I have ordered and sent back so many bras lately I have lost count. This one, finally is a WINNER! Totally comfortable, true to size, and the straps stay in place. I can't tell you how totally satisfied I am. I am now going to begin purchasing two a week until I have a stockpile of them. DT from Miami, Florida USA

First, it is a very comfortable bra. And I did get my inch reduction. But, I was not impressed by the shape it made my large breasts. While I will wear this bra with my tailored blouses (the entire reason for purchasing this specific bra type), it will not be a t-shirt bra. The lack of wearing versatility (due to breast shaping) earns it a 3 star given its price, but its great comfort definitely makes up for it and makes it a 4 star. Mary from Bandon

Ill fit, not enough support. Purchased one cup larger than what I generally wear, and it still did not fit. Rosemarie from Chicago

I have had minimizers that used the side panel area to hold some of the extra from being too "out there". Unfortunately this bra created a really unnatural shape, the gusset was grandma height, and the side panels did nothing to assist with the shaping. Stacia from Maine

I forget this is an underwire, it is so comfortable. Very seamless under clothing. The cups, which don't stretch, are a very nice contour--no pointy rocket-look. Eva from Indiana

Very comfortable, pretty bra. Wide-set straps make it a bit sexy. Gives better support than I thought it would since straps are somewhat stretchy. Sheila from Connecticut

As tiny as I am, my chest is the only thing large on me and it has been more than a headache trying to find a bra that fits comfortably and securely...until now!!! All I can say is "thank you Simon Perele!!" When I first saw the bra, I was a little sad because it looked flimsy, but once I put it on it was love at first fit!! The bra not only holds the girls up, it fits comfortably, gives awesome support and has even gone so far as to improve my posture a little. I am wearing tops that I have never been able to wear before and I love it. This bra is awesome and a must have for any woman with a large bust. 5 stars all the way!!! Ang from St. Louis, MO, USA

I was very disappointed with this bra. I bought two styles of Simone Perele minimizer bras and had the same problem with both. Although I have had very good luck with this brand before, specifically the lace and demi-cup styles, and those fit perfectly, the minimizers did not. The cups were way too big and I don't see how that could work as a minimizer if they are wrinkled and loose. I have returned and ordered a smaller cup size; will hope those work because the bras do look nice and appear to be of the usual good quality for this brand.

S imone Perele Response: We are so pleased that you had a perfect fit experience with the Simone Perele Demi Cup Style. Please note that minimizers are designed with a deep cup to provide substantial coverage and have the benefit of providing the appearance of “minimizing” the breast a full cup size. We are confident you will find another perfect fit experience with our Demi shaped 3D Molded Cups; Andora 131343, Romance 115343, Caressence 12J343. Anne from Philadelphia, PA

I really like this bra but do not feel that it minimizes the size of my breasts. However, it is comfortable. Donna from Wixom, MI USA,

It's very difficult for me to find bras that not only fit, but that are comfortable and supportive. This bra has it all for me. I wear it every day (well I rotate between the other 4 I own). If you're looking for comfort, this is definitely your bra! *Note- I am consistently a 32G; the cups did not run small for me. KERRY from Akron

It's a lovely bra, fits well, underwires do not cut into my sides. However, the straps loosen each time I wear it so I need to sew them to keep them from "readjusting" themselves. The other issue is the straps (usually the right one) fold in half at my shoulder area so it digs into my shoulder by the end of the day. Hopefully sewing the straps so they don't loosen will resolve this problem as well because wider straps are a necessity in large cup bras. I would like to make a suggestion- please offer more fashion colors in larger bras like this one. They don't have to be bright- a light pink, olive toned yellow or taupe with a light trim would be wonderful as one of these colors would be considered neutral on virtually every skin tone and offer us something prettier to wear. And please do something to dress up the straps (like the contrasting trim or a muted print) as bra straps are so often exposed in tops we wear (whether by accident or intentionally).

Best bra I have ever owned! Cup size runs a bit smaller than average, I suggest increasing size by two. Ellen from Virginia

The bra cup was too small. and nowhere near how other bras are sized. It was one of the worst bras I have ever tried on. This brand is not for fuller-bustsed women. Tara from Chicago

I love this bra. I loved it the first time Simone Perele introduced it (many years ago!) and I love that they've brought it back. I would agree with the the previous review that it doesn't make me look like a C cup, but then again, I don't want to wear a pancake flattner- I want a good looking bra! I feel that it gives me the perfect "minimizing" effect. And even better I don't have indentions on my shoulders and/or back issues any longer. Thank you! tracey from tonganoxie, ks

I was not happy with this bra. I should of returned it but didn't. The cups run small. Sally

This item lightweight and comfortable. To note, there is little or none "minimizing effect" on my bust, I still like it as a well made soft but tensile fabric. My frame is quite short as I am only 4'11 so most " petite bras" fit is just as awkward as most average bras. Amanda from Oakland,Ca

I have a similar stlye from this vendor that I wore for several years. That bra held up very well after many launderings and almost daily wear. It was past time to replace and I found the Nila style on your website. I am as happy with it as I was with their earlier style. I will purchase another soon. Carol from Atlanta Ga

This was my first minimizer purchase and I couldn't be more pleased. I was looking for a bra to provide very strong support without being too rigid. The material is super soft and the shape really flatters! For someone who is on her feet all day, the additional comfort this bra provides makes a huge difference. I would definitely recommend!

This minimizer by far surpassed my expectations. The soft fabric was so delicate on my sensitive skin and the fit was flawless. The straps even stayed in place! This one is worth every penny. Debbi from Chicago, IL

This is by far the most comfortable bra I own. Unlike the previous review, I do not have trouble keeping this on my shoulders. It fits perfectly. I own it in every color available and I own (2) of each color! Really, this is the only bra I wear. I find it to be not only extremely comfortable, but it also provides A LOT of support and really doesn't make me look like a 40E. I look like a 34B..ok, maybe not that small, but the bra truly makes me feel that good! Sherry from South Dakota

I love this bra. It is the most comfortable bra I have ever worn. I would have given the bra a 5 except that I cannot keep the straps on my shoulders. When I tighten the straps, they only come loose again & slide off of my shoulders. I am so disappointed because I would definitely purchase another one if the straps would stay on.
