Best bra in decades, maybe ever!
The quality, comfort, and look of this bra is superior to any bra I’ve had in decades, regardless of price. Perhaps ever. I purchased it initially because of the price, just to see how a minimizer fit. I wear a 38DDD and have wanted a less matronly look. For years I’ve paid no less than $75 for a decent bra, even on eBay. I had readied myself for a long ordeal trying different minimizing bras. This is the second one I’ve tried and hallelujah I can stop! It is so comfortable I am excited about wearing it every day, all day long. It does not move. The support is firm, my breasts stay in place until I take it off. The construction and quality is remarkable, solidly crafted, substantial yet breathable materials, super soft. The underwire does not dig or gouge. The straps do not bind or move. I’ve worn it indoors, working, relaxing, and in extreme outdoor heat. Still the same comfort level. My silhouette is more streamlined. From the front the look is ever so slightly wider but not enough to matter. I look slimmer, less frumpy and lumpy. Even my décolleté is smoother, less wrinkled due to proper and quality support. And the band smooths my back beautifully! This is the best fitting, best looking bra under clothes I’ve had in my life. I am floored, I tell you! For women with large breasts, a quality, supportive, and comfortable bra is the holy grail. This is IT! At least try it. My bet is you’ll be as sold as I am. And just so you know, no one is paying me to say anything. I’m just trying to help those like me who have been through the nightmare of bra searching.

Honest review from a struggling 38DDD girl
Most of my life I have had huge chest, and I hate it. I’m too scared for cosmetic surgery so I feel like I have been on an absolute MISSION for the right bra (minimizing, doesn’t hurt under boob / shoulders, doesn’t roll under the under boob, doesn’t create uni boob)I’ve tried dozens of bras of all types and all prices so let me tell you my exact thoughts.Here’s my complete review:Feel: This bra is comfortable and soft, it feels like butter on your skin and the underwire isn’t too harsh or hurts. The straps don’t hurt your shoulders. It feels high quality.Wear: this wears true to size! IT ACTUALLY DOES MINIMIZE (photos attached first set of photos I’m wearing a regular vanity fair bra not advertised for minimizing in 38DDD (photos labeled) - compared to me wearing the minimizing bra (also 38DDD) with the same shirt on (excuse the dog hair, I can’t help it with a 100lb Saint Bernard lol) I also purposely wore a shirt cut to emphasis boobs. I love the way it makes my boobs look drastically smaller. In person my boobs look a couple sizes smaller.My boobs do not spill out of the bra. The bra doesn’t roll itself into the under boob area.My boobs also do not create a uni boob throughout the day and the bra wears the same and comfortable, it doesn’t leave marks on the skin and i don’t become aware of it on my body. The bra easily adjusts and straps.I absolutely love how this bra wears especially because it has underwire and if you’re anything like me, underwire is the devil. The underwire on this bra is not uncomfortable at all. Because of the underwire it doesn’t create the annoying rolling some bras do to the under part of your boobs. I don’t have crazy uncomfortable suffocating cleavage. It’s excellent. I have no bad thoughts or reactions to this bra and that is incredibly rare for me. I absolutely love itWashing it: MUST WASH THIS IN A BRA BAG AND BY ITSELF. I have learned many lessons and ruined many bras by washing them with other things. Bras can mishape and deform if you wash them roughly. If you want to preserve this bra and it’s entirety just wash it separately and on a gentle setting (or even by hand)That being said, it doesn’t get ruined if washed properly.10/10 HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. These bras will be my holy grail forever - you’re welcome!

8/10, but personal fit is critical
I'm 5', 165 lbs. It's too much weight on a small frame. I've been squeezing myself into a 40DD for years and finally realized perhaps all my bras have become uncomfortable because I need to explore more of the alphabet. So I got out a tape measure. Band (under bust) is 37 and bust is 44. I bought a 38DDD and a 38G, not being sure how to account for the inch lost by sizing up the band.First reaction when the bras came - that's a lot of material! I'm used to minimalist bras (Wacoal Halo is a go-to) and these are not that. But, I do need more back coverage these days so I tried not to be put off. Second observation - I love the material: two layers of thick stretch material, no padding. I can't stand molded bras with foam because they make me look huge - I have a set of liners I add to my bra if I'm wearing a smooth solid in which air conditioning might cause a problem.Tried the 38G first. Band is a great fit. Cups are a great fit. The only downside is that the bra is cut a bit too wide for my petite frame: the sides of the bra cut in under my arms, and the straps are set too wide on my chest (they come up over my shoulders at a slight angle, instead of straight up.) The edges are super soft so it's not cutting me, but I can feel the bra in places I shouldn't.So I tried the 38DDD. I immediately noticed that the cups are set closer together - this one fits my frame. But the cups are too small, even with the straps fully extended. No separation. But it was soon comfortable that I threw on a t-shirt to see if I could make it work. Very unflattering- smoothed me across the front. So people here who don't like the minimizing effects may be wearing the wrong size.I'm keeping them, because I like the lines (or lack thereof) of the G under clothes, and the DDD is very comfortable for around the house. And they were inexpensive.All this to say, this is a great bra, but getting the right fit will require experimentation, and it might not be possible if you, like me, have a big chest on a narrow frame.
