Love the look of this bra, but I am trying to get away from foam padded bras. May just keep this one for t-shirts. Anyone like these Soma bras?

This bra is the closest to fitting perfectly that I've gotten. It's main failing is it's wide set straps and the high wings. It irritates my arm pits. Otherwise it makes the girls look fabulous!

I love these bras however they need to sell narrower bands at Soma. Nonetheless these bras are so comfortable and my go to bra for several years for work and for a game of golf after work! This bra is really too small in the cup but due to the larger band I can get by with them. And still very comfortable!

This bra does not hold my side boob at all. The underwire pokes into my arm causing skin irritation and bruising. I like the rest of the fit and the shape though.

I wear Soma bras in 32C, occasionally 32D. Their sizing is extremely inconsistent, which is frustrating. I ordered 2 bras from an online sale because each bra was $10.00. Stunning Support Posture bra is a disappointment. I was excited about the front-close feature, because many front-close bras provide extra side-support. This one, however, runs very big in comparison to other Soma bras. The band is too long, the cups are too tall and too wide, and the underwires seem much too long for a 32C bra. As a result of all this, this bra provides not only 0 posture support, but 0 boob support. It covers my breasts, and that's about it. I'll likely try to alter it to see what I can come up with.

I got this bra for $10.00, so I have to be kind in my review. This really is a great bra -soft, comfortable, and durable. Had I never discovered the magic of the true bra fit, I would have thought this to be one of the best-fitting bras I've ever had. However, compared to, say, my 30DD Panache Porcelains, this fit is average. I have to use the tightest hooks on the straps, but the band does stay in place, for now. This is something I can't say for many other brands with 32 bands. Soma 32 bands, for the most ... part, are wearable for very petite builds. The cups on this bra are foam, and they are slightly padded, but they don't have bump pads (thank goodness). This claims to be a push-up bra, and it works as one, but it is also a push-in bra. Bras with tall sides are just what I need, because, after 3 babies, my boobs decided to migrate to my armpits. The thing about this bra is that the shape of the cups don't give me a nice, rounded smoothness. They have a very typical "American" bra shape - triangles with tall sides that cut straight across breast tissue. Instead of lifting the whole breast (a la Porcelain and Maddie), the cups cut into my breasts and "quad". With the 32 band, this is wearable (remember I paid $10.00 for this bra), and my breasts are shallow. I can't imagine that this would work for someone FOT, if it cuts into shallow tissue. This is a good bra for both "plunge" and "push-up" functions, and I really, really like that the cups don't have awkward bumps or heavy padding.

I was excited to find a locally-buyable bra with a pretty decent fit. I'll have to alter the band down, but that's normal for me, and this is really firm for a 32. It doesn't dig in in the gore, and has the immediate depth I need. I expected a "full-coverage" bra to cut into my upper boob but it's just right and gives me a nice rounded look. This is a super t-shirt bra. Also, the saleswoman was helpful and took me at my word that a 32D was the closest fit for their inventory. Nice! I'm hoping this lasts a good long time once I alter it.

This is a nice bra, just too big for me at my current size. I bought this when I was 40 pounds heavier and the cups and band fit better then, but the underwire has always been uncomfortable because it goes too high up on the sides into my underarm. I also feel that the center gore is a little too high and pokes me.

It's such a comfy bra and looks so nice. Even though it doesn't fit /perfectly/ it's definitely my favorite one

I have a lot of issues with this bra but most of them are due just to being the wrong size. This does make a good t shirt bra, nothing ever shows underneath, HOWEVER the little rectangular metal thingys on the straps are the absolute worse. If the straps are supporting anything at all they will slide, poke you, and in the process lengthen the straps lessening support and become visible there. Beware those of large bust.

This bra is a sister size to my usual size (30FF UK). So the cup volume was perfect, but of course the band was much too large. However, the fabric is soft and the underwire is strong but comfortable. This is a limited edition bra that came out around Valsntine's Day and was purchased as a surprise to for my sweetie. He loved it! Very sexy, and also functional enough for everyday wear.

I am on a journey to find the right fitting bra. This bra fits great everywhere but the cup. If they had this in a 38H would love it. I like the way it is made and how it feels on.

Thank goodness for Soma and Wacoal. Without them I would have a heck of a time finding a bra that fits! This one is black with gold embroidery. It is sheer and sexy. Gives a nice lift and shape.

A firm bra that holds you tightly, but what would you expect from a minimizer? Beautiful shiny soft material that stretches nicely to conform to both breasts. Comfortable even after a long time on.

I picked up this bra from a clearance rack (I guess green lace isn't popular?) and loved it from the minute I tried it on. I've worn it somewhat regularly for about one year and the band has only stretched minimally. I still wear it on the outermost hooks with no sliding of the band. The shape is great for me, as the seams in the middle line up perfectly with my nipples so the unlined bra takes the exact shape of my breasts with no gaps or spillage, and definitely has nice lift! Being an unlined bra, you might have to worry about a cool breeze if ... worn under a thin shirt in public. The gore tends to dig in ever so slightly when new, but once the bra is more broken in this is no longer an issue. Poly mesh dries quickly after washing, which is a nice bonus. I have sensitive skin, but it isn't itchy at all!
Pros: Great shape, great fit, long-lasting, and super cute if you want to show off to someone special...!
Cons: Not so modest under thin tops, quite stiff when new

This bra fits in the wire (root), the gore is the right height for me, but the cup runneth over, the band is very comfortable as well, but the straps dig in (this I believe has to do with my breast tissue being too big for the cup). The cup pushes breast tissue down and out giving a very squished fit.

When I first purchased the bra it was comfortable but a bit tight in the cup, but I thought that would be okay since I was loosing weight (and still am), As I have lost weight the cup still remains too tight (not loosing weight in the bust area).

Soma in general makes great bras, but they don't carry a broad enough range of sizes to fit someone like me.

This seemed to fit well in the store but I can't wear it now. I just can't do it. Cups are too wide. I have the same problem as I do with other full coverage bras where my right cup folds in at the top when I lean or sit. Starts to poke into my sternum and sides after sitting. Very soft though...

This is the first properly fit bra I've worn. The so-called "professional bra fitters" put me in a 34 B, but with the Sensous Sides I wear a 32 C. It is my current favorite, but I'm looking for something better. I got this bra because of the side support, a lot of my breast tissue has migrated to my underarms and possibly my back. Besides the prices ($50 retail) I don't have any complaint. However I'm planning to try something with a taller/higher wing for additional side support.

I really like the way this bra fits. It is snug without being binding. And, it is very pretty. It is a size larger than I normally wear, meaning it seems to run a bit small. The underwires seem to extend a bit higher on the outsides than I like. Even so, it is very comfortable to wear.

I love this bra, but I have it in a too small cup size. It's a perfect fit for my smaller breast, but the larger one spills over. The wire width is perfect for my narrow roots. The band is also comfortable. The straps could be a little closer together (I like bands with really narrow straps), as they do fall off my shoulders sometimes. I will probably try this bra on in one or two cup sizes larger now that I know how to put on a bra properly!
