SIZE UP IN THIS BRA! this was teeny tiny on me even compared to my other 32dd bras that didn't fit. that being said it's a HOT bra. you spill out all over the place, but it looks good. it's very sheer, but i love the push up without padding thing and wish more brands made them. my boyfriend loved it, but i had to keep it to bedroom since it didn't fit.
I desperately, desperately want this bra to come in my size. It is adorable and amazingly comfortable with a fantastic padded underwire. Unfortunately, it does not come in my size. Band seems to run slightly large, although hard to tell since even the size it's supposed to be would be big in the band.
Stretched Band: 30" Band Length: 25.5" Cup Width: 6" Cup Depth: 8.5" Wire Length: 9.5" Cup Seperation: 0.75" Center Gore Height: 0.375" Wing Height: 3.75" Strap width: 0.5" for the clear straps, 0.375" for the white straps Hooks per Column: 3
I purchased this on a whim almost 2 years ago because it was a strapless, on sale and 32DD. It's obviously too big for me. However, the band only stretches to 30". Any more than this and it will distort the cups and pull them flat. IMO the cups run small so this could fit you if you're more a 30DD or small 30E (DDD).
There are gel inserts for this that are about 0.25" thick. ...Silicone grip lines the band on the inside. The elastic attached to the inside of the band is thick and feels quite sturdy. The down side would be the feel of the cups. Even without the inserts, the cups are quite rigid. They also turn in, so this would be a better option for someone who is not quite full on top.
Both the clear and white straps have metal hardware with a gold/brass colored finish, with the exception of the adjusters on the clear straps being a clear plastic. The white straps are twinned.
I can't comment on durability as I've never worn this for more than 2 minutes at a time. But the quailty seems to be great! Read more 118 more words
I LOVE the vibrant ot pink color, and I'm not even a "pink" person, but the vibrancy is just so much fun. It does show through thin light-colored fabrics, but thats not suprising. Its fine with any normal fabric.
The double straps are a nice feature. I love how sooth and silky the bra is. Its also really stretchy. The bra is not padded, but the moulded cups provide me with enough thickness. Its lightweight and I love it. Sadly, Its just to large in band and small in cups for me. I'd get in in a 30F or 28 FF or something if they made it that way.

Unfortunatly, on me, its a tad loose so the stretchyness does not help. The bra is not padded, but the moulded cups provide me with enough thickness to not show nipple through the fabric.

I've been wearing Victoria Secret bras forever and this is the closest I've come to owning one that fits correctly. The first time I was measured by a VS employee, I was told that I was a 36A, which made me laugh since I'd just had implant surgery and my plastic surgeon assured me that I was at least a C cup. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> However, to humor the the salesgirl, I tried on the 36A. No surprise, it didn't fit. I opted for a 34C and wore that size for years as it was difficult to find a ...32D off the shelf. I found this 32DD in a sale bin one day and tried it on and was amazed at how much better it fit. Although this bra is extremely comfortable, the band/cup ratio is still definitely incorrect for me. The gore sits away from my breast bone and when pushed flat, I get slight quadra boob effect in the cup. The girls also look better if they are lifted a little higher than they are in this bra. So glad I found this web site and figured out how to correctly measure myself! Read more 101 more words
This bra is way too big in the band for me so it slips down in the front leaving pink wire marks an inch below my breasts (big bands don't pull up in the back for some reason, maybe because I keep the straps loose). It also gaps in the sternum area when I hunch over riding my bike, but for the most part it's been really comfortable. I'm a 28F and I have this in a tan colored 32DD. There are also 3 tiny metal dots on the straps that fall off after a few washes and the cups make me gap on top but over flow in the center of the bra. I have bottom heavy/wide set breasts.
Great fit - wish they made it a cup size higher so I could have an even better fit with no quadboobing. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Simple but pretty, and I'm impressed with how little it seems to stretch out. Only good things to say about this (with the exception of the dumb size range.)
I like this bra, it's comfy and soft and the cups fit me as perfectly as anything, no poking or spilling or gapping once the straps are adjusted short enough. The band could be tighter on me, as I usually wear a 30 band, but alas, Victoria's Secret does not carry my actual size. This works though, it doesn't ride up, but it's not as firm as I would prefer. I can't speak to its longevity as it's pretty new, but I think I had an old version of this bra from at least 3 years ago that I only just got rid of.
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.
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.
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 have not altered these yet, so the bands are fairly loose on me. I tend to tighten the straps a lot just so I can get some lift in the cup, but it causes a lot of pain in my neck so I try not to wear these as often. The one good thing about these bras is that they give a great shape in the cup. They are not padded, but have a thin molded (lightly lined) cup. Show through is very obvious in the beige one since it doesn't have that lace overlay (that gives you an idea how thin these are). I wish they ...didn't have a lace band because I notice it's a bit stretchier than just regular Lycra fabric, but they are pretty. I have worn the beige one more than the other two and I already notice the band is about 1" larger, so the lace fabric in the band is not holding up as good as other bras from VS.
The two lace styles are style #219-061, and the beige style is #216-025, purchased 08/2010. Read more 74 more words
comfy, I think most of my bulging is just extra skin because I'm 7 months postpartum and my skin is still in the process of tightening back up. It's getting there though.
