Band is on the big side because of the stretch. I wear it on the tightest. Cup is slightly wide for me but doesnt have left over fabric on the side. Cup cuts into my breast tissue as usual but a bit more than my other bras probably because of the gel pads. Even tho it give me quad boob effect i decided to keep it because its a fun bra and makes cleavage i want every now and then.
Update. I tried it on w/o the gel pads and it gives a littles less quad boob effect but still makes the cleavage i want. Decided to wear w/o the gel pads.
It's too small! I wore it for a while before I realized this. It doesn't really poke, but it makes me look like a sausage. The straps are elastic-ey on the outsides so they dig in and make me look rolley. My boobs spill out over the top. In the few months I bought it and regularly washed it on delicate, it got all ball-y! Definitely not worth the money. :/
I LOVE this bra, I wish they made size 30 bands! When I first bought it the band fit good, but after stretching, is too big. Cups are PERFECT fit for me tho, and very comfortable. I can wear it every day for long time periods, no digging, poking, etc. It's beautiful too. My only complaint is really about the entire VS brand, they don't have a large enough variety of sizes, they should expand to smaller bands and bigger cup choices.
This bra does not fit me, but it is my "pretty bra" its quite cute, but give me awful quad boob and my boobs just do not sit right in the cup. They fall out and the band rides up and the underwires do not lay flat. I am constantly re-adjusting in this one.
A larger sister size of mine, so it does not fit 100%. This runs a little smaller than most 32 sized bands. And I took in the center front so instead of it measuring 1" as I have it listed, it measures .75". The cups on this have some padding - not to be confused with the "Perfect One Padded" bra, or the Demi style. Also this one is no longer available on the VS website. The padding is in a weird spot though, it's at the top of the cup where the straps meet. This is more meant for someone with shallow breasts who can't fill out ...their size, because it's a bit tight in the cup for me. The bottom of the cup is a lightly lined material, not padded, but it is kind of on the stiff side, 3/16" thick. Then it gradually gets thicker at the center, 1/4" thick, and thicker at the top, 3/8" thick.
The straps are comfortable, they have some foam in them. So the support that you're not getting from the band gets put on the straps, but it's not that bad since they're cushioned. Read more 84 more words
I don't want to like this bra, but it really does fit like a dream under t-shirts. I look bigger than I like, however, and a 32 band would be great, but this is a great attention-getting bra.
I hate this bra, though I find it sad as it used to be my very favorite. I will never return to Victoria's Secret again! Ever! It is really not necessarily the bras that I dislike, but the poorly trained staff. If I'm buying a bra from you, I prefer and expect that I'm being professionally fitted (especially if that is your specialty). I've always had big boobs, but no one in my family did, and as such they couldn't teach me about bras. After high school (when my boobs were still perky) I went to VS for a fitting. The verdict: 36D....Wrong, wrong, wrong....And it took 4+ ...years for someone to point out to me that my bra was too big and didn't seem to fit! But it doesn't stop there...I requested to be fit at least a couple times a year, and at several locations in several states...Michigan, Arkansas and several stores in Mississippi. The staff at every store told me 36D. The bands never fit me, never provided support, the straps didn't fit, ect. And it is not a case of me losing weight and going down to a 34 inch waist band...in fact, I had gained at least 10 pounds between freshman year at college and finally being fitted at a reliable department store, in the company of my future mother-in-law. It may not be a fair statement, but I blame a lot of my early sag on not being fitted correctly and therefore not having a bra that fit. So, over the years I have spent 100's of bucks at Victoria's Secret just to acquire a nice case of early boob sag. I'm rating these bras "poor" across the board because quality of service was crap, the bras were comfortable until I got a bra that actually fit (the contrast was not apparent before) and the poorly fitting bras never really looked great. My bf pointed this out to me but I really thought that it was a problem with my boobs! Also on quality, I have two of these exact bras (different colors) and the cups on each bra fit completely differently. Read more 251 more words
This bra feels nice and soft against the skin - I like that about it. If my boobs stayed put, it might provide some nice cleavage. The straps don't fall down. I think it did stretch out pretty fast, though, which isn't cool, because the band is already way too large for me.
This bra fits me so horribly that it's hard to find good things to say about it. It's just totally the wrong size for me. The lace is a bit itchy, but not too bad.
I could not find the Body By Victoria Full Coverage in the drop down menu, and it would not let me create a new style even though it said it did (?), so I may or may not have selected the right style for this. But mine is the FULL COVERAGE #506721.
