Note: I was not paid for my review, I just have a lot of pros and cons for these bralettes. For Reference: I am 5’1”, 220lbs and carry weight in my stomach. My chest at its widest point measures 46.5” and my ribs measure 42.5”. I usually buy shirts in the 1XL (plus size not straight size) and at torrid I wear a 0X or 1X shirt size. I do not know my underwire bra size as I don’t wear them. I bought the scalloped edge four pack in black, coffee, pink, and white colors, size XXL. I was hoping for an everyday wear bralette that could double as a peekaboo top under a partially opened button down. Unfortunately, the sheerness of the fabric with the white (which is more so cream) and pink shows the pads within the bra so I won’t be able to wear these as part of an outfit, just as an undergarment. The brown might be so able but I haven’t seen it in the sunlight yet. The black is opaque enough that I won’t have to cover so thankfully I can use that for both under and as part of an outfit. It seems that the manufacturer was aware of the sheerness issue however, and provided silicone nipple covers. So you COULD remove the pads and wear those under the bralette and not see them depending on your skin tone, but they are a pinkish tan so I assume they will provide too much contrast against darker skin. These fit a bit loose, but I don’t think loose enough to move around through the day. However, I do think I could have sized down for a more snug fit. The bra does feel like it will rise up if I tighten the shoulder straps too much and it is not super supportive. There is some support underneath the breasts but not much compression. The fabric is nicely stretchy so I would consider sizing down if you want more compression, but be aware that the bands in the back will be tight. It also feels like the pink bands are tighter than the other three so there may be some variation with color. The construction is fine. It does not have a solid band in the back, just two elastic pieces on top and bottom but that lends to the bralette being looser and not constricting. What I do like is that the pockets for the padding are stitched in the shape of the pads so they can only shift so much within the bra and nipples will always have coverage. However, depending on breast shape and tightness of fit, if they shift too much you could get some gaping in the cups. Buuuuut These are very cute and flattering in shape. They are not tight enough that I get much indentation at all and basically seamless on the front so tops should lay nicely. Overall I will be keeping them because I need them and can’t wait for return and reorder, but I will be using these. UPDATE: I have discovered that my bra size is a 38B. I unfortunately had to wear these bralettes for a trip and was uncomfortable. I ended up missing the support of my tighter sports bras and did have to adjust the padding quite a few times, but I never lost coverage over the nipple, just slid out of place. I also had an issue with the back of the bra sliding up because I was tightening the straps to get more support. Overall I would only recommend these as short term bras unless you downsize and get a tighter size.
