If you have wide but shallow breasts this may work for you. As a minimizer it already has shallow cups. The cup are like little trampolines, sort of flat until you put it on and then you get that mashed down sensation. This idea works well for me. Everything is smooth finished which is so nice for comfort if you are sensitive to scratchy edges. I wish the back fastener itself didn't stretch, it seems like it looses support points here. The sides are high enough to prevent underarm bumps. Overall not a bad bra but I can hardly believe it would support anyone who really needs to minimize.
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.
