Best bra!
Excellent bra. I have been wearing this brand and exact style of bras for several years. I’m a 36 C bra, previously a 38 DD before losing 50+ lbs. I’ve never liked being chesty and always look for a non padded bra. This minimizes the size of my chest and smooths out my back in tight tshirts. I never get hot in them and they wash well. The only issue I have ran into in the wires eventually work their way out, but that is fault of my own. You should hang dry any of your bras, but I don’t. With that said, they last a two years or more before that happens. Best thing about this bra is the support. I’ve had 4 children’s and breast fed them all. You can imagine the damage that has done to my chest. Without the bra, they hang pretty low. With the bra, no one can tell and it appears I have a very flattering, perky chest!

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!

The bra I have been looking for!
I had this bra about 20 lbs ago and forgot how much I loved it. Reordered in new size several years later and I love it Just ordered a couple of more. I am 64 a size 38 D and the cups, the band, everything fits great and supports and shapes me perfectly. I had more expensive bras that were okay but didn't quite fit the bill (held me in but still more jiggly than I'd like). This is less expensive and looks and feels great.

Best bra for big boobs—order your usual size!
Or get a couple different sizes to try if you can.I have been wearing this bra for four years and I love it! It offers great support without giving you pointy boobs. It’s not padded and there are no seams on the front. When you get the right size it separates nicely so you don’t get sweaty boobs in the middle. Lol. Because it’s a back smoother the back is a little wider and so it’s more comfortable and doesn’t dig in.Over the last two years. I’ve lost about 100 lbs and so I’ve been going down bra sizes. According to the size chart, (35” ribs, 45” bust) I would be a 40DDD (I’m a 36I in other brands) I know that my current 38H version of this bra was too big in the band and cup so I ordered a 36H. It fits perfectly, the band isn’t riding up in back and I don’t have four boobs. It’s a little snug because it’s new, but I know that it will stretch in the next few weeks. (The reason bras are adjustable is so you can start at the biggest hooks and move in as it stretches. With a 38 band, I would’ve had to start on the smallest band setting and then it would ride up as it stretched out.)These bras hold up pretty well for a few months, but washing them in a lingerie bag will prolong their life. Otherwise the hooks can get caught in dryer and they bend easily. Eventually the underwires start to poke through (in 6-8 months?) but they’ve lasted longer than the LB/Cac- ique backsmoother bras I’ve had.I would given it 5 stars if you could guarantee fit from the size chart and it came in an I cup.

Flattering and comfy
I absolutely love this bra! The minimizing effect is exactly what I was looking for—it smooths everything out and gives a great shape without sacrificing comfort. The fit is supportive and flattering, and it holds up well throughout the day. Highly recommend!

Wire pokes through
This item fit great but after 6 month of normal to light wear, the wire poked through and it is difficult to sew it back in and hold it in after the material frays from the wire. I bought the same kind in a different color several months ago and the fit is not the same, the new one is tighter. So Vanity Fair bras don't hold up as well as other brands and it's disappointing because I liked how this one looked under my clothes.

The best bra if you’re a healthcare worker!
I’ve tried many types of bras in the past, especially when it comes to my job.These bras were recommended to me by my mom. They are fantastic!The straps help me maintain straighter posture (unlike sports bras). There is underwire, but it is very light. No digging in for me (I am 38D). Lightly lined so no need to deal with padding. Material feels good against skin and blends in with clothing. Straps come already adjusted. I will say the first wear is a little snug but it will loosen up over time. Highly recommend if you work 12hr shifts.
