Le Mystere Renaissance Carina Seamless Contour Bra 9155 Reviews

Oprah usually doesn't steer me wrong, but I cannot wear the Le Mystere bras! I ordered both the Renaissance Carina and Tisha bras, and they are very uncomfortable, no matter what band size I buy. I've tried my correct size, 34, and went up a size to a 36. The bottom band cuts into my rib cage, so although I LOVE the support and style of these bras, the pain is just not worth it.

The best bra I have ever worn. Shape is very nice under sweaters and tight t shirts. lisa from Maui

The bra is a good fit, however the straps keep coming unfastened, it is a bit annoying. Kim from Aurora/ CO/USA

Best bra I have ever worn. Comfortable, supportive and best of all I love the way it makes me look in clothes, all clothes. Tshirts, silk blouses and plunging necklines lisa from Hawaii

I like this bra enough, but I have to admit that the straps do constantly come undone, despite my tightening them to an uncomfortable level. It really means that I can't wear it that often, unless I will be with a friend/relative all the time to fix it for me when it comes undone. Other than that, I really like this bra. The straps do stay put when crossed, but it is almost impossible to get into that way without assistance. One note - I do prefer a 38F in the Tisha bra, as it doesn't have much stretch, but I wear my normal size in this particular Le Mystere. Christina from Norman, OK

This bra is absolutely wonderful. This bra fits perfectly in every way for me and I am so pleased to finally shop for a bra with ease. I would buy this bra again without a doubt. Thank you HerRoom! Carmen from Sylvan Lake, Alberta Canada

I have been wearing this style of bra for about a year and it is my favorite. I just need to order one in every color. Theresa from Hendersonville NC Henderson

I tried this style in lieu of the 9955 and it simply does not fit comfortably. Cheryl from Scottsdale, AZ

I have two problems with this bra. First, the straps slide off my shoulders. Every woman with a large bust does not have broad shoulders and the way the bra is designed, and the way most bras are designed unfortunately, the straps slide off constantly. The only other issue I have is that the straps have two settings in the back. When I hook the bra in the front and then twist it around so that the hooks are in the back, the straps come out of their holders on the back band. I have to put the bra on and hook it in the back which has always been very difficult for me. If the metal "hook" on the bottom of the strap were oriented in the opposite direction, the straps would not slide off when the bra band was rotated around my body from front to back. I have ordered multiple bras of this style, however, because it's the best I've found. Ann from Rochester, NY

Seems to run pretty true to size, since I generally wear a 34G (which fits me perfectly in other Le Mystere styles) but found that the 9155/Carina just wasn't supportive enough. My favorites are the L Mystere 965 and 9955, which I would recommend for those who, like me, have to hoist up larger, heavier breasts. Katie from Charlottesville, VA

I like the support of the bra, but I do not like how it separates so much it feels like they are in your arm pit. Samantha from Jenison, MI USA

Don't waste your $$ on this bra. The straps are impossible to cross in the back and then adjust and get the bra on! Liz from San Clemente

Too much bra. Cups dig into my skin below my underarm as well as rib cage. I previously wore the 38D 955 which I really liked but needing a larger cup size, I tried this style but it just isn't the bra for me. Additionally, it is frustrating when trying to put on as the straps come undone easily. Laura from Ridge, NY, USA

This bra provides a very flattering look under any type of top. Unfortunately the hooks on the convertible straps pop out while "trying" to put it on...sometimes taking MANY tries before succeeding. Relatively comfortable but I didn't like the fabric on the band which felt very scratchy. WAY too much money for frustrating straps and an itchy band. Too bad because it did give me a really great shape. LD from Alaska

I like this bra, but wish it had 4 hooks in back to give more coverage. Being a larger size this added control and support would be nice. Kathy from Enid/Ok/USA

After trying numerous bras and adjusting the band cup size to achieve a perfect fit I found that this bra did the job. It looks great under clothing and gives me the support and comfort I need during the day while moving and bending creating my art. I highly recommend it. Dee from Seattle, WA USA

