This item was NOT 36 inches at all. In fact, when I measured it, it was 29 inches at the widest point. Needless to say I am returning this. Not even remotely close to my size.

Elila Response: The garments do not generally measure the size written on the item. Garments are sized as if they are stretching to meet a number. If you measure yourself with a tape measure you should be 29" around too, if you measure a 36, then you should try 40 or 42". Please see the sizing instructions. Julia from IL USA

I wish the item or that there was something similar in a front hook. It worked, but was rather difficult for my husband to hook for me in the back. Wasn't very pleased, I'm rather long waisted so I thought this would work, and it was about 2 inches too short.

Elila Response: We would agree that the garment is difficult to hook in the back and you need assistance. The garment needs to be tight in order to give full support to the body and the cups. Sarah from GR, Mi

The bra was comfortable and not too tight but the top of the bra was too high for the dress that I was trying to use it for. I would probably try this bra again with a different dress. Angie from WA

I ordered this bra in a beige and had to order it in black! It is so comfortable.... and gives great support for the full figured girl. I wore it as a bridesmaid in my best friends wedding and I wore it all day! It looks really nice under your clothes as well. Order the band 1 size up as recommended and all should be ok! Thanks Herroom... I will be ordering again!! Diane from Randallstown, Md

I absolutely LOVE my bra/corset. I'm very busty and it gave me the support I need for my strapless dress. I would definitely recommend this Strapless bra for busty women like me. It also stayed in place. Rios from Chicago, il

It seems like a great product. I normally wear DDD and the D cup that I ordered was still too big. I ended up ordering something else because the cups covered too high and poked out the top of my strapless bridesmaid dress. The torso part of the garment was very comfortable and I would order this product again, just not for this dress. Rosie from California

I ordered this bra, originally in a size 46E which was to big in the breast area. I had to contact customer service and the young lady was very pleasant and nice in helping me to determine my correct size. She had me order a 46 D. When I received the bra it was the perfect size. So perfect I ordered another in black. You can never have enough strapless bras for those special outfits you need to wear. Thanks Herroom for a perfect fitting bra and very well made also. Delivery was quite fast also, for I needed the bra for a wedding that I was in the coming weekend. Thanks once again! Diane from Randallstown, Md

Very good item, but does run small. I wear a 34 G normally, but this was one size too small. Sharon from Eau Claire, WI

I ordered it a little too small, but it gives great support. I am wearing a strapless prom dress and it give excellent support. Thanks! Simone from Bladensburg, Md

I am a very busty woman, and I have been searching everywhere for something like this that would actually fit me. The cup size was perfect, but the band size was a little too small, but I just bought a bra extender and it was a perfect size after. I wore it for 7 hours and it was very comfortable and I felt very secure in it. I would highly recommend this for big people like me!!! Celeste from Houma, Louisiana

This is not the size I wanted. I talked to a service representative who said she would cancel this order. I have paid UPS to have it returned to you. The correct size fit perfectly and was very successful. Thanks Sue from Joplin, MO

Provides support, but it looks downright matronly. Cup sizes sit too high. The end of the bra dug into my hips and caused me to balloon out below it. The boning was stiff, but this is to be expected with this type of bra. It could have been functional, but gets an F for sexiness. I returned mine. Rebecca from Austin, TX

The fit is great and I love that it comes with attachable straps. I plan on using this for my wedding and for a bridesmaid dress. Sara from Zeeland, MI, USA

Not comfortable at all, too small overall. I ordered a different longline bra in the same band size and my normal cup size and it fit perfectly.

elila Response: these garments are a firm fit so generally I suggest that going up one size in the band and down in the cup to get the proper fit. Marilyn

It did not fit and I will be sending it back. It was really high on the cups and it really wouldn't have worked with my wedding dress. Cheryl from NY

This runs very small. The F cup was no bigger that a standard D cup. Constance from New Jersey

Sizing inaccurate. This was more like a D than an F. Too small in the cup. elaina from acton

