Looks nice from the front under clothes, with epic cleavage, but really uncomfortable. Has boning on the sides of the band that are supposed to keep the band from rolling, but really they just bend and dig into your sides.
The wires sit on my tissue, and the band feels super tight. If I scoop and swoop, it's barely more than a nipple hat, but the band feels a little better. I will say that it seems to run a little bigger in the cup than the average American F, so that was a slight plus.
I made the mistake of trusting the sales person at Fredericks, who kept trying to get me to go up a band size, and finally decided this was a good fit on me after I refused to go up to a 38. Not surprisingly, my correct size just *happened* to be the largest cup they have in a 36 band. The fit is totally wrong, too big in the band, too small in the cup, and doesn't work at all unless you keep the enormous foam pads in it.
the cup was a tad small and the band was too big. It did not give support. The band is not that adjustable. It has the backing of a bathing suit. I cannot see this being a supportive bra to anyone.Which, in hindsight, I should have known considering it is reversible.
This bra is adjustable so I made the band fit me, even though I normally wear a 34 band. I constantly have to adjust my right boob(the larger one)from sliding into the left and trying to escape the bra. If I dont adjust throughout the day my boobs will completely come out. i'm thinking I just cant wear plunge bras. I have wore this bra alot and it still has not stretched out. And its really pretty. If only Fredericks bras came in larger cup sizes!
