Great for if you have a little more roundness on the top of the breast, wasn't able to fill it as much up top and a little overfilled on bottom.

Not a fancy bra, so appearance is meh. Just a great under the T-shirt bra, just was sized to me wrong.

i normally wear a 30DD or 32D & i had hoped that even tho it would likely be a cup too big, that it would still work for me, since i have super tall roots and since it's stretchy fabric (not molded) that i could pull it off. i wasnt too far off in this case actually. not a terrible fit, cup/size wise. However, the deal breaker for me personally is the cups are too far apart for my close set tissue.

I've worn this bra twice now, both times for a full day at work. And well, I think it's a better fit than I initially thought it might be.
I bought it in the VS semi annual sale for approx 75% off the full price and figured I try it as research. I adore the Body by Victoria lines with the crochet on and am a sucker for a longline so whilst I do love this design the pink citrus colour wouldn't have been my first choice. Until this and my other VS sale purchase I've stuck solely to unlined VS bras which I love and fit ... me well in a 32DD. I'm not usually a big fan of padded/moulded etc bras but they serve a purpose which is to cover my nips at work!
I measure 30.5-31 inches underbust so when trying VS padded bras in the shop I just tend to focus on how loose the band is - noticeably looser than my usual 30 bands. But recently I've been wondering if I'm wearing too tight a band and if a 32 would be be more comfortable/just as comfy so given the cheap price I figure I'd get this, indulge in a pretty design and do some SERIOUS BRA RESEARCH re: sizing. I know otherwise I would be lusting after this bra at full price never knowing if it would work for me, when for a reasonably okay price I could be pleasantly surprised or put this badboy out of my mind and move onto new potential conquests.
So, shockingly this is the first longline I've ever had that doesn't roll up, even when sitting down at my desk for 8 hours people! It's seriously amazing. It's described as a bustier on the website so I wonder if the boning is firmer than what's usually used in a longline (??!), but hey, it does the trick! I love it, it's seriously like a little short yet supportive top! There are three hooks and eye sets so it's still very easy to do up compared to some other longlines I've tried. This is the demi cup shape so it's moderate coverage on the boobs with almost a sweetheart style necklace which is lovely. The cups are lightly lined akin to Freya half cups but with a little more structure to them but no padding as such. The gore is very low to the point where I don't really even notice it coming up between my boobs (although it tacks/sits against my chest as much as I would expect).
Another thing that has surprised me with this bra is that the straps are beautifully narrowly spaced, pretty much every bra I've ever tried had got technically too wide placed straps which results in the always being angled in to stay on my shoulders, but this feels like it's designed for someone with exactly my frame. It wasn't til I clocked this that I reflected how unusual and refreshing this is. The straps themselves are very slim (something I didn't think I was keen on but here it just works) and the same material as the bra itself.
There are clips at the back of each strap so they can be worn crossover which is a cool touch.
The bra is very soft and I wouldn't hesitate to get more if I ever find them at the same price. The band stays in place and although it's probably not as tight as some would encourage (I can pull it at least 2-3 inches out), it's supportive enough for me and does the trick. The very light marks it leaves when I've taken it off also suggest it sits perfectly in my IMF and follows my breast root exactly.
Who would have thought?! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":-D" /> Better than expected definitely.

