It's a good bra, good for everyday use. The cups are a little close together for me, but I'm a transgender woman and my breasts are far apart and side heavy, while shallow near the center and top.

This is a wirefree uniboob sports bra with convertible straps. The floppy construction makes the shoulder straps carry the weight. Not sure if the cups are too small or not. This model did not work for me and it's now available for sale here on bratabase.

This is the same model of Vanity Fair bra that I wore in the 1980's in my late teens/early 20's. It's way to small to fit me but it would have back then. The Lace piquant (75-164) has been discontinued for years I've read somewhere. And on the label it says Made in USA. And I know now that Vanity Fair is made over seas.The underwire cups are unlined and have a diagonal seam with stretch lace on top and stretchy nylon below. The stretch straps adjust in the front.
Pretty neat seeing one of these again. Brings back memories!

This is an extremely wide wire and band . This had close-ish to the cup volume I needed but no where near the projected narrowness and actual support needed for my heavy pendulant breasts. This bra left marks under my arms where the wires would poke along with the gouges in my rib. I was more than amazed with my next bra of polish descent but made me more confused of my usa size.

This bra seemed to be an ok bra but the cups were a bit too small for my boobs. . Seems like a medium quality bra. I used to love Vanity Fair bras. My 1st underwire bras were Vanity Fair's back in junior high school.

It gives really good projection which is very hard to find with a bra when one has big boobs.

Made of cotton.

Has four hooks

Very comfortable to wear

The center gore doesn't lie flat and the cups don't properly cover my breasts.

The bra is comfortable and none of it itches or irritates my sensitive skin.

The cup material is soft and the vivid dark blue is beautiful.

The cup and band are comfortable, but the cups are too far appart which is uncomfortable because my boobs are closer together.

I'm not fond on the fabric's quality and it makes you sweat, it feels like plastic. It looks good underneath the clothes but I don't feel too confident about the material.

The straps are way too thick, it feels like two small ropes together, it's 0.5cm thick and 1.7cm wide, I can't wear this bra with strappy tops or anything with cleavage because it shows too much and looks awful.

I got this bra for free as a gift so I'm not at all upset by it being a bad fit for me. This bra doesn't fit me at all, it's the wrong size, shape, everything. And I could overlook that if it weren't for how cheap the bra feels. But I did learn that a have very narrow roots and this particular brand probably wouldn't accommodate that well in the correct size.
Some pros: it's really comfy despite not fitting, the extreme stretchiness makes it pretty forgiving in the band size, it has detachable straps, the underwires length is perfect!
The cons: it's way too stretchy to ... be supportive if you wear the correct size, the wires are too flexible, it stains. Easily. It feels cheap in general, and the silicone strips meant to help it grip are pretty ineffective.


I'd recommend this bra for smaller busted persons (probably under a D for sure), persons with a large band/small bust, and individuals with shallow, wide roots. I don't think this bra is sturdy enough even with straps to really hold the weight of a larger bust and there just isn't enough room for projected breasts. I'd recommend not using it as a strapless bra due to the flimsiness and the ineffective grip strip.

Size runs small. I'm 34D in most brands but should have bought this in 36D.

I cut out the extremely thick padding (6,5 mm) to see if it would work better. If the zipper on your winter jacket is broken this could be a bra for you. It now has a inner layer of a firm knit and an outer layer of thin strechy material. The cups are roomier but still snug. This looks like a push up balcony bra. I will wear it a few times to see if it works. Next step would be to cut out the firm inner layer and just have a ... thin stretchy cup.

"Silicone gripper elastic lines the underwire, underband and side and back edges for a stay-put fit". Not sure why it is necessary to use silicone on the underwire. I have never seen a bra with this detail before. I like the wide band with 4 hooks. I belive a strapless should have wide band and 3 hooks to fit well so this is a bonus feature. I have no doubt this will stay in place with the amount of silicone inside. I recommend an extender, it does feel tight in the beginning.

(Just wanted to add that I wore a red wool sweater with this bra so some pink transfer can be seen).

----------------

Hook Counts:

4-Hook = 34-42C, 34-38D, 34DD
5-Hook = 44C, 40-44D, 38-44DD

Quad boob, sits too low, flattens boobs, back sometimes raises up.

Great T-shirt bra, it would work very well for someone shallow, inner full and either close-set or wide set due to the low gore.

The wires are a bit hard. Decent bra but I prefer Ewa Michalak.

Not a super flattering bra, but this isn't my correct size. I wear it as a sports bra because it has ok support (better than my crappy sports bras). I get a lot of underboob sweat with this one and it starts to rub and chafe if I wear it for longer than a few hours.

If it were in my size it would probably rank much higher for comfort.

The internal lining has started coming apart and leaves a weird stippled texture across my boobs that is visible through camis and thin shirts.

Amazing comfort but not as good of coverage as I would have liked!

This is a good bra, but unsure about my fit. Great for people looking for a cute bra but with larger bust!

This bra is a soft-cup t-shirt molded cup bra. THE whole bra seems to be made of moisture wicking material. This bra is in nude and it's a 40B which is too small for me in the cups. The back has 3 hooks and it has adjustable straps in the back. It looks like this sturdy soft cup would give a nice smooth appearance.

My breasts couldn't quite fill this bra out, but if you are wide-set with a low gore(?) I would definitely recommend. It's very comfortable.

A molded cup, full coverage, underwire bra. This was my favorite bra for a long time (until pregnancy/nursing changed my shape). Looks great under a T-shirt. Reasonably priced and easily available. Often available in fun colors (seasonally).

UPDATED REVIEW JULY 2019
About this Bra

Purchasing:
* Paid $21.55 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns (not Amazon Wardrobe)
* Available in white and beige.


Band:
* opaque stretch knit
* Elastic at top of band.
* Wing support: no seaming nor boning
* 3-piece band, short gore (nearly a plunge, but not quite that low)
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.

Straps:
* front is same non-stretch knit as cups, ... back is smooth elastic
* front part is stiff (stand up on their own)
* full adjust
* straight back

Cups:
* seamless molded foam full cup
* unpadded, flexible underwire
* Outer fabric is a non-stretch knit with a damask floral pattern. Inner fabric is a smooth, non-stretch knit.


Fit

About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares

Band:
* length: good
* wings: too short
* axillary skin spillage

Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.

Cup:
* Gives breasts a round, projected shape.
* Wires too narrow. Breast pushes the flexible wire away from body. Even when I manage to scoop all tissue inside the wire, it just leaks out again.
* Top of cup smooth
* Bottom of cup: filled

Straps:
* not too far apart
* barely adjust short enough to prevent slipping when new (when stretched out, do not adjust short enough)

Appearance Under Clothing:
* Smooth under a thin T-shirt.
* Not visible under a v-neck.
* Barely visible in armholes of sleeveless shirt (only with extremes of movement).

Assessment and Plan:
* When my breasts were firmer (before pregnancy & breastfeeding), this bra was a favorite, particularly under T-shirts and tank tops.
* Now, the wires lack the strength to keep my breast tissue inside the cup making this bra uncomfortable to wear for very long. I often wear it on laundry day and scoop & sweep hourly.

I wore this when I was till wearing the wrong size but it's a nice bra. For me, the cups seemed a little on the narrower size compared to other 36DDs I had owned. The convertible straps are are nice but I often had to loosen the straps as much as possible for the most comfortable fit.
