The bra did provide good support, but the cup size was a little too small for me. The bra made my breasts feel secure, nicely rounded, well lifted and the straps were comfortable. The gore did not lie flat on me and if I went down a size in the strap, I feel like it would be way too tight. However, This may just be because the cup size was too small for me and I think would've fit much better If I had gone up a cup size or two. Great bra especially for the lower price point it was when I bought it.
