It fits great. The only thing I have a tiny issue with is that it slips down just a bit, but for the most part, it stays put. Ngedikes from Tualatin, OR

Love this bra - is exactly what is needed under a see-thru shirt and also works well for exercise. Marilyn from Long Island, NY

I liked this bra. It was made well and attractive on, but it was a little too tight. It fit, but I can't imagine wearing it for a couple of hours because of the tightness.

Maidenform Response: The tightness you are describing suggests that it may be a fit issue. Unfortunately, this bra does not come in a higher size, but there are other strapless styles from Maidenform that may work for you. Check out HerRoom for their selections! Janet from Wheeling, WV

My daughter really wanted this style so I ordered it even though I'm not partial to bandeau bras. This one, as supportive as it is, also seems to push down on the chest and leaves an unattractive profile.

Maidenform Response: This is an unstructured bra. Based on your comment regarding the "pushing down", it makes me wonder if you are wearing the correct size. It's important to make sure you are in the correct size, as this will make a huge difference in the fit of your bra. Marlene from Japan

Does not stay up, feels tight ,and hurts top rolls over in front. I brought 3 and cannot wear any of them. My shoulder hurts where a bra usually is fastens.

Maidenform Response: Sounds like it might be a fit issue. This may be the incorrect size as the bra is not a truly structured bra for support. W. Sperry from Clinton ,Mo. USA

Very cute bandeau bra. I'm excited about wearing it. Hillary from San Diego, CA

Because it has strong compression, it isn't as comfortable as I had hoped, but it's reasonably tolerable, and it stays up while keeping "the girls" where they need to be. I just don't recommend wearing it for more than an eight-hour workday. Sharon from Delray Beach

So nice to wear a strapless bra that doesn't bind, but still have support Ginny from Bakersfield

Garment is very comfortable. It is just a little difficult to put on. Norma

Ugh! If it weren't for having arms, I could have pulled the top of this up to my neck. I ordered the beige color which is very dark and just plain ugly. The whole thing just wasn't what I was expecting based on the photos (fit and color). I will say it's comfortable. I wear a 36A so I ordered the 36 and the 38 (36's can be quite snug at times) and the 36 was comfortable enough. I also ordered the honeydew 242480 in L, and while I need to use my Dimrs (purchased in at HerRoom) to provide modesty, it was a much better fit for me. I'm sure this would work for others - it just didn't work for me so I returned it. Cheri from MI

As good as a strapless bra can possibly be! I've tried a bunch - this one is the most comfortable fit and doesn't really feel like it's coming down during the day. Angela from Chattanooga, TN USA

Wasn't sure this would work on a petite 34A frame, but it's very comfy and stays up nicely. It doesn't totally flatten your chest like some other bandeaus would since it has a hint of padding. The only downside is that it sits pretty high in the front and the back, so it requires a high front and back neckline. rikki from ny

The bra is pretty and soft, but the cup is too big and stiff for a size A. Olivia from Scottsdale, AZ USA

not as comfortable or subtle looking as I had hoped -- it is tight around the edges so pushes fat up on top -- perhaps because it can be worn strapless -- I am looking for a simple bandeau bra held up by straps, not by the elastic around the bra itself -- have an old Calvin Klein that I love, no padding or anything but can't find another!

This bra is super comfortable, but it cannot be worn with deep v neck shirts. It is great under tshirts and I don't have any trouble with it falling down. Abigail

This bra doesn't have a good fit to it. Ordered two, one in black, and one in white. The black was on back order so I canceled it. Wouldn't buy this brand again.

Maidenform Response: This bra is a tube top with no cup size. It’s not made to support – only offer coverage Jen from Boston

This bra is really comfortable. It's not the greatest shaping, but pretty good for a wire-less. Elsa from Wisconsin

The fabric is kind of thick, which I guess would make it more supportive for folks with actual boobs. I have virtually none, so just want something for modesty and a little shaping, but this one felt a little loose and the shape was unnatural on me. Lynn from Tacoma, WA
