Love this bra! I recently bought this style and one from elomi. They are the same size, 40FF, but this fit snugger. The boning does wonders for supporting my very heavy breasts, and also smooths out my not-so-smooth belly, sides, and back. This bra gives me back my hourglass shape-- I feel sexier than I have in years! I also don't have the shoulder pain and bad posture I normally have in regular bras since this style does not rely on the straps for support. It makes me walk taller and have more confident in clothing. The only bad things I can say are the boning bowed from sitting and the back hurt at the top a bit. This is true for both styles I ordered. Even given the two negatives, I would recommend this bra to everyone.

HerRoom Response: You mention that you are petite in stature. A longline bra is always going to have a fit issue since they standardize of 5'4" to 5'8"./

Goddess Response: We love this bustier too! Yes, 689 does run a bit snugger than the Elomi 8201, and she can always go up a band size and down a cup size in this one to make it more comfy the next time. Audrey from Pittsburgh

I'm a 38DD & I have never been able to find a strapless undergarment that actually holds up my 25lbs of breast & this product did. I am very excited to go out & buy my first strapless summer dress & blouse. Thank You for this wonderful product. nicole from el paso texas united states

I purchased this bra for my New Year's Eve Wedding because it came so highly rated and customer service was so eager to assist me to purchasing the correct size. I usually wear a 36DDD so I purchased a 36F. The bra is beautiful and it fit very well through the bodice, although the lace is a little itchy for me. The cups were a little large and because of that didn't work well with the gown I'm going to wear. My finance loved it so I decided to keep it for the honeymoon. Anna Marie from Columbia, MD. USA

I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and needed a strapless bra. As a "G" cup it is very difficult to find comfortable bras, much less a strapless bra. I was in this bra for over 10 hours and it was very very comfortable. The fit was fabulous and it did not slip/slide down. Love it. Lo from Navarre, FL

I am glad that I listened to the other reviewers who suggested going up a band size and down a cup size. It fit perfectly when I did this. I ordered the black which looks very sexy. This bra did a great job with support and was only a bit uncomfortable when sitting. theresa from portage,in usa

I love this bra. I have big boobs and this is the first strapless that fits perfectly. I think I will buy another one! Tricia from Trinidad

All I can say is WOW!!!! I am a plus size woman with breasts that hang (nothing perky about them). When I wear strapped underwire bras, my boobs slip underneath so my issue with strapless bras is they spill over the tops of them. This GODDESS BRA IS AMAZING!!! The girls stay up NICELY, and no spillage!! It also smooths out the "love handles". Im getting 2 more, one in white and another in black (as a reserve). Jacqueline from Washington, DC

I bought this bustier for my daughter. She had gone to all the malls looking for something to fit but ended up frustrated. I cannot tell you the joy she felt when her bustier fit. I would definitely use HerRoom again. Our order came really fast, very professional. Thank you! KEP from Seattle, WA USA

Stop! Do not waste your money on this bra! Once I opened the package, at first glance I could see the lack of quality in the material. Furthermore, the cup sizes looked TINY. I looked at the tag twice to make sure it wasn't a mistake. The cups looked like AAs. I knew instantly that it would not fit. I am an average sized, curvy woman that wears a size 12 in clothing and a 34F in bras. This bra does not fit around my slim waist and the cups cannot cover even half my breasts. I was skeptical about buying bras online but decided to give it a try. This bra confirms my skepticisms. I will NEVER purchase a bra again without trying it on in a store first. I am very disappointed in this bra. A note to Her Room: Before manufacturing bras for voluptuous women make sure you use a real curvy woman with actual size 34F's as a model. I can't wait to get my money back.

HerRoom Response: Thank you for your feedback, but we at HerRoom strongly disagree with you. Goddess makes absolutely fabulous high-quality products, and we are proud to sell them on our site. We have no idea what has happened here, but please feel free to return your purchase for a full refund.

Goddess Response: Very often ladies have to go up one and sometimes two band sizes in this bustier… The largest cup size in this style is a FF (“Classic” Goddess sizing). This customer might also want to try Elomi 8202, a bustier providing larger cup sizes (to an H-cup) and also a more forgiving band.--Freddy Princess from Alexandria

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it. I bought this bra to wear with a strapless denim dress that I've had for about 5 years, and never worn. Unwilling to part with it because even 5 years later the dress is still the bomb! Friend of mines gave herself a 35th birthday party, in which the theme was, "Denim & Diamonds!" Times are hard, and we are in a recession, I immediately thought of this dress. I was so determined to wear it, that I had order 3 other strapless bras from various places when it hit me, I needed a long line bra, that was the only way I was gonna get the support I needed. So I did a Google search and came across this bra which say it was rated #1 in 2009. It had numerous reviews. The majority of them were great reviews. I had to have one. Long story short, sort of weary about what size to buy, cause time was of the essence. I, like a many others ordered 1 band size up, and 1 cup size down. It was perfect. I was able to dance, move around, bend down all with the perfect lift and support! I've recently purchased another strapless dress. I'm about to go strapless crazy! STRAPLESS EVERYTHING HERE I COME!

