Didn't fit

The good: Comfortable smooth material, and the straps are not very wide set. They hit the top of the cup close to the center of each cup, which provides a little more stability (in my opinion) than bras with wide-set straps. It has a molded cup, which prevents any possible nipple poke-through and keeps me from looking too pointy (nice round shape) - that's tough to find in large bras. I'm a 38G, and this 38DDD provides good (but not excellent) support - the only issue is that the center gore doesn't quite tack properly. So I'd say the cups run a bit big compared to other brands (or even other Playtex bras).

The bad: The band stretches out quickly (I've had several of this same bra and they all did), and the underwire itself is about 1/2" too short for its channel, so it tends to slide back and forth within the channel. When it ends up too far toward the underarm side, it pokes my arm, as the bra comes up quite high in the underarm.

Fit information

On Nov 2013

Center gore comfort:
Underwires dig into sternum, because they are too high
Center gore placement:
Doesn't lie flat against sternum
Underwire length:
Runs too high under the arm, it pokes
Strap separation:
Not a problem
