There are pockets for extra padding but I do not have it. The cups are padded though. I believe the “bleeding” of some areas of the pattern is natural The color was hard to capture on camera so it may look slightly different in person Welcome to my closet! I am a recent Fashion Design graduate who is extremely passionate about sustainability. Feel free to send me an offer! I will either accept or counter with my lowest, so shoot your shot ;) If you like this item, I would recommend checking out the rest of my closet and making a bundle! I have lots of similar styles and usually have multiple items from the same brands. Also, a bundle is the best way to take advantage of the 5 pound Poshmark shipping label! I often send out my packages in reused packaging. It’s not the prettiest but it’s better for the environment.
