
When purchasing bras online make SURE they allow for free returns in case they don't fit!!!