I am IN LOVE with the back of this bra!!!!! This is the newest PINK bra from their "Date" collection. They all have adorable racerbacks, but this one is so different and cute. I love the rectangular look to it. It's perfect for summer and for showing off https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
If only it fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I knew before I even ordered it that it would probably be too small. But the girls have shrunk a bit so I figured maybe, just maybe I could get away with the DD. Everything on this bra fits perfectly except the ... cup depth, it's definitely too shallow and has a good deal of push-up. If I could just get even an inch more depth and cup height, it would be spot on!! I'm actually really surprised at how tight this band is for a 32!!! When I measured it I had to re-measure a couple more times just to be sure. I would say it's more of a 30 band, which works great for me! Very snug. The width of the cups is perfect, the straps sit nicely since they're Racerback and not too far apart. I love everything about this...except my nipples popping out. Lol. If I don't scoop n swoop, it seems to fit just fine. But I would definitely need to order a size up (32DDD). And YAY for VS finally expanding their size ranges a bit more, esp in their PINK line!! I was shocked to see this bra was even available in a 32DDD! But I was hesitant to get it because they always make their DDD bras with the cups so far apart and super wide. I honestly haven't even bought any bras from VS, or any bras at all for that matter (so not like me), for this exact reason. With the exception of the Very Sexy line, VS bras just aren't doing it for me anymore. And I only bought this bra, like I said, because of the adorable back on it. And I received a VS Gift Card as a gift from a friend. That, and because they were running a special on it with the matching panty. Honestly, trying this bra on only made me wanna go order myself a new EM CHP bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> Where I know I can get the perfect cup depth, cup width, band tightness and even push-up for the same price.

So far the most comfortable overall that I have tried.

This bra is super comfortable and in like-new condition! It's cute but sexy at the same time. It's very cute with open-back tops that would show the sexy black straps on the back. I am selling this (and other bras) because I work at Victoria's Secret and own way too many bras!

Band fit and support is good. Front zip is great for an easy out after a hard workout. Wish it was more fitted at the top and didn't gape as much when I bend over. Also because it is a front zip it can't be tightened as it stretches out over time.

Bought this when I realized I have a small frame and large cup size but didn't know where to go to buy bras that were meant for me, so I bought the smallest band and largest cup I could from a store everyone shopped. If this came in a 28E/F or 30E, that would be amazing because this is so comfortable.

I've been dying to try this bra out!! I have no soft cup bras and was curious how this bra has been working out for others. Sadly, the bra wasn't even added to the Bratabase system yet, let alone with reviews, pics or measurements. So, I decided to add it myself https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
My main concern with this bra was the limited size range (as always). I was concerned that the 32DD would be entirely too small, and this bra isn't available in the DDD. But, much to my surprise, the fit is pretty decent! I'm getting just the slightest touch of quad boob ... but it isn't even noticeable under a shirt. In fact, it gives a very nice shape without the added bulkiness of a padded bra. I'm not spilling out in the center, nor are my nipples popping out (never good). The band is quite snug so it's not riding up. The straps, however, are not at all adjustable!! But this wasn't a problem for me. Maybe the fact that it's a racerback is helping with that. And for being a soft cup bra, with no underwire, it felt rather supportive. It almost reminds me more of a sports bra than anything else. This bra is part of the "Body By Victoria" collection so it is unbelievably soft and comfy!!! And I LOVE the "Angel Pink" colorway...so soft-looking and pretty.
This will make a perfect summer bra since it's so light and breathable. It's so light, in fact, it almost feels cheaply made and the material is pretty flimsy. But this is the perfect bra for layering with a cute tank. It was a bit awkward to get on and take off, since you have to pull it over your head. But once it was on it stayed put and in place. I would def recommend this bra, for lounging or to show off https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

