Well, it's obviously much too small, both band and cup, but I *love* the incredibly dramatic, bounteous boobs effect! I have a couple of tops that actually work great with this bra, but I'd really like to find one that actually fits that gives me a similar look. I also like that the straps are way far apart (good for the wide neckline) and that the cups are cut low and almost horizontal (good for the low-cut square neckline).
Anyway, 'tis not a bra that I normally wear. It's only for those occasions that are ridiculously silly and oh-so-much fun. *laughing* And I wouldn't be caught dead wearing this without clothes. Not a pretty sight.
I own three of these, in hot pink, aqua and black. I should really just give them away to a good home.
This is the most flattering sports bra I have ever owned! It provides excellent support during yoga, running, weight lifting, etc. Once you get it on it is extremely comfortable! There is only one draw back to this bra...it is a bitch to get on and off! Think of trying to put on leather pants during shark week, or getting into a neoprene wet suit...after strenuous workouts, I have actually had my husband help me remove it. But I still love it, it just looks and fits so damn good after it's on!
Band too loose even at tightest hook and cups too small. Slight quadboob after swoop and scoop. After wearing a while, boobs migrate back into wings and do not fill cups. Covering on front of cup wrinkles easily.
I normally don't fit well in Victoria's Secret bras unless I take in the band at the sides/back, and also the center front gore. This is a bra I tried when it first came out and it did not fit right at all. But I was in VS yesterday and asked if they had 32DD in stock (normally they don't even carry 32C in my area, nevermind in D or DD) and luckily there was one, so I tried it on and it fit pretty good (they must have changed the shape because this one fit much better and it was the same size I had tried a ...year ago). The only reason I like VS bras is because they are really comfortable! They might be loose in certain areas, but it's nothing a little needle and thread won't fix. They're slightly cheaper - price wise - than Panache and Freya, not that great of a size range, but their fabrics and elastics hold up much better than those 2 brands, in my opinion.
Mine is the DD cup, so there is a sliver of padding at the bottom of the cup. It really is just a subtle uplift. I don't look any different in it than I do the Freya Deco (minus the fact this one sits a little lower in front). The cup itself is a bit more than just lightly lined, about 1/4" thickness at the center of the cup, which tapers to 1/16" at the tops of the cup. Great for no show-through. The straps are fully adjustable, with rhinestone detailing on the fronts. The center gore is about the same width as my size 28 bras, so it's better than most in this size at keeping you front and center. I realize it's 2 full band sizes bigger than what I should be wearing but for some reason, certain styles from VS run a little smaller in the band than other styles and brands.

Got this Victoria Secret Underwired Very Sexy High Neck Lace Bralette (I believe, a discontinued bra) I don't hate all Victoria Secret bras. I Despise the narrow size range and poor fit advice and often the quality and price points, but I do appreciate that when I have last looked they have expanded beyond their t-shirt and super push up bras. I always hope they will expand their band and cup sizes, because even when I have found bras from there that work for me, usually the band will be too big. I have been losing weight, so I somehow wound up on their site looking for discounted ...bras around side 30DD - 32DDD. I did see some variety and decent sales, but did not find anything to get that would even maybe fit for breif bedroom attire. A few hours later I saw this bra posted on a secondhand seller page new with tags for cheap and decided to bite. It came in like a day, from just across the state. I somehow forgot I ordered it, so getting a bra in my mailbox always makes me happy.
The bra itself seems okay. Maybe not the best quality, but I was curious. I figured that the material would be a semi Stretchy fine lace, which it seems to be which allows for my volume that otherwise probably would not have fit. The lace does not feel too scratchy. There are a few loose threads which it may have arrived to the origenal seller like this (I saw reviews of similar sale bras with complaints of feeling cheaply made) that or perhaps it's from being tried on by the seller. The underwire looks kind of odd, but is not as uncomfortable as expected. It does help push my breasts sort of in a wonky direction, but the matetial is not so stretchy that it contains it somewhat. The underwire is lower than the IMF of one of my breasts, but that almost always happens (its an inch smaller in almost all messurments and higher up on my chest than my other side) Each cup is about 6 inches wide. The "height" luckily is not much taller than my vertical chest (nipple to nape of neck) measurment. The band is not especially firm so i new it would be a bit big there. The straps are thin, and come down to form a Triangle at the band on each side which I have liked in some of my past bras. The straps almost don't adjust enough for me. I have no cleavage in this bra but there isn't supposed to be. It somewhat reminds me of a very sexy balconett bra I had from here, although a totally different style, it had a similar strap band cup width and black lace over nude material to it. I do not adore this bra. It's not the most comfortable, getting a tad itchy at my neck. It's also not a great fit, but I am debating wearing it for a date night. I do hope Victoria Secret continues to expand their bras sizes, styles, and models if they expand (I'm not sure what is up with the company, but that's for another post.) This bra is sort of cute and not horribly unsupportive for short term use. I would have been unhappy if I had paid full price or even close to it, and I am greatful I got a good deal on it that I'm satisfied enough. I Hope to get an xs cosabella bralette some day!

This bra is too small but I wanted to try a different Victoria Secret Bra with a razor back. The bra band was tight to start but I suspect it will stretch. It is a 32 band, when I wear 28 and 30 bands. The wires were alright but the push up padded cups were a little bulky, though a little less so than my 36DD push ups. I do like that Victotia Secret has low gores, which is safe to me with my inner fullness. I was envious of the look of my sisters new victoria secret razorback bra, and was looking for it in a different size but didn't want to buy it new at that high new price. I wish they went down to a 28 band and GG cups because even this 32FFF doesnt fit well enough, then I would be more impressed.