I like the bra and the fit is great but I am very frustrated that the straps become unhooked in the back when I am trying to put it on. Nancy from Waverly IA USA

Best Bra I have ever owned. I will be buying others in different styles. My breasts have never looked or felt better. Jyl from Jupiter, Fl

I think this bra looks attractive & I like the strap design, but honestly, I find the shape of the cups very strange. They fit my breasts but they seem to point them down and sideways! Ashley from USA

Noticed the pretty soft brown Pecan color and was impressed by the quality. Sales lady raved about it and trying it on sold me about the fit. Have other foam cup bras but they don't seem to fit or are not comfortable. This is the most comfortable and the cups are further apart than most bras. The ability to adjust the straps in either of the two loops on the band or crisscross them is great. After wearing this bra a few times, I'm very happy with it. While this bra is popular with larger busted women, as a b/c cup I would recommend it for the smaller busted too. The wider band gives a smother look and stays comfortable during long days. The straps have lace detail giving the bra a very feminine look. One did come loose when I first tried it on, but once we reattached and adjusted them they have not been a problem. The Carina is a great bra and the first Le Mystere bra that I have purchased. It is well worth the price and looks very natural under silk and knit tops as well as shirts. Bobbie from Houston

Love it, however I have tried many bras and the bra that is most comfortable (most important factor), the most flattering and offers the best support is the Le Mystere 955 Tisha t-shirt bra. It is my favorite of all time. kim from ukiah, california, usa

Very nice lift and fit. Boobs look great. Prefer the Le Mystere with more of a firm shoulder band for myself. Still, a great T-shirt Bra. Among the best bras I've ever tried. I bought 3 different styles per "internet", this is 3rd favorite of 3 Le Mystere bras, but still much better than all my other bras..my size is hard to find in the stores. I am keeping it and wearing 1-2 times per week. Karen from ripon, CA / san joaquin

This bra was listed as one of Oprah's Favorite Things but for me that was NOT true. The "molded" cups did not fit properly and made me look deformed! Jennifer from Los Angeles

I bought this bra at Marshall's and unfortunately they only had one. I am ordering more because it fits PERFECTLY and is nice and smooth under T's and it has thick straps and a thick band which make it incredibly comfortable without being too ugly. Love it. Melissa from Pittsburgh, PA

F cup? Hardly! This bra could probably fit my daughter, who wears a C cup. Have bought this size on other Le Mystere designs before and they fit just fine. And the shoulder strap kept coming unhooked in the back when I tried to put it on. I know it wasn't just one defective bra, because I had received two and they both did the same thing. The shoulder strap just wouldn't stay hooked in the back. Sending them both back for a refund. Lizzie from Grapevine Texas USA

Great product - Great customer service. Thanks! Deb from NJ

After reading about all the greatness of this bra, I am not that satisfied with the fit. It still binds me under my arms and I still feel like I am moving myself around a lot in it. For the money I spent, I am not happy. Dawn from Des Plaines, Illinois

this is probably my favorite bra. The straps stay up great and it's pretty. I find the fit very flattering. Linda from Michigan

Pretty bra but the cup runs SUPER small. I'm between a DD and an E/F and the F cup felt a whole size too small! Whoa! Also, at the first try-on, the strap unhooked at the back, which forced me to take it off, fix and put it back on. Also, the band felt very tight. I'm a 32, and this thing chewed me up around the ribcage. Shame. It's very pretty and the cup-shape is smooth, flattering, and unlike the Tisha, projects you up and in, with nice cleavage, not up and out, giving you wall-eyed boobs. Too bad. :( Lily from New York, NY

Don't get this bra unless you have a "helper" when you get dressed. The straps generally come undone and have to be re-hooked several times while I am putting it on....many mornings I give up and throw it back in the drawer. Unless you can reach the back of your shoulder blade with both hands...or have a spouse who can hook you back up when the straps fall out of the loops, you are in for a frustrating morning.
