I bought this bra as my last and only hope for a plunging neckline, backless, halter-top wedding gown. It is perfect! No straps show, the plunge accommodates the dress completely and the bra is very comfortable. For those comments who said that the cups don't really hold you in, that's true, but that's not what it's meant to do. The bra provides (for me), great lift and shape under the dress. I don't know if it would work for larger busts but for small to average sizes, it's definitely great. I'm also glad that I'll be able to rearrange the straps for other garments down the road. It's definitely a bra for a SPECIALTY dress/gown. I don't think it would work well for regular clothes, which is what the other reviews seem to indicate. But for a gown w/ a lot of skin showing, it worked great for me.

The plunge in the bra was what I needed however the sides of the cup show up under clothing so ultimately I had to return it.

It did not provide any support and was very uncomfortable. I am returning it immediately.

After reading Anna, Atlanta's review, I also exchanged for the largest size as I was falling out the front - keeping your nipples in is a bit of a challenge. I wish they weren't as padded towards the outter sides of the cups (pushup styles) as they "over-clevage" my clevage ... I'm not sure why you would want more volume when you have the largest size. I may still endeavor to remove some of the padding to regain some cup room for the breasts. Definitely a special frock number but such a very comfortable fit around the ribcage - it is well designed that it fits snug to your torso, so I bought it in nude & black before I return overseas.

This is a good bra to wear for a very low cut dress front and back, it gives a good push up, but only need a little more careful not to move so much, else it's has a possibility to expose the breast. It’s not a perfect size bra for me to wear due to my height and size, it’s little bit to long the cup and it not wide enough to hold and prevent my breast to expose. It’s not perfect but I can still use it occasional with little cautious, it’s still a lot better than other brand and style that I’ve purchased and the price is okay.

It worked perfect for a low cut dress I wore last weekend for a wedding - the only problem I have is it cuts really close to the nipples--which means you must be careful because they tend to pop out and be exposed. You need to wear this bra with tight fitting clothes for best results.

The bra strap runs a bit tight but it was better that way, cause over time the elastic worn out and get loose. The shape of the cup could of been more rounder shape. Great underneath a very low cut dress but not for any tight tops. Good comments from females, they all think I'm natural underneath my dress, my husband loves how it made me look.

I am not happy with this bra. The bra cups are non-existent, it's more like 2 thick pads that stick up from the band and mush the breasts up, rather than supporting them. It ends up giving a very unnatural shape under clothes. My advice would be to only use this bra if you have clothing that conceals shape & lines. It does not work with thin and/or clingy fabrics. It's a shame too, b/c the plunge is great, I just wish the cups were thin and unstructured.

The cups on this bra are way smaller compared to my other b cup bras. Breasts did not stay in the cups as a result. I am not ordering a different size, I'm just returning it and looking for a different style that isn't so stiff and is more true to size.
Like other experiences, the breasts filled out the lower part of the cup leaving the top empty, or worse falling out from the middle. I've never had a bra do that before.

I ordered my normal size (34B) but the cups were too big. Other reviews said it fits large and to go a size smaller than what you usually wear, but my normal size was the smallest option available. Instead of fitting like normal cups, which are flexible and curve a bit to follow the round shape of a breast, these cups just sat up completely straight and did not form around my boobs. So, my boobs only filled out the bottom and left the top empty, making it very noticable under clothing. Also, the bra made my cleavage look so huge that they looked obviously fake - either looked like I had a boob job or like I was wearing an extremely padded bra.

Well...after I ordered the correct size - it was great. It fit perfect - was much more comfortable than I thought it would be-and really fit with my dress.
