I started buying Soma bras about 12 years ago and was so impressed! I was blown away at the quality as the first two bras I bought lasted close to 5 years, which is unheard of for my size (44E). The last two times I have bought them, the quality has greatly reduced. The wire broke on my last two after wearing them for less than a year. I am not wearing them for activity - I sit at a desk all day. Also on the armpit side of the bra wire, because the coating on the end is so much thinner than it used to be, it cuts through the fabric and and stabs me in the armpit. I now coat them with layers of finger nail polish (polish solves a lot of problems in my life...Lol!) to reduce being jabbed repeatedly throughout my day. I will be looking for another brand the next time I need to drop 120$ on two bras
