I bought this bra from a seller at poshmark.com. So it is used. It is also a vintage model from the 1980's I am pretty sure. I bought this bra in 40DD because that's the size that seems to working for me lately and also because it is close to the style of Vanity Fair bras that I wore back in the 1980's. (which I loved!) Even though it cost me less than $20 I was bummed that it didn't fit!https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> The 40DDcups were way small , so I never even got the bra all the way on!
Here's my description of this bra, Black, 4 hook underwire bra with 2 part cups. with the upper cups being lace with minimal stretch. It has 5/8" straps that are only adjustable half the length.

Little big, but a perfect fit is tough with wirefree. Comfortable and works for me!

I originally got this bra used in hopes of altering the band to fit however that was a much bigger endeavor than I cared for and I realized the cups we're too small for me. I can't say how it fits as it is nowhere near my size but I imagine it is quite comfortable if it fits properly.

This bra does not fit at all, but is the closest bra I have found and I wear it everyday. It offers no lift or support and my back aches all day. I would like to use this bra to compare other bras I post listings for "fitting help"

Very pretty bra with a good fit but it's overall design is too large for my smaller frame. also the cups give an outward pointing shape.

Vanity Fair has not made this bra in years. I found this one NOS on eBay. I have always loved this style and I have had more than a few. It is silky, smooth, and sexy. The lace is superb and the overall quality of the bra is excellent. It is almost a perfect fit, though I have had to bend the wires at the gore outward a little bit to prevent digging. If you don't swoop and scoop, the wires can dig a little on the outside, but if the swoop and scoop stays put, no problem.

Was originally looking for 36DDD but VF doesn't go that high in a cup so I was recommended the sister size. At first the bra was annoying around my armpit though that might be due to the first time wearing a properly fitted bra or one of us adjusted to the other. It fits well & holds me in still after using it about 3 times a wk for months & the washes in the machine on delicate. Little to no adjustments with all day wear & I move a lot working with animals. Wish I could have gotten a 36 band to compensate the stretching of the band but it seems to have stop stretching.

When I was finally fitted for a bra, this bra along with a few others I bought fit comfortably, one of the first times I had truly experienced that with a bra. However, as my breast tissue has migrated, it no longer fits. I now wear a bigger cup and smaller band. Wacoal no longer has any bras in my size, otherwise I would get one in this style.

The fully adjustable straps are a godsend as I have a more petite torso. Most of the time bra straps are too long, making the bra droop.

For those with this size, I highly recommend this bra.

I think this bra is great for women with loose, floppy breast tissue and wide shoulders. This has been the only bra I've found that can hold my boobs attractively in place since I lost weight. They've escaped out of the bottoms and sides of all the others I've tried. I still have to adjust them a couple of times a day with this bra since the band isn't perfectly tight and the bases of my boobs never truly make it to the underwire - too flat/oval-shaped... but I don't like wearing the band as tight as most seem to. I have a lot of axial breast tissue that no bra seems able to touch, so bands and straps of all sorts cut into the flub and muscle in my armpits and back, and it's visible through a shirt. This bra minimizes that effect while keeping the girls in line.

This Vanity Fair bra is practically ancient. I got it when my breasts practically exploded in size my freshman year of high school. It fit as well as could have been expected then, though I really needed a 30-32" band size. I'm now a 32 DDD and it serves as my emergency bra, but the band is extremely stretched out and the cups are way too small. Considering the circumstances, it's held up extremely well. If you have a constant bra size and are looking for a good, lightweight, lightly supportive t-shirt bra that will stand up to a lot of use, I would recommend this one. However, if you're over a D cup, it probably won't offer you enough support. The bands are slightly thicker than average which is a plus for comfort.

I purchased this back when I believed cup sizes bigger than DDD were insane. This is definitely not my size. Band far too big and cups too small.

Straps just a bit wide. Band stretches with wear. Top of cups gape a little / cup is not quite full

The fabric at the top wrinkles slightly, so technically it doesn't fit. But it is smooth everywhere else and very comfortable. It is a very pretty bra, but then I favor full coverage bras, and I like the lace and satiny feel. No poking or digging problems. I got it used, so no telling about stretch. It appears tight.

This is a nice, conventional soft-cup underwire bra. I bought it about 5 years ago, and don't have much chance to wear it. It fits me well (with help in the cups), and is comfortable. It doesn't poke. I purchased it used, and it showed some stretching when I bought it. It is a nice bra, but nothing special.

I didn't realise this was a minimizer when I purchased it and as far as I'm concerned, it has way too much coverage. It is tight, due to its wide and powerful, 4-hook band, but it will stretch. The wires are closer to what I think I need. On the one hand, it seems too deep but at the same time I feel completely squished, almost achieving quad boob. Maybe there's some distortion of the wire which is causing the bottom of the cup to wrinkle. It definitely fits tighter than I expected, given that it's a 40 instead of a 38.

All told, if you need your girls wrangled in, this bra would serve that purpose. I don't like it and want to un-own it.

Pretty good. Center ogre is a touch high and top of cups not quite filled.

I bought this bra after pregnancy because I was confident I could go back down to a 34D from my 38DD nursing bras.

Five years later, I find out my true size is 30 F/FF, 32 E/F and this bra does not fit. Quad boob galore, orange-in-a-glass effect, band can be pulled two inches off my back.

Event though it doesn't fit, it's a beautiful bra, and well made too.

I bought this bra from ebay where it was presented as a 60G bra, it has definately been worn, but seems to be good quality and not stretched out. It's most definately not 60G. However the size is quite hard to decide, since the lable is torn and says both I and G. I never wore it.
