Va Bien Low Plunge Bustier 6363 Reviews

I can wear either a 34C or a 36B and the cups of this 36B were just a little bit small for me. I think a 34C on the widest set of hooks would have worked better. I am very tall so the length of this bustier not quite what I needed, but the back was very nice and low which would have been great for my dress. The satiny bodice feels very nice on, and is comfortable to sit in but because I am over 50 and my flesh has become softer, I tended to poke out of the lower sides when I sat. A girl more youthful or firm would not likely have that problem. I am average weight, 147 pounds at 6' 1/2" tall and my measurements are: above bust 33", bust 36", below bust 30", waist 30" hips 38". I do tend to have that "wheat belly" so needed a longer garment to keep that in line! I also ordered and was very happy with the Carnival 386, which I have kept. Over all the Va Bien 6363 is pretty, comfortable, and comfortable to sit in. I would definitely recommend trying it but knowing what I know now, I would probably try a 34C instead. Peg

I am returning this bustier because although it fits, I don't think it will do much for my bust and I am hoping to find something that is backless with more lift/wow factor up top. The sizing was accurate for me. I would have liked the mid section to be a bit tighter to pull me in. Maybe I should have gone down a cup size. Jessica from Philadelphia, PA, US

Fits snugly! This will be perfect for under my wedding dress! Luci from IL

Pros: It's very pretty, appears sturdy and well made. Subtracted at least an inch and a half off of my waistline, and gave me a nice shape. The length is perfect for me at 5'2"; other bustiers I've had have dug uncomfortably into my groin when sitting down, and/or buckled and bulged at the stomach. This does neither, and that's hard to find! Cons: However, because of the low back, there are several issues with the fit. The bust cups tend to want to stand away from my body. There is literally zero support. If I raise my arms at all, my boobs fall out! Of course, I tried it on with a regular strapless dress and the dress will hold the cups towards the bust, but its really just there for decoration, I think. This is not an issue of the bustier not being tight enough. First of all, my low-back wedding dress does not have the problem of the front cups standing away from the body. Furthermore, this bustier was so tight in my normal size that I could hardly get it on at the loosest row of hooks. And, it left quite a bit of back bulge. Unfortunately, I cannot go up a band size as my cup size is only A. If I had tried it on in a store, I might not have purchased it, but then again, it is really hard to find bustiers that comfortably fit us petite gals.

Va Bien Response: Thanks for your thorough review! It would seem that a tight bodice would hold the cups close to the bust – and indeed the garment should be snug – but in fact if the bodice is too tight it can cause the garment to buckle, pushing the cups away from the bust. From the difficulty described in putting the garment on, on the first row of hooks, it seems that the bodice was indeed too tight and such was the case. If we made size 36AA it might have worked out. We hope you found something else that worked for you! Sophia from San Francisco, CA

I typically wear a 32DD bra. I needed a strapless bra that I could be sure would stay up and know from experience that has to be a bustier for me. Regular strapless bras slide down my torso no matter how tight I get them. I tried asst brands in local specialty and dept stores and all were too big. So happy to see you have such a great asst of sizes! I jumped down to a 32D on this and it was a perfect fit in every way. Constructed well and does not bunch on the torso. I am small. 5'3" and 95 pounds but proportionate so someone taller, etc should not be afraid it would be too short or too tight. The only possible negative I would have with this is that they do not include a pushup insert. The pocket is there. Although a phone call to you educated me to the proper insert I could buy from you I really wanted to see one in it to be sure it fit in the pockets so had to make an additional trip to the mall to try some out. I purchased inserts there. Sherrie from Nashville/TN/USA

I got this to wear under my maid of honor dress for my sister's wedding. It's strapless and has a low, asymmetrical back; this was the only thing I could find that worked with the unique back. It fits great and helps me feel secure, I didn't worry at all about falling out of it. Megan from Minnesota

Great item - finally found a bustier of the right size that did not bunch in the middle. I will be wearing this with my wedding dress in July, and finding a bra with a low plunge style was important as my dress is a v-neck with shoulder straps. Product is great and even better was the service from HerRoom. I selected 1-day shipping so it would arrive in time for my dress fitting, and was shocked when it was actually shipped the same day I ordered - so it was at my house the next day! I know I selected 1 day shipping, but most places still take at least a day to process the order. Thanks HerRoom! Elizabeth from Santa Rosa, CA, USA

This item rubbed me under the arms to the point of distraction. I knew I wouldn't be able to wear it to an all-day wedding. It fit great in my ample waist, but the cups were humongous. Cup size B was as small as it would go in a 40 band! I absolutely love ordering from HerRoom, as they make ordering and returning sooooo simple! But I'm afraid I just couldn't keep this bustier.

Va Bien Response: It sounds as though this bustier was too long in the torso for you. A rare occurrence with this style, as it is more short-waisted than our other bustiers. We would recommend a bra and control bottom pairing for example the Va Bien Ultra-Lift Low Plunge Convertible Bra 1502 paired with Va Bien Satin Firm Control High Waist Girdle 3766.

I needed this because my dress so low in the back and this was the only one I found that would work with it. Fit perfectly. Amy from Houston, TX

This was fairly comfortable to try on, but I have not worn it for a long period of time. I will have to exchange for a larger band size. It is very well made and very flattering to my shape. You will definitely need help putting it on since it has 7 hooks in the back! The cream color is very "bridey" which is perfect since I am wearing it under my wedding dress. This will show through on thinner style material like silk but my dress has lots of layers so it doesn't matter. I plan on purchasing the matching underwear, too. Kerri from Kernersville/NC/USA

I bought this to wear under my wedding dress. Perfect fit, gives great shape and tummy flattening, and doesn't bulge when I sit down (which is hard to find for a short girl like me, 5 feet tall). It's also very pretty/sexy. Tara from North Carolina

Definitely gives you an hourglass, though there is no support whatsoever in the cups. I'm small-boobed so it isn't that much of an issue, but I would have liked to know that should my dress slip down, heaven forbid, the cup won't go down with it and give my new in-laws a show. Luckily my mom sews and added a little structure to it so it should work out fine for my big day. rebecca from grand rapids MI

I followed the sizing instructions, but found the band to still be too small, as well as the cup size. However, the size was just barely off, so I really wish I had ordered my normal size too, as I think this item would have fit really well under my wedding dress, as the length was perfect.

I loved the look of the bustier, but it fits very small to size. As a petite person it fit my torso very well, but it also wasn't low plunge enough for the wedding dress that I ordered it for. Unfortunately I had to return it and figure out something else for my big day. Brittany from Broomfield

This item was too bulky and not supportive to be worn under my wedding gown. I returned it.

VaBien Response:Sounds like a bra rather than a bustier would have been a better choice, if bulk is an issue, and also that the garment was too large if it felt unsupportive. Maureen

Really gives you a nice hourglass, but doesn't really fit tight around the bust, would help if had optional strap to go across the back Gwen from Urban, IL
