I wish this bra was made in more sizes! It's the most comfortable and supportive bra I've worn in the 10 years I've been wearing one. The perfect width for my narrow rooted breasts but the cup is too shallow for me producing quadboob. If I gently bend the underwire to conform to my ribs the gore tacks and stays tacked. Leaving the wires straight the gore *almost* tacks. Really sexy, supportive, and comfortable if you fit into them. I find the demi version has slightly more quadboob effect than the Perfect Coverage Body by Victoria because it IS a lower cut, but there's also less fabric in the armpit area which means it's more comfortable for me and others like me where our tail of spence really gets irritated by extra fabric.

I bought this bra at the beginning of the summer (or whenever VS had that major sale). I normally don't buy their bras, in fact this was my first (and probably last) one. The straps are, for some reason, not fully adjustable. There's really no reason for this and it definitely impacts the fit. When I tried it on in store, it fit well enough and was comfy and cheap enough for me to justify the purchase. However, I now have the band on the tightest or second tightest (of 4) hooks because I feel like the band is too loose. When I bought it, I was definitely ... not aware that my ribcage is 28.5 inches, not 30. Before I realized that the straps in the back converted (no one told me this very important fact when I bought it), I had to wear it on the shortest setting. Even then the straps were too long and this effected the fit. The cups gapped up top and I had a lot of empty space. I assumed it was the wrong shape for me or even a size too big. I still wore it, but it was not very supportive nor the best looking fit. Now that I've realized I can convert the straps however, it's a smidge too small! I have breast tissue all the way up to my collar bone it feels like (I am *very* short) and the strap kinda cuts in. The cups are at the same time too wide and not wide enough: the wires are at least .5 inches too wide but the cup cuts into my underarm area leaving lumps of what I assume is breast tissue just chilling out. I get a tiny bit of quad but it's not that noticeable. The best part? I now have cleavage! So, in summary: the straps convert! Just pop those suckers out and cross them over. Big help if they were too long before. The cups-weird. Too wide but also too narrow-could be because it's altogether too small. Band-very stretchy. Comfortably wide but on the second to last/last hooks over a couple of months. Comfort-hella comfy. It gets a 10/10 here. Durability/quality-yes, I machine wash this. My sinks in my dorm won't hold water so I can't handwash very well. I wash it on delicate, in a bag, never machine dry it. I haven't had issues before but on one strap there's a cut-I need to fix it or it'll probably snap. I've never had this issue before. The cups seem relatively shallow, the bottom collapses. Sorry for rambling, but overall if you know you fit into a 32DDD for sure, this is a good bra to buy. Gotta watch out for the quality but overall it's pretty comfy. I wouldn't buy it again but only because the cup's too small and the band's too long/stretchy.

As always, love the Body bras for their comfort and different looks and colors.
If I could, I would buy another one of these in the blue, white lace, blush lace, and kona metallic lace. I friggin love these.

Fit-wise, the 32DD's work fine for depth.
This is about 8.5" depth, and wires are 5.5"ish.
The wires are about average. I think if they were narrower, I might have an issue with depth, but since they're wide and my tissue is (only slowly firming up)mostly really soft, it's easily flattened and distributed elsewhere in the cups.
I think that's the correct reason of why I've never experienced issues with the Body, ... or many other VS bras.

All in all, probably good for soft tissue that is malleable and needs any type wires(unless you plan to make this an every day bra because-migration) and average projection, to pretty perfect for firmer, shallow boobs that need average ish wires.

For me, I don't wear these every day. Only for special occasions or quite the opposite- loungey occasions, and when I don't want to feel a firm band or feel the need to have the *perfect* bra. I get pretty compulsive about perfection in almost everything, but it gets tiring, so that's my favorite time for these bras(when I realize that I don't have to care so much every single day).

Shape appears more shallow, but again, works for me. I get a pretty side heavy(?), teardrop, minimized shape with these, which is sometimes a good change from my in your face Decos(even though they're some of my top favorites!).

Now that I'm back on Spiro and my boobs are filling out again, I'm a little less crazy over padded bras again, but I still love them all.

Otherwise, gore is pretty close, cups don't taper off to the sides, straps are a good width apart and adjust long enough, fabric is my favorite ever for bras, but gets dirty very easily. I got marks on the inside of the cups after wearing this a few hours- and yeah, I'm also compulsively clean. Lol this material just picks up every little thing and I don't even know where half of it is from.

