I ordered a size smaller based on the comments I read from other customers. The size was fine, but I couldn't ever even try it on because the removable straps wouldn't stay on. One or the other would pop off before Ii could get the bra hooked. Jean from Boone, NC

Normally a size 40 H, in this bra a 40 F. Cup size must be ordered at least 2 sizes smaller, I had to return and reorder. Fits great now,works even better with the clear straps I have for evening wear,the closest I can wear to strapless!Wonderful Ordering one in black now!! Holly from Parker,AZ.

I've never put in the effort to review a bra before. However, I just went on a bit of an online bra shopping spree and out of 10 different bras, this Femi came out on top!! This bra was made for me, and I for it. If you are looking for support, durability, value, this has all of those. Boning, seamless, thicker polyester cups for strength and modesty (they won't wear out like some of the other paper thin plunges that are out there) Look at the pictures, this bra has 3 set points for the straps in the back, a great option that can help you match the straps underneath of keyhole tank tops and trendy dresses, and they are detachable too so you could also pair it with clear straps as well. Femi is made for the full bust. If you can never get the support you want without resorting to extremes, give this one a shot! Also, if you are busty and have a band size smaller than a 34 try this out! For sizing reference in Panache/Freya I'm pretty much always a 28G or 30FF. In Femi I ordered the 30F and 30FF and chose the 30F because it had more support and equal coverage (i.e. no side boob) I will be exchanging the bigger size for the correct one, and plan to make another order as well. Finally, a bra that's actually WORTH all the money I spend guessing on bras online -the curse of having a small rib cage with a pair of knockers. A

I was kind of sad about this one; from all the positive reviews I was expecting a bit ... more. It was really comfortable when I was just sitting around? It's not a bad bra by any means, very well-made and comfortable fabric and what not (though I'm personally not a fan of thick foamy cups), but just not might for my body type, I think. Furthermore, I went down the appropriate size and cup and kind of regretted it. Given how tight it was, maybe a looser band would have helped a bit. Lot's of ladies love this bra, and for good reason! Sara from Arizona

Perfect fit and very comfortable. Straps were long enough to convert to halter. FF in Femi is an H in most USA style bras so make sure you get the right cup size. Dana from Chicago, IL

I enjoyed the versatility of the straps, however, in the end I returned one of the two bras that I ordered. (I could not return one because I had already worn it). While I did get a bra that fit me, the cups did not hold me well. Every time I bent over, I fell out of the cups. It was not worth it to worry about stuffing myself back into my bra all day long.

I have had SO much trouble finding a bra that actually fits right. I'm on the lower end of my band size and the upper end of my cup size which has been really difficult to fit. I was a little worried this bra would cover too much and low cut tops would be difficult to wear, but even though it is more coverage than some bras I own it it's not too much. I do wish the straps were a teensy bit smaller just so they could be hidden a little easier, but they're so comfy it makes up for it. Another nice aspect of the bra is in the back it has 3 different spots you can hook the straps so you can move them closer to the middle of your back. Overall this is a wonderful bra that provides good support and is quite comfortable. Katlin

I LOVE this bra. It is very low cut and can be worn with many things. It also has 3 strap locations on the back to change the strap location and adjust the support. This bra is very supportive for a large cup size. The only drawback that this bra presented to me was that the cup and underwire encroach on the underarm area and sometimes can rub and irritate depending on the clothing worn over the bra. lk from Houston

Finally! A convertible bra that's made in larger sizes. The straps stay in place and the bra has multiple options for strap placement on the back of the band. The plunge is deep enough to wear lower necklines. Ali G. from Oregon

Very nice shape. Looks great under clothes. The convertible part is very nice. However, I can't give it more stars because it is UNCOMFORTABLE. The boning in the sides really poke into the skin. Angela from GA

It was too wide in front for how petite I am and the cups with wire and underarm material were too high. It literally pushed into the front of my armpits and made it difficult to reach across my body for anything. I was really disappointed because I love the cross over back - it relieves a lot of upper body exhaustion and I always have trouble with straps slipping off my shoulders, which the crossing back strap prevents. This bra is definitely NOT made for short bodied or petite ladies.

Femi Response: We are disappointed to hear that the bra did not work for you. The wires do run higher under the arm because there is no center on this bra and the support comes as a result of the wire being higher under the arm. Many of these bras have been sold to petite HerRoom customers in the larger cup and band sizes and the reviews have been very positive. It is unfortunate that it did not work for you. A'Lece from AZ

I needed a bra that I could wear deep cut shirts with so this looked perfect, and when I got it in the mail it fit PERFECT! I Love it, it's very comfortable to wear. Christina from Mechanicsville/Va/United States

Bra straps are extremely uncomfortable and too thick. I would spend the extra dollar on a more comfortable bra.