I purchased 2 of these T-shirt "Perfect Shape" bras in-store; a 32DDD and a 32DD because they had more fun, bright colors in that size. All they had available in the DDD were the basics - black, white and nude, as usual. The sales girl explained to me why that is and said they only receive very few of the larger sizes and they go quickly. But it takes about 2-3 weeks to order and receive more. But she also said that the DD would probably fit much nicer than expected because of the fuller coverage cut and shape of this particular bra. And I was reluctant to ... try it but she insisted and brought one with me to the fitting room. It was a much better fit than I expected.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this colorway!!! I bought the DD in the "Bon Voyage" Blue Marble with matching lace briefs...OMG! Adorable! The bikini briefs are so cute in a see-thru leopard lace with the contrasting color on the band around the waist and legs. BUT...enough with the aesthetics and onto the good stuff.
Although the DD is too small for me, I feel like it looks better on than the DDD. I'm def getting some quad boob, but everything else about this bra seems perfect. The wire width is just right, the strap placement is perfect, the lift and cleavage are great! I thought the T-shirt bra had a bit more padding, but it was a little less than what I was expecting. I also have the Body By Victoria Perfect Shape in a 32DDD and I feel like that has a tad more padding. But isn't nearly as soft as this bra. The other Perfect Shape from the Body collection is much firmer, but softer to the touch. The padding on this seems pretty similar to the padding in the Uplift Semi Demi. I also noticed a difference in the band. It seems rather stretchy in the T-shirt bra. And another thing I noticed that I thought was a major inconsistency was the difference in band length between the 32DD and DDD. You would think they'd be the same since they're both a 32....but, alas, they are not. Lol. Which makes no sense to me. A 32 is a 32 is a 32....regardless of cup size! The DDD measured a whole inch longer than the DD. Why is this Victoria's Secret? Another reason I lean towards the DD more frequently. I've noticed this with ALL of their bras! The gore seems to be pretty comfy in the DD but a bit bothersome in the DDD because of the wider cups, and they dig into my cleavage. The gore doesn't even come close to tacking on either.
Still, I think the T-shirt "Perfect Shape" bra gives a really nice, "perfect" shape. I love all the fun colors for this season!! I just wish there were more available for larger cup sizes in store instead of always having to buy online and pay extra for shipping.
UPDATE: So I decided to give this bra ONE LAST try...I just love the color on this and really don't wanna part with it. Lol. I loosened the straps a pretty good amount and voila! Perfectly comfortable, no quad boob and stayed in place ALL day AND night! And looked MUCH better under my shirt https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I'm def hanging onto it...in fact, I bought another in the Purple/Pink colorway https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I've just recently started working out and realized I had ZERO sports bras!! Other than my Coobie seamless bras, I literally had nothing. And I LOVE my Coobie bras, but they aren't exactly the most ideal for holding the girls in in way of support. I needed something a little more supportive and something to keep the bouncing and jiggling to a minimum. Lol. I decided to give this sports bra a try since one, it was a really good deal, and two, I LOVE my regular Incredibles (both push-up AND Demi!).
I was hoping to find this in a DDD but it was way too expensive. And ... I also figured the DD would be a bit tighter and hold the girls in a little better. And it def does...IF, and only if, you can get the damn thing on! Lol! It took me a good 15 minutes just to zipper this thing up! Holy frustration!! What a project! The fact that I also have mild to moderate arthritis in my dominant right hand wasn't helping matters at all. I almost gave up and was about to chuck this thing halfway across the room when I FINALLY got the zipper up!! It just kept popping back out before I could even grab a hold of the zipper to zip it up. BUT...once I defeated the zipper battle, it was well worth it. It's def snug and holds the girls in place, also while giving a nice lifted shape. Very supportive. I'm not so sure I would've gotten as snug of a fit with the DDD. And this bra was actually rather comfortable. It fit perfectly. When I scooped n swooped I got some digging in, but I guess that was kind of expected. I LOVE the thicker adjustable straps and the racerback - perfect for a good, upbeat, fast-paced workout https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I also purchased the Ultimate Sports Bra in a 32DDD, waiting for it to arrive to see which one I like better https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

Great build. The outer edges of the cups do not bend backwards or show through t shirt.

This bra is sexy, but gives me clown boobs.
I'm keeping it as a bedroom set, but I'm not too keen on wearing it out.
I did one time, and my boobs looked super ridiculous for my frame.
Shame, as the strappy back could make for a great addition to an outfit.
The cups run wide, shallow due to pushup padding (thick), and far apart. Not a good match for me, but still a gorgeous bra.
EDIT:
FYI on the band: I couldn't add that it was 15" unstretched, but it is. This bra was extremely difficult to measure, being a front-close bra. It stretches enough to fit a 29-30' ribcage, if not 32', but I couldn't get it to stretch any further for the measurement. I'm all sorts of confused.
