The material is really smooth and soft and really comfy - this is what I like best about the bra.
The band is a little loose for me, the center gore and cup width a little too wide as well. However, I like the coverage it gives and I think that it would do a decent job if only it fit better.
Really soft and comfortable material, and a really pretty colour too.
It fits ok, but could be better. The underwires fit ok (doesn't poke, is low enough for a petite build) but the cups don't work for me somehow. They wrinkle at the bottom, and the top gives me quadboob effect although it also gives a nice cleavage. The band is really stretchy too, and so rides up easily and rides up a lot.
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.
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!
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.
This bra looks good under t-shirts, and is a smooth, shiny material, lightly lined.
It has a very low center gore, and shaped cups. It is good for close set boobs.
This size 32DD is too small in cups now (since I've gained weight), and is slightly too big in the band (I really need a 30). Because of this, the center gore is not able to be held in place against my sternum, despite the low height of the inside wires.
Since the band is very stretchy, and slightly too big, the underwires tend to slide down and get pressed into my ribcage, as the cups wrinkle. I did not have this problem as much when the cup size fit me better.
**UPDATE AUGUST 2014** After extensive bra-searching and finally finding several Bras That Fit (Fauve 30F Padded Half-Cups and Ewa Michalak 65FF various), not only am I less impressed with the VS fit, but the VS fit IS ACTUALLY WORSE. I think my tissue migrated to the point where the too-large band size can no longer make up for the too-shallow cups. I bulge at the top now. Time to say goodbye. Luckily, I have a MUCH better bra-drobe now; these did the job of getting me through until I found actual fitting bras.
**ORIGINAL REVIEW, JUNE 2014** I love this bra. I know it's not cool to like Victoria's ...Secret in the Bratabase/ABraThatFits world, and I KNOW it doesn't fit. The bras that do fit me well are typically 30F, so the band here is noticeably too large (gore is so, so far from my sternum), and the cups are too small, or they would be if band fit. (VS doesn't make a band smaller than 32.) But full disclosure? I wear this more often than the bras that do fit me. It's just soooo comfy.
The saleswoman at VS recommended this when I disclosed my skin sensitivity issues and lace aversion. She says it's what they typically recommend to people with fabric sensitivities. I don't know if that's true or why it would be (it's made of synthetic nylon), but it seems to be anecdotally true in my case. The fabric and construction are incredibly comfortable to me.
Lightly lined cups, no headlights, seamless under T-shirts. If I could get this in a smaller band and larger cup, I would be so happy.

First of all, this bra is completely the wrong size for me, but I had to have a nice push up in my collection. As a 32DD, the band is made of only slightly stretchy lace, that would suit a 32 or 30 band very well. The cup separation also reflects that. For me since I am a 26 band, (24-25" underbust) I have to alter pretty much every single bra anyways, so I just decided to get this one.
The inside of the bra is very soft, accompanied by very soft push up padding as well. It's really only padded at the bottom (sort of graded upwards) and not at the nipple area, so there is plenty of room for the boobs.
I've reviewed this model here: http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dl98n/ This is a separate entry for the same bra in Champagne. It's a pale nude that disappears well under light-colored shirts.
This has a similar fit to the Body By Victoria Lightly Lined Full/Perfect Coverage Bra. The fabric has slightly less "give" because it's mostly cotton, and is maybe incrementally shallower. The band size is too large for me (I should be a 30, but 32 is the smallest VS currently makes). Gore is laughably far from tacking and even the bottoms of the cups sometimes don't lie against my ribs but instead gap under my breasts. The cups would be too small if the band actually fit; a 30E or 30F would be ideal for me, but try telling that to Victoria's Secret.
Still, I enjoy wearing this bra. ...I find it very comfortable. I have skin sensitivity issues which make synthetic fabrics and especially lace very itchy and uncomfortable for me. This really is my ideal type of bra: a smooth, lace-free, lightly lined T-shirt bra mostly made of soft & breathable cotton. I just wish I could find something like this in my size! Until then, this ill-fitting but super-comfy bra is in my normal rotation.

Flares out and causes "bra lines" through shirts. Reallyreallyreally soft! Pale color actually matches my super pale skin, but the straps constantly lengthen themselves. It's not a huge issue because they don't extend far, just not keeping everything as tight as I'd like.
Fairly comfortable. Gives a lot of cleavage without any padding outside of a thin lining. Not my most comfortable but I don't rush to take it off at night.
This bra is wearable, but not particularly comfortable. The band is very tight. My 32 band barely stretches to 29 inches. The cups seem extra wide and shallow, and the cups sink down either because I have some immediate projection they can't accommodate, or the band is simply too tight. I don't know if a 34 D or 32 DDD would be a better size. I suspect the larger cup would just have super wide wires. I would, however, recommend this bra for shallow breast shapes.
This bra is clearly somewhat small for me, but is currently the best I have. I would say this bra would be good for somewhat with bottom set breasts It has stretched a lot, but I have had it a long time. Overall a good 'basic' bra.
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.
I try to avoid Victoria's Secret now that I know better, but I needed a strapless bra for an event, and a trip to two different Nordstrom's failed to turn up anything that worked for me. I have shallow breasts with a wide root and it seems strapless bras are just not made for the way I'm shaped. Most of them try to enclose too much tissue on the top and the top edge of the cup cuts into my chest and creates a quad-boob, even when there's unfilled space in the cup. I observed that problem with the Freya Deco Shape Moulded Strapless Longline Bra ...(1462) , the Wacoal Red Carpet Convertible (854119) , and the Chantelle Sublime Invisible Strapless Bra (3954) . I also tried on every strapless bra at Victoria's Secret, and this was the only one that even came close to being open enough on the top.
The smallest band available for this bra is 32, so that's what I went with, even though I really need a 30. Even for the first wearing, I had to put it on the tightest hook to keep it from moving around. There's a lot of padding in the cups, which makes them smaller than they "should" be. I also would have gone up a cup size, but DD was the largest that they made, so I went with it because it was still the best fit I'd found.
Anyone trying on this bra might be tempted to go with a smaller cup size to get more of a pushup effect and more cleavage, but I would caution against that. My too-small cups started out ok, but as the evening wore on, the cups were overpowered by my boobs and buckled in the center, causing the top 50% of the cup to spill outward, and I don't even have heavy boobs. Fortunately, my dress had ruching across the top, so nobody could see my weirdly folded bra. I think if I put the straps on this, that would help hold the top of the cup up and keep that from happening, but if I were wearing something where I could wear a bra with straps, I wouldn't be wearing this bra.
As for appearance, this is a fairly attractive bra for a strapless. They put some little pleats on the cups where they meet the center gore, which makes them a little less plain than your standard featureless strapless, but they don't extend out far enough to cause lumps under clothing.
