The perfect shape bra holds up to it's name and offers great support and shape. It is super soft and fit me without any gaps or spillage.

This is my absolute favorite bra! It fits me so well and makes me feel comfortable, confident, supported, and sexy. It's almost everything I've ever wanted in a bra. My only criticism is that the straps don’t hold their positions for long causing them to loosen and need to be readjusted a few times a day. I can easily get the straps fixed/replaced so I don't think of that as a major issue. I wish this bra was still available!

I love the super soft fabric, and was able to find some pretty cute colors and patterns online. The lace being on the outside of the cups is nice because of my sensitive skin, but now that I'm a larger size, I find that this model doesn't give me the structure or shape that I'd like to have. Still pretty comfy for a lazy T-shirt kind of day though.

For being a VS bra, this sports bra actually fits really well. It gives me some uniboob and compresses more than encapsulates (35.25" measurement around the bust with bra on, compared to 36" for Freya and Panache bras); for me, it's not as bounce-resistant as my Freya and Panache sports bras. Fit-wise, it's not a big deal - my tissue is pretty squishy, so even though the cup depth is smaller than ideal for my breasts, the cup height covers them, and there's no discomfort at all. Like most VS bras, it's super, super comfortable. I also keep it around because the multicolored splatter print is really cute and goes with variety of solid color bottoms. And, though I have no need for this, I just learned the white part of the print *glows in the dark*!! Too cool. It stays.

I'm not sure the exact model number for this bra, but I do know it's the newest version of the Dream Angels Demi, which has some improvements from the previous model.
First off, the band has tall wings and a scoop back and is a very pretty, open lace that has a mesh lining to help with support. I don't get the 'back bulge' on this one like I did with the previous model (which didn't have the mesh). Secondly, the trim along the top of the cup & band is smaller than the lace on the previous model, and therefore sits flatter and doesn't ... show under a thin/tight shirt.
The smooth molded cups are fairly projected, have a super soft, thin memory foam that doesn't add bulk, (but enough modesty to prevent headlights), and give a nice, smooth, rounded shape. The straps are fully adjustable and have plastic clips in the back to convert into a racerback.
My only complaint is the gore, which at 1 1/8", is pretty wide. Even though it lays flat OK, with my 1/4" close-set breasts it lacks the center projection I need and causes center quadding. So far, it doesn't seem to be uncomfortable, but I know it's far from ideal. I doubt it would be an issue for someone who has more spacing.
Of course, VS bras have a reputation of their bands and straps stretching out very quickly. So I'm hoping maybe they have made that improvement as well. Time will tell.

For reference, this VS Demi has nearly identical cups to the Panache Odette; the differences being the front straps are set slightly wider apart and the wings are taller. But otherwise, the underwire is as close to the same length and shape as you could find, which is surprising to me, coming from two completely different brands.

Holy SEXY!! I have wanted this bra since I first saw it!! Wow!! So unique and bold! I want this in all the other colors now! It's just so hard to find the right size.

This bra is surprisingly very comfortable! No straps to deal with or slipping off your shoulders, no padding getting in the way, no readjusting necessary. I love the halter style of this bra and the fact that it has wires to keep everything in place. I was really unsure what size to try since it's only available in up to a D cup (and I wear a 32DDD in Vicky). I wanted to try ... the 34D but I knew the band would be too loose. I'm so glad I didn't now! I really never thought the 32D would accommodate the girls, but it actually fits very nicely. If anything, it seems a little baggy and there is some empty space around the bottom of the cup. The lace doesn't have much stretch to it and adjusting the halter strap around the neck gives a bit more room in the "cups." I am pretty surprised at just how roomy they are for being a D cup. Clearly, this bra isn't going for much support. For what it's intended for, it serves its purpose https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> This is def a "sexy time" bedroom piece. The sheer lace, keyhole center and halter strap (which gives it a choker sort of look) scream SEXY!! And I love it!! The rhinestone horseshoe at the "gore" (there really isn't much of a gore on this) adds a little bling along with the gold metal hardware. And it's not really a red colorway as it is a very bright deep pink. I'll have to post some pics and measure it when I get a chance!! I highly recommend this bra!!

Really huge on me, both in the band and cups. The cups have the right depth but they reach my armpits in height. I wish this bra came in a 28F/FF, because it's great quality and soooo soft. I imagine if I could find one in my size, it would be the most comfy bra ever.

