Didn't fit

Wow! This wireless lifts FANTASTICALLY. The band and straps are supportive and soft. For a comparison, look at this wired bra: http://www.bratabase.com/bra/difm9/ Wired bras require very specific fit characteristics to lift, but this wireless Playtex fits surprisingly well. There is some puckering at the end of the cup. I hypothesize a washing will remedy that issue. Out of the box, the fabric is a bit scratchy. Again, washing will likely remedy that.

The straps are fully adjustable, plush, and short enough to accommodate the most petite or high set customer. If you are tall or low set, these straps will likely be too short.

The cup doesn't allow as much center projection as my breasts require. So, tissue is pushed from the center to the outer quadrant and into a seam. If you have less center projection, this bra may be perfect. My body is sensitive to seams and pressure. A 32DD might be perfect, but I have not yet found this model in that size.

The cup is tall, but the lift is so good even my shorties were quadding a bit along the cup edge. I totally understand the popularity of this bra!

Immediate projection is excellent. Lift is amazing. And, the profile under clothing is perky without padding. Lovely.

My daughter thinks this looks like "a wedding bra." She approves of the floral lace. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> This bra requires a significant amount of fabric, and it won't hide under my summer attire. But, when I need lift and comfort, I choose this bra.

My breasts defy gravity in this marvel of physics. Thank you, wendybien for your review. These bras ARE worth their weight in gold. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

    Ha! I get a kick every time someone tries one of these. Granny knew best about bras after all!
    Yes the puckering goes away after a few washes. After wearing for a while you will also notice the breast tissue settles into the cup better as well so any center quadding or weirdness that was previously occurring, will usually resolve as the bra softens up.

  • wendybien How long should I expect this model to last when worn for a few hours every week and hand washed? The support is fabulous, but the construction is not like more expensive bras I've tried. Thanks for your help.

    Well now, I will have to go back and give them a try, I always thought of playtex as the "utility wear" of bras.

    Love4Pollinators wearing just once a week?! Gosh, depending on your tolerance for cosmetic changes (sweat discoloration unfortunately happens fast with white bras) I'd say at least a year. The materials aren't fine or beautiful but they're pretty hard-wearing. Mine are still going strong after 2 years. I machine wash them too.

    Thank you, wendybien. That is fantastic news. I paid only $14 for this work horse, and I like fahric dyes. ;-)
