I've worn this type of bra every day for 5 years. I got fitted in a Victoria's Secret store and they recommended this in 32C, which I guess was a step closer to my real bra size from the 34B that I used to wear earlier. I love the look of this bra and the soft fabric. The cups are pretty soft, which I liked, although I would have liked more support on the sides. During the past year I got upper back pain from this bra because of the long band (it stretches out really quickly) and that's how I found out about r/abrathatfits and bratabase https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Great for working out and the only brand of sports bra that I ever felt comfortable in. It is comfortable and allowed me to feel more comfortable while working out.
If you enjoy push-up bras with underwire, this is a great bra! It fits true to size and makes ~things~ look nice. It's also a nice light color so it won't show through light-colored shirts.
"What did you learn from this bra?" This bra was the impetus of learning. I'd gotten measured for the very first time and believed it, but it just wasn't comfortable, and it didn't seem to fit right. I dealt with it for a long time -- my measurement was five years ago from VS -- while knowing something wasn't right, so I gave up and switched to sports bras. I learned about scoop & swoop, shallow bras, and where a wire SHOULD be.
"What's good about this bra?" This was the first time I'd ever gotten the gore to tack and it was pretty exciting. There wasn't too much between my ...breasts, digging in, or too little, squishing them together.
"Does it poke, comfortable?" I thought it was normal since every bra did this to me, but the corners of the wire always poked the very edge of my breast under my armpit.
"Did it stretch out?" I didn't wear it enough to know, but time itself didn't stretch it out any.
"Pros/Cons" I feel like someone with a smaller cup size and shallower breasts would do really well with this bra. It's molded, but the cups are super comfortable. I'm not wild about the straps, but that might be poor fit. Read more 96 more words
This bra has semi-adjustable, multi-way straps. I like these straps because instead of having a hook that connects it to the band, it has little clasps. I find that it's much easier to take the straps off and on than having to play around with the hooks. It provides a light push-up and the fabric is very soft and comfortable. It's definitely the softest bra I own! Up for sale due to finding out I wear the wrong size bra!
Victoria's Secret always seems to launch their newer and improved bras around the New Year, and I try to test them all out (thanks to my Angel Forever credit card) to see just how improved they really are. And I will say, this bra is near perfection! It is certainly an improvement for me!
I've only tried the Dream Angels twice - one had too much Lace and Bling I couldn't wear it for practical everyday use, and the other was the wrong size. I actually tried this one on in-store because I fell in love with the color! So pretty, like a dusty rose, or PINK's "Soft ...Begonia." I also purchased the matching thongs https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> But back to the bra! It's like the wires hug my boobs just right, the depth of the cup is perfect and there's no spillage or quadboob. The gore tacks nicely and the band is much tighter than most of my other Vicky bras for a 32! I measured this band at only 24.5"!!! Though the Lace band is rather stretchy, it isn't loose at all. The straps are perfectly placed and it's just super comfy! I even fell asleep wearing it last night! I will definitely be buying more of these. I just don't like all the Lace and bulkiness on most of their models because they definitely show through. This bra is nice and smooth!! I'm trying to amp up my demi collection and do away with the padded push-ups. And this bra will absolutely make the cut! Read more 155 more words
With the new year Victoria's Secret launched some newer and improved models of their Body By Victoria collection. I purchased the Demi and Perfect Shape online and am very pleased with both https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I noticed with both, on these newer versions, that the gore no longer sports the usual keyhole at the center like the older versions. And although the gore still isn't quite tacking with this one, it's still very close to it. I own several of the older Perfect Shape bras from the Body collection and this one just seems sturdier and a bit more supportive (maybe because it's still brand ...new and hasn't been broken in it yet). It also seems to provide just a tad more coverage. And I'm not experiencing any quadboob with this newer version (Yay!). The band feels nice and tight, but I still have to use the tightest setting. The straps aren't fully adjustable but that's ok for me. The placement of the straps is perfect! And I LOVE the shape this bra gives!! I'd say it's a "Perfect Shape!" Though it isn't what you'd consider a proper fit, it works for me! Read more 89 more words
The Body By Victoria Demi is probably one of the closest things to a "proper" fit for me out of all the Vicky bras I own. I noticed they released a newer version this year so I had to give it a try.
I adore this new colorway, "Rose Mauve!" It's like the Victoria's Secret version of PINK's "Soft Begonia." So pretty! The first thing I noticed about this bra was that the gore was different - there is no longer that keyhole in the center of the bra. I don't know why, but it makes all the difference for me, as far as the fit is concerned. ...This bra gets a 10!! I love it! And it fits!! It's like the wires hug my boobs just right, and what dya know? The gore actually tacks!! Hallelujah!! I even added a photo show just how nicely it tacks. The cups are just the right depth/height/width. Of course, the only thing that could make it a TAD better would be if the wires overlapped. But not a deal-breaker. And of course, it's the "Body" so it's super soft and comfy. No quadboob, no major space at the bottom of the cup, no band riding up. My only gripe is the fact that the straps aren't fully adjustable. But it's not really a problem for me. In fact, I had to loosen them a bit because it was pulling the cups up and into my boobs too much.
I seriously love this bra!! Now I have to buy one in every color possible!!! Lol!! Kudos to Victoria's Secret on the new and MUCH improved Body Demi!! Read more 166 more words

This bra is AMAZING. It was the best bra I have ever had in my life. I have very wide-set boobs, and this bra pushed them together and gave me the best cleavage I've ever had. It also gave me great support, and was super comfortable. I am so sad that they discontinued it...If anyone finds a good replacement, please don't hesitate to comment!!!
Hi, You reported that this bra fits you but you're saying that it's too small for you? Which one is it?
