I ordered the black in size LARGE (NOTTHE PLUS SIZE ONE) because the size chart indicated that my normal size 36D fell under the Large category. I had a feeling it was going to be too big around the band and it was. The cup size felt great and the fact that it has no underwire, yet gives such great lift is wonderful after wearing underwire almost my entire life. The only part that was large was around the band, I had to put it in the 3rd set of hooks and probably could have gone to the 4th set. I am a young, shapely 68 year old and not a very big person, 119 pounds and 5'4" so I don't need that much overlap in the back. I am returning the Large for a Medium which will be here Wednesday. I think this is going to be a great bra for me, love the material and let's hope the Medium works out. I will report back on this but in my opinion these bras overall run slightly large and they might need to tweak the sizing chart a bit for those of us who are not large individuals who just have a large set of girls!! LOL!! *Reporting back on the Medium Size: The medium came today and I was able to put it in the first from the end set of hooks but the cup size in the medium was TOO small as I am a FULL D cup so as I expected the medium might not accommodate cup wise. I asked my husband and he said, "They look flat"...and that is right. Me trying to cram my full D girls into the size medium cup was like me trying to wear a C cup and there is no way. So I am sending back the MEDIUM and re-ordering the LARGE again because it did fit well with the exception of me having to put it in the 3rd set of hooks which I guess that is just how it is going to be and I will adjust. So at this time I am just re-ordering size LARGE bra and see how I do with it. I think it will be fine and I will get used to the overlap to the 3rd hook on the band! Wish me luck!

I have a hard time finding bras , I normally think of them as torture devices made by men to make me miserable. I have purchased roughly 50 bras in the last 1-2 years to find one that is comfortable and I don’t have to do a bathroom run so I can adjust everything upstairs a few times a day. I quit getting hopeful. A few years ago I found the IT bra but of course, they quit making that style. The only place to purchase it was on QVC and with 3000+ reviews begging them to bring it back, nope.I thought, hell I’ll try it, can’t be any worse than what I have already bought.I received them (always buy two in case it’s “THE ONE”) (I guess I still hold out hope,lol)I try it on and after adjusting the straps and the closure in the back, it’s “ok”. Then I noticed they send a bra extender, (GAME CHANGER) I didn’t think much of it at first but I wasn’t quite comfortable so I wasn’t impressed. I felt like it would come off my shoulders, remember torture device, stuffed sausage, just not comfy. Then I noticed I could cross the straps, (I have horrible back and neck problems, tension, aching, headaches from working at a desk all day) so I let the straps way out and grabbed that handy dandy bra extender and started working the straps and back where I would get comfy.First day was …ok. I was not comfy by any means. But I Never had to adjust it. But the criss cross was too high and made my neck uncomfortable.Second day, I played with the criss cross across my upper back, and really pulled down on the extender, which pulled down on the cross cross on my upper back(where I have pain) EUREKA!The criss cross was pushing on my upper back( not neck) and I used that extender to its full potential! The bra has a 2 inch long place to clasp the bra closed in the back, 4 brackets tall. ( do not know the technical terms for this, bare with me lol)The extender is another 2 1/2 inches long with 4 brackets to clasp it together.I pulled down on the back until I found “THE SPOT” for that criss cross on my upper back and snapped that baby closed. OH MY MY MY GOD!!!! ( I apologize, but the Lord likes when your happy)I went from 5 Am to 3 Pm at work, I wasn’t adjusting straps, I wasn’t tugging down on the back cause it rode up, I did not have to go for a bathroom trip to pull them back up because the bra was sliding up in the front. It has actual cup covers so modesty is A-OK, it stayed in place all day, and the boobs did too!!!My neck did Not hurt because the pressure from that criss cross pushed right on my upper back that I stood up straight without pain. No pulling on my shoulders making me hunch over after hours of sitting.I’m not saying this damn thing is a miracle but for us ladies who are older, and we have more aches, cracks and pops than the cereal, it’s AMAZING!I would be happier if the sides were an inch taller but considering it pushed the boobs up and together and made my back and neck NOT hurt, I’m sold!For the young ladies with none of these problems, I’m sure it’s good for you too lol. 😂

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the original bra that i bought about a year ago, so I thought I’d refresh my bras with some new ones. WELL… they have already changed the style and shape and material!! Where the original ones lay flat against my skin, and have nice cup sizes and are great to put under clothing that is fitted, the new ones have a different clasp in the back that isn’t as wide, and doesn’t lay flat which creates lines under my clothing, then the front, center piece where the 2 cups are sewn together now bulges out and has this super weird bump that TOTALLY shows at the bottom of my bra, then the lovely fabric that laid against my skin in the front, that part that also made it smooth under my clothing is not gone. It doesn’t go nearly as far down as it did, so it’s not as smooth. Then the cup size has completely changed!! I’m a petite build, 5’0, 110 pds but i have rather large breast, 32DDD. This was the only bra that i could find that my boobs didn’t overlap and didn’t look like a granny bra. I was getting the original in a Medium which was a slight bit bigger around than i wanted but the comfortable cup size more than made up for that. These new ones, that are supposedly the same size and style as the original ones, DO NOT FIT!!! I haven’t gotten bigger in any area, my boobs are the exact same size, my size is still 32DDD, my weight is the same but the new bras cup size is way too small!! And it bulges under my arms. Whoever they are using to design and manufacturer the new bras has ruined these. Might as well go to walmart and get a similar bra for much less money. I’d be willing to pay more for this bra if it was the original but not now.

I like it, but it does rise up a bit. It’s pretty comfortable but I think it makes my chest look bigger than it is. I guess that’s not a bad thing lol. I will say, I thought I bought the one with the thick straps and was surprised when the thin straps came in. I’m sure that was my fault. Just pay attention when selecting the bra you want. I’m giving 4 stars because of the rising up. No matter how tight I make the clasps, it still moves by the end of the day. It washes well and is breathable.
