What a pretty bra! I got this in the purple marble, and I love the contrasting coral straps and trim! I tried it on with one of my fav t-shirts that's a very pale pink color (and always hard to find just the right color bra to wear with so that it doesn't show thru) and it was perfect! Couldn't see it at all! There were virtually no seams or "show-through" of any kind! Just a teensy bit of the cup's edge. And it's super soft and comfy https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

The main thing I love about this bra is the ballet back on the ... band, felt pretty tight for a 32 (which I desperately need) and the u-shaped back makes it even better. Felt secure without the band riding up my back. And the straps are fully adjustable and can be cross-crossed in the back. The cups are soft and not stiff (like they somewhat are in their "Pink" Wear Everywhere line). There is a tiny bit of padding, more of a "bump" along the wire, for a little uplift but it's def not a padded push-up. The wires do seem too wide for me, as they usually are in the 32DDD but I know I'd be falling out of the DD. The wires came too far out under my armpits. And the gore wasn't tacking at all, it feels like the cups are a tad too far apart for my boobs https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I felt the urge to keep pushing the gore down. Guess I could try taking in the gore a bit but I don't wanna ruin the bra. But if I keep it where it needs to be without scooping and swooping too much, I actually get a nice, smooth line along the edge of the cup without any quad boob! Yay for no quad boob!

Overall, this bra gives a terrific shape under t-shirts, as do just about all VS bras for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It gives a very nice, smooth, seamless, rounded, lifted shape without all the padding and mega cleavage! Despite the fit not being the greatest, I can def still wear this bra and plan to https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> Perfect t-shirt bra if you're looking for a seamless look without feeling minimized or flattened, but don't need all the cleavage and extra padding!

UPDATE: So I wore this bra ALL day, still have it on now, slept in it last night, super comfy!! This bra is def gonna be one of my new favs https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It's perfect for when I want something with a little more coverage and I'm not spilling out of it, afraid my nipples are popping out! It has just the right amount of lining/padding, very thin but not too thin (kind of like VS Body but not as soft). The back of the band stayed where it was supposed to and I didn't have to keep tugging at it! Def a keeper https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

SECOND UPDATE (Lol): So I decided to hang onto this bra and I haven't really worn it much. It's been sitting in the VERY back of my bra "line-up" in my bra drawer. I was curious to see how it fit since I haven't worn it that recently. And the girls have changed a little (I do have implants and they've seemed to settle a bit more since I first bought this bra). I was amazed! I can not believe how well this bra fits!!! I'm SO GLAD I held onto it! It fits like a glove now! I was NOT expecting such a perfect fit! No more orange in a glass effect or quad boob! It's like second skin https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I added a few more pics that I just took which are more recent and the differences are pretty clear (to me anyway). Now I want to go get some more in all the different pretty colors!!! This is such a fantastic, pretty summer t-shirt bra!!!

This bra is comfortable to a certain extent. The straps are made of fabric and material for the first half of the strap with smooth elastic for the second half. I have to have the bra straps almost as short as they adjust to wear it. The first half of the straps have a material that lines the underside of the strap and towards the end of the day I feel like this rubs along my shoulders causing red marks. The cups are made of memory foam and provide good modest coverage. The band is really stretchy and I don’t feel it provides enough support. I have a few of these I got during the year end sale, so I’ve had to take the bands in to make them smaller. Overall this is a comfortable bra as long as I’m not wearing all day long.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

This sports bra is very comfortable, let me just start with that. The under wires are covered by thick foam so there is absolutely no digging in what so ever. I wore this for a Tough Mudder run and it preformed above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. The elastic is pretty thick along the bottom of the band and doesn’t ride up, with a bra hooks in the back to help with the fit. The straps are thick and help distribute the weight quite nicely. The cups are more on the padded side, but works great on cold day for modesty, or in my case protected me ... from the rocks in the trenches as I crawled across the ground. The only downfall of this sports bra is that it is a pain the rear to try to get off when you are wet/muddy/sweaty. Since I’m not a contortionist I had to have my boyfriend help me get it off over my shoulders because I was too sore at the end of the Mud Run to try and get this off while wet. When I wear this for regular workouts I can usually shimmy my way out of it but it does take some effort. I guess you can say it’s a workout just to get it off. Overall this is still a fantastic sports bra and it provided great support and I don’t feel I bounced a whole lot while I was running or preforming through obstacles. I also want to mention that it washed extremely well. It was loaded with mud, and after it was washed looked brand new again.

The three rows of hooks provides a nice snug hold around the torso and the material is really smooth and soft (with lace lining the outside of the band) and comfortable against the skin.The bands are quite stretchy and the underwire seems to be quite soft and malleable with the stretch of the band.

The cups somehow doesn't seem to work for me - I have FOB breasts and the cups kinda just fold and wrinkle below the breasts where the underwire is. Perhaps also because the cup width is also too wide for me (6 inches). The cups are lightly lined without extra padding or push-up padding, and the straps come off the bra really easily too for some reason.

Overall, it's a really pretty multiway bra and I wished it fit me better.

Band is pretty true to size but I feel it may be run just a slight bit too small in the cup but only a minor inconvenience. It has a bit of a stretch in the band to allow a little wiggle room but not as much as some other.

Plenty of side cup to prevent any side boobing from showing up. Plenty of strap to get that just-right adjustment. And a generous amount of padding for that extra bump for you.

This bra does have a bit of stretch with extra cup around the side to prevent any side boob showing up. The material is extremely soft and pleasing on the skin. It is very form fitting both around me and with my breasts. I started using Victorias Secret Bras for over a year now and I have never been disappointed by the quality, fit, and comfort I experience.

(Note: I got this bra used from Goodwill.)
This bra is... alright? Most of the issues I have with it are likely because of age and poor treatment (Rough feeling on underwire and lacy bits, lace frayed, etc.) But although this is in my size range, the cups gape open at the top when standing, sitting, and raising my arms. It might be an issue with my shape, (full on bottom,) or just with the age of the bra.
It's well-worn enough that the tag has almost completely faded, so it was hard to tell the model.

When I got it from Goodwill, one of the underwires was poking out of the front. I pushed it back in and sewed it closed.

Updated on Jun 11, 2023 Flag this

I kept this bra because the subtle cleavage, low plunge, and bright red color look so good when peeking out from the center of a button up shirt. Otherwise, the padding is too thick, my boobs migrate towards the center, and the shimmery lace back is too tacky for my taste. The fabric is very soft, almost slippery, and I appreciate that the straps are brought together in the back so slipping isn't a concern. A fun little number that's more of an outfit problem than an outfit solution.

Updated on Apr 25, 2023 Flag this

I like how the bra looks and the satin feel of the material is nice, but the band is huge on me and rides up in the back. Also, it gives me major quad boob. The fit is all wrong for me.

Updated on Feb 06, 2023 Flag this

This is the bra I always ending going back to. For me, as far as I've searched, is the most comfortable for me. Stretchy, smooth straps and soft, highly mouldable/flexible cups that still give a nice, round shape. The wires are the perfect width on me, and are the perfect height for me (no digging into my underarms). Although, in recent years I've learned my band could go down to a 30, alas VS don't make a 30F/30DDDD. It's pretty, it's comfortable, but it still doesn't touch my sternum. If i really push it in, I spill over in the middle. But, with my flared bottom ribs that have a real hard angle below the nipple line, it's hard to find any bra that will tack. I also have very close set breasts with wide and tall roots, it's a struggle all the time. It's not perfect, but it's the closest I've found that's still comfortable.
