This is a good bra for everyday use. It is quite comfortable, with soft fabric and wide straps. Sadly, it is the wrong size for me (34DD). After a check with Abrathatfits calculator, my real size goes from 30GG to 30H. I use it sometimes, when I do not need anything fancy.

Wider wires than most. Straps rest at a natural place on the mid-shoulder -- comfy and don't slide. The lace on the top half of the cup is lined against the breast -- reduces itch and see-through.

Strap fabric is a super smooth neoprene-like fabric making it super smooth against the skin (not the usual piece of stretchy fabric with elastic at the top & bottom edges). This would be a great choice for someone that finds most bands itchy.

Reasonably priced and easily available (Amazon).

Contrary to the name, I don't think it minimizes anything. However, with the wide cups, this isn't a push-up ... bra.

Haven't had it long enough to comment on durability.

UPDATE 10 months later:
* Still looks brand new. Elastic parts still as tight as day one.
* Have been wearing about once per week. Is washed after 3-4 wears (fewer in the summer). Machine washed, cold water, inside lingerie bag, normal cycle, hang dry.
* The best bra I own for controlling contains that loose skin where the armpit meets the chest wall (a.k.a. armpit rolls, a.k.a. axillary skin spillage).

Great workhorse bra, fits like a glove and the elastic in the band is in between the two layers of fabric, so it's really soft. When on sale, I can get it at $15 in Amazon. The downside is that it's not pretty.

I like not having padding but, not always great with t- shirts. No cutting on bottom of band

Thanks to Amazon's great return program I took a big desperate gamble and got a lilyette minimized strapless bra. I think it's staying up pretty well. It started raining on our dinning table outside and we ran out to move it under the deck and it stayed in place. Of course stayed in place is a good finger's width under my imf and the gores float. Though doesn't float as badly as it looks. I think the hidden underwires make it look considerably more misshaped than it truly is. I think pinching the bottom of the gore together might solve that. The ... bra is also 2-3 fingers' width too wide but it wasn't bothering me. I think because it's not padded in any way it actually makes those fitting issues less uncomfortable and less noticeable to me the wearer as well. This might be the best strapless option for me I've tried. The band can't loosen up anymore or I'll lose the bra but that can be altered. I sister sized up two bands but it's the smallest one they carry. Sorry for the poor picture quality. If I decide to keep it I'll update them. It's the most minimizing strapless I've ever tried and I love minimizing!

When I first bought this bra I loved how it minimized and separated. I didn't know much about how a bra should fit at the time, so I can't tell you if it fit well, but I do know that it was my favorite daily bra. Even when the seam of the cup to the wing started to separate on the left cup, I still wore it! I'm pregnant and have gone up a cup or two and I'm still trying to wear it until I get another bra that fits, and of course the seam is ripping more. I would buy this bra again.

Fit's pretty well and gives good support, just don't expect to get any cleavage. Pretty comfortable for a strapless. Also I can wear this bra as a 30G without many issues, the band is slightly too loose but the cups fit fine.

Unfortunately, I don't have a camera on a phone or elsewhere, so no real fit check for me. I've been reading through this forum like crazy, though, so I guess I can do it from description.

The bra I purchased is a Lilyette Enchantment 3section in a 34DD. I bought before I asked, like an idiot, so I figured I may as well wait for it to see how things go. Otherwise, I guess people are generally warned away from this bra because of some awkward cup fittage.

I will say that I'm very glad I bought this in the 34DD instead of the 34DDD/E like people were suggesting according ... to my measurements, which are in THIS post. Odds are good that had I gotten the 34D, it would have been a nearly perfect fit in the cup, because my breasts tend to act like water and take the shape of whatever cup I put them in. lol

Anyways, I found it in my postbox when I came home from work yesterday. I had half my clothes off before I even got a chance to pee! lol There are lots of things I really like about this bra (aside from the slightly awkward cup fittage, which I did experience). Love the four column, three row closure. I love the smooth, soft band. I love that it's very snug but still easy to S'nS all my sideboob into the cup. It makes a very nice, smooth line along my sides. The gore fits PERFECTLY, although there's a tiny bit of lace poking on my chest (I'll fix that before I go to work in this thing). The underwires didn't poke me ANYWHERE, which is a literal first time ever, nor do I get any awkward armpit boob or pinching or irritation there, period. I think insofar as the wires go, whatever these are, I hope the rest of my bras will be just like them in width, depth, and shape. Probably tomorrow I will put this bra onto my bratabase. I don't have time this morning before work to sit and measure the whole thing.

The only real disappointment was the cups, really. I've not managed to quite figure out my boob shapes just yet, but I've guessed at a full on bottom, shallow type. Unfortunately, I've done the "lean over and examine in a mirror" thing to find out my boob shape the other day, and now I'm confused whether I'm FoB or FoT, because it seems like there's more fullness on top than bottom when I'm leaning, but the tissue is very soft and squishy, and I've always NEVER fit into bras on the top (usually get gaping in a big way). So much for figuring that one out. If anybody can help me figure out my boob shape/type/consistency based off this, I will probably love you forever.

The bottom of the cup seems to fit pretty well, but there is a little bit of gape going on up top. Since it's my bra now, I may break down and see if I can't modify it a little bit tomorrow (on my day off).

Bras have always been very uncomfortable to me. They slip and slide, the straps fall off, the band rides up in back, I have to readjust the girls back into the cup multiple times a day, I'm either filling out the top TOO much or not at all (depending on the shape of the cup), you name it. With this one? I've done every test I can think of: the standing shoulders back, hunched over with my shoulders rolled forward, arms over head, jumping up and down, and even the "nap on the couch" test. And I was very impressed that this thing went NOwhere. In fact, I found it comfortable enough that I could actually take a nap in it!

Do I feel like it's a perfect fit? Not quite. But for me, at the moment, the only reason I'll say "It's good enough" is because of the gaping on the top, and hell, I can fix that. So, yeah, I'm going to keep it.

Next order arriving next week: Jezebel Women's Dazzled Demi. I have even higher hopes for this one than I did for the Lilyette.
