This bra is comfortable to a certain extent. The straps are made of fabric and material for the first half of the strap with smooth elastic for the second half. I have to have the bra straps almost as short as they adjust to wear it. The first half of the straps have a material that lines the underside of the strap and towards the end of the day I feel like this rubs along my shoulders causing red marks. The cups are made of memory foam and provide good modest coverage. The band is really stretchy and I don’t feel it provides enough support. I have a few of these I got during the year end sale, so I’ve had to take the bands in to make them smaller. Overall this is a comfortable bra as long as I’m not wearing all day long.

I love the super soft fabric, and was able to find some pretty cute colors and patterns online. The lace being on the outside of the cups is nice because of my sensitive skin, but now that I'm a larger size, I find that this model doesn't give me the structure or shape that I'd like to have. Still pretty comfy for a lazy T-shirt kind of day though.

I wish this bra was made in more sizes! It's the most comfortable and supportive bra I've worn in the 10 years I've been wearing one. The perfect width for my narrow rooted breasts but the cup is too shallow for me producing quadboob. If I gently bend the underwire to conform to my ribs the gore tacks and stays tacked. Leaving the wires straight the gore *almost* tacks. Really sexy, supportive, and comfortable if you fit into them. I find the demi version has slightly more quadboob effect than the Perfect Coverage Body by Victoria because it IS a lower cut, but there's also less fabric in the armpit area which means it's more comfortable for me and others like me where our tail of spence really gets irritated by extra fabric.

I bought this bra at the beginning of the summer (or whenever VS had that major sale). I normally don't buy their bras, in fact this was my first (and probably last) one. The straps are, for some reason, not fully adjustable. There's really no reason for this and it definitely impacts the fit. When I tried it on in store, it fit well enough and was comfy and cheap enough for me to justify the purchase. However, I now have the band on the tightest or second tightest (of 4) hooks because I feel like the band is too loose. When I bought it, I was definitely ... not aware that my ribcage is 28.5 inches, not 30. Before I realized that the straps in the back converted (no one told me this very important fact when I bought it), I had to wear it on the shortest setting. Even then the straps were too long and this effected the fit. The cups gapped up top and I had a lot of empty space. I assumed it was the wrong shape for me or even a size too big. I still wore it, but it was not very supportive nor the best looking fit. Now that I've realized I can convert the straps however, it's a smidge too small! I have breast tissue all the way up to my collar bone it feels like (I am *very* short) and the strap kinda cuts in. The cups are at the same time too wide and not wide enough: the wires are at least .5 inches too wide but the cup cuts into my underarm area leaving lumps of what I assume is breast tissue just chilling out. I get a tiny bit of quad but it's not that noticeable. The best part? I now have cleavage! So, in summary: the straps convert! Just pop those suckers out and cross them over. Big help if they were too long before. The cups-weird. Too wide but also too narrow-could be because it's altogether too small. Band-very stretchy. Comfortably wide but on the second to last/last hooks over a couple of months. Comfort-hella comfy. It gets a 10/10 here. Durability/quality-yes, I machine wash this. My sinks in my dorm won't hold water so I can't handwash very well. I wash it on delicate, in a bag, never machine dry it. I haven't had issues before but on one strap there's a cut-I need to fix it or it'll probably snap. I've never had this issue before. The cups seem relatively shallow, the bottom collapses. Sorry for rambling, but overall if you know you fit into a 32DDD for sure, this is a good bra to buy. Gotta watch out for the quality but overall it's pretty comfy. I wouldn't buy it again but only because the cup's too small and the band's too long/stretchy.

This is a very well made bra, and it fits well enough. I fill the cups well when I scoop and swoop. Major problem is this bra only comes in standard sizes, but the smallest band/biggest cup fits well enough for the money. Pretty and well made, I like that the cups are thick enough for pointy nipples.