I just received this in a bra swap - I already have one in grey so know it's a reasonably good fit for me. I wasn't that excited about the pinky blush colour but in person it's waaay prettier than I was expecting, it's got a slight sheen to it. It also works as a shockingly good English rose nude for my reasonably pale pinky complexion, score! The band stretches to over 35 inches so I am wearing it straight on the second to tightest (out of 4) sets of hooks, and this didn't ride up on my trip out and about today. These bras ... are very light, comfy and easy to wear yet provide a natural yet quite rounded shape under clothes - it's not that evident in these pics and my side profile in these looks pretty flat/not round but under clothes it seems far more satisfying https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />. I will wear this more than I originally thought I would, so that is a nice surprise. The straps are thin and made from a really soft material that I love. I think this one is a slightly older version than the one I already had (and bought recently in the last few months) as the charm in the middle of the gore is a little different. The cups on this one feel wider (will have to check measurements to see if they actually are) but I'm not sure if wearing this one on a tighter hook would pull the wires out at all and that's why? Although I'm fairly shallow with little upper fullness the cup fits really well with no wrinkling at all, but I think due to the stretch lace cup is could accommodate a fuller/more projected boob. A nice light basic, very pleased.

This bra is so pretty and fun for the bralette trend. I found it at the VS Semi Annual Sale for cheap and then found a pair of very sexy matching panties. It's a good addition to my collection - now I have this color, neon orange, pink, and black bralettes. The problem is that I find myself reaching for one of them so often that my wired, well fitting bras aren't getting much love! Ah well, it's summer and I enjoy the outfits with these. Bonus is that it's easier and cheaper to throw in the wash after one or two wears after getting all sweaty.

My other ... bralettes are all longlines, so this is my first bralette with so little fabric. It's different - Sometimes I get the sensation that the band is sitting on my tissue around front, but it actually isn't. The cups cover enough of my breasts and I don't experience quadding, so it's much better than the VS longline version I tried in XS. The straps took some adjusting to get to a point where they weren't too loose, but also not causing the band to ride up. Similar to the longline, the bralette comes with cheap little pads that don't lay quite right. I took them out quickly. The straps on this bra don't dig into my shoulder nearly as bad as on the XS. I do feel more unsupported and free in this bralette than in my other bralettes, but I don't entirely mind it - the lack of support might be bad for some, but I'm okay with it this summer.

This bralette is super cute, but I bought it on impulse at a size that was a bit too small. I am around a 30E - the band on this XS fits well, but I have to recommend someone with a smaller cup volume pick up the XS. I would be better off with a size S. However, it is wearable with the slight quadding I was getting, but I picked up one in a better size at the semi-annual sale https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

The pads it comes with are super cheap and look weird on. A few other users echoed this sentiment recently.. It's best to take them out, and I prefer unlined anyway! This is why I ranked quality as "Okay." The comfort is also ranked "Okay" because the straps dig in and leave red marks since they're so thin - I'm not sure this would be helped by a larger size.

I LOVE this bra! I just lost a ton of weight (almost 70lbs in about a year) so my breasts are continually shrinking. I stopped by the VS Semi Annual sale to find something cheap. I probably should have gotten a 32D because it is a little loose but it wasn't available. Either way I'm super happy with how this fits, how it looks, and how it feels. However, the construction seems pretty cheap so I don't expect it to last very long, hopefully just long enough for me to stabilize my bra size.

Continuing on my trend of adding measurements, bra #2. This bra runs true to size (even in the band). It has average-wide wires, which is about standard for Victoria's Secret bras.

This is the biggest cup size in the smallest band and I got talked into buying two as the material was very soft.
I actually like it and find it comfortable for everyday wear.
Also, light exercise.
Do wish it fit better!
Both bras have lasted 12+ months of continuous wear, so they are good quality to me.

First off, I have no idea why mine is considered "silver violet lace", as it is not violet in any way, shape, or form. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" />

Aside from that, I spent literally about 3 hours in VS yesterday trying to distinguish between certain bras and see which ones fit me.
I noticed that in this model, I can wear a 32D or 32C, depending on the material used. Oh, VS. So in the "coconut lace", those run rather large, and in the plain colors, they also run semi larger. In this lace one, it ran smaller. Wtf indeed. Also, as I suspected in the past, ... the "Dream Angels" bras, which have always been my favorite overall, fit my shape best, as long as they're not push-ups.
This one and the others I tried have narrower wires and deeper cups compared to say, the Body By Victoria Demis. The cups are also a smidge closer.

