The bra is very pretty and sexy. Perfect for the wow effect. I ordered online with a estimate guess of my size and when arrived I thought it was a little small, but maybe was the push up effect. I never knew my true bra size! I never used this bra (besides trying it on) because I never had a special occasion to wear it. Now that I found out that my true bra size is a 38D, I would like to sell it. I bought the bra with a matching garter (size M/L - I can give measurement if requested) and I would like to sell it with the bra. Both are new, unused and in perfect condition!

I liked this bra, but it is too small for me. I like the shape it gave my chest (except for the quadboob that developed). Straps can be converted to racerback.

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.

This bra is a well-constructed bra, it definitely pushes up breast tissue as it should! It is also had a beautiful design- lace overlay and trim, and jeweled straps. The memory foam pads are very soft. My only issue with this bra is that it is in the entirely wrong size for me, and therefore, after two or three wears, I had to lay it away in the dresser. I would also not recommend this bra for women with wide roots, and the wires would not gather the side breast tissue well enough.

This bra is very beautiful, which was why I bought it on impulse even though it didn't quite fit me properly. The band was comfortable when I would first put it on, but because the cups were a bit too narrow for my wide rooted breasts, it would feel a little tight after a few hours. I've heard a lot about Victoria's Secret bras having really stretchy bands, but I don't think this band was overly stretchy. Overall, a great bra, well constructed, but just not my correct size!

I really like the material used in this bra. It's super soft! I love the racerback because it feels more supportive. The clasp in front is easy to use and convenient. I do have slight quadboob on my bigger side but I don't think it'll be an issue. At the end of the day, the bra felt tight under the cups/front of my ribcage. I kept poking at it and lifting it away from my front ribs. By mid day the second time I wore it - I took it off. We will see how it goes from now on.

Not a good fit for narrow breasts. Lots of spillage but comfortable underwire and ogre placement. Definitely not the right size for me anymore.

This bra was fitted for me at VS. I was stupid enough to walk out of the store with it a few weeks ago. I was getting ready to return it when I thought I better get some measurements!
I think this bra it made with high quality fabric and it is very think fabric as well. I would love it they would make this bra in a large size. This bra has under wires that are 11. 75 inches long and a cup depth of 9 inches.
The bra is beautiful neon that has a mesh overlay area. This allows slighter bigger boobs to be contained still, probably not a good reason to buy the bra though.
The bra has clips that let it unsnap like a nursing bra from the back.

I bought this bra because I was off the scale at VS and this was the smallest size they had. The material is so stretchy, that it could feel like it wasn't too small when it really really is.
I just added this bra to enter in the measurements for whoever is interested.
I would not recommend this bra, unless you are genuinely a 32AA, found this for dirt cheap, and don't have any other options.

