I bought this bra because I found it very pretty (cream with butterflies). At the time I thought I was a 30C and bought this in a 32B. In reality I'm more like a 26E, but I bought this before I really got into bra sizing. Victoria's Secret bras run true in the cup for me (not sure about the band, as they're all big). I can wear this bra comfortably because I don't have a very large chest and don't need as much support as some women.
I love the self-adjusting straps on this line of bras, but the fabric of the band is too stretchy for VS sizing to work for me. This bra is unbelievably comfortable to wear, and if they made it in my size, I'd buy several.
This isn't my usual size, just a "leftover" from previous attempts. It's comfortable enough, but, as I've found with most Victoria's Secret bras, very stretchy. The cups are formed, with seams on the inside but smooth outside, so it gives pretty round shape but doesn't show under thin shirts. The straps are padded, which is good comfort-wise, but looks bad if they show. It's not necessarily supposed to, but on me gives pretty significant cleavage.
I bought this bra a while ago before being fitted, so it's not my usual size and it doesn't fit entirely properly. However, I still wear it from time to time for a couple of reasons. 1. It's a beautiful satiny chocolate brown color and 2. It has much thinner straps than most of my other bras, so it's better under tanktops.
It's very stretchy, both in the band and the cup, so it accomodates a range of sizes, but doesn't really support very well. It also has a small amount of padding at the bottom of the cup, but doesn't add a lot of bulk. Even though this is supposed to be a full coverage, it isn't high cut and still shows a little cleavage (probably moreso since I'm getting squeezed out of the cups).
Band is on the big side because of the stretch. I wear it on the tightest. Cup is slightly wide for me but doesnt have left over fabric on the side. Cup cuts into my breast tissue as usual but a bit more than my other bras probably because of the gel pads. Even tho it give me quad boob effect i decided to keep it because its a fun bra and makes cleavage i want every now and then.
Update. I tried it on w/o the gel pads and it gives a littles less quad boob effect but still makes the cleavage i want. Decided to wear w/o the gel pads.
It's too small! I wore it for a while before I realized this. It doesn't really poke, but it makes me look like a sausage. The straps are elastic-ey on the outsides so they dig in and make me look rolley. My boobs spill out over the top. In the few months I bought it and regularly washed it on delicate, it got all ball-y! Definitely not worth the money. :/
I LOVE this bra, I wish they made size 30 bands! When I first bought it the band fit good, but after stretching, is too big. Cups are PERFECT fit for me tho, and very comfortable. I can wear it every day for long time periods, no digging, poking, etc. It's beautiful too. My only complaint is really about the entire VS brand, they don't have a large enough variety of sizes, they should expand to smaller bands and bigger cup choices.
This bra does not fit me, but it is my "pretty bra" its quite cute, but give me awful quad boob and my boobs just do not sit right in the cup. They fall out and the band rides up and the underwires do not lay flat. I am constantly re-adjusting in this one.
A larger sister size of mine, so it does not fit 100%. This runs a little smaller than most 32 sized bands. And I took in the center front so instead of it measuring 1" as I have it listed, it measures .75". The cups on this have some padding - not to be confused with the "Perfect One Padded" bra, or the Demi style. Also this one is no longer available on the VS website. The padding is in a weird spot though, it's at the top of the cup where the straps meet. This is more meant for someone with shallow breasts who can't fill out ...their size, because it's a bit tight in the cup for me. The bottom of the cup is a lightly lined material, not padded, but it is kind of on the stiff side, 3/16" thick. Then it gradually gets thicker at the center, 1/4" thick, and thicker at the top, 3/8" thick.
The straps are comfortable, they have some foam in them. So the support that you're not getting from the band gets put on the straps, but it's not that bad since they're cushioned. Read more 84 more words
I don't want to like this bra, but it really does fit like a dream under t-shirts. I look bigger than I like, however, and a 32 band would be great, but this is a great attention-getting bra.
I hate this bra, though I find it sad as it used to be my very favorite. I will never return to Victoria's Secret again! Ever! It is really not necessarily the bras that I dislike, but the poorly trained staff. If I'm buying a bra from you, I prefer and expect that I'm being professionally fitted (especially if that is your specialty). I've always had big boobs, but no one in my family did, and as such they couldn't teach me about bras. After high school (when my boobs were still perky) I went to VS for a fitting. The verdict: 36D....Wrong, wrong, wrong....And it took 4+ ...years for someone to point out to me that my bra was too big and didn't seem to fit! But it doesn't stop there...I requested to be fit at least a couple times a year, and at several locations in several states...Michigan, Arkansas and several stores in Mississippi. The staff at every store told me 36D. The bands never fit me, never provided support, the straps didn't fit, ect. And it is not a case of me losing weight and going down to a 34 inch waist band...in fact, I had gained at least 10 pounds between freshman year at college and finally being fitted at a reliable department store, in the company of my future mother-in-law. It may not be a fair statement, but I blame a lot of my early sag on not being fitted correctly and therefore not having a bra that fit. So, over the years I have spent 100's of bucks at Victoria's Secret just to acquire a nice case of early boob sag. I'm rating these bras "poor" across the board because quality of service was crap, the bras were comfortable until I got a bra that actually fit (the contrast was not apparent before) and the poorly fitting bras never really looked great. My bf pointed this out to me but I really thought that it was a problem with my boobs! Also on quality, I have two of these exact bras (different colors) and the cups on each bra fit completely differently. Read more 251 more words
This bra feels nice and soft against the skin - I like that about it. If my boobs stayed put, it might provide some nice cleavage. The straps don't fall down. I think it did stretch out pretty fast, though, which isn't cool, because the band is already way too large for me.
This bra fits me so horribly that it's hard to find good things to say about it. It's just totally the wrong size for me. The lace is a bit itchy, but not too bad.
I could not find the Body By Victoria Full Coverage in the drop down menu, and it would not let me create a new style even though it said it did (?), so I may or may not have selected the right style for this. But mine is the FULL COVERAGE #506721.
This bra has been altered in the band and the new measurements are as follows:
Stretched Band - 27" Band - 22" Cup Width - 6" Cup Depth - 9" Cup Seperation - 7/8" Wire Length - 8.75"
This is one of my most comfortable bras! The fabric is microfiber (tag lists content as 84% Nylon, 16% Lycra Spandex). Again, it's a t-shirt bra ...so it doesn't give great lift in the cup, nor does it give cleavage because it is a full coverage, but I like it way better than my Freya and Panache t-shirt styles! This bra is nearly 4 years old (from the 08/2007 collection) and it's still holding up great! Another good thing about this bra, which is something Victoria's Secret does not do too often and seem to be getting rid of, is that this is a full band style bra, making the support in it even better. I've noticed lately their full coverage styles only have a partial band. Too bad I didn't buy more of these at the time... Read more 112 more words