I did the measurements as specified on the website. According to those measurements I was a 44G. I knew I was bigger than I had been wearing but I also knew I couldn't be that big. I ordered the size they specified anyway with the suggestions. The band size was too small but I just put in a few of those extenders and it worked ok. The cup size though is monstrous! I would say it's at least 2-3 cup sizes too large. I have to wear it to a military ball in a few weeks and since the return/exchange process would take too long I am just have my seamstress take the cups in. The bra is VERY comfortable & supportive though, even though it's the wrong size. I am a big girl and was worried about wearing a strapless bra but this thing is really comfortable & I am not worried at all about wearing it for an evening. Sarah from Fort Riley, KS

Was a great bra -- the cups were too big but it seemed to be very comfortable for being such a confining bra. Judy from Kenosha, WI

After reading comments on fit below, I ordered band size up and a cup size down (I am normally a 34dd or 34F). The fit was great, although I could have used a slightly smaller waist and more flare at the bottom to prevent the lower edge of the bra from digging into the tops of my hips (I am very hourglass-shaped). There was also a tiny bit of digging in at the top sides of my back as the bra slid down a centimeter or two over the course of the day -- again, a smaller waist would probably have fixed this for me. Loved the structured feel of the garment and the lift and support it gave my breasts-- this bra creates a silhouette that's very perky and 40's/50's, which I love. The feel might take some getting used to for people who aren't accustomed to boned and structured garments. Overall a comfortable and versatile garment, and an excellent strapless option for women with big tits. The only MAJOR drawback, and the sole reason this review isn't a 4 or 5 star, is that after a couple of weeks of occasional wear with gentle hand washing, the wire underneath the left cup popped out of the top of the bra! I can push it back in, but it gradually slides out again and becomes visible above my neckline, as well as pretty uncomfortable. I'm really sad, as I love this bra otherwise. Is there a fix for this?

Elila Response:You might try stitching across the channel to stop the wire from popping out or you can take it to your dry cleaner and ask them to reinforce the stitching for you. Anna from Minneapolis

The bra was great as I am long wasted but it was not a 38 as I couldn't fasten it! I was disappointed. I don't know if it was me or the bra? Let me know.

I followed instructions on how to order a strapless bra due to different sizing. Bra arrived and was huge on me. I have returned it for a refund. The bra was pretty and seemed well constructed and would have been comfortable with right fit.

I agree that the long line is a bit long maybe made for someone with a long torso. Other than that the bra is fabulous and very supportive and comfortable. Chrysis

Long line bras tend to be uncomfortable with all the boning, but this one is very comfortable. Laura from Levittown, PA, USA

I have been professionally fit at many different stores from JCPenney to Macy's to Nordstrom and all have come up with the same size for me, 36G. Following instructions and recommendations, I therefore ordered 38F. WAY too big!! Band is appropriately tight, but cups are huge. I reordered at 38DD and 38D, all way too big - so big that I had to go check my bra drawer to make sure I didn't have amnesia! Nope, all my well-fitting bras are 36G!! What gives? I know I'll end up with a comfortable, well-fitting bra ... eventually, but just posting to inform patrons to order WELL IN ADVANCE because this may take some time.

Elila Response:It is very difficult to comment on how other stores fit, especially when they can only fit what they sell. We fit classically by the standards that were created many years ago. Today, many garments have measurements that are much smaller than what was originally created in the 60’s. For example if you went to a vintage shop and bought a 34D garment you would find that if you put it on a consumer who bought a 34D from any of the stores mentioned above they would probably say the garment was miss sized and should be a 34DDD/F. This is an on going problem in the market place. Carol from West Palm Beach Florida Usa

This fits more like a 3/4 length than a long line. I am of average height and it hit well above the stomach on me. I don't feel this is for women with what I call the front to back build. It is true about buying down a cup/ up a band. It did fit well with the band, but just not near long enough. Heather from Indiana
