I was excited to find a locally-buyable bra with a pretty decent fit. I'll have to alter the band down, but that's normal for me, and this is really firm for a 32. It doesn't dig in in the gore, and has the immediate depth I need. I expected a "full-coverage" bra to cut into my upper boob but it's just right and gives me a nice rounded look. This is a super t-shirt bra. Also, the saleswoman was helpful and took me at my word that a 32D was the closest fit for their inventory. Nice! I'm hoping this lasts a good long time once I alter it.
This is a nice bra, just too big for me at my current size. I bought this when I was 40 pounds heavier and the cups and band fit better then, but the underwire has always been uncomfortable because it goes too high up on the sides into my underarm. I also feel that the center gore is a little too high and pokes me.
I have a lot of issues with this bra but most of them are due just to being the wrong size. This does make a good t shirt bra, nothing ever shows underneath, HOWEVER the little rectangular metal thingys on the straps are the absolute worse. If the straps are supporting anything at all they will slide, poke you, and in the process lengthen the straps lessening support and become visible there. Beware those of large bust.
This bra is a sister size to my usual size (30FF UK). So the cup volume was perfect, but of course the band was much too large. However, the fabric is soft and the underwire is strong but comfortable. This is a limited edition bra that came out around Valsntine's Day and was purchased as a surprise to for my sweetie. He loved it! Very sexy, and also functional enough for everyday wear.
I am on a journey to find the right fitting bra. This bra fits great everywhere but the cup. If they had this in a 38H would love it. I like the way it is made and how it feels on.
Thank goodness for Soma and Wacoal. Without them I would have a heck of a time finding a bra that fits! This one is black with gold embroidery. It is sheer and sexy. Gives a nice lift and shape.
A firm bra that holds you tightly, but what would you expect from a minimizer? Beautiful shiny soft material that stretches nicely to conform to both breasts. Comfortable even after a long time on.
I picked up this bra from a clearance rack (I guess green lace isn't popular?) and loved it from the minute I tried it on. I've worn it somewhat regularly for about one year and the band has only stretched minimally. I still wear it on the outermost hooks with no sliding of the band. The shape is great for me, as the seams in the middle line up perfectly with my nipples so the unlined bra takes the exact shape of my breasts with no gaps or spillage, and definitely has nice lift! Being an unlined bra, you might have to worry about a cool breeze if ...worn under a thin shirt in public. The gore tends to dig in ever so slightly when new, but once the bra is more broken in this is no longer an issue. Poly mesh dries quickly after washing, which is a nice bonus. I have sensitive skin, but it isn't itchy at all! Pros: Great shape, great fit, long-lasting, and super cute if you want to show off to someone special...! Cons: Not so modest under thin tops, quite stiff when new Read more 80 more words
This bra fits in the wire (root), the gore is the right height for me, but the cup runneth over, the band is very comfortable as well, but the straps dig in (this I believe has to do with my breast tissue being too big for the cup). The cup pushes breast tissue down and out giving a very squished fit.
When I first purchased the bra it was comfortable but a bit tight in the cup, but I thought that would be okay since I was loosing weight (and still am), As I have lost weight the cup still remains too tight (not loosing weight in the bust area).
Soma in general makes great bras, but they don't carry a broad enough range of sizes to fit someone like me.
This seemed to fit well in the store but I can't wear it now. I just can't do it. Cups are too wide. I have the same problem as I do with other full coverage bras where my right cup folds in at the top when I lean or sit. Starts to poke into my sternum and sides after sitting. Very soft though...
This is the first properly fit bra I've worn. The so-called "professional bra fitters" put me in a 34 B, but with the Sensous Sides I wear a 32 C. It is my current favorite, but I'm looking for something better. I got this bra because of the side support, a lot of my breast tissue has migrated to my underarms and possibly my back. Besides the prices ($50 retail) I don't have any complaint. However I'm planning to try something with a taller/higher wing for additional side support.
I really like the way this bra fits. It is snug without being binding. And, it is very pretty. It is a size larger than I normally wear, meaning it seems to run a bit small. The underwires seem to extend a bit higher on the outsides than I like. Even so, it is very comfortable to wear.
I love this bra, but I have it in a too small cup size. It's a perfect fit for my smaller breast, but the larger one spills over. The wire width is perfect for my narrow roots. The band is also comfortable. The straps could be a little closer together (I like bands with really narrow straps), as they do fall off my shoulders sometimes. I will probably try this bra on in one or two cup sizes larger now that I know how to put on a bra properly!
EDIT (after a couple months' wear): The band doesn't seem to ride up as I wear it, but there is a bit more than two fingers' space under the band. I think I prefer a bit of a tighter band. I fill the cups decently when my breasts are swollen, but the cups are definitely too big most days.
This bra moves well as my breasts move (no to little gapping between breast and bra). Very comfortable although underwire seems to put pressure on my ribcage at certain angles (leaning to the side, sometimes when slouching).
Hands down the best fitting gear I've ever owned!! This bra is FAB! I have always been a hard to fit 32DD-G. Don't go to walmart to buy my girls new gear. Sadly I have always had to forgo the cutesy little B's and C's all the other ladies have been able to flaunt. I felt like a mix of a monster and a freak asking the ladies at the fitting rooms if they even carried my size. They looked at me discussed, as tho I were obscene for even having the gall to inquire about such nonsense.

NOT ALL LARGE BREASTED WOMEN HAVE LARGE RIB CAGES AND/OR LET THEMSELVES GO COMPLETELY!!! SOME OF US TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES AND WE DESERVE BEAUTIFUL BOULDER HOLDERS TOO!!
I found this brand second hand and thank the Lord I did. I've never spent a better $5 at Goodwill in my life. I have babied my 34G with daily washings by hand afraid I wouldn't be able to find another one like it! It's comfy, well sewn, soft and seamed perfectly!
This bra is super soft and actually minimizes. However, the wire feels like it digs into my ribs when sitting/slouching/leaning. Standing up straight is just fine. Gore is not flat against my skin at any point. The underwire ending at the gore feels fine, but it looks like it may dig in with wear. Gaps appear between my breast and the bra with movement, especially when crossing my arm over my body. This was not something I was not able to feel or observe the gaps under clothes but became apparent in photographs.
I only own this because my mom insisted on buying me a brand new bra for my wedding, and I keep it around because it's the only thing I've got that gives me sexy cleavage, but it doesn't get too much wear. I really wish my boobs were small enough to have a sexy bra that fit properly (my real size is 34J, the bra in question is 40G).
I just love this bra. It's already my favorite - I'd wear it every day if I could! The cups give such great support, the shoulder straps don't dig in, and the great design of the sides has finally solved the spillage problem I've had with every other bra for years. The 36 DD is a perfect fit for me. I love that this bra is completely feminine - it looks like so much more than just a functional piece of underwear. I wish that the cups were just a little thicker in front to prevent nipple show-through without concealers, but overall I've never been happier with a bra.
This bra could be very comfortable, but the band is too large and stretchy. Also, the strap adjusters are at the top of the strap and dig into my shoulders. Stupid placement, no matter the boob size.
