Lilyette Sew-Free Tailored Minimizer Bra w/ Embroidery 921 Reviews

This is great bra for the price. I like it more than my Wacoal which was double the price and stretched out. It lifts, separates and the band stays put. The band is also very smooth and flattens out bulges. I bought it at Kohl's but am ordering more from HerRoom since it is so convenient. Meg from Delaware

I expected this bra to be great, but I am disappointed. It is not very comfortable at all. J--- from Phila/PA/USA

I liked this bra for about 6 months and then the sides started to dig in, I am VERY short-waisted and this does tend to happen on most bras unless the side seams are shorter than 3 inches or so. I did like the back as it does get rid of the dreaded back fat, but wouldn't recommend for petite or short-waisted women. Elizabeth from NYC

Comfortable and the lace trim does not show under knits. Please buy the next higher cup size as it runs small. I normally wear a 34D but had to buy a 34DD...I almost need the DDD! Other than that, a great bra that makes me look smaller naturally. The brown is the best fitting as the lining in the other colors creases in the upper cup. Pat from Santa Cruz

I re-ordered this bra in a larger band size and am hoping it works. The quality was very impressive! I did too follow the size chart, but it was not accurate as mentioned by another review. I loved how seamless it was and am anxiously awaiting the new one. Jennifer from APO, AP

This bra is very comfortable, but does minimize by pushing them to the sides. It also doesn't have a lot of support, and creaks when I move. Dawn from Virginia

What an expensive mistake!!!! I followed the site's very specific and very helpful sizing instructions measuring several times to make sure I ordered the right size. The bra fit wonderfully when I first put it on, and although I DID NOT LIKE THE WAY IT PUSHED EACH BREAST OUT UNDER MY UNDERARMS!!!! SOOOO ugly under my shirts, it was very, very soft and comfortable....for about a day. Then as it began to stretch out, the area in the back where the sides come together separated and the clasps began to dig into my back. And the bra just got bigger and bigger until I no longer have any support and it's very uncomfortable to wear. Unfortunately I have worn it and can no longer return it. Buyer beware!

HerRoom Response: We are sorry for your experience. The measuring system really only works up to a D cup size. After that, the system falls apart. We always suggest sizing according to your symptoms. It sounds like you are in the wrong size bra. It should not be stretching out so quickly. Heidi from MidAtlantic States

This is a very nice bra. Liked the way it fit but for "years" I have been forced to wear "white" bras and since finding this website I decided to pass because this site has other styles and colors that fit!! This would be a great T-shirt bra because of the light lining!! Tania from Syracuse, NY

I had purchased this bra in the dark brown color at Macy's and it fit so well, I ordered three more colors online from you. These don't fit for some reason. There is a lot of bagging in the material, particularly the lining, and the material won't lie flat, which is what I like so much about the dark brown one. I have tried washing them to see if the liner would shrink a little, but they just don't fit the same way as the brown one. Is there any difference in the material used in these other colors? Thanks.

HerRoom Response: Hello Jan, dyes can have an effect on bras. Manufacturers have told us that darker fabrics require much more pigment to exist in the fabric in order to create the color. This can make the fabric act differently between colors. Jan from Portland, OR, USA

I thought the fit was very good. The back was surprisingly comfortable. I found that the underwires did want to pull away from my rib cage, but not excessively. I expect to purchase another Lilyette 921 soon. Kim from Rockaway NJ USA

This bra did not really work for me. My favorite bra used to be the Bali 3364 minimizer which gave a nice natural shape. Unfortunately, it only goes up to a DD cup which I no longer fit into. This Lilyette in a 38ddd was a bit too small in the cups, but as I'm not yet sure of my correct size, that could be my fault. However, my main issue with the bra was the way that it flattened out my breasts by pushing them way to the sides- my old Bali moved them more up and to the center (but so centered as to make a uniboob). On the plus side, it did feel supportive and comfortable, so if you don't mind the shape it gives, it's probably a good bra. M from Eureka, Ca