This bra in particular has wider wires than I need, but they still aren't particularly wide- just for me personally.
VS has also started making tighter bands recently, so I'd say this fits more like a 30-31" band. I noticed this during Christmas when I was trying things on. The only bands that have remained really stretchy seem to be the Body By Victoria's. Panties are also running smaller. I'm a little confused, but whatevs! VS's where I've been in east and west PA and Delaware seem to be sizing a little better also, which is how I even ended up here in the first place since I had always worn 34-36A-C's until 2014. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll have smaller bands and more varied shapes soon, just because it's much more convenient for me to head over to a mall when I need just a basic T shirt bra once in a while.

Speaking of the band, I would actually not recommended buying this particular bra. In the plain colors, yes, but not in this one. The band is VERY itchy and kind of irritating. I unfortunately didn't notice this even though I tried it on several times to make sure I wanted this one xD
I've owned various DA bras and never experienced this before.

But anyway, this is probably the one VS bra that I tried that is almost perfect. I would actually recommend this to anyone who still likes VS but realized their bras don't work for their shape. I found a similar DA bra that is a true half cup shape and has removable straps, which also mostly worked. My only issue with that was that it was closed on top and gave me bubble boobs because of that. Perhaps it would have worked in a 32C, but I couldn't find one to test.
This one will work for average projection to slightly more projection (I've lost alot of tissue, but looking at myself, I am still clearly projected), and average-slightly narrow width.

I find VS's sizing differences rather annoying, as their width is about 1" more as you go up, but depth is only a few centimeters. I am getting the 32C in the plain color which worked better overall, but is lacking in depth by only about 0.2", I swear. This isn't an issue for my right, smaller side, but it's a little annoying for my left.
In any case, I've needed plain beige/blush T shirt bras, and I had a gift card, so might as well until I can order some Basics from Comexim..which will likely be after this coming order.

About the rest of the bra, the straps are fully adjustable, cup distance is less than in most VS bras, cup depth is a little more, bands in the newer DA brs are a little tighter, and cups are overall comfortable. Band is itchy in the "silver lace" overlay bra, and not very comfortable.

Appearance-wise... it's funny, because the more Polish bras I buy, the cheaper VS bras look, and the less appealing they look as well. And they are relatively the same price. This was the less practical bra of the few I was considering, but probably the most sexy. I can't get over the cheap appareance of many of their bras lately, but overall I like this one. It has light pink lace cups with a minimal silver foil overlay, same material for the band, and black straps. Yeah, the straps are what did it for me. I had almost this exact bra before with the same pink straps and I didn't like it nearly as much. xD

Overall, I like it, and it will work for now while I'm preparing/waiting for my Comexim order. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

When I saw that VS' "Pink" line had finally expanded their size range to include us DD+ girls, with the availability of the 32DDD in the "Wear Everywhere" models, I was ecstatic!!! Not only that, but that it was on sale online for only $12.99?!?! I couldn't pass it up!! For months I've been contemplating whether or not to give the DD a try before I realized my size was even an option, but I knew it would be too small. I seem to be stuck in between the 2 sizes. The DD fits me perfectly everywhere, the wire width is to the tee, the straps are perfectly ... placed and the band is always just snug enough and tighter than the DDD (oddly enough). But the DD lacks the depth and projection I need that I can get in the DDD, where the cups are too wide and the band a bit looser.

I had first tried the "Wear Everywhere" line in the "Lightly Lined" 34DD...almost perfect, except for the very loose band. I had intentions of altering the band but never got around to it and have since sold it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Kind of regretting that now, it would've made for the perfect everyday bra! So I figured I would get a much nicer, snugger, fit in my usual 32DDD...not so much. I'm perplexed. This bra is just a very awkward fit on me. It reminds me of how my Parisa Fe push-ups fit...almost like the bulk of the bra was on the outer sides of my boobs, if that makes any sense. Too wide and too shallow. For a DDD, the depth of the cups that I measured on this is equivalent to most of my VS DD push-ups!! I'm not sure what it is, I think the padding might be a bit too excessive in the wrong places? I don't really know. But I'm getting lots of quad boob, and the cups just seem ginormous when I have the bra on. It also reminds me of when I tried the Bombshell in a DD, just too much padding and my boobs sort of pushed the bra down and out to the sides, while the bra tried pushing my boobs up! Haha! But I DO like the placement of the straps, and how they are adjustable to be worn as a racerback. They are oddly long tho, but I was able to tighten them up to make them work. And the straps do seem a tiny teensy bit thinner, like a cm thinner than most of their other bras. I'm just curious if maybe I would do better in the "Lightly Lined" model instead or even trying the DD in the "Lightly Lined" (as the 34DD one I tried seemed to have a decent amount of padding as well). Ugh, I'm trying to decide if I should return it or exchange it or just say screw it, and hold onto it.

