This is a great everyday bra. I have been trying and returning so many bras, I had kind of given up. I tried this on a whim. It is everything I've been looking for. It has great side coverage and great lift. I feel really confident when I wear it. It projects the breasts forward without having them far apart going in east west directions (another problem I'd been finding). I have bottom heavy breasts but this bra is fantastic for lift. The material is soft but the cups are not stretchy except at the top for adjusting. At first there was gapping in the back which I've never experienced but I adjusted the straps tighter and then everything was perfect. I also just bought the Sculptress Esme bra and I love that as well but that is a balconette, which may not suit everyone. However I'm tall and have wide shoulders. I'm a 38G (UK) and it fit perfectly. I think I finally found the brand for me, along with a couple of non-stretch Elomis. If you have a petit frame (I don't) please remember that this has high side wires by the under arms, which is great for side support. Check out their diagram under photos which they offer with all of their bras. I appreciate this to really understand what kind of lift and coverage you are getting. I hope this helps
