Carnival Full Figure Strapless Underwire Bra 123 Reviews

I also bought this bra to go with a Whirling Turban dress. I have looked at and tried on hundreds of strapless bras to try to get the vintage look, and, so far, this is the only bra that has come close to the shape I need. Actually, I would give it an "A" for the shape. Be mindful, however, that this bra really is for "full figured" girls. I am normally a 32D. The cup in the 34B fits me pretty well (the 34C, which would normally be the 32D sister size, was too big). Also, I have to wear the 34 band on the tightest hook, which is not ideal to start, but given how perfect the cup shape is, I am willing to work with that. If you are looking for a vintage-shaped bra without going to a full-out cone bra, I would definitely give this bra a shot. Robin from Washington DC

By it being my first time ordering, I was unsure as to how the sizes would fit, so I ordered one cup size bigger to assure proper fit, but however, it was too big, but the quality of the material is great, I didn't want to go through the process of returning it, so I decided to keep it and will use it as a backup.

It is comfortable and fits perfectly in fact I am going to order two more because this is exactly the bra I was hoping to get. Patsy from GA

This bra was recommended by my wedding dress maker (WhirlingTurban). It is a vintage style - seamed cups with a "natural breast" shape (slightly conical). Cups are lightly padded- just enough so that they retain their shape. Fits nicely with a fair amount of support. Does not stay in place as well as I'd like - but does any strapless bra? My dress is structured, so I'm hoping the dress itself will provide additional support. Due to the shape of the cup, and the lace, I do not recommend this bra for wear with contemporary styles. However, if you're going for that "vintage look": A+ JB from Greensboro, NC

This bra had absolutely no support for my large heavy breasts. I sent it back as soon as I tried it on.

Carnival Response: This is a very surprising comment since this bra is one of the top 5 selling Carnival bras on HerRoom and almost all of the 17 reviews to date (including other DDD customers) praise the fit and support of this particular bra. Christine from New York

this bra was not tight enough because the front did not lay flat. The cup was right on but the band has to be tight to make it work. I ordered a size down ( 42 ) and it worked. Good price and I have to say its the first strapless that has stayed up. I would recommend this bra or at least give it a try. Lucille from Palm Coast

Needed a strapless bra to wear with a bridesmaid dress, but had a hard time finding one for my breast size. I was really lucky to find this bra. It not only fit well, but it did a great job holding up my...assets. :-) Thank you! Lauren from Corona, CA

Not as good as I had hoped for especially as the price was so high.

Carnival Response: We are very sorry and surprised to hear that you are not satisfied with this style. The other reviews on this style have been almost unanimously positive. As far as pricing goes a comparable bra for our competitors usually runs in the $40.00 range. Unlike us most other brands even have a surcharge for D and DD cups. jenine from portland oregon

This bra fit very well. The band was a little snug. More importantly, the cup size ran true to size. It gave some lift and provided some cleavage . You cannot beat the price. arlene from ct.

I had to do a little adjusting to the cup, and it could hold a little more support. But in all it's a nice strapless bra. L. R. from Dallas,GA. United States

slides down...I wasn't happy with the fit. strapless bras are so hard to fit for DD size.

Carnival Response: Since this style comes with gripper elastics to prevent slipping I would suggest you try a 36DD or DDD. That should solve your problem. Diane from Clearwater

This bra was back ordered but it was worth the wait. It is almost impossible to find a strapless bra in DDD. Until now I have been wearing 36DD in Wacoal and Donna Karan. This bra is amazingly comfortable and it actually stays up! Great engineering feat! Gail from California

HORRIBLE! I was so disappointed in this company!! The sizes are WRONG!! Its so hard to find a store that sells the correct size. Im not an idiot, I measured myself the proper way and ordered. Not even close to fitting.

HerRoom Response: We're sorry you were disappointed. The other reviews on this bra from women wearing your same size as well as our alternate shot on a 36DD model confirm that some feel this bra fits true to size - but one went up a band size. We note that you are petite. Perhaps the sides were too tall for you. J from USA

Love this site. This bra however I had to return twice. I normally wear a 38 dd. This one is just right now & it's hard to find something sexy & strapless for large chested women. That's why I like all the front closure bras you carry as well. April from Franklin Park Il. U.S.A

I have NEVER found a strapless bra that that fit. I couldn't even wear one for more than 2 hours with out it falling down. I would then have to grab it with 2 hands and yank it up. This is the bra I will be wearing under my wedding dress! That is how much this has changed my life. Thanks Cat from Cumming, Ga
