This thing is SUBSTANTIAL...I mean, strong like a fortress. I like wearing it when I want good posture. My plan is to wear it with the straps the vast majority of the time under sweaters. The seams are noticeable enough that it doesn't work as a smooth "tight soft t-shirt" bra for me...it draws too much attention to the girls. That being said, I'd wear it with a regular old school t-shirt or in a lined blouse. My hubby also noticed the seams in that they "appealed" to him and drew him in for "hugs", so that's not what I need in my career as a teacher...ha! It is very, very high cut, so won't work with most of my strapless sweat heart dresses...but then again, nothing does, so I knew what I was buying when I bought it. I give it four stars, because it still isn't a ... MoreThis thing is SUBSTANTIAL...I mean, strong like a fortress. I like wearing it when I want good posture.

I give it four stars, because it still isn't a "function" strapless bra in the sense that it can't be worn (in my cupsize) with most normal strapless shirts/dresses because the shirts/dresses don't go up high enough for us full-bosomed ladies!

I tried several different styles/shapes of strapless bras - this was the best of the bunch. However I wanted to wear it with a halter neck dress and was hoping to use the halter neck strap but unfortunately the hook pockets were quite far apart so the strap then showed under the dress so I had to wear it strapless. With the halter neck strap the bra gave me a really nice shape - it pushed my breasts together but without the strap my breasts went in the other direction so I ended up having to sew up the front edges of the bra on either side to bring my breasts closer together in order to make a better shape. So not altogether a success but I do always find it difficult to find a strapless bra that works well for me!

I normally buy a 34DD in the Panache Envy bras (should probably be at least a 34DDD if not larger but with the stretch lace it just barely fits). I bought a 34E in this bra and it fits great. I have NEVER in my 30 years of wearing bras found a strapless that actually fits, until now. This bra fits sooooo well and actually stays up all day without any tugging. By the end of the day it is a little uncomfortable but that's a fair trade for the perfect fit. FYI I have full on bottom breasts (from breastfeeding) with soft tissue, pretty wide set and fairly projected.

My usual size is 32J. I tried; 32J, 34j, 34HH, 34H, 32HH... I gave up in the end. Essentially, not one provided either a comfortable or right fit... no size fitted to my skin (between boobs) so every size was not suitable, sadly,,, too big, too small, 34 was not secure... I haveI reached the conclusion that curvy Kate bras may not be the right brand for my shape. So disappointed... the search for a strapless bra continues... thanks to the lovely ladies at Bravisdimo for their help and advice.Panache, Tango, 32J fits me perfectly. I hope Panache create a strapless non padded bra in a 32J so true to size of their wonderful Tango bras, offering the same level of comfort & support.One star as the brand didn't fit me so no strapless bra for my outfit, feeling rather ... MoreMy usual size is 32J.

Not great if you have asthma or gallstones. Looks fantastic and the strapless feeling is so freeing! It looks great and very sturdy. It still looks and feels alright with the straps on.Either way the band will gradually sink lower throughout the day, even if you're fairly sedentary and not stretching much.The wires do press against my ribcage strongly. It doesn't hurt to have it on at first, and will probably improve with more use, but after taking it off, I've been quite nauseous from the pain. (May be unrelated medical issue, of course.)The band has strips of silicone (?) that can pull at your skin when you try to adjust it higher. I recommend getting help to put it on or take it off. With typical flexibility, you might be fine anyway.
Bought this bra in 30FF in addition to my Panache beige/neutral bra. (Normal bra size is 28FF /G).Loved the feel of the material - it’s not a shiny material so it feels nicer.Had to visit a store to check the fit (which I deemed fine but just needed reassurance).Loved the style & fit so much I bought it in black.It’s really nice to find a strapless bra that fits as some have great big gaps under the gore !
Let me start by saying this bra is well-constructed and clearly supportive. The cups do have a bit of a higher rise, which only adds to the support you get which is often absent in other strapless bras. My issue is with finding the perfect size. The recommendation to order one cup size up did not work for me. The 34E felt easily 3 cup sizes too large on me, with the entire upper cup empty and supported only by its own solid construction. The bad, however, fit like a DREAM, I mean- perfectly! No bulge, absolutely smooth, a perfect fit. I exchanged the 34E for my usual size: 34DD. The fit is much better, I fill it out for the most part, and the band is still perfect. The bra stays up without any fuss, and it is well-designed and crafted. Still, the uppermost part of ... MoreLet me start by saying this bra is well-constructed and clearly supportive.

The fit is much better, I fill it out for the most part, and the band is still perfect. The bra stays up without any fuss, and it is well-designed and crafted. Still, the uppermost part of the cups has a bit of space. I think that perhaps my breast shape, contour, and loss of firmness/volume are the issue, here. I am top-full, but my breasts do fall the the bottoms of whatever cup they're in. I am hesitant to exchange it as 1.the color is consistently out of stock, 2. The 34D fits near perfectly,especially in the band, and 3. I fear a 34D will be far too small and cause spillage at the center and armpits and that the 32DDD will sacrifice my perfect band fit and risk leaving my breasts swimming in oversize cups. This bra has rave reviews, and I had so hoped to find my white whale of a strapless bra in this one.
I’ve a significant bust, 34GG and under normal circumstances wouldn’t entertain the idea of a strapless bra but a recent shoulder replacement forced me to reconsider as the scar from the operation traveled underneath a normal strap. I went down a cup size but am happy with this purchase. It was secure and comfortable and importantly allowed my injury with interference from my underwear.
I absolutely love this strapless bra! I own 2 others in white and black in my previous size. I wore them so much and felt comfortable all day. I wore the white one for my wedding and as you can imagine was dancing all evening. The bra didn’t move out of place at all. This brown one I’m yet to wear but have bought in my current size ready for my brother’s wedding as I am wearing a strapless dress. Cannot wait to wear it! I did have to go up a cup size in this as I did find a little spillage at the top. I’m usually a 30H and bought this in a 30HH
Bought this to wear under a strapless bridesmaid dress. However once the straps are removed the front sags unceremoniously, so does not give any real support. When using the straps because they are thin and narrow, easily fold and therefore cut into your shoulders. Also not sure why this is padded for larger sizes as adds approximately an inch to your chest size.
