I've had this bra for several years(long before I knew my correct size), but I only wore it a handful of times. This was one of those "I need a bra NOW" purchases and it never really fit me. The cups are quite shallow and densely padded to the point of being a bit stiff, at least for me. It is a nice looking bra though, a lace covered take on a seamless styled bra with a pretty firm band. The quality of it is nice also; it looks almost new even after several years of living in a drawer.
The bra is one of the more comfortable bras I own, but doesn't fit perfectly. If I "swoop and scoop," then I get slight quad-boob. The under wire also doesn't sit flush under the bust, it sits a bit down from the bottom of the breast.
I picked this bra up on whim because it was cheap, but it turned out to be super comfortable. It doesn't poke and offers great support. The bottom band is wide and sturdy. It's one of the few bras that I own where the straps don't fall off my shoulders. My only issue is that it looks matronly.
This bra is very comfortable, but lacks support because of the large band size and wide cups. The underwires were constantly slipping down too low as well. However, it is a good every day bra since it is quite comfortable.
This is the best fitting bra I own. I have 2, 1 tan, 1 black. They measure and fit the same. This is my go-to most comfortable bra. The fabric is very soft, it has extra stretch inserts inside the cups along the wires, it also has 4 rows of hooks so you have leeway. My under-boob chest measures just shy of 31 so I don't think this bra would fit someone who would normally wear a 36 band. I've been wearing this bra (and frequently due to its comfort) for about 6 months now and if anything it just seems to fit better. The band has become softer, but not really stretched out much. The band itself is so wide and also with an underband I don't expect it will stretch out as much as thinner bands do. I give it full marks!!
This is the best bra I've found from this line. I did not actually want a minimizer, but was desperate for a smooth cup, plunge style to wear with a specific blouse. The colors are lovely: I bought a silver plum. And it's very comfy - the underwires are well-cushioned, something I wish more brands would catch onto - but it did minimize about a cup size. So the shape you get is very round & slightly flattened. Yes, you project less from the side - but from the front your boobs appear to go on forever, both upward & downward.
Is your bra one of these?
