This bra is a plunge bra. The band is a bit tight for me, even though my chest is 37 and this is marked as a 40. That is usual from a Cacique bra. It is very smoothing in the back because of the mesh fabric they use on the sides and back. Everything else on the bra is great. I'm bottom heavy and this bra pushes the girls together and doesn't have any gap in the top of the cup. That's more than can be said for most bras I've had.
I would definitely recommend this bra! It's been a staple in my closet for years. When i found this style of bra, it changed my silhouette forever. I have had many compliments on my chest, bra, size of breasts, where they sit, perkiness etc (from friends or family that know me and give me compliments or criticism) whenever i wear this bra.
I find that since the sides of this bra are re-enforced with a built in straight wire, my sides do not roll at all and stay flat against my body which was a huge plus for me. Also, this bra gives exellent cleavage and has air ...pillow slots (pillows included) that i can take out or leave in depended on how much cleavage i want. Also, since I'm not entirely symmetrical, sometimes i leave in only one air pillow in order for my chest to look even.
A con would be that this bra can stretch out rather quickly. The band stretches quite a bit and i find that the band rides up in the back. Even when i fasten using the last hook, the band still rides up but then, most of these bras are made from cotton so it naturally stretches out. The good thing is that these bra's are pretty cheap (especially when you get them during their sales which they have all the time!) so they are pretty easy to afford.
