Has anyone tried the Hollywood Sensation Bra by Frederick's of Hollywood? They are only $8 right now, and I have a code for free shipping. They have 32D but I worry the band is too lose. They also appear to be push ups and those never seem to fit me. I am so tempted by the great deal :P

The other two bras I ordered arrived. First, Maidenform 32D strapless: the band fits but the cups seem too small? They are lightly padded so I wonder if that's why. It also came somewhat damaged so Maidenform is giving me a refund :) I really wish it fit better because the band is so snug. Has anyone removed padding from a bra?

The other is an unlined 30DD Ceriso by M&S. It fits! Not like a glove but it is pre-owned. I have to wear the band on the middle hook. The cup on my larger breast gives very, very subtle quadboob sometimes but I will contribute that to PMS.

  • I've been told Maidenform runs small in the cup.

  • I have the Maidenform Custom Lift Strapless Bra With Convertible Straps and I recall it definitely ran one cup size too small (this was about a year before I got pregnant; there's no way it will fit me NOW). At the time I thought that was because of the push-up padding in the cups -- which I hate normally, but I desperately needed a strapless bra for a special occasion and this was the only model locally available that sort of fitted me -- but maybe it indeed just runs small. One cup size up it fitted fine and fairly comfortably. It wasn't ideal, but really not too bad for a 32 band.

    Which reminds me, maybe I should list it and put it up for sale. It's been worn only once, is in prefect condition, and I'm pretty sure I'm never going to wear it again ...
