I really like this bra, it is extremely comfortable and flattering. I definitely recommend it. The only issue I can see with it is that if you are very petite like me (under 5ft) and thin, then the straps are almost too long and/or wide set even on the tightest setting. Luckily I have broad shoulders for my height from playing sports, but it certainly wouldn't fit if I were a petite lady with a more delicate frame. Kyrie from Atlanta, GA

This bra offer a lot of lift, but you may have to go up a cup size or two if you want to fit into it right because, other then that, you might find yourself spilling out of it if you are heavy chested. Victoria from Chicago

Normally I wear between a 32DDD and a 30F (depends on the brand). I got this bra in a 30E, and it fit really well but cups were VERY small, should have went with at least a 30 F. Really sad because I really liked the look of this bra. Its really hard to find my size in stores (most that carry them are at least an hour away) and its hard buying online because you just never know how something is going to fit. The other bra I ordered fit fantastic though! Steffany from Houston, tx

The prettiest & most comfortable bra that I've had. Sometimes I wear it because it feels good. Diana from Chicago, Il-6-661

The size is very off. I wear a 34f and after reading the reviews bought one size bigger. It was at least 2 sizes too small. A friend bought at the same time (she's a 28e and bought a 30e) had the same problem. No lift either in fact it flattened them out and spilled over the top. Feels like the skimped on the material in the cup size. The picture is not at all like the design. Very pretty though.

Alegro Response:This style is a balconette bra, which is not a full coverage bra. It is open at the top and does not lift. You mentioned that you bought one size bigger, but didn't mention whether that was one cup size larger or band size larger. If you are an F, you would probably need a FF, which Alegro doesn't make in this style. We do carry other styles in FF that I'm sure you would like. Kimberley from Radisson

I received this bra surprisingly fast, It was very pretty and comfortable but I had to exchange it for a 30F. I usually wear a DD but the cups run small and made a noticeable line across my chest that could be seen through shirts. If you order this product be sure to order a cup size up.

Really pretty bra but way too small cup for me even as a balconette bra. Yvonne from Kingwood

Very beautiful. Very, very beautiful. Your breasts will look gorgeous, both with clothes and without. Lisa from Ocala, FL

This bra is VERY comfortable! I love the wide back band and shoulder straps. The only thing I have to comment on is that the cup seems a sized bigger than what it is and the band is sized smaller. I used to wear 34D but decided that a 32DD would be a better fit due to spillage and weight loss. I order the 32DD in this bra and it fits comfortably on the third hook and the girls barely fit inside. I plan to keep the bra and I am going to order another, but I think I'll try the 30F next time. Other than the sizing issues, I LOVE this bra. Laura from Sevierville, TN

I usually wear a 34D, but other reviews here suggested that the 34DD would be a better fit -- and this was true for me. The contouring effects at the sides is excellent, and the ribbons are a nice detail and not itchy. I just wish it came in white/beige/nude! avril from PA

Love the feminine, simple and sexy look for a larger size, but too big. I would rather try several on in a store, rather than keep sending back. Jennifer from Tulsa/OK/USA

This is a fun bra! It fits well and is comfortable. I like the padded/slightly wider (and good-looking) shoulder straps. The band fits a bit looser than the same size bands in Affinitas or Panache brands. I would get a 28 if I could. (I see from the comments that it looks like some people like that, though!)

This bra is SUPER comfy and gives a really nice shape. Sort of a "shelf" bra and makes your cleavage look so good without looking too pushed together. Charlee from Nashville, TN USA

This is a very comfortable bra. I am very pleased with this product. It has been a long time since I have found a bra that was as comfortable as this one is and that you barley notice your wearing one. I'm happy that I decided to order this garment. Thanks! Heather from Cincinnati, OH USA

I love this bra! It fit my difficult-to-fit figure perfectly and It is so pretty. I'm thrilled that Maidenform gets that those of us who aren't so amply endowed also like lovely lingerie - the lace is delicate but durable, and soft, not scratchy. This is my new favorite bra and I'll buy many more. Sally from Syracuse

I first ordered this bra in my normal size, 34D,which felt great, looked great, but was too small - the girls kept falling out. So I had to get it one size up, which fits fine, no spillage. Susan from Bethesda, MD

The bra was very pretty. I loved the color. I had to return it because the cup was too small. Also, there was not enough support for me even to wear for a short amount of time. Dena from Collinsville, IL, USA

I love this bra! I would defiantly buy it again. I love that I can get great support and still feel sexy. I measure a 28F, however I went with a 30E. I'm glad I did because the band runs small. I suggest you go up a band size and down a cup size like I did to get a more comfortable fit. naomi from League City, TX

Love this bra! I'd almost given up on finding something sexy in my size, but this more than fits the bill! Incredible cleavage and shape. And since the bra is cut so low that half my areolas peek out normally, I can adjust my breasts to leave my nipples exposed on the right occasion! The PERFECT "third date" bra!

Sexy and comfy! I ordered this among some other bras, to find a good show-off bra. I must say, this one not only does a great job of accentuating them, but is incredibly comfortable. The band has a nice breathable stretch to it, and I have great support. I think I may have found a new favorite brand! Liza

This bra is super pretty, but at the top (on the sides by my underarm) it puckered out. Also it didn't cover my nipples totally & I have small nipples.

HerRoom Response: All your symptoms suggest you need to go up a cup size.

Alegro Response: This bra is a balconette, which is meant to run very low in the front. Alegro runs a little on the small side so you should go up a cup size on this bra. Lynn from Tx

I Love it! I've always had the problem with bras either not lifting like I want or I fall out of them when I move. This looks good under clothes and it lifts the way I want. Very comfortable too. Patty from Illinois
