I bought this bra because I was bridesmaid at a friend's wedding and kept having nightmares about the wrong bra falling down on the dance floor and taking the dress with it (look this whole wedding party thing was a very stressful experience okay!)
I ended up changing out of the bridesmaid's dress before I busted my moves on the dance ... floor so I didn't get to test its full staying power but it did stay perfectly in place for the whole ceremony and I was free to run around performing various bridesmaid tasks without having to constantly yank the damn thing up. Just for the peace of mind it gave me this bra deserves ALL THE AWARDS! Extra points for the weird plastic hand underwire thingies giving me excellent lift and cleavage while the other bridesmaids were sewing padding into theirs A+ Strapless bra, would recommend!
(side note, my proper measurements are a 30D but I read this ran especially tight and since I'd been wearing a 34B until very recently I figured I'd size up and just wear it on the tightest hook if necessary- it wasn't)

Well all wrinkles are not equal. You can get wrinkling from excessive stress on the fabric (it's being pulled too tight in a certain direction) or on the contrary from insufficient stress (lack of surface tension because you're not filling it out, it's too large).
And frankly sometimes the wrinkling is not a fit issue but a fabric/materials/construction quality issue. Sometimes manufacturers go for the cheap and cheerful variety of materials that may not sit very well, or may get wrinkles from normal wear that then won't go away, or they may have less than impeccable quality control resulting in some slightly bumpy seaming--this also can cause wrinkling.
Excellent response as usual Wendybien. How do bra wearers know when their bra wrinkles are a result of too much stress, rather than a too large cup size?
