Very comfortable and does a great job with back smoothing from the wide band in the back

Comfortable. Rip in side as shown in picture. Could be repaired with a panel or used as "spare parts" bra.

My favorite strapless bra ever! Do NOT come with any straps. The back panel is 5 hooks and is adjustable from both sides.

Very comfortable. The hook placement was ripped when I got it, so I repaired it as shown in the picture

I love cacique bras! They are the only kind I wear. The straps are adjustable and can moved to different placements in the back.

Lightly used. Very comfortable and looks great under clothing.

Everyone is right that the band sizes run small. I usually need a 34 band -- and a 36 when the band is very firm. But the H cup starts at a 38 band in this model, so what can you do? At first, the band was quite snug, but it stretched out a lot within a couple of weeks. I didn't expect great quality from this brand, though, so I wasn't surprised. I've worn this bra about 12 times, and I'm already using the second column of hooks.

It's true that it feels like your breasts are encased in a cloud when you first put on this bra. ... At least at first, it was the only bra I've found in a long time in which the straps didn't dig in painfully. It's shockingly comfortable at first, but that doesn't last very long. Still, I got this bra marked down for just $12.50. Even though the quality is not great, I don't regret spending $12.50 on it.

I have narrow shoulders and a wide root. I'm also bottom heavy and uneven by about a cup size. Unlike most with wide roots (at least so I've read), my breasts are not shallow. As a result, I usually have to choose between bras that have enough depth and bras that comfortably contain all of my side breast tissue. I've never found one gets this balance exactly right -- AND that has straps narrow enough not to fall down. This one is no exception. I do have underwire against my breast tissue on the left side, but it doesn't hurt the way most bras do thanks to all the cushioning. I also have quite a bit of gaping on the right side and some empty space at the bottom. I never have empty space there -- this bra is for breasts that have a lot of depth. Still, I couldn't go smaller because that would make the pain worse on the left side. The straps are...extremely wide set in this bra. I need a racerback strap to keep them from falling off.

In spite of the bad fit, this bra makes my breasts look fairly even, and the gaping doesn't show under t-shirts. Even though it wears out quickly, it's still one of my more comfortable bras. I have problems with straps digging in most of the time, and the straps on this bra are padded.

It's also kind of a maximizer, and I feel slightly awkward whenever I go anywhere wearing it because it makes my boobs look quite a bit larger than they are.

I found this bra used (for $1). I suspect its previous owner was relying too much on the straps, since they are trying to curl up, and are borderline too long for me, but the band still has tons of life left in it.

Since the straps are multiway, it gave me the freedom to take lots out of the band without worrying about causing the straps to be twisted or in the wrong place. I just took the strap off, folded the band where I wanted it, and put the strap back in a logical spot. It's now essentially a 34FF.

Like most mainstream molded cup bras, it fits ... me great in the cup. I'm even, round, and pretty soft, so I rarely get gapping or unfilled space, as long as the cups are close enough together.

The center gore is tiny, but the cup edges extend over an inch above it. Because the wires don't quite touch in the middle, I'll probably take a teeny bit out of the center gore until they do. (I'm very close set.) I might also shorten the straps, since they are only half adjustable and the front half is nonstretch. I think a higher proportion of stretch material would make them more comfortable.

Overall, this was a great deal for $1 plus alteration time, and is a pretty, comfortable bra that doesn't show under clothes. I think I'll be on the lookout for more Cacique sister size bras I can alter.

For being completely the wrong cup size and creating quad boob out the wazoo when I scoop, it's not that uncomfortable. Since I have fullness on the bottom, I'm able to migrate some of the extra flesh to the top of the bra to mitigate the quad boob.

I've had this bra way too long and it's stretched out so it's lost quite a bit of its support and the band has a tendency to ride up.

When I had this bra in the 40H the cup for perfectly but I had to use a bra band extender and with the 42H both the band and the cup are too big.

This is a pretty wearable bra even though it bruises my ribs if i wear it for too long. I've only been buying them because they are always on clearance and it is really expensive to get bras in the correct size. The quadboob situation only happens when i try to flatten the center go against my sternum.

I ordered this for my sister, so I won't be wearing it at all. I may add her thoughts once it's been tried on.

Update: It's her favourite!

Used. Lace is cute, but can be itchy for sensitive skin. Gore is also lace. Mesh wing. Hides well under tshirts. Slightly stretched.

This is a pretty comfortable bra and my first purchase in the search for a bra that actually fits. The gore mostly tacks, but as my breasts are somewhat close set the separate under wire ends occasionally fight for dominance. I find there is a little wrinkling on the top of the cup when I'm seated. I'm not sure what that means as I am kind of a bra fitting n00b. Due to a really intense piece of side boning (it's at least half an inch wide) the band doesn't roll from the excess soft tissue I carry. Stretches out after two wears but bounces back after a wash.

Very comfy and pretty. Has wide padded straps. Wish I still has the boobs for this bra but lost mega weight!

This is an awesome bra like new! I bought it after I had weight loss surgery and only got to wear it once before losing more weight. It is $46 new. http://m.lanebryant.com/products/p131002

I bought this bra when I was under the impression that I was a 42g. I thought the increase in cup size was a crazy coincidence, turns out i'm actually a 36M in american sizes and I was compensating in band size to make up for cups that were not large enough. Whoops.

It never really fit right, but I have never had gores that sat flat on my sternum so I figured it would never happen for me. I was wrong, but of all of my Lane Bryant Cacique bras, this is my favorite.

It's weird because the straps actually get divided into 2 sections. There's also a ton of space between the top of the cup and my breast. It gets some points for having 4 hooks, which I always like. The sales lady told me not to wear it around, that it was only for lingerie purposes- to which I said HA and proceeded to wear it around whenever I pleased.

This used to be my favorite, reliable bra. I've gained a cup size or two, and now i'm overflowing and poky, but it's not the bra's fault.