ALL of the awkward fit issues asides, it gave a pretty decent shape under a tank!!! I was actually rather shocked! My girls looked pretty darn good. Lol! It gave a nice full, rounded, lifted look. I added a couple pics to show how well this looked under my shirt, and I really couldn't even see the quad boob! So strange. But I def recommend trying this one on before buying. Or better yet, trying a FEW different sizes on, in both the push-up and the lightly lined models, to see which works best for you. I've tried out over 50+ bras from VS over the past several months, and if anyone knows their size and what works best with each model it's this gal right here. But this one really threw me for a loop!!! Lol!

I was super excited about this bra, because it's one of my very first sports bras, and that's because it's the first I've seen in person that has both a clasp and an underwire! Unfortunately, this particular bra hasn't worked out all that well for me.

I have probably way too many bras from Victoria's Secret, and this is definitely the most secure out of all of them. That's not really saying a whole lot, though; any activity that even resembles running or jumping still causes quite a bit of bounce. Although it's advertised as providing "maximum support", I definitely wouldn't use this for anything more strenuous than yoga. ... Wearing this during yoga was a revelation, though; it was the very first time I wasn't distracted one bit by my breasts and it was amazing enough to finally push me into considering buying better fitting bras online.

It's also really cute! Not the highest priority, I know, but definitely something that matters to me. Even in what is definitely a cup size too small, it's possibly one of the most flattering bras I've owned. As someone who automatically drifts to push-ups, this was completely mind-blowing. I think it has to do with the fact that the band is realllllly snug, and it just helped everything stay nice and lifted-up so much better than anything else I've owned.

The zip-up layer over the cups is really comfy and I think helps keep everything tucked in so well, considering it's definitely too small in the cup (I spill out of the cup a little at the top, but it's kept in check by the zipped layer). It also looks really nice, less like a bra and more like a really snug crop top. (My boyfriend was also way more into it than any of the lacy things I've ever worn for him, but that might just be because he's weird; I wouldn't expect the same reaction from other boyfriends/girlfriends/cuddlechums.)

I actually really wanted to wear this as an everyday bra, since it definitely seemed to fit my two requirements: Cute and Comfy, but half a day of wearing this knocked it out of the Comfy category.

After wearing it for a while, I realized that I was feeling pretty sore in the area against the outer end of the underwire and just along the top edge of the side; when I checked on it a little later, I saw that my skin was red and chafed. I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but a couple hours later it hurt enough that I checked again and the chafing was worse enough that I was actually worried about being rubbed raw and took the bra off. At that point, I noticed the my shoulders were also a starting to be similarly red and felt slightly sore. When I looked at it after taking it off, I realized that with this bra there are loads of seams all up against your skin. While it might not be as uncomfortable for someone with less sensitive skin, I think at least some degree of discomfort is probably inevitable.

Summed up: it's cute, and I really wish I could recommend it, but there are definitely WAY better options out there. If you fit into VS's sizes and want something cute to keep your breasts snug, but not necessarily stationary, it'll work. Just make sure to keep your receipt and watch out for chafing.

This bra is just a tad too small. I get ever so slight quadding and ever so slight breast tissue peeking outside the wires. The band is way too big though. Why can't Victoria's Secret make 30A-30D like Aerie does?

Another gorgeous bra from VS. Loved the playful polka dots on this one plus the high contrast of the black and white. The fine lace along the top edge of the cup and the bow in the center are both pale pink.

I can't get over how comfortable this bra is. It's like wearing silk pillows, it's so soft. The fit is downright perfect and I'm amazed at how much lift this bra gives me even though it's not a push up. It gives me a great shape under my shirts. Totally thrilled with this bra, the look the fit the comfort, it's got it all. Winner!
