Great multi-way bra, you can change up the straps or go strapless. Very comfortable and basic.

Very comfy, the cups are too far apart for me though

Extremely comfortable and soft on the inside, and the floral pattern on it is beautiful.

How sinful am I to want a push up bra 3-4 band sizes too big for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />? It's actually quite a nice push up bra. The padding is very soft and overall the bra is very comfortable. It's just a bit out of proportion for my frame as far as cup width, separation and strap set. I sewed the cups closer and the straps when I shortened the band, but the wires are still too wide. Regardless, I think its a good 'special occasion' bra for when I need a little extra oomph!
I think it would fit someone who is a true 32DD (maybe even 30E) very well. The band is not terribly stretchy since it is made of lace.

The previous owner said that it had been fairly stretched and that the straps had been shortened by roughly an inch and that the band tends to ride up in the back. These may not be a problem for me because I'm simply using this bra for cosplay ideas/concepts for my girlfriend. If this bra works out, I'll try to post pictures of it in action. If not, I'll re-list it if possible.

This is a very unique bra and i just had to have it!! It has a front closure and the "band" consists of 3 vertical elastic straps, it has a "V" shape in the center of the back with pretty lace. I think its called their "Strappy" or something. Its cute but def digs in after a little bit. But the lift and cleavage are nice. The cups are too small for me but i lile the cleavage it gives.

This bra is super soft and comfy. The padding consists of memory foam and the underwires are hidden so they're nice and cushioned. The cups are too small for me but it gives me amazing cleavage! And the band is nice and tight, very supportive! The material is a shiny satin that i foresee many pulls and picks possibly happening on. Overall, this is a nice push-up, definitely lifts and creates awesome cleavage - the best out of ALL my bras!

I bought this bra as a beautiful but comfy t-shirt bra. The majority of the cup is very smooth so it works under most shirts. The top and sides of the cup have lace and jewels so if your shirt is extremely tight then they might show the texture under a shirt, but otherwise it really works as a t-shirt bra. The band seems to be stretching out to me, but to be fair I have alternated between this bra and one other for the last 2 months because I don't have any others that are close to fitting and can't justify the expense of ... buying other bras for my rotation that also don't fit properly. Pros: absolutely gorgeous, color is light enough that it doesn't show under most light clothing, the fabric is quite comfortable, it's supportive without a block of push up pad in it that would hoist your boobs up to your chin. Cons: I don't think this is a problem with the bra but probably just with the fit because I bought the largest they had in the smallest band size, but the underwire in the cleavage pokes into the bottom of the center of my breasts so the gore couldn't sit flat if it wanted to. I assume this means that the cup is quite a bit too small. The poking isn't uncomfortable but it looks silly. Because the band is not the right size, I find myself having to bend over and pour myself into the bra because I have some spillage underneath throughout the day. And try as I might to pull everything from the middle back into the cup, it just doesn't work. I have a small bit of quad boob on top, but the real problem is the quad boob in the lower center of the cleavage area. I didn't even know this was a thing. My husband doesn't notice it but when I look down I see it in my cleavage. I guess in this area it would be more appropriately called "double cleavage" rather than quad boob, lol.
***Edited the bra measurements because I made a mistake on one of them the first time. Also added more photos showing the problems that I have with the way this particular bra fits (or doesn't fit) my body.

