I normally don't spend more than about $15 on a bra but I bought this after trying it on at a department store. It is simply the most comfortable, softest, best-fitting bra I have ever worn! It may run a little small in the cup size as I often wear a nearly B and the B in this bra fits perfectly. Another nice feature: the strap adjusters are in the front so they don't make annoying lumps in back of your shirt. Haven't tried the criss-cross straps yet but I'm sure it will be fine.