I bought this beautiful bra at the Semi Annual Sale, and i finally figured out its the Very Sexy Unlined Demi, in the color Nude with Embellishments. To me, it seems much more pink. Unfortunately i assume its being discontinued, because its in the clearance sections. This is my favorite bra of all time!
First off, it''s absolutely GORGEOUS. my pictures do a crap job, but its actually this really soft pinky peach colored mesh all over, with rose lace overlaid on the cups, gore, and band that have brighter pink flowers and stripes. there is also a scattering of embellishments along the lace portion of the cups and ... onto the beginning of the strap- just a few. Its very elegant without being all "bling in your face" like Victoria's Secret tends to do. The straps have a lace trim that tapers down until it meets with an elastic adjustable strap in the back, which attaches back onto the lace and mesh band. on the bottom of the band and the tops of the cups where the lace ends, the lace is scalloped like a trim. the mesh that makes the top bit of the cup is folded over onto itself, so there isn't a seam.
The fit of this bra is so comfortable, its crazy. The parts that touch you are made of the stretchy mesh material, and it's very soft. Because there's no seam on the top edge of the cup, it sits comfortably and doesn't dig- i feel like fuller shapes would find it very accommodating. i fill the cups with no side spillage, even though being a demi means it has lower sides. there's a small sling of the mesh material on the inside of the cup, which may be what helps you stay in- I'm not sure. the gore comes up higher than any other VS bra I've owned, but i find it very comfortable. the only time it bothers me is if I'm doing some crazy moving around and have it on for hours, and i do have a very bony sternum where there's no breast tissue, so perhaps that's why. the band feels snug but breathable, and the straps don't slip on me, although the embellishments keep it from being fully adjustable, which may be a problem for some.
The only issue i have with this bra is that i don't get much help in the shape department. I definitely look better than when i dont have a bra on, since it brings my wide spread out tissue forward, but I look very natural in it, slightly pointed. My breasts are bottom heavy, and this bra doesn't lift them much. I don't have a whole lot of breast tissue, so for someone even moderately fuller than myself, this may mean not getting any support. I'm self conscious about my breast size and prefer at least a lined bra when out in public for the shaping it gives me, so i don't wear this unless I'm going to be keeping my coat on for a quick trip to the store or something. The slightly pointy and low look i get makes me feel too much like im naked! This is also my only unlined bra, so it may not be a bother for someone used to that style.
I would still recommend this bra, because it is incredibly lovely and very comfortable, even if the only purpose it has is as a bra for when you're around the house or running errands. If you like a natural shape, this is probably great for you, and the material feels awesome on the skin. This bra seems designed to look delicate and beautiful, and not so much for every day wear.

despite that this is from my 36C days, i still LOVE this bra. However, this is from when the Fabulous line first came out, and it has since been entirely re worked, including making the band out of that awful super stretchy material used in the Very Sexy line that i HATE. UGH.
Appearance: The pictures lie about the color, its a very true red rose lace, deep and lovely, and it comes just slightly over the top edge of the cup. The cup beneath the lace is pink, as is the cup lining. there are small no-show pleats on the inner portion of the cup, which are harder ... to see in the lace models and don't show under shirts. the tons of red rhinestones along the top of the cup though, do. This doesn't lay flat under shirts, but its fine under thicker things and dresses. the band is also covered in the same red floral lace. There is a small row of 3 rhinestones on a metal piece on the band. The straps are a matching dark red and satiny.so in short, this is beautiful!
Fit: Well, this isn't my right size, and its stretched form wearing it, so the fit is obviously completely off. the band is way too large, and when i scoop into the cups i get serious quad boob. But, it has potential in the right size. the cups are at least higher on the sides than most VS bra, and the band is taller around than normal. the straps are comfy and don't slip or sit too far out for me, plus they attach in a slight "ballet back" instead of right to the straight part of the band, and i think that helps them stay put.
The cup has a creme padding, which is very unique, and warms as you wear it. This is supposed to mean that it can "fill in" to the places where you might be lacking, which is actually does. its not dramatic, but you can take the cup in your hand and smooth it towards the side, top, etc and fix minor issues. i liked it because one breast is slightly smaller, so i could fix some of the gaping. this does mean that the bra isn't comfortable for hot temperatures- for some reason i feel sweaty in it during the summer, I'm guessing because you're warming the cream with your body temp and it doesn't wick away.
The band is what i like most here- its stretchy, but thick enough so it doesn't roll at all no matter how tight i pull it. I wish this material was still what they used because i would get this bra in my right size in a heartbeat https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> When i pull it tight enough , i get some awesome natural looking cleavage(and a little side boob, so sue me)! however, scooping definitely means i overspill. i didn't notice it so much when i was first wearing it, but recently i think I've started to get my tissue migration fixed and as a result there's more breast tissue that needs cup space.
i wish this bra was around to still recommend, because i love it. it came in a million different colors, laces, and embellishments, and it gives a great shape. The new ones just don't work for me because of the heinous band, but if you dont mind them you may find success. i'll invest in a rixie clip and keep this one https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

