This is a fantastic wireless option for any woman that has a smaller band but a fuller bust. The Sugar Candy Bestie comes in alpha sizing (XXS-XL) rather than being band and cup size specific. Don't let that fool you, though. Sugar Candy designed this bra specifically to fit US K-M (UK H-J) cup sizes and features a side sling in the cups to really push your breasts more forward and center. This does result in a slightly more pointed shape, but that does round out with wear. If your bust exceeds the cup size range, you can still wear this, but the side sling may cause a slight bulge on the side of your breasts. The Bestie also comes in a smaller cup size range, US H-J (UK FF-GG). I recommend ordering the size that you usually wear for a fitted t-shirt.

I tried the Bestie Bra in hopes that it would be a significant improvement over the basic SugarCandy bra. In some ways it is, and in some it isn't. It's definitely more structured, and for me gives a more supportive feeling with the medium in this style compared to the large in the basic. However, that's specifically for my size of 34K US, but also specific to my shape which is very projected. I did alter my Bestie Bra by cutting out the side inner support slings because I have very narrow and very close-set breasts. If your tissue is more spread across or wide-set, then the side support should help you. I did not cut out the bottom support sling (unlike what I did for my basic bra where I cut out both). The support slings are a much thinner fabric than the basic, which is a huge plus for me. They're also cover a bigger area, which I think makes them work better. I do occasionally have to adjust the bottom slings, but I think that might just be due to me being very projected. The band is not as comfortable as the basic, but it is more supportive. The fabric of the cups is soooo much more breathable than the basic, which I find makes me too sweaty. I'm not a pink person, so the hot pink being the only color option is a little disappointing. But so far I'm only wearing the bra at home, so it doesn't matter too much what color it is. Overall, it's a decent wireless bra that actually gives a little bit of lift and separation, which is basically impossible to find in bigger cups and smaller bands. It's a solid 4/5 for me.
