Exquisite Form5100532 FULLY Original Wireless Full-Coverage Bra with Back Closure

I love this bra!!! So, what you need to know, if you are just generally looking for the typical bra, you were just randomly shopping and are used to/expecting what you normally find in the "modern" brassiere market-this is NOT the bra for you! However, if you love vintage clothes/vintage lingerie, are looking to recreate those vintage looks/silhouettes of the late 1940's-1950's-early 1960's-this is the one! You will feel as if you're stepping back in time with this one. It will feel stiff, kind of unforgiving when you first take it out of the packaging, but that will soften *a little* upon washing. Vintage bras used to have more of this fabric paneling on the sides and back, which offers support, not like modern bras which have significantly more stretch mesh/power mesh paneling. So, you have to realize this bra will not feel nearly as stretchy as any of your regular, modern bras. This will also tend to result in a tad more back fat spillage, WHICH CAN BE ADJUSTED FOR by order a bigger size. I normally wear a 34 E/F/G (just entirely depends on the manufacturer as to the cup size), so I initially ordered a 34 DD, as that is the largest cup size this brand makes. I instantly fell in love with the authentic vintage fit and look it gives under clothes, the cups will mold you into a very conical/bullet bra/"pointy" look, which is exactly what I wanted. Because there is much less stretch, I was a bit smooshed into the cups, and had that bit of back fat spillage, I am going to order a 36 DD, which I'm sure will take care of these small fit difficulties. I love the wide, U-like curve of the back, makes it more versatile under clothing. And let me tell you, because of the "strapped in" fit, the girls aren't going anywhere! I'm going to order many more of these and wear them while working out/playing golf, etc. I know some were off-put by the straps, but again, this is the way bras used to be made and these adjust like any regular bra, they just aren't tacked in on the ends as you are probably used to, no biggie. And wow, what an affordable price. I'm over the moon!

I bought this bra because I like having a natural look. Push up bras looks artificial, and doesn't show the natural silhouette of how that area should be. The first thing I noticed after opening the package was that the material felt like paper. It is really thin, so I have no idea how they expect that this will provide any support, especially for ladies who are a bit bustier. I didn't want to judge the bra by just looking and touching it, so I decided to wear it to work. The first thing I realized once I had it on was how awkward the straps are. There is nothing to stop the straps from sliding, so your busts (especially if you have heavier busts) will be hanging downwards. It fits extremely badly. The shape this bra gives your busts is extremely pointed. So just imagine having pointy looking boobs that are facing down. I wouldn't purchase this again and wouldn't suggest anyone to get this. The other people who are leaving good reviews, I'm wondering if we got the same bra. Or maybe they did a lot of adjustments to theirs, like sewing the straps shut, so it doesn't slide down every 2 seconds. If I'm purchasing a bra I'm expecting it to be ready to wear. I'm not expecting something I have to sew up and fix several areas on before I could wear it. I'm extremely dissatisfied. I threw it out since I wore it to work and couldn't return a worn item. Save your money folks! Go with a better bra which will be a tad more expensive but better than this junk.

If you buy this bra you have to understand that this is a vintage style bra. Your boobs will NOT be shaped the way they are in modern bras. They'll be like little torpedos sitting high on your chest. If you're into vintage apparel this is the correct foundation garment and your clothes will fit much better. ALSO--this bra is a feat of engineering. I am 42 years old and have had three thirsty babies. My boobs haven't seen this position since I was 20. No wires! No horrible wires poking me! Yet my boobs are perky!Yes, at first the fabric feels odd, papery somehow. But it's surprisingly comfortable to wear. I don't find myself ripping my bra off the moment I arrive home. I can wear this all day and not hate my life. The straps are adjustable and the excess strap material tucks up into the padded shoulder attachment thingie. I have retired all my wired modern bras in favor of this. If it helps in modern bras I wear a 32dd, I find a 34C in this bra fits best. It's also important to put it on the proper way. You need to lean forward and allow your boobs to fill the cup, adjust, and then stand up straight. Will be buying more of these, solid win!

I have worn brand and style for over 50 years. Reiveiws have always been very mixed on it. It is cut for women who need a fuller instead of a bigger bra. It seems to either "fit or not." For me, it has fit very well. Most have lasted for several years with lots of wear and washing. Recently, I have had a couple that had the straps break where it was sewn to the bra almost immediately. They are not perfect, but they work for me.

This bra is almost perfect for me. The straps could be greatly improved upon. They are made out of a stiff material, and the little shoulder pads do not compensate, they make things worse by sliding awkwardly around. They are connected to the main part of the bra with sharp, bulky plastic rings, and it's hard to adjust the fit of the straps because you have to take them partially apart to move the strap around. I will probably end up replacing the straps with something a bit more modern and comfortable.What I do like about this bra: Band size is fairly accurate, maybe a tiny bit on the large side. Cups are on the small side, but it's not too bad, because the shape of them will not make you have uniboob. Bra is unlined, and on the pointy side. If you want a retro look, this is perfect.
