So, compared to this company's other styles (I've tried pretty much all of them, and returned all but one), this is a good bra in that it is comfortable, and more importantly, the cups are good. I bought a 36DD and a 38DD to see which fit better. The 36DD was too small in the cup, but the 38DD fit well. The cups in these bras are good in that they place your boobs where they ought to be, not off to the sides or half under your armpits (you know the ones - where the wire is so wide, it is impaling your armpits with every move), and they do not give you wonky cone boob (like some of this company's other bras). They give good support but the main flaw is in the part of the strap that actually comes over your shoulders - This strap has zero give, no stretch or elasticity at all, so, the strap just kind of "hovers" on your shoulder. The minute you bend over, the whole bra comes forward including the straps. Once you straighten up, the straps do not snap back into place where you need them to be, so you are readjusting the straps/bra back up into place constantly. The straps, in the size that fit my boobs, made a constant squeaking sound like someone was behind me standing on an old creaky floor. Even my husband, standing near me said, "What's that squeaking sound?" Over which I started laughing my head off, proclaiming it was the bra. Husband - very confused, ha ha! The 36DD bra did not however make this squeaking sound, go figure. Anyway, I have returned both bras, and bought another 38DD in a different colour in the hopes that it will not sound like someone is standing behind me on a creaky floor. Will update when replacement bra arrives. Update: Replacement straps make the constant squeaky sound - ugh! I have unstitched the part of the straps that are not stretchy, have now replaced them with bra strap elastic, have looped them through the rings, and reattached the new stretchy straps to the front of the bra cups. No more squeaking sounds, and the bra now completely stays put when I bend forward. But geez, to think I had to do all that to make the bra function as it should.
