This is my all time favorite bra & an exceptionally pretty minimizer that miraculously worked without a weird, squashed shape, crazy cleavage or boob-pits. Soma inexplicably discontinued the bra in 2013 & as of this writing (May '16) have no plans to bring the minimizer back (the non-minimizer Sensuous lace remains). I wish I had properly measured this bra before it was worn to bits, but alas I didn't. If you have a well kept one I would appreciate the measurements to hunt down a comparable item or if you are one of the many fans of the Soma Sensuous lace 3" minimizer and found something similar please pass it forward and I will do the same.
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.
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 Read more 80 more words
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.
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.
This bra could be very comfortable, but the band is too large and stretchy. Also, the strap adjusters are at the top of the strap and dig into my shoulders. Stupid placement, no matter the boob size.
This bra is/was incredibly comfortable. It is great for tee shirts and colder weather but I didn't wear it much in the summer. When this bra fit me properly it was my go-to tee shirt bra and every day bra. The straps are incredibly wide and comfy and don't dig into your shoulders. Unfortunately I am pretty sure I went up in cup size again so now I have to readjust it all the time.
This is the best bra I've ever owned. My boobs are "full on top" and this fits without gaps on top and without creating 4 boobs. I also have narrow shoulders and this stays on great. [Update: over time the band stretches considerably. I'm going to try the trick of sewing a ribbon onto the band so it can't stretch.]
