This is a great everyday bra. The band feels snug at first but I like that because it takes pressure off of the shoulders. The band itself is really soft. The lower part of bra has no stretch so it will really lift and center tissue. The top has some stretch for adjustments, which I need for pendulous breasts. I prefer the Muse bra from Sculptresse for more lift but I needed another beige bra so I can rotate. Don't get me wrong, this still lifts breasts quite well. I can wear this with anything. I would choose the Muse for sexier clothing where I wanted the girls front and center. If you scroll through photos, Sculptresse actually helps you choose based on wire height and lift. So far, this brand has been the best I've experienced for my 38 G (UK) size. I don't feel like the band is going to stretch out quickly, like I did with Elomi.