Provides support I need without feeling like a brace - low back, good separation, does not show under clothes. Submitted from TheUndies.com

I like this bra, but it's not perfect. I am normally a 34C, but I had to go up a cup size to get my breasts to fit in it properly. It still isn't a perfect fit, but it was the best out of all the ones I tried on. It may be that I'm in between sizes. The cups of the 34C were too small on me. The 36C band was too big. The 34D cups are slightly too big at the bottom. Jami

Great minimizer - would have ordered 2 but you don't seem to have a lot of 34 C. harriet from del mar, ca

Not the best on the market, but pretty good...especially for the price. I would have liked a bit more support, but the comfort made up it. The material is very soft and great with t-shirts. Alie from GA

The Good: material is very soft - it's lovely. Back is nice shape. Nothing anywhere dug in or hurt (wires, material, etc.)
The Not-so-Good: material is too stretchy, taking away any support that there might have been. The shaping is sort of non-existent in the no-seam cup way. It's just too rounded and without any definition. Because the cups are very stretchy, even though the straps are only stretchy in the back, the straps dig as gravity of the breasts in the cups pulls down.

HerRoom Response: Annie, we have noticed that you are leaving several comments about different bras, however, you have also stated that you are a 40G. You are reviewing bras that are not in your actual size. Annie from Chicago/IL/USA

It runs big, so i was actually glad when HerRoom actually sent me the wrong size. This bra is great for shape, but unfortunately had too much fabric on the straps that cuts into your back, right under the shoulder blades. It scratched me so badly that i had to put athletic tape over it. But it worked, and although i hate to have to wear athletic tape on my bra, the bra looks good and is supportive.

the support and lift are great!!! Submitted from TheUndies.com

This is the best bra yet for support. I am a plus size and I needed support, I tried on 7 bras at a major department store of different brands and stopped at this one. It is great!!!! Very comfortable and with a secure feeling, it gives you the lift and the support you need, or at least it worked wonders for me. Finally the search is over !!! I am buying at least 2 in each color.

Fits somewhat tight to begin with, but smooths the "rolls" on the back beautifully. Works just as a minimizer should. Submitted from TheUndies.com

I love this bra! I ordered two more when I realized that I was wearing the first one every day to the exclusion of every other bra in the drawer It does everything you want it to do; minimizes without feeling like a straight jacket, gives a nice shape, is comfortable all day, and the stretchy back gets rid of weird bulges under clothing. My only, only wish would be to make one without the lace on the straps for wear with tank tops. E. from Ohio

I like this bra. It is a firm fitting minimizer. It really eases the fit of my shirts. Very comfortable. I like the thin straps and smoothing back. I would like to see it in a molded cup or something a little thicker. It is a little thin for some shirts I wear for worry free wearing. I will definitely buy this one again. N from Texas

I could not wear the bra's I purchased and have returned them. I need a 36 D or 38D. I am not sure which. I ordered a 36DD, which is what I thought I wore, but the cups were too big and the band tighter than I believe it should have been. I know it is a minimizer, but I had skin hanging over the sides of back of the bra, and it was very uncomfortable. I plan to reorder a different size. I think these bras may fit a little differently.

HerRoom Response: A minimizer will have a firmer fit. And, with any minimizer, it moves your breast tissue around to reduce your projection. Geri from Owingsville, Kentucky, USA

This was the perfect t-shirt bra after searching through the entire Victoria Secret line among others. The band is a sew free band. Not only does it not dig into your back and under arms (which always gave me quite the ripple effect from behind) but it actually smoothed out the contour of my back! I couldn't believe it when I tried it on. Every time I walk in my bathroom I have to check out my back to see how smooth it looks. Great support, doesn't separate and doesn't squeeze together and I don't fall out when I bend over. I only wish it came in a foam padded cup also. I have bought one in every color. Taupe is a no show through color. Jessica from Seattle, Wa
