They came today! elpgal, thanks for the tip regarding the racer back for additional support. Since I'm short, the straps didn't adjust quite short enough, so using the racer back feature really helped. Since I didn't have back hooks to contend with, I was able to get the thing on without too many contortions.
Based on nordstrom.com, this particular model looks like the best and only True & Co. model that will fit me. The gray ("mink") looks more nude on me than the nude which is what I suspected might happen.
The molded (and removeable) cups prevent the deflated boob look. Supposedly, this bralette gives an inch of lift, but I'm not about to measure. Anyway, I'm sold and ordered another one for DD who is flying in on the 16th (hooray!!!) and needs to find a comfy bra that she will actually wear.