The color of this bra is also more of a Creamsicle. I couldn't find it online, so I don't know the proper name. It looked more coral in the store lighting.

Overall, good bra for comfort. Not a super supportive feeling band, but still doesn't stretch over 31" without wire distortion, and it feels firm at 31". I still can't fit an entire hand underneath, I just don't feel AS supported as I do in my 30 bands- and I realize these aren't a perfect fit, but I still love them https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" />

This is a basic quality VS bra; if it had fitted properly, I don't think it would be objectionable. However, it does stretch out significantly, and the fabric pills around the edges, which is particularly noticeable in the beige color.

Some of my problems with this bra are clearly due to fit issues; however, I suspect that even someone properly fitted into this bra, would have issues, particularly in the larger sizes. It has stretched out considerably, and the fabric in the wings bunches oddly. It is not uncomfortable, though, except insofar as it isn't supportive for me, and is a decently attractive plain t-shirt bra.

It fits like 40dd. The band is too big and the cup is too small for my 34hh/j breasts. But I'll keep this for my sister bought it for me as a present.

Aside the sizing issue, it is a quality t-shirt bra. The material is really soft. I appreciate its broad band. It gives very lifted and round shape.

This is a very well made bra, and it fits well enough. I fill the cups well when I scoop and swoop. Major problem is this bra only comes in standard sizes, but the smallest band/biggest cup fits well enough for the money. Pretty and well made, I like that the cups are thick enough for pointy nipples.

I'm 50-50 on this bra. It baaaaasically fits, but there are some tweaky things about it that make it undesirable. Let's break it down:

Pros: Soft, padded straps! AND the back clasp is also covered in a thin, soft padding, and the hook portion is long enough that the hooks don't ever touch my skin, if I wore it on the loosest hooks. It's kind of surprising how little things like that make a bra more pleasant to wear, as if it were some kind of super-genius technology. It's not. It's just soft fabric and padding. I've always found VS to be a bit ahead of the curve on ... things like this, despite their other flaws. Looks-wise, it's an inoffensive black lace bra. I really, really like the back clasps that attach the straps to the bra, allowing for standard or cross-back fit. They aren't just regular little hooks (risky business) but in fact have little pop-n-lock plastic clasps that seem pretty fool-proof. And since I'm one of those people whose pecs/armpits seem to always be irritated by the outer edge of the cups/straps, wearing a bra racer- or cross-back spares me this sort of chafing. So, kudos for the option and the mechanism, VS. Otherwise, pretty much every other part of the look/fit scores a "fine". It's fine.

Cons: I think it's time to face facts with this one. By and large, I don't. like. molded. cup. bras. First of all, I think it'd be much sexier if it weren't opaque lining beneath this fancy lace. More importantly, I just feel like they're so up in my business, trying too hard to change my shape, and more often than not they give me fit issues for it. In this case, since there's a discrepancy between my shape/size and the bra's molded cup, the gore doesn't tack properly. Since the band on this bra (and VS bras in general) is very stretchy, I could probably solve it by going down a band size and up a cup, but OH WAIT. THERE IS NO SMALLER BAND. OR BIGGER CUP. Sorry for the CAPSY, but what the ever-loving-eff Victoria's Secret? I am usually not the biggest-boobed lady in the room, and I'm already at the maximum cup size AND smallest band size?

This is madness. (This is Sparta?) Have we tried to petition VS to expand into the full-bust market yet? Because I'm sooooo tired of trying to half-ass a fit into a bra that would otherwise be fine.

Darn you Vicky!!! I still can't understand why Victoria's Secrets refuses to expand their size range! They're so outdated, and it makes me very sad https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> This is the softest, most comfortable bra I have ever put on my chest!! Unfortunately, it's too small in the cups and a little too loose in the band (even on the tightest hook). The gore doesn't tack, it's not even touching my sternum. It's not completely unwearable, but I will have to keep readjusting throughout the day (pulling the band back down and scooping n swooping).

I love the memory foam lined cups, and the ... fabric is just SUPER soft! It's like a pair of fuzzy socks for your boobs. I'm really bummed this is too small. I'll still wear it though. I just thought it would be a much better fit since my Body unlined Demi fits in a 32DDD. And I really wanted just a plain, simple t-shirt kind of bra, NOT a padded push-up! Oh well, maybe one of these days VS will get with the times and make smaller bands beyond a 32 and larger cups past a DDD!
