These are good bras. They chafe a little around the sides and underwires, but I think that will go away after a few washings. To my intense relief the bras are sheer, stretchy lace. There is no padding, or even lining. When you are too big/big enough lining and padding are undesirable. It's kind of hard to tell in the model picture. The fit is good and there's no bagging or extra material. The straps are comfortable and the bras hold you up and look natural. No pointiness or "Valkerie" look. They are expensive and they are somewhat fragile looking, so I will be washing these in cold water by hand to make sure they last. I'd give another star if they were 15$ cheaper. I've had similar bras before and my experience is that, although they are just what I want, they don't last long if you throw them in the washing machine, even if you use a lingerie bag and line dry.
