I am a new to barlettes. I usually opt to wear a t-shirt bra but really wanted to try out these beautiful design yet hesitant as I cannot wear bras with wire for too long, even with the right sizing due to a medical condition it's just intolerable. HOWEVER! this bralette that I got in my starter pack was such a AMAZING surprise because I wore it for 3-4 hours and it was really comfortable. It didn't press hard on my ribs or cause be to feel like I wanted to quickly take it off. I love that it's also smooth and non itchy for my sensitive skin. would give it 100 hearts if I could :))
