This bra is better than my $50 name brand bra. I put on some weight so I’m on the hunt for a good bra. I was buying these name brand bras and was getting size for them they never were comfortable or fit right. So I decided to order a bunch of bras off Amazon that were under $20. And by far this one is it, you can’t even tell there’s a wire, I didn’t know bras could feel soft on the inside, it’s so comfortable I’m ordering more in every color.I love, love, love ALMOST everything about this bra!! Would have given it 5 stars -BUT- it does have a big flaw!!!!!!! It fits very well, it looks very feminine with the added lace, bow & rhinestone embellishment, the cups are comfortable and keep their shape even after washing, the elastic around the rib cage is tight enough that it stays in place, there are only 3 hooks on the back closure of my 34DDD. Which I love!! I HATE big WIDE 4+ hook back closures. The problem with this bra... the shoulder straps DO NOT STAY IN PLACE!!!! Just like all the other reviews say. They IMMEDIATELY start slipping the moment you put the bra on!!! I purchased both the Black and the Bark; for some reason, the slippage on the black is worse!!!Very pretty bra. Supports without having a ton of padding. Edges of the bra do show under clothingThis bra covers good I wouldn’t say it’s the best bra out there on the market but it works. Every time I tighten the straps they come loose again. And this bra doesn’t stretch that much but for the price it’s a good bra overall. I will stick with VS bra’s though.I have bought many brands of bras and I am almost consistently a 36EUK or 36DDDUS. However when I recently created a Bratabase account, it tells you how other bras in other brands may fit and the recommended sizing for that particular model and brand. So, I tried their recommendations for this brand which was a 38D in their UNLINED LACE BRA, because to truly get a frame of reference in a brands sizing (if they are consistent), you really should start with an unlined unpadded bra. With that in mind, every bra I have purchased from Smart & Sexy has fit beautifully and comfortably in a size 38D. It’s extremely odd to me why this is my size in this brand but I honestly don’t care because for the price and quality of the bras it’s beside the point. Seriously, if you order whatever size you are in Victoria’s Secret, Panache, Natori, Freya, Hanes, Vanity Fair, Olga, or Warners, etc… You will not be happy with the fit unless you don’t know your real bra size. Either use the size guide on this product page or go to the companies website and find their size chart. Don’t listen to reviews saying size up size down blah blah because if I had went with my sister size of 38DD this thing would have still been huge. Do this and HAND WASH AND LINE DRY YOUR BRAS EVERY 2-3 wears, ROTATE THEM every day so the elastic has a break, and you will be satisfied. Also a quick tip, if you think you don’t have time to wash your bras by hand, you do… it’s called wash them in the shower- a former VS manager told me this tip and it takes 2 minutes.It looks to be a great bra for the money. I'm impressed with the quality and fit. Please keep making 34DDD's and add more selection in this size!!I was not sure because of the price but this bra is just fine . Not a Wow ! For this low price great For work . Great colors too..The order came quickly, as expected. I tried them on and they fit perfectly. I ordered a 38 DDD. They did make me feel like my boobs were pointy. I asked my husband what he thought. He said it all looked fine with a shirt on but yes, a little pointy. Wore it to work (I work at a bar). I didn't slide out or have to readjust myself however, once I started moving around, the bra got itchy and started rubbing my skin raw between my breasts and under my arm area (where the underwire stopped). After a few washes, they still make my skin raw. These are great for in a pinch, need something cheap and quick but as far as long term, I will still need to purchase a more expensive one from a brand name store. They are supportive but I felt really "bouncy" when I walked around...Ordered one of these bras out of isolation desperation! Up until now, I have been a pretty loyal La Vie en Rose shopper but was unable to purchase my regular choice of bra on line. I was somewhat skeptical that a bra at half the price I normally pay would be comparable. Was I WRONG!!! It's perfect! In fact I like it so much I've ordered 2 more! Quality of workmanship is as good or better that the higher priced "mall stores". Fit is smooth and looks great under all my clothes. I would highly recommend!It's very difficult to find a 42-46C Push-Up Bra for plus size women. I started out with no boobs until I gained weight. I'm an apple shape & very unproportioned. But this super padded bra def adds 2 cup sizes & pushes the girls up & adds great cleavage!! I'm definitely going to be ordering more in different colors. The downside is the damn wire is so uncomfortable but it's the price you pay with underwire.I just about cried when I found this bra on Amazon. I used to shop at one of the local lingerie chain store for my “go to” bra. Not only did that store close down multiple locations in Canada, but the ones that do remain open lost the supplier for this particular bra that was similar. This bra fits even better than the one from that lingerie store. Love it and in buying one in every colour. I love the up two size bras because they make me look like I want to look without having to pay for an expensive breast augmentation!!Je craignais d'être déçue en lisant les commentaires, mais mon opinion est positivement contraire !1-Tissu très doux. J'ai acheté le rose et il est invisible sous mes chandails blancs. Dentelle lisse ne laissant pas de texture paraître sous les vêtements.2-Coupe parfaite. Contrairement aux commentaires, je ne me sens pas serrée avec cette brassière. Je porte 32D, je mesures seulement 5'2" et pèse quand même 120 lbs.3- Il manque une étoile à mon évaluation. C'est au niveau de la qualité. Le tissu est très extensible et je trouve qu'il manque de corps. Je me questionne sur la durabilité de ce produit.4- Pour ce qui est de l'apparence, c'est une belle brassière aussi discrète qu'un modèle uni beige.I’m a lady who is very curvy in the ladies department! I usually pay about $100 for a bra. It gets pricey after a while so I thought I’d try this out, no big loss if it didn’t work. The bra it self was a nice material and felt comfy wearing it. After the first day of wearing it, the back clasp (the first row) broke on me. Not deal breaker since there’s 3 rows of clasps. Other than that, it’s been good.
