Let me start by saying this bra is *ridiculously* comfortable. The moment I put it on, I understood why so many reviews rave about barely feeling it. The almond lace (nude-ish for my skin tone) is buttery soft—no scratching or underwire digging, which is a miracle for a full-coverage bra. The band? Perfect length. Cups? No gapping. It’s like wearing a cloud, honestly.

But here’s the catch: the lace. While pretty, it creates subtle texture under thin tees—not ideal if you’re aiming for a seamless look. I miss the older, completely smooth version! Also, pro tip: the matching panties sold separately don’t actually match the almond lace shade (learned that the hard way).

Support-wise, it’s a mixed bag. For my 34B frame, it’s heavenly, but some reviewers note the band stretches too much over time (size down if between sizes). And yes, knit tops *will* cling to the cups—prepare for frequent ‘Picard maneuvers’ (iykyk).

Care is easy: toss it in a bra bag, hang dry (they dry fast anyway), and avoid the dryer unless you want to murder the elastic. For $30-ish? A solid buy if you prioritize comfort over absolute invisibility.

Final verdict: 4/5 stars. It’s my daily driver for lazy weekends or WFH days when support > polish. But if Maidenform ever brings back the smooth version? Take my money.
