This bra is definitely the wrong size for me- 6 inches too big in the band and 2 or 3 cup sizes too small. On the plus side, the material is very, very soft and smooth. It is totally seamless, and the underwire channels are padded comfortably. This bra definitely won't show under a shirt.
The straps are supposed to be "self-adjusting," but for me, this amounts to them just being too long. It's nice that the band has three rows of hooks. The underwire is not very long (it's more like a plunge than a demi), and therefore the gore and sides don't come up high enough to support me.
It is the most comfortable bra I own even though it doesn't fit me quite right. It's a great shape for my boobs and looks fine under clothes. It's the only bra I currently own in which the cups are far enough apart to keep the edges of the cups from wrinkling.
I love this bra, and I was really sad when I realized that it just doesn't fit me. The color is cute and I love the dual-mini straps. They look flirty and sexy poking out of a tank top. Unfortunately it doesn't fit me well at all. While I don't fill the cups entirely, the edges of the cups also bend outwards, meaning the outline is visible under most clothing. The underwires also do not lay flat against my ribs; underneath the cup they bend outwards as well.
This bra is gorgeous but just doesn't fit my breast shape and is too big for me. The gores are too close together which causes rippling in the edge of the cup, as well as in lace that comes over the edge. The bra came with a little metal heart underneath the bow in the center but I cut it off because it was visible underneath fabric. Great if you're just wearing it for lingerie but not for daily wear.
As for comfort, it's fine but not fabulous. Because the cups don't lay flat against my boobs I have tightened the straps shorter than I would like and they dig into me.
Bought this one back when I was figuring out my size. I went from a 32A to a 30B, thinking that was the right size. The cups have space for about half my breast. Wearing this brings me the closest I have ever come to literally falling out of a bra.
Cute print, has the option of wearing as a racerback, but overall way too small. One hook closure in the back. Small bump pad in the bottom of the cup.
This is the cutest bra. I bought it at the semi-annual sale in January of 2010 and wore it faithfully, constantly, for more than two years. I knew when I bought it that it was the wrong size - I was a 30C at that time - but it was a sister size then, and I loved it just the same. It was wonderful for my cleavage, in my favorite lingerie colors, and super comfortable. It isn't made anymore - the Body By Victoria collection has different Demi bras now - but I would go back and buy it again in a more accurate sister size if I could. It has worn very well over the years, and isn't bent out of shape or destroyed in any way.
Although this bra is the wrong size for me, it would be very functional and attractive for the right person. The lace detail means that it works best under thicker clothing.
This bra is left over from the time right after I had my twins - the girls were oversized at the time and this bra was quite comfortable. At this point, it is a smudge too big in the cups and the band is way too large. However, for the right woman, this would be a great t-shirt bra.
This bra actually looks way too small in the cups for you. If you hold the underwires against your body all the way around, and use your other hand to pull all of the breast tissue - even that from under the arm pits - into the cups/underwire, I'd bet you didn't fit into the cups of this bra.
If you reread my review, you'll see that I said I had this bra from when I was breastfeeding my twins. The cups did fit me then - must have been 45" around. When I threw it on this past January, I'd lost about an inch and a half off my bust. I donated it soon after I took the pictures. :)
Overall, I find the Body by Victoria bra to be pretty comfortable. I like the shape I have when I wear them - I prefer a rounded over pointed appearance. My only problem with the bra is that the back tends to ride up and occasionally I will find the girls slipping out of the underwire underneath, but that is likely because I am not wearing the right size. If you are properly fitted, I think this is a great everyday t-shirt bra.
I bought this bra before I measured myself. I was wearing a 38C at the time but felt I could go up a cup size, but definitely not to a DD. It was on sale for $15.
The bra itself is beautiful and soft. I had what I thought was massive cleavage, but in reality it was just massive quad-boobing. Using the swoop-and-scoop method, my nipples are completely out of the bra.
Also, although the band is a 38, I could very easily stretch the band in the back a good arms length away from my body while wearing it. As I measure at a 38-38.5, the band should never have stretched that far.
While the bra is so damn cute, it doesn't fit. It never fit.
There is -alot- of padding in this bra. It's good for special occasions, but definitely not an everyday wear. It makes the bust look very large... obviously since it adds 2 cups! The nice thing is if the cups are too far apart, the center can be twisted to bring them closer. When I purchased this bra, I knew that the band would be too big, unfortunately I already altered it before I had a chance to put it in Bratabase.
I would definitely recommend one of these in every smaller chested girl's wardrobe to help fill out a fancy dress, or if a nice cleavage is desired for a V neck.

What can I say, I needed a bra and my mall has limited choices. The band is obviously too large and the cups too small, but it does the job when my other bras are dirty.
beautiful bra, stunning actually. the lace is soft and pretty, looks much more expensive than it is. shapes wonderfully without padding and prevents any show through. band is nice and tight. unfortunately very clearly not my size.
this is easily the most comfortable and best looking of all the bras i have that don't fit. i think this is partially because of the super soft stretchy material. it doesn't wear very well however. the fabric becomes discolored and pills. i love this bra despite myself and despite the fact that it doesn't really fit me at all.
