Ultra-Lift La Balconette T-Shirt Bra Customer Reviews

Very disapointed in this Bra, returning it, from the reviews l expected great lift and support but didnt work for me. This is the first Bra l have returned, it also looked like it has been worn before, loose threads etc, usually Bras are top quality from HerRoom. l will however keep buying from here as the usual quality is great.

The cups are extremely stiff. Definitely use European sizing when ordering. I usually wear DD, but need an E in this bra. The straps are also stiff and uncomfortable. I am definitely returning this bra. Stacy, Illinois, Age: 20's June, 2011, Average Height (5'4"-5'8") Size: 32E

The cups for a 42b seem quite large - I'm a small B and simply swim in the thing. Nice bra otherwise. Obviously, this is not the bra for me but could be perfect for a lager 'b' cup type person. Rachel, Toluca lake, Age: 60's May, 2011, Tall (5'9" and over) Size: 42B

Like other customers I also found the cup material itchy. The construction and support were good. I will stop wearing this bra because of the straps, too flimsy and silky which causes the strap adjustor to slip so as the day or activity goes on the strap enlarges and slips off your shoulder.

Va Bien Response: If the straps are lengthening during the day it’s possible that the band is too loose, which can put undue stress on the straps. This style has thin silky straps as a fashion look – if you prefer a bra with rigid straps this style is not for you. Marge, Wisconsin, Age: 50's April, 2011, Average Height (5'4"-5'8") Size: 40F

Makes the most of what I have. TheUndies.com, April, 2011, Average Height (5'4"-5'8") Size: 38A

The bra does not give any support if you are big busted I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BRA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The sides roll up,when you try to put the bra on the straps come off the bra, its horrible. I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER BRA FROM HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Va Bien Response: You bought a size too large. That causes the sides to roll up, the straps to fall off the shoulder, and ineffective support to be provided. Jojo, Wampum Pa, Age: teen March, 2011, Average Height (5'4"-5'8") Size: 42E

I will be ordering more Karen, South Lyon, MI USA, Age: 50's March, 2011, Tall (5'9" and over) Size: 36F

I thought the cup design was great and offered support. My problem was the band, it was extremely itchy and uncomfortable. I also did not care for the straps, I thought they were too flimsy for larger busted women. Very disappointing. Dale, Orlando FL, Age: 40's January, 2011, Petite (5'3" and under) Size: 40E

I am a 52 year old 32E and this bra definitely lifts me up. On the other hand it hurts after a while. Kirsten, , Age: 50's December, 2010, Petite (5'3" and under) Size: 32E

For me, everything is wrong with this bra. I am a 38H now, but when I purchased the bra I was in a 40F. I had really high hopes for this bra based on the reviews and the pictures, but let me tell you, anyone who is wearing this bra must not realize how pointy their boobs look.

The images shown on this site do not reveal the nearly cone shaped cups. If the cups were a more natural, round shape, this bra might be worth a salt, actually. The construction is sturdy and the materials seem like they would be very comfortable and supportive. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this bra to anyone unless they like that 50's sweater puppies look or if their breasts are smushy enough to squeeze them into little cone shapes. Even so, I'd use my better judgment and steer them in another direction. Probably to an Elomi or Freya.

If Va Bien ever decides to make the cups more natural I'd surely try this one again based on the positive points I mentioned above but until then, I think this is one of the worst bras I've tried on and hung up in my closet to rot or be re-sold.

VaBien Response:It's a little tough to judge a bra when one is wearing the wrong size, but in fairness yes, the cups of this balconette bra are projected. This makes it perfect for women with soft bust lines, as you accurately noted. Valerie, CA, USA, Age: 20's November, 2010, Average Height (5'4"-5'8") Size: 40F

This was by far the weirdest bra I've ever tried on. Not really any support to brag about, and it made my breasts look almost pointy and strange. I sent it back.

Va Bien Response:Sounds like the cup size was too large for you, which exaggerated the projected shape of the cups. Consider going down a cup size. Melinda, Finger Lakes, NY, Age: 30's October, 2010, Average Height (5'4"-5'8") Size: 34C

Exactly what I was looking for. The fit was perfect. Shelia, Alabama, Age: 50's October, 2010, Petite (5'3" and under) Size: 40D (Implants)
