Glamorise bras, in my experience, tend to have smaller than average bands.  I forgot this when I ordered the bra, and ordered my regular size (42).  I can barely close the hooks - and 5 hooks makes it more difficult to close in general.  When the bra is closed my rib cage feels like it's in a vice.  Other than that, the bra is comfortable, provides adequate support, and could be slept in (I know this because it's the 2nd one I'm buying; I've had the other one for years and love it).  My original bra is still going strong after about 4 years of off-and-on use.  It's very comfortable, even though there's not any cotton in it. I would prefer the bra if it contained some cotton for breathability, but since I don't wear it outside the house, this isn't really an issue.  Our home is cool in both winter and summer.  I highly recommend this bra if you're looking for something comfortable that also provides moderate support.  Please bear in mind that I'm a large B cup, so the support may not be enough for women with larger breasts. It doesn't win any prizes in the looks category, of course, but that's not what it's designed for.  The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I need to exchange it for a larger band size.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to order up a size.
