Comfort
The cotton fabric is heavenly. Literally the softest I've ever encountered. It is quite thin and has plenty of stretch.
The seams, however, are a different story. As you can see, I have flipped it inside out, which improves comfort greatly.
The band is, disappointingly, uncovered elastic. I mean, why. Also, there's no missing that giant logo running all the way around it. Unless your boobs are as big as mine, that is. Ha. At least it is much softer than most.
The straps are racerback, which is not a plus for me. You're forced to pull it on over your head, rather than step into it, as I prefer.
Fit & Support
Not much of either. My first thought was to laugh at the name 'Modern' - the fit is anything but. This is an old-school uni-boob style. You will get a flattened mono-boob-loaf shape. And your boobs will be stickily smooshed together.
There is actually a lot of cup capacity, but it is literally a flat piece of fabric, just like those early 'sports bras' but without the flattening compression. There is absolutely no attempt at shaping to allow for any projection.
Most of the lack of support comes from the poorly designed straps. They are super stretchy and the same thin cotton - not reinforced at all - and the weight of my boobs dragged them down in no time. If they had been restricted stretch, the racerback shape might have actually increased support. I also had to rearrange frequently due to uni-boob problem.
The shape is not terrible from the side. And there's that seam that would ruin the cloud-softness if not inside-out:
When Do I Wear It?
For a few hours on weekends, lounging around the house. I would not wear it outside my yard; there's just not enough support for that. I also don't find it comfy enough for a full day of working from home, mainly due to the stickily smooshed together effect.
It would be a great sleep bra, if you're into that, since the fabric is cloud-soft. In fact, I would have used it for that if I was still experiencing PMS swelling, but that is happily behind me since I began using progesterone cream, and especially now that I've hit the end stage of perimenopause.
Sizing. 2X. This is the Plus version, which you'll want if you're above a D-cup. The 2X fits a range of 38E-42G, I would say. The band is not snug, so I would not advise sizing up.
Pricepoint. Full price, around $35. I bought on Amazon at $21...only to see it annoyingly go down to $14 days later. You know the drill: leave it in your cart and let it age like a fine wine.
