Fit and feel is great. I got this one along with several others for special occasions! Wayne from USA

I can wear either a 34C or a 36B and the cups of this 34B were still TOO big for me. I had read other reviews, which indicated the cups run large, so I ordered a size down, but they were still too big. The bodice fit very well but my boobs just swam in it. I think a 34A in this style would be more like it for me, but if I tried that in any other bra, I would not even get it on. I can't even wear a normal 34B - just too small in the cups. The back is very low, which I need for my dress. The lace is really pretty - I think it is the prettiest of all that I tried on but because of the cups I have to return it. It is also a bit short for me, but I am overly tall (6' 1/2"). Aside from that, it is very, very comfortable and lovely. I'd definitely recommend trying it, but keeping that generous cup size in mind. For my body shape (above bust 33", bust 36", below bust 30", waist 30" hips 38") everything worked for me but the cups. Because of my height, I ended up keeping the Carnival 386, even though this one was pretty respectable in height for someone as tall as I am. It would have worked but for the cups. Peg

This is my very favorite strapless bra and, truly, the only one that really works on me. I am a natural 32D and other strapless bras either slip down or flatten me out. This one works so well, and looks so great, I have turned several friends on to it, as well. This is my second time buying this bra and I bought it, this time, in two colors. I buy it one cup size smaller, based on other reviews and it works great! Jessica from San Diego, CA USA

I followed instructions that I read on the site and go a smaller cup size that my every day size and also did the leaning forward thing to put on the bra. When I stood up straight it was a nightmare! My boobs never looked so horrible; it looked like they couldn't fill the bra and were separated as if the bra was pointing them outwards towards each boob's respective arm. Also there was no padding. I travel a lot for wok so by the time I got to try it on it was too late to return/exchange. I don't know how anyone could give this bra a good rating.

Carnival Response: This bra is lightly lined with fiberfill. Nowhere does it say in any description that it is padded. As far as your experience with your breasts separating this is the first time I have ever heard anyone make this complaint about this or any other bra that we manufacture. The cups on this bra are demi cups which by nature force the breasts to your center and create cleavage. I’m sorry that you had a bad experience. Michelle from Miami/Florida/USA

Looks very pretty but the size is off. I normally wear a 32D but the universal chart said to order a 34B. It was way too big so I am returning it for a 32B. Hopefully it will fit, I really like the way it looks.

Carnival Response: If you usually wear a 32D then a 32C would probably be your best bet in this bra. Since 32C and 34B are cross sizes the sizing charts could replace one for the other. Shirley from Asheville NC

I am a 32DD but purchased the 32D based on the other comments and it was definitely the way to go. Probably could have gone down another cup size. This is perfect for my bridal gown as it is low enough in the back for my keyhole dress and is corset like but not too tight and I wanted to push the boobs up! Leah from San Francisco/CA/USA

If you have a long torso, this could work. (Note: I think I have an average torso length - not too long or short.) It was just too long for me and jabbed me in the lower abdomin when I sat down. Wouldn't have been comfortable.

Carnival Response: Bones jabbing you in the stomach when sitting down are a result of the garment being too big on you not too long. You probably would be better served in a 32B or 32C. Jenny from Boston, MA

I liked this item a lot even though I didn't end up keeping it because another style fit slightly better under my dress. The lace is very pretty and the advice about ordering a cup size down is useful. Kristin from Arlington, VA

It was just a hair small and so is uncomfortable to wear.

Carnival Response: It seems like you need a 38D in this style. Since they cover more of your body and are more restrictive long lines can be much more uncomfortable than a regular bra if you do not wear the right size. Lauren from Lakeland, FL

It is a perfect and comfortable fit. The sheer lace design is very sexy. Overall, I like it a lot. Christina from Los Angeles, CA, USA

I am wearing a Monique Lhuillier gown on my wedding day and this was the one the store suggested that I purchase. The bustier itself works well with my dress, but it does run big. I am normally a 34 C and had to order a 32B. The 32B is still a little big, so I had to have it taken in. Meghan from San Francisco/CA/USA
