CortlandIntimates Long Line Back Support Soft Cup Bra,Black,48DDD

I have Scoliosis and several ruptured discs in my neck and my back. I also have a lot of pain. This bra is a very great product, and helps keep me straight up and helps with the pain I experience not as bad. I recommend this product for anyone with problems with any of thses issues. I bought 2, in different colors and may even buy another one.UPDATE: POOR QUALITY. Lace material on cup's made everything I wore look horrible-it was never a smooth look and only got worse. Part of it came apart and disintegrated, and the elastic throughout the entire bra disintegrated. IT'S not worth the purchase, don't waste your time, it does not last long at all! I had purchased 2 -- they are Horrible bra's!

This is the first bra of this kind that I've ever ordered. I was searching for a bra or something I could wear that would encourage better posture and that I could wear under my clothes. My thought when taking it out of the box was that it looked like a cross between a sexy bra and a grandmother's bra. I didn't care one way or another as long as it made me sit up straight. I put it on (It's not a throw on real quick type of bra, it takes a second to do up all those clasps) and noticed that your nips definitely show through and there's nothing in the way of padding there. It's only lace material. So there's that. I wore it all day long under my uniform and it did encourage me to sit up straight as it's kind of uncomfortable to slouch in this bra. The only thing that's annoying is that (for me) the bottom portion of it (probably the bottom inch) curls up throughout the day as you sit and move around. I did find myself uncurling it, flattening and pulling it down but then it curled/folded up again. Maybe it's just me though. Overall, I like it and I will continue to wear it. If I keep liking it then i'll probably order another one.

The plastic stays along the sides of the bra worked themselves out of the poorly sewn encasings they were in and this was after the first few washings...the encasings themselves were of inferior material. The same thing happened with all three of the bras. If it were not for this fashion malfunction, I probably would have written a favorable review. Although they fit perfectly in the beginning, all three lost their fit after the stays started coming out and the bra began to roll up at the bottom. I am very disappointed in the bras. I bought three of them in different colors. It was a waste of my money and I didn't even have them for a full year.

Bought this in a 42DD. The fit was accurate. However, the longline was about a quarter inch too long for my preferences, and the shape of the cup is very unnatural. If you like the 1950's look, when torpedo shaped cups were in, then you'll like this. The cups separate your breasts, and give them a pointy look. I'm fine with separating them, but I like my bras to provide a natural shape. Also, the lace on the cups was thin. Although I didn't get to test it out, I don't think the cups will do much to hide your nipples if they harden at any point, which would be embarrassing at work. I did not wear it long enough to provide very much feedback on back support. It did feel good on my back for the 2 minutes I had it on. In retrospect, the straps were not very comfy, but I didn't pay that much attention when I tried it on, since I automatically ignore discomfort in bras as long as it's mild. I tend to prefer thin straps on my bras. Wide straps are supposed to be more comfortable, but I usually find it more irritating and have to frequently adjust.

AH....Finally, a fit the 1st time around! Once again, I followed the advice of the other customers and ordered one size up, and I am so happy that I did. I normally wear a 38 DDD; however, it would have been too tight. So I ordered a size 40DDD, and it fits very well.I love everything about this bra! From the lacy cups to the back support. Some customers felt the cups make you look like torpedos, but I'm happy with the look. When you're a DDD, no one seems to notice the shape. :)I would lIke Amazon to carry more Cortland styles in my size. I'm sold on the Cort land bra.

I simply love the supprt this longline Bra is giving me. It's giving me that push up effect. I'm certainly glad that I got my exact size. The girls are really perky. It certainly is not rolling up while sitting at my desk. It holds so well. I'm now looking forward to my high waited girdle to arrive so that I can have that bodysuit effect. Very comfortable and a Good Bra.

I absolutely love this bra. I can wear it all day long and never have to pull and tug or readjust it. I had a breast reduction last year and I had not been able to find a bra that is comfortable. I do have back problems, and this back support is also outstanding. I bought 4 of these. I do wash them out by hand and hang them up to drip dry, because I do not want those seams bending and getting messed up from my washer/dryer. I know getting a bra to fit properly is a very individual thing, but this one far surpassed my expectations. Would highly recommend it.

Love this long line bra! This bra is so comfortable to wear the whole day at work, because provide me a little back support and I don't need to wear a tank top underneath the clothes, so this is the thing I really appreciate. How about the size? My measures are 38.5" bust and 30-31" waist, so I've opted for my regular size 36 C and it's true to size. Is a little pointy look compared to other bra, but as a vintage style woman suits my style perfectly. Definitely recommended to buy!

i ordered this and althoug the make and quality are good the description is wrong ,i ordered a front fastening as described and received a back fastening

Thanks