Femi Response: We have never had any complaints with respect to the straps being too thick or uncomfortable. In fact, we are using one of the world’s leading suppliers of straps in the foundation industry. When we selected this supplier it was specifically because we did not want bulky straps that they were selected. We also insisted on restricted stretch straps to make the bra even more comfortable.

I have always found impossible to find a bra that is comfortable and fits. This bra is probably the best I have ever put on!!! Racahel from Vernon, VT USA

Great uplift and push-up. Straps are wide and I like the adjustability. Cup thickness helps with modesty. B from South Carolina

This bra looked comfortable and I like the fact that the cup has no seams but the sizing was way off. Too big and because I was in a rush, I had to send it back.

Femi Response: Based on your size, using the Femi size chart and Tomimas Tips you should have purchased a 36F. Lynn from Lemon Grove, CA

I did not find this to run large; it seemed to fit true to size. If anyhting the F cup was slightly small; I'm a 36G in US sizes, but the size chart said F was the right cup size in this brand. I am giving it 4/5 stars because the hooks like to slip out while I'm getting the bra on. Once it's hooked closed I didn't have any issues wearing it all day, and I love the deep plunge and the nice cleavage shaping it gives! This will see a lot of wear. Jennifer from Seattle, WA

Ugh...this bra is very disappointing. I ordered a cup size smaller as was suggested, and the cup was way too small. I also ordered a 30E and the cups fit, but they looked horrible under shirts. There were these huge, obvious lines showing because of the thickness of the cup's edges. I thought this bra would be similar to another brand that I have (without all the padding) because it looks exactly like it. WRONG. Not to even close to their quality.

Femi Response: We're sorry that you were not happy with the Femi #1000. This bra is one of deepest plunge bras on the market for full figures and doesn't fit every figure the same. I assure the Femi bra line is made with the best fabrics, wires and componets that is available on the market Cynthia from Atlanta, GA

This was my first plunge bra and also my first bra from Femi but it won't be my last. I noted the tip to go a size smaller in the brand and went with the 40F and it is a perfect fit. It is extremely comfortable. I don't have any complaints at all. PS. I love this site I don't know what I would do without it. I am finally wearing the right size bra, which is hard to find in the retail stores. Cass from Columbus/GA/US

The bra is ok. Comes up really high under the arm making it uncomfortable and the girls fall out making me pucker out the top.

Femi Response: The Femi F1000 is a deep plunge bra and is not going to fit everyone the same. I would suggest you try the Femi t-shirt bra F1100. Merrill from NM

The bra fit fine around and in the cups, and the straps were even comfortable but the bra was unwearable due to the underwire that stabbed in to the front of my chest. So unfortunate.

Femi Response: Thank you for your feedback, a review like this is highly unusual. The only thing I would suggest is loosening the back hooks to see if it solves the problem. Amanda from Washington

This garment was purchased for my very petite 15 year old daughter. She loves it - except I had to tack the straps in place for her, they slid and adjusted to freely susan from bartlesville ok usa

Was not as impressed with this one as I have been with other purchases from this site. It gave my girls a cone shape and the underwires ride up and poke me in the armpit.

Feme Response: The Femi #F1000 deep plunge bra is not meant for every body type. You might want to try style #F1100 or #F1200. Amy from TX

I really like this bra. The other reviews are correct with regards to the sizing being larger than normal. I normally wear a 32H which is what I ordered, however, a 30H would have fit better. I had to secure it in the tightest position right when I received it. Next time I will order the 30H. Otherwise, great bra. Nice wide shoulder straps which I really like as they don't dig in like many others. Tatia from Temecula, CA USA

This is a great bra for a cross over, these bras are never really comfy and this one is probably as comfy as you can get for the style. No complaints at all, no pulling or tugging, just having fun wearing cleavage and racer back outfits again :) Audra from Texas

I really liked this bra at first and then after I wore it a couple of times-- the loops that connect the straps in the back began to tear off completely. I have implants and I know that they are heavy but that's no excuse for a bra to come apart. If you are looking for a supportive bra for large breasts, I would advise you to look for a different bra

FemiResponse: Femi makes their bras with some of the best quality components. We're sorry yours had a problem. Also, this style is a very deep plunge bra and is not meant to give you lots of support. Mari from Gainesville FL USA

This bra did not work for me. According to the size chart it recommended 36FF (I'm actually a 36H). The cups were too small and the straps would not stay put - they kept slipping out of the holder. This bra was not for me.

Femi Response: This bra is a deep plunge bra and does not work for every body type. I would suggest you try the F1100 T-shirt bra or the F1200 full coverage bra from Femi. TH from Reynoldsburg, Ohio

love love LOVE this bra! I was concerned about the fit as I have never ordered from this brand before. I always thought finding a bra with such a deep plunge for my size (32H) would be impossible. It fits perfectly. Super DEEP plunge for all your low cut needs, convertible straps, good support. The fact that it is a molding bra is also surprising because those usually aren't very flattering on a bigger bust. For reference, I am also a 32H in the Panache brand. Highly recommend!!
