Cute, thick enough to hide my nipples under a work shirt, and offering absolutely zero support. It looks like a bikini top, but I have no faith that it would stay on in the water. I'm a 34B and frequently don't wear a bra, but at work I feel I should. This will remain a favorite work and under-very-thin-shirt bra. Don't mistake it for a sportsbra, and if you actually need gravity-control I'd stay away. The graphite color is really nice.

This bralette top is pretty much amazing. It's cute, it's soft and comfy, and it looks fantastic under any summer top. My only complaint is that the elastic is a little oddly placed, such that the bottom front edge is a little loose and creates the feeling that everything might just...slip out. Hasn't happened, but the feeling is there. Still, it's my new favorite bra top and I wear it all the time.

Very comfortable, although it is not really meant to provide much support.

It's a very cute bra with decorative back that goes very well with back baring blouses. They have no padding but the gatherings helped to hide nipples.

Love this bra!! So cute and comfy, but no support, and like other reviewers I find that this style is a bit loose around my ribs and feels like it will slip up when I bend over. That being said, it's my favourite bra for those days when something tight is just too irritating.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this !! I agree that it offers absolutely zero support but it is sooo comfortable. Its perfect for open back or low back shirts. The straps in the back look awesome on.

Stretchy and comfortable & perfect to layer under tanks or tops that are cut too large or wide & need more coverage.

Beautiful and comfortable! I only wish it came in individual sizes... S - M - L - XL. But it's perfect and I recommend this item!

Surprisingly comfortable! (I'm a 34D/36C.) I like to wear it with strappy tank tops so that I have a little support without the traditional bra straps showing. I ordered a large, and it is not very tight at the band, but I don't think the smaller size would have been as comfy.

Love, soft, not a lot of support for a cup size C or higher. Great to wear around the house or under a backless shirt or dress

I love this. Easy on, easy off. I fluctuate between 36, 38b and sometimes with an extender to 40 depending on the bra, and the large fits me so comfortably. A medium would prob work as well, as it is stretchy. I bought in 3 colors.

I absolutely love these bras. I needed an addition for my summer strappy tops and these are perfect. I have received so many complements. I am a 34C and the fit is perfect for size XS/S. I ordered three, and then ordered three more. Great color options. I am extremely happy with this product.

Comfortable, stretchy and a great purple/gray color. Provides coverage but no support at all. Sizes c and up should get the larger size (medium?) or it may ride up in front.

This is a really cute bralette. I am a 34 C and bought the size XS/S. Pros: - Extremely pretty. My husband rarely notices these things, and even he said the strappy back was really pretty. :) - I bought graphite, and the color is really unique--sort of a grayish purple--and will go with a lot of different colored tops. - So comfortable I forgot I was wearing it. I have a bruise from my other underwire bra (it fits, my skin is just sensitive) and this was the perfect bra to recuperate with. You could easily sleep in this. - No bulge on the back, even with all the straps. I was worried about that, but it looks sexy. I think this is sized a little on the big side. (I'm 5'5" and 125 lbs but not super toned, for reference.) Cons: - While the cups cover the girls, there is very little support and shaping, as others have said. I probably would skip this bra for anyone over a C cup (or those looking for a lot of support and shaping), and even larger C cups should approach with caution. - Sized a little big around the ribs. Even though I bought the size XS/S, there's a gap where the band doesn't quite meet my skin. This leads to even less support than the cloth bra cups provide. Overall: I would definitely recommend this for those looking to wear a bra under halter tops or backless dresses/tops. It's so incredibly comfortable, and really pretty. Skip if you're looking for something with a lot of support, though.

Super cute style for open back shirts. I typically wear a 32B and ordered a small. This bra feels a little loose around the bottom band and definitely provides no support but with the right top it doesn't matter!

I got the xs/s and I am a size 34C at 5'4". It fits perfectly. It is very comfortable and so cute! There is not much support but it was more secure than I thought it would be. I got the graphite and it is a little purplish-gray like it shows in the picture - just what I wanted!

This bra is so comfortable and so cute! There is very little support however. But just enough to feel ok going out in public wearing it. I am a size 34C.

I like this bra. I am a small framed person with a B cup. The bra has little support, just to warn you. The back is playful and fun to wear.

Cute back, simple, but don't expect any support or padding. This is an unlined bra, so you may need to add some removable padding from an old swimsuit or sports bra if you want fuller coverage. Happy with the fit -- I measure as a 34 or 36C (just going by what the lady at VS tells me) and the small fit fine.

I love the look and feel of this bra. It's definitely not a supportive bra, and with a lot of movement (dancing), I even had some slippage of the front under-breast line. Not a big deal for me (I'm an A cup), but good to keep in mind for those more gifted. It was just what a I wanted - a simple bra with a fun back. I'd get another in a different color!

I'm an AA/A cup depending on the brand, and the XS/S size fits well. Surprisingly supportive despite the lack of a real band - I've tried much less skimpy bras that offer nothing at all, so this was a nice surprise.

Good fit; I wear a 38C bra and ordered a M/L. I have one in the same size white from another store, and the fit is much looser, so I suspect there is some inconsistency.

Pros: This bra is super cute and incredibly soft. Perfect for under tshirts especially on hot days. Cons: It doesn't provide much support and if you're cold every one will know it.