I'm 50-50 on this bra. It baaaaasically fits, but there are some tweaky things about it that make it undesirable. Let's break it down:

Pros: Soft, padded straps! AND the back clasp is also covered in a thin, soft padding, and the hook portion is long enough that the hooks don't ever touch my skin, if I wore it on the loosest hooks. It's kind of surprising how little things like that make a bra more pleasant to wear, as if it were some kind of super-genius technology. It's not. It's just soft fabric and padding. I've always found VS to be a bit ahead of the curve on ... things like this, despite their other flaws. Looks-wise, it's an inoffensive black lace bra. I really, really like the back clasps that attach the straps to the bra, allowing for standard or cross-back fit. They aren't just regular little hooks (risky business) but in fact have little pop-n-lock plastic clasps that seem pretty fool-proof. And since I'm one of those people whose pecs/armpits seem to always be irritated by the outer edge of the cups/straps, wearing a bra racer- or cross-back spares me this sort of chafing. So, kudos for the option and the mechanism, VS. Otherwise, pretty much every other part of the look/fit scores a "fine". It's fine.

Cons: I think it's time to face facts with this one. By and large, I don't. like. molded. cup. bras. First of all, I think it'd be much sexier if it weren't opaque lining beneath this fancy lace. More importantly, I just feel like they're so up in my business, trying too hard to change my shape, and more often than not they give me fit issues for it. In this case, since there's a discrepancy between my shape/size and the bra's molded cup, the gore doesn't tack properly. Since the band on this bra (and VS bras in general) is very stretchy, I could probably solve it by going down a band size and up a cup, but OH WAIT. THERE IS NO SMALLER BAND. OR BIGGER CUP. Sorry for the CAPSY, but what the ever-loving-eff Victoria's Secret? I am usually not the biggest-boobed lady in the room, and I'm already at the maximum cup size AND smallest band size?

This is madness. (This is Sparta?) Have we tried to petition VS to expand into the full-bust market yet? Because I'm sooooo tired of trying to half-ass a fit into a bra that would otherwise be fine.

Darn you Vicky!!! I still can't understand why Victoria's Secrets refuses to expand their size range! They're so outdated, and it makes me very sad https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> This is the softest, most comfortable bra I have ever put on my chest!! Unfortunately, it's too small in the cups and a little too loose in the band (even on the tightest hook). The gore doesn't tack, it's not even touching my sternum. It's not completely unwearable, but I will have to keep readjusting throughout the day (pulling the band back down and scooping n swooping).

I love the memory foam lined cups, and the ... fabric is just SUPER soft! It's like a pair of fuzzy socks for your boobs. I'm really bummed this is too small. I'll still wear it though. I just thought it would be a much better fit since my Body unlined Demi fits in a 32DDD. And I really wanted just a plain, simple t-shirt kind of bra, NOT a padded push-up! Oh well, maybe one of these days VS will get with the times and make smaller bands beyond a 32 and larger cups past a DDD!

Love that it is so supportive. It is snug, yet I don't feel as if I'm wearing anything, if that makes sense. Doesn't poke, slide out of place, etc as with other improper sizes.

Updated on Mar 06, 2014 Flag this

This bra is more of my sister size, not even totally that, but it's really comfortable so I wear it when I'm just lying around the house and don't have to be out and about anywhere. The fabric is incredibly soft, definitely no problems with underwire poking.

The first time I wore it, the band felt wayyyy too tight, but after a wear or two it's loosened up a bit. Technically, I believe the cups are too small, but it doesn't seem to give me quad boob and there's no wrinkling at the bottom of the cups. Does VS run big?

Updated on Dec 10, 2013 Flag this

I found this bra to be much bigger than the unlined demi, and although VS says it is "lightly lined" the memory foam padding is very thick. I had some gapping at the top after exhaling a few times. This is very soft and comfortable, but a poor fit, and too padded for me. Also, the ribbon trim and center bow definitely show through clothes.