Oh Lord no! 4 kids. 2 from my previous marriage and then 5 years later 2 from this marriage. I may have written that wrong, lol.
Oh that visit to VS was pretty comical. My husband was never a boob man before but since I've had my corrective surgery he is suddenly obsessed. So all of those way too small bras that make you look like Jessica Rabbit, he was wanting to get just for private use lol. Umm, no thank you, lol.
I am wanting to get some bras that fit correctly but I'm kind of paranoid about making that leap and buying online and it not being the right size. This 32DDD is technically too small but before I brought the sales lady in the dressing room I was going to leave with a 32DD. I just didn't realize how they were supposed to fit. That is sad, but I guess most women aren't wearing the right size so most of us don't realize how it really should fit.
I actually found this site when I was searching for how to alter a bra band to shorten it and someone who had a tutorial was raving about all of the knowledgeable ladies here. Now that I'm here I see that there have been many mentions of EBay having options for buying some of the larger sizes at really low prices. I'm "watching" a few bras to see if I can pick up a few options for a decent price. I just have that silly paranoia that paralyzes me when I think about buying something online if I'm not 100% certain of my size. And then bras make it even harder since they aren't uniformly sized. I'm a chicken and a cheapskate at the same time. :)
The suggested starting point size this site gave me was 28G (us) and I know that is just a ballpark guess but I wouldn't know where I could try one on to see how it fits aside from just ordering online.
You're in the US, right? Try Amazon. Free returns and exchanges. It makes the process a bit slow, but you have nothing to lose! On there, you'll be shopping mostly the mid-price British brands (typical range is $30 to 60). Parfait, Curvy Kate, Freya, Cleo, Panache.
A few hints on fit: Cleo often runs particularly tight at least at first, and it also runs a little small in cups as well, so if you find Cleo bras you want to try, I would suggest ordering 28 and 30 bands (so like 28GG and 30G). Freya bands run loose and stretchy, and are more generous in the cup, so you definitely want to start out with 28s there.
Thanks so much, Wendy! That is very helpful! I'm going to give it a try.
Good luck to you! I wore a 32DDD for years, and after my hip surgery last year, decided the pain from wearing what had become apparent was not the right size, in addition to my hip pain, was just too much. I found out I'm actually around a 26J in UK sizes, and my best bras are Comexim in a 55M/N or 60 L/M depending on if the 60s run tight. ( the band sizes on Comexim are based on centimeters) I hope you can find a bra that works for you and makes you feel like a million bucks-we all deserve that! =^__^=
Thanks Eternalheartcreations! Wow! That is a huge band difference! I'm glad you found something that worked better. I still can't believe that all or most stores don't carry all available sizes. I get that they might not sell them often, but geez Louise! At least they could carry 1 or 2 of them just in case they get people that need them. Wishful thinking I suppose. It used to be really hard to find any jeans smaller than a 3/4 when I was in high school and looked like I was from Ethiopia, but then they started carrying them more reliably, so maybe one day the stores will get on board! :)
This is obviously too small for me. I wore it when I was a couple cup sizes down and before my bra epiphany. However it's pretty and it's decent quality, but the lace on the band did rip.

Love the unlined lace demi, very pretty and feminie. The rhinestones on the gore add a nice touch. This bra is pretty comfy and fits almost perfectly. It seems to run a bit smaller than their other styles which is good if you usually wear a band smaller than a 32. It fits nice and snug and doesnt ride up, which usually happens on me with a 32 band. The only thing i don't like about this bra is that it gives me pointy boobs. I only wear for "special" occasions https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

This is one of my favs!!! Its so so pretty! It gives amazing cleavage and really lifts the girls. However, i feel like i am falling out of it! The cups barely cover my nipples. If i cough or sneeze my nipple pops out! Lol. But its very comfy and the band seems to fit a little more snug than the Very Sexy line. I could still use a 30 or 28, but this will have to do in a 32. Its just adorable, i love the lace back!

Love this bra! So pretty! And for some reason, this bra gives me much better lift and cleavage than my black Very Sexy (same style). Could be cuz i wear this one much less and it isn't stretched out like the other. I think a band size down or two would fit perfectly but VS doesn't go beyond a 32, still upset about that. Lol. We're not all "average" sized women. But this bra is pretty comfy and very cute!

Love this bra as an everyday bra. Great for under shirts, the cups on this style are very smooth. It does give a nice lift with ok cleavage. I just wish VS made bras with smaller bands than a 32 https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> It fit great when I first bought it but started off on the tightest hook. So now, after wearing the Bejeezus out of it, it's gotten much looser. I like how the back of the straps can be converted into a criss-cross or a halter. I just feel like the cups don't fit perfectly, may be cuz of the band being too lose. Not sure. Tried the 32DD and it was too small.

I had to alter the size of the straps because they were wayyyyyy too long. The band rides up like crazy in the back, but that's mostly because it's too big in the band for me.

Goodness, 8.5" deep is very small compared to a lot of other 32F (DDD) bras! Do all VS bras run this small? I have never bought bras there as they only carry a limited size range.
Spillage underneath sounds unbelievably annoying. What do you think your true band size is? You look petite in the back, but there are brands that offer 28 bands and even 26. The choice of designs isn't terribly broad, but they're out there, and the prices are comparable to Victoria's Secret.