This bra has been altered in the band and the new measurements are as follows:
Stretched Band - 27" Band - 22" Cup Width - 6" Cup Depth - 9" Cup Seperation - 7/8" Wire Length - 8.75"
This is one of my most comfortable bras! The fabric is microfiber (tag lists content as 84% Nylon, 16% Lycra Spandex). Again, it's a t-shirt bra ...so it doesn't give great lift in the cup, nor does it give cleavage because it is a full coverage, but I like it way better than my Freya and Panache t-shirt styles! This bra is nearly 4 years old (from the 08/2007 collection) and it's still holding up great! Another good thing about this bra, which is something Victoria's Secret does not do too often and seem to be getting rid of, is that this is a full band style bra, making the support in it even better. I've noticed lately their full coverage styles only have a partial band. Too bad I didn't buy more of these at the time... Read more 112 more words
Although the band was too long and the cups set too far apart, I really like this bra. I adjust the band so it is now 63 cm long (maybe more of a 32DD now?) and I sewed the center goring so that the cups aren't set so far apart. It fits pretty well now. I was surprised that the DD sized cups fit, but they did. Not a bad bra, just needed some adjustments to fit me.
I have altered the band smaller on this and the measurements for it now are as follows:
Stretched Band - 28" Band - 23" Cup Width - 6" Cup Depth - 8.5" Wire Length - 8.5" Cup Seperation - .75"
Since this is a Demi style, the cups are on the smaller (or shorter) side so they're a little small for me. I love the fabric on this bra, it's smooth and soft. Also, I've owned this for 3 years and it still feels like new, the quality is a lot higher than certain European bras in my stash. I would wear it more often but because it's a t-shirt style it gives a flatter look.
One problem with this bra (and also with the Full Coverage style) is the straps are extremely long and not fully adjustable. You will see it in the photos, but I have actually pulled the adjuster over the non-adjustable part of the strap, by 1.75".
I have not altered these yet, so the bands are fairly loose on me. I tend to tighten the straps a lot just so I can get some lift in the cup, but it causes a lot of pain in my neck so I try not to wear these as often. The one good thing about these bras is that they give a great shape in the cup. They are not padded, but have a thin molded (lightly lined) cup. Show through is very obvious in the beige one since it doesn't have that lace overlay (that gives you an idea how thin these are). I wish they ...didn't have a lace band because I notice it's a bit stretchier than just regular Lycra fabric, but they are pretty. I have worn the beige one more than the other two and I already notice the band is about 1" larger, so the lace fabric in the band is not holding up as good as other bras from VS.
The two lace styles are style #219-061, and the beige style is #216-025, purchased 08/2010. Read more 74 more words
This version of the Full Coverage Cotton bra is no longer carried at Victoria's Secret. Purchased in 2007, the straps are not fully adjustable, and the cups fit better and have a rounder shape - compared to the style they have now with different shaped foam, different fabric content and fully adjustable, narrower straps. I prefer the 2007 version =)
The band has been altered and the measurements are as follows:
Stretched Band - 28" Band - 23" Cup Width - 6" Cup Depth - 8.5" Cup Seperation - 1" Wire Length - 8.75"
I'd like this better if it had a full band, but this, as well as the BBV Full Coverage, are my two most comfortable, and also most worn bras. The gray one had a minor accident with some bleach (attempted fix with fabric marker, but it didn't hold). The black and white dot one is actually a tad smaller than the gray one in the cup depth by almost 3/8" so I don't wear it as often.
This was the bra size that the ladies at Victoria's Secret put me in. I imagine that this bra would quite comfortable if it actually fit me. I do like the design since demi cups suit my shape really well. The material is nice and smooth, which is something that I really appreciate in a bra. I also like the subtle, but graduated padding over the nipple area. The band is just too big for my petite frame and the cups are too small.
A nice, comfy everyday bra by Victoria's Secret. Especially liked the cotton lining and the wide straps. Just so-so on support, because the band is very, very stretchy (see measurements). Like most VS bras, this one is usually available in a staggering array of colors and prints.
Love the cotton fabric and comfort of this bra. The cups seem to run a little small. The foam lining is a bit thick (about 1/4"), so it is more like padding. The range of colors and prints available is staggering. Unfortunately this bra offers practically nothing in the way of support, because the band is way too stretchy and the cups are triangle shaped. I wear it when everything else is in the laundry!
Purchased late winter 2010 from Victoria's Secret.