This bra is so comfortable! I bought it to wear under my bridesmaids dress. I am normally a 42 to 44 D and I got a 46C. The cups were still a little big so I returned it for a 46B, although I probably could have been ok with the C. I was hesitant to get this bra because of the lace. I thought the lace would show through our satin bridesmaid dresses and be itchy but it doesn't show through and the lace isn't itchy because there is another layer of bra fabric under the lace on your skin. This bra moves with you but gives you a great shape. It gave me a better hourglass figure than other longline bras did; they just pulled everything in. L from PA

I was very hesitant about purchasing this bra, only because I have not found one in any store that would work for me. After it came in and I put it on with the dress I will be wearing I was amazed. This bra is great!! I would recommend this to anyone that needs their breast to be lifted. Another good thing about the bra is I will not be pulling it up all evening!! That's a major plus.

I am getting married next year and I have been stressing about gown shopping because of my large bust. I ordered this bra and I am thrilled and now very excited about shopping. It is very supportive, pretty and comfortable and will allow me so many more options for dresses. Thank you so much Her Room for making me excited for my wedding. Krissy from Schuylerville,NY USA

OMG.... Being as top heavy as I am, I never ever thought i'd be able to pull off anything strapless. I ordered this bra and was very skeptical about wearing it, but it was very supportive and the girls sat up like missels!!! LOL I will definitely be shopping here again... I want one in every color. The only thing which was to be expected it slid down with my outfit everytime I sat so I had to pull it up pretty regularly. I love it otherwise... Keiana from Louisiana

I bought another brand bra earlier & it didn't fit. HerRoom graciously took it back. I found this bra & after reading the reviews of other purchasers, I took a chance on it. It's great! It runs true to size & the first long line I've ever owned that didn't ride down, just cover half my bust or hit two inches below my bust line. sallybeth2 from Pleasant Grove, Alabama

The bra is wonderful! It was hard to find a strapless bra in my size that was supportive and of good quality. The bra fits great and gave me the support that I needed!! Tonya from Oakland, CA

Being a women of size finding something that supports you well is difficult but this strapless bra was a wonderful surprise! I would highly recommend it to anyone needing something you can feel confident in. Lydia from Houston, Texas

The band size seems to run small. I normally wear a 32 but ordered a 34 to make sure that it would fit over my hips. It was still really tight. Also the material is very scratchy and where the bra sat on me it created a sort of reverse muffin top. For this to have worked for me I would have needed a 36 that came down further on the hips with a less scratchy material. I didn't care for the shape of the cup either, but I prefer molded cups in general.

Goddess Response: The band does run small on this style (see Tomima's tip). Remember that if you go up two bands, you need to go down two cups to maintain the same cup volume. Jessica from Pullman, WA

I ordered a 34 F and 34 DD in this bra. My bra size in a Wacaol minimizer is 34 DDD. I like the 34 F, although the bottoms are a little unfilled - and the wire in the middle makes a red mark on my skin, but my skin is pretty sensitive. The 34 DD was way too small, so I will return in. I like this bra because I can put it on myself, and it really holds them up, unlike most strapless bras. Angie from Charlotte, NC

The greatest strapless EVER!! I have tried soooo many strapless bras and never found one where I could do 47 jumping jacks and have it still stay in place! I will be getting them for all my bridesmaids! Laura from New York

I bought this to wear under my wedding dress. It fits perfectly and doesn't slide down. I danced around to make sure it would with stand the reception and had no problems with it keeping me supported and covered. Katie from Hopedale, MA, USA

I have two of these, one in black, the other ivory and I wear them all the time. I particularly love how I can wear spaghetti strap dresses with this bra. Sometimes when I sit, the bottom band tends to flip up, so I've eliminated that problem by wearing a pair of control shaper panties with it, and tucking the band into the panty. This works perfectly if you're shortwaisted like I am. I wear a 44DD and it's really excellent support up top. These really make my waist look small too! Marisa from San Marcos, Tx.

I am amazed at this bra and at the price. I've seen so many similar styles going for $80 and more, especially for larger sizes. I purchased this to wear under my wedding dress and it's perfect. Very comfortable, very supportive. Even though it doesn't say it in the descrlption, the back of this bra does slope down and sit lower than normal bra styles. My gown isn't a low back style, but everything I'd worn under it so far had tended to peak out of the top. This bra stays hidden. So while not technically a "low back" bra, I think it offers more flexibilities than other longline styles. As some other reviewers have noted, the cups do seem to run a tad larger. At the time that I ordered this bra, I was wearing a 36FF, but ended up with a 34DD after some exchanges. At least part of the issue was that I lost some weight between when I last purchased a bra, when I ordered this one, and when it arrived, but I'm still wearing larger than a DD cup in my everyday bras. Just be aware of the possible issue, order a cup size smaller (band fits just fine) and be prepared that you might have to exchange it. Even with the sizing issues, it's still well worth it.
