After all of the glowing reviews I had high hopes for this bra but sent it back right away. It may work for some, especially for those who want a lot of support and don't mind wearing a body armor type garment. I did feel like I had some chest plate on after putting it on ... I wanted a bra that would be more supportive than Japanese Weekend which I love for comfort and looks but it has almost no support, that I can drop down easily for nursing, and that would be soft and comfortable next to the skin. The bras delivered on none of these counts for me. It felt scratchy and synthetic, not at all comfortable nor well fitting in the cup, and tryign to drop it down felt like folding cardboard. So I sent it back. The company promptly refunded my purchase so no complaints there. I ended up buying Target brad bras which are super for half the price of this thing - very comfortable, soft on the skin, supportive enough, and easy to open/close and fold down. Good luck to all bras shopping nursing moms in finding the right bras for you!