This 36DD Victoria Secret Super Plunge Bra origenally felt like it fit okay, but I now know that the 36 band has always been too big and this does not fit me at all now. Previously this bra felt both too big and too small at the same time, though the 34DD and 34DDD felt too small. After recently losing weight I noticed from behind that my band was up so high on my back, with the straps tightened all the way. I could also stretch the band out many inches which makes sense. The bands seem to stretch quickly over time with average wear too. At my ...heaviest weight/size I was maybe measuring 32inches around my rib cage (maybe less.) I now go for size 28 and 30 bands. My breasts would tend to bulge out of it at the top middle. I will admit the most redeeming quality of this and other Victoria Secret/Pink bras, especially the plunges, is that they have a super short gore that doesnt tend to get in the way of my tissue, and did give me a little lift. I feel the wires are too wide for me and the padded push up is too bulky. My chest is big enough now that I don't need all the extra bulkiness, I would rather have a bra that lifts me up because it is patterned well. I wish Victoria Secret Pink carried smaller bands, I would be happier to try some more of their lacier bras. This is the bra type I use to buy once upon a time that I have broken up with. Thanks!

When I put this bra on, I was really impressed. It's so soft! The material is very light and smooth. I love the appearance. For reference, my shape: full on bottom, center full, narrow roots Edit: When I wear it for a full day, the gore starts to dig into the breast tissue a little. I think it might be too wide of a gore.
this bra fits me very well, i just never wore it because of the lacy texture being visible through sheer tops but i think it's a beautiful piece which is why i bought it in the first place
I spent my adolescence wearing ill-fitting VS bras that were three sizes too big in the band and four sizes too small in the cup, so I have long associated Victoria’s Secret with extreme discomfort and a lack of support. When I first resized with ABTF, VS didn’t sell my size anyway, so trying a properly fitting one in my old nemesis brand wasn’t even an option.
It feels somewhat surreal then to be several years into happily wearing Bras That Fit and stumble across this bra, which is extremely comfortable and supportive. Now that my size has changed, I can just squeak by within their matrix, which made me curious to try it. Fit-wise, the cups are snug but don’t quite cut in, and the band is firm but soft. It’s beautiful, soft, and unpadded. The wires are thick but not aggressive. I love the way it looks, and I don’t even notice I’m wearing it once it’s on, a feat previously only accomplished by a Comexim 3HC. It is, bizarrely, my most comfortable bra at the moment.
The fabric is comfortable and very soft, but the cups are way too wide for me and there's both gapping and extreme quad-boobing, along with the straps not staying where I place them.
This bra is surprisingly good for Victoria's Secret. I'm really happy I finally tried on of their 30 band bras. Band is less loose than other Victoria's Secret bras. Is open at the top edges of the cups. Great shape for tall rooted and slightly to moderately shallow.
I've had several VS bras over the years and have seen the band size pendulum swing form TTS - to oversized and super stretchy - and now back to TTS and firm. I used to wear a 32 band in the VS BBV line and now I am wearing a 34 band in the same model. The cups do seem to still run on the small side as I was 32C and now I'm a 34C in the same bra. I still have an old VS bra from the mid 90's when the bands were true and not very stretchy, in a 34B, and it still fits the same.
Ah, the dreaded VS. They sent me coupons somehow and I decided why not. The saleswoman measured me as 32C, and as far as I knew back then, she was on the dot because it was so refreshing wearing a new non-stretched bra. I've since scoured through the resources on ABTF and learned this is not true, but at least she used underbust and overbust measurements only, and I'm blessed with a pretty average build not that far off from the matrix.
Finally, a push-up that actually pushes up. I didn't think it was possible for someone my size to get butt cleavage but here we are. On the ...other hand, I can't tell if this is actually just a bad fit squeezing my breasts together. Everything is, as best as I can put it, mostly right. Like, so many slightly wrong things that aren't wrong enough to warrant changing sizes or getting rid of the bra. I quadboob on my bigger side, but it's hardly noticeable even to me. The band is stretchy and rides up over the course of the day, but feels pretty snug otherwise. The gore doesn't tack, but it's only like 7mm off. The wires are technically too narrow and don't cover all my tissue, but I have firm tissue that's mostly up front already so nothing gets poked. If I have any real complaints, it's the itchiness of the hook and eye part. Ye gods is it annoying to keep reaching back there. Read more 140 more words
bought before i found my actual size. cup width are good for me, but gore does not tack at all. the cups are slighty too far apart for me. very stretchy band. Lace is very pretty though.
Mission: Fight my way through the semi annual sale crowd and see if any Victoria's Secret bras work for me. I do enjoy some of their panties so I'm there either way. After some digging through bras I started to go by feel - I know their padded bras aren't going to work for me since I need that space in the cups. And most of their bras are super padded, so this quickly narrowed things down.
The result: This bra
This bra definitely doesn't have enough cup depth for me, but I like it pretty well. Similar fitting bras from other brands become uncomfortable due to the too shallow/too ...small fit, but this one is pretty comfy and provides a good shape. The cup is open enough on top that there is minimal cutting in on the tissue that doesn't fit in the cup.
This bra does make me realize the quality of other bras that I take for granted. After about a month of wearing 2-3x a week, this one is looking a faded along the wire and armpit areas. Meanwhile my beige Wacoal bras are hardly faded after 8+ months.
I would never pay full price for a VS bra, but they have pretty good sale prices so I would recommend exploring if you can sister size into their sizes. Plus, they're everywhere online for cheap - though being able to try them on makes it way easier. Read more 130 more words
This bra is super comfortable and gives a nice lift. The memory foam padding adds a lot of comfort. The straps are covered in a similar material that is super soft!
The cups look small, although there is a nice smooth transition from the cup to your boob. It does look like you could fall right out of it, though.