disclaimer: i bought this set mainly because its ridiculously pretty, plus purple and silver are my favorite colors. i mean have you seen the high waist garter thong? siiiigh <3 i've tired the Very Sexy line in my 34DD before and not liked it, but this one is constructed a bit differently and is more successful, perhaps because its a Limited Edition run.
The cups are mainly a deep purple covered in purple and silver lace, and the top bit is a smooth silver/grey fabric, much like the other Very Sexy bras. The center of the cups, where they would usually attach to the gore, have been cut away ... slightly and attached a little further back. Instead the lace attaches there, as a sort of peak a boo. you can see in my pictures how the lace comes out farther than the cup as it gets closer to the gore. i like this look, and it doesn't seem to affect how it fits compared to other bras in the line. The have the same issue of not coming up high enough on the sides for me and combined with the cup being mostly padding, i tend to need to readjust during the day because i get a small amount of quad boob. But, its a plunge push up, and i can deal with that since this is more of an "occasion" bra. as always, the padding is very plush and the lining is smooth an nice on the skin.
The band here is where i think it differs the most from other Very Sexy bras. First, its purple mesh with an elastic border. i like that more because it seems stiffer than the really stretchy material usually used, although its definitely still got a lot of give. It doesn't support a ton, and it cuts into me slightly after a time because the border rolls into itself, which i get with the Flawless too (although the flawless is more severe). This is most likely a problem experienced by larger cup sizes and plus sized women like myself. Smoother backs may not get the rolling issue.
I do love how tall the band is! Normally, Very Sexy bands are very thin the whole way round. This has a pretty high wing for Victoria's Secret, about 4.5 inches, and that only shortens slightly around the band. But then, it gets reeeally tiny at the clasp again, so it can be that short 2 hook. In Very Sexy, these are especially small- only an inch high! the dramatic change is probably why i get such rolling, and if this had 3 hooks or even more spaced apart 2 hooks, it would probably be perfect.
The grey/silver straps have a slight ballet back, again different from the usual Very Sexy. they attach higher up because of the wider band, and like all Very Sexy bras have the split strap in front that turns into a single. I always hate them- they roll onto themselves and cut me, especially in my right size of a 34DD, where they're sooo wide! This bra design seems less so, proably because the band designed differently and is firmer so they dont take as much of the weight, but its still annoying and bothers my armpits.i would say that is my number one problem with Very Sexy bras.
Overall, this bra wins for me simply because its so pretty. Its a fun time bra more than anything, since i cant wear it under shirts with the embroidery or out for a normal day because i need to readjust. But for a special occasion or when i need some cleavage, this is a go to. Sometimes i just want something pretty and say to heck with fit! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> if you have breasts that arent so wide, you probably wont have the side boob issue like myself, and on a smaller frame who needs less band support i imagine this would look awesome.

this was another one of adventures in 36C's some a year or two ago before i had any idea what was supposed to fit, and obviously being a 34 DD bordering on DDD, it didn't work then and doesn't work now. Its worth noting that this pattern is discontinued, so I'm not sure if any minor differences exists with current models.
Appearance wise, i love this bra. The floral is very muted with pink/red roses and flowers, along with a sort of faded neon yellowy-green rose and leaf pattern. There is a small embellished lace sling along the outer cups that doesn't show under t-shirts, unless they are the ... burnout variety, then you see the sparkle.the entire band is lace, (I'm pretty sure all Dream Angels are) and the straps have the tiniest picot-ish trim. There's also a small neon pink bow on the gore.
The fit is awful, however. This is the size VS put me in, and it was so painful that i literally cannot wear it for more than about 5 minutes...which is just long enough to love it in the fitting room, get it home, and rip all the tags off. I tried wearing it for the first time a few days after i got it, and i actually had to turn around and come home so i could change, ugh. It does give some killer cleavage when i first situate myself in it, but also major quadboob. Most of the cup is taken up with padding, so there inst much room for breast tissue. The center is also very open, since its a plunge style push up. Combine that with the very minimal side coverage, and there be boobies spilling out all over the place! it is set a little wider than Very Sexy bras, so its slightly better for me. sliiightly.
The band is made of lace, something i liked because i knew from purchasing the Lined Demi version of the Dream Angels line that the lace was stiffer, and didn't give me the awful rolling of the Very Sexy. However, it also has very little stretch, which meant that the first few wears were too tight, and then once it got worn, it never snaps back and becomes too large very fast. Even in my proper size, these bands always feel sooo tight when they're lace, like I'm being cut in half. but sizing up doesn't help, because of the "once I'm broken in I'm broken" thing they have going on.
Ultimately, this went back in the drawer until i can sell it off. I hear from many friends that they love the push up this gives, and if someone is truly a 36c or 34c, it probably does work well.

