After wearing the bra, camisole and contour pants for 10 hours today here are my opinions:

Pros:
The support is unparalleled. My breasts were lifted higher than ever before, without any strain or pressure on my shoulders.
The camisole & pants do exactly what they are meant to do. My posture was much better, especially when seated. It was very easy to keep my shoulder blades back and down. The garments are quite firm, but not uncomfortably so. Much more effective than @Spanx, because of the boning,
The bra and camisole together really gather any excess tissue front and center. No back or underarm flab. My breasts were inside the frame of my body.
My clothes looked GOOD (with 2 exceptions which will be noted in the cons).
The bra stayed in place all day.


Cons:
The slight quad boob I experienced with the bra alone was much worse with the camisole. This showed through my sweater slightly. They are going to increase the cup one or 2 sizes the next go round.
The underarms of the camisole chafed somewhat by the end of the day under the arms. The bra was fine.
As far as the band size goes, I think it is slightly too tight, because it is sitting lower than the other bands I've seen (ie closer to my waist). My replacements will have slightly larger bands.
The boning does show through tight clothes, so be forewarned.
I think the thing that bothered me the most was the feeling that I was going to fall out of the cups and the jiggling. This will likely be corrected with the larger cups. I am also more accustomed to full cups, which have a different fit.

As you can see by the before & after pics, however, it is a very good look. I am wearing my prima Donna @Deauville in the before, which I though had excellent support. I still like my Prima Donna's, but I do feel they show how much fullness has been lost from my chest.

This bra is not owned any more

• Hi! Thank you so much for the review. I already placed an order, but I'm still trying to mentally prepare for it all. :) Something I have been concerned about is any bulginess between the top of the pants and the bottom of the camisole. Has this been an issue for you at all?

  I'm so excited to get mine and so happy that overall yours is working well, too!

• Hi cellosubmarine . Not an issue at all. I got the high waisted pants, but I think even with the regular pants you would be fine. The pants do make a difference!