I bought this when i was still figuring out my "right size", and 34Ds seemed to be working better than 36 C. I really am a 34dd, at times DDD/E. This was the closest I had ever gotten to proper fit, or at least I thought so when i was in the fitting room. Unfortunately, this one failed sooo hard. Its a damn shame this doesnt fit, because its very cute. When i tried it on in store, it seemed to fit, and i didnt really do much other than raise and lower my arms to see if it moved at all. once i got it home, i ... had it on for less than a day (of course i took the tags off), and it was awful!
The straps, while topped in very soft material, are thicker and "no slip" on the front half and not stretchy, they only have give on the non decorated back part. so, they tend to pinch and cut into your shoulders if adjusted tight enough, and fall off if not. the cups are soft and the padding is very plush. when i first put myself in it, i love the way i look: great cleavage, almost smooth back, hides under t-shirts. but the band has the same issue that most VS bras have: its meant for comfort, not a snug fit to support your breasts (Although this band is better than the Very Sexy line). So, as i settled in, it rode up, my boobs went out the bottom, and it pinched me in the armpits and cut into my shoulders. if i tighten the band the all the way, it rolls onto itself, makes heinous back fat, and still isnt stiff or strong enough to support. it just feel like a strip of elastic. one of the fitters at VS said i might not be suited to the Body by Victoria line of bras because of my shape, so if they're right, perhaps this just isn't meant for full on bottom, wide breasts.
All that being said, i love the look. the pink and white striped fabric its covered in it smooth and silky, there are little rhinestones on the sides and lace, a tiny lace trim on the cups and straps, siiiigh. I know im never going to wear it, so in the drawer it sits until i can find a way to sell it! It may work better for someone firmer who needs less band support and is more close set- but thats a complete guess. good luck https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This 36c is obviously a few sizes off for me now (at a 34dd), and even when i originally bought it, it wasnt my "true" size. However, for a time, 36c was what i thought i worse, and i owned 3 or 4 of this exact style. This particular blue bra has sat new and unworn, from grabbing it on sale right before i had my "bravelation."
The material itself is smooth and silky and very comfortable, and i love the midnight navy color. the band is very, VERY stretchy, which is probably comfortable for smaller cups, but for me meant it didn't support enough (even in my real ... size) and after one wear is completely a different size. even a wash in icy water didn't help it spring back. if you pull the band tight, it tends to roll onto itself, and still not support. this may only be an issue for fuller but or plus sized ladies like myself; slender bodies may not have an issue with the thickness of the band.
in the correct size it does give me nice rounded, pushed together cleavage, but so much of my tissue escaped from the sides, and as i could never get the band firm enough, i was constantly sliding down under the cups and having to scoop back in. also, the split strap would always roll over itself, resulting in a thin, very digging strap. Again, this is probably also due to how, before i knew how to wear a bra properly, i had to tighten the straps to try and get support.
i would reccomend this for a smaller bust, or someone who likes a looser band. on a true 36 C this may be a much better success!

its tight in the cups, but thats because i should be wearing a larger cup, that being said, i love this bra, the band has stretched slightly (less than an inch) the cup has support lines through it one up from the bottom center that ends just about at my nipple and the other goes horizontally across the nipple. the only negative is the straps are a little far apart for me and that makes them fall off my shoulders
