Exquisite Form5100531 Women's Fully Wireless Cotton Back & Posture Support Bra with Front Closure & Lace

I'm rating this two stars for now mainly for my frustration and the hassle of having to return it since the sizing is wrong. It might end up being amazing if you managed to get one that actually fits.In reading reviews, some people said it fit too small and some set it fit too large so I went ahead and ordered my regular size, 36D. Although the tag on this bra says its a 36D, it's clearly not. I took pictures of the bra next to a measuring tape (see below): pics 1&2 show the band at rest measuring 28 inches, pics 3&4 show the band stretched measuring ~34inches (~1/2" over but I might add that with how hard I was stretching it, I can't imagine that would feel comfortable to someone who IS a 34). Pics 4&5 show it lined up with another, comfy, bra I have that is a 36D which measures 31inches at rest (a full 3 inches longer). My other bra stretched to 36 inches, so about 5" difference between the band's length at rest and when stretched. On this bra there was ~6" difference but I suspect 5" stretch is what would actually be comfortable. So if the each size really goes up two inches (e.g., 34,36,38...), then by their sizing 36=tight34, 38=tight36 40=tight38, etc. it's possible after a few washes it may not be as tight?One other mention: the cup did seem to fit fine (hard to tell with the band not fitting right) & since typically each time you go up a band size you go down a cup size for it to be the same (e.g., 34DD has same cup size as 36D) it would probably be a good idea to take that into consideration when ordering. I would say this bra although labeled "36D" is really a 34DD.Anyway, I think I'm personally out on this one & will just be returning and not exchanging but hopefully this will help someone.

I am a 60 yr old active full busted lady and this bar is awesome. It is one of the best bras I have purchased in yrs. I am happy I did read the other posts. I bought 1 size larger and 1 cup size smaller and the Bar fits perfect. Since I usually wear a DD I am amazed at how well it supports. I worked out last night and it did great. I bought because I am having issues with a rash. This bar has helped with that and is much more comfortable than ever expected. Love it. Hope this helps you to make your purchase.

This bra is crazy small. The reviews advise a size or two up, so I ordered the 42D, after measuring myself, just to make sure that my size was still 38D.It arrived today, and I tried it on, excited to have perhaps found a comfortable bra. Nope. I measured it, and it was exactly 33 inches, stretching to 36 inches. Now I have to send it back. Even if the band had been close to what I ordered, the straps were so small (and not adjustable at all) that I would never have been able to wear this ridiculous bra. This is false advertising, and a waste of my time. Seller needs to do something about their sizing.

Sizing is off, but I had opposite problem than other reviews: when I measured and bought size suggested, it was too big. I have been wearing 42DD in back clasp bras, and I have suspicions that they are a bit small in the cups. I measured and this told me to buy a 44F, (actually almost a 44G) but since there was none in that size, I bought 46DD, as those are supposed to be similar. I got the bra and really like the feel of it, but it is definitely a cup size too large. Band is ok, a little loose but would be doable, but cups have wrinkling due to extra space. I am sending it back and getting a 46D (i would have rather have gotten a 44DD, but none available for 1-4 weeks, so I'll try this) I will post update once I get it.Update: 46D fits perfectly. So I'd say to measure as they suggest and size down one cup or band size.

I really like this bra. It has a LOT of support without needing underwire or minimizing the breast. The straps are nice and broad, and the back is very wide so there are no unsightly back bumps. This bra supports through its firm fabric, so there is not a lot a stretch as you might find in the typical bra these days, so be sure to order your actual size (most bras these days you can fudge on, because they are so stretchy). Ordering your actual size is even more important becuase it clasps in front, you can't make the band bigger or smaller like you can with the traditional back strap, and because the shoulder straps are not adjustable. That said, I do find it runs true to size, but I would size up in the band if you aren't sure. I usually wear a 38 D or a 40 C, and the 40 C fit me perfectly in this bra. A 38 band size would have been too small. The top decrative part makes this bra very attractive.

This is going to be my favorite bra. I wish more colors would be available in my size. It is TRUE to size 34 - 29 inch under the bust (34-5) and cup D is 38 over the nipples = 34+4 (abcd). Perfect for me. I suggest people would use the tape measure and not believe american sizing which tries to flatter the curvier models. The cup is nicely shaped, the downside of other brands in which it is flat. The nice fitting under bust is of most importance for support which is lucking in other sizing, I would have to buy L to fit over the bust. The back feels much better with the shoulder support, the straps are comfortable, they are not adjustable so, but fits me well. I am very pleased with this bra and happy that did not listen to bad reviews and bought it true to sizing info.

Even though I am not giving this item a high rating, I want to say I love this bra.Pros: Being very busty, I have a problem with stretchy bras riding up in the back as the weight of my breast pull the bra forward.The mostly cotton posture support, not only keeps me standing straight, but it doesn't ride up, which is a small miracle to me.Once you get it on, it is very cool, and comfortable to wear and doesn't make my back feel tired from leaning forward.Cons: first off, being all cotton and thinking it might shrink, I bought a size larger, but it is still quite small.It is almost impossible to do up while wearing.If you put it on normally (breasts in cups) it is almost impossible to closeThe eye hooks are so close to the seam that even a small busted women would have a hard time seeing or "catching" them, let alone someone with large breasts in the way.I had to do them up firsts, (which is still hard because of the little amount they stick out) then move my breasts into the cups.As this is extremely time consuming, I decided to just leave it done up and slip on over my head.As the bra is all cotton, there is no stretch, so you have to force your breast into the cups.It is not great doing it this way, but is definitely the easiest and fastest way to get it on.Once on, it was all worth the work.I actually bough two more in different colours after wearing this one all day.

I have been buying this bra for decades, and have always loved it. I have found, though, that over the years the quality has being going down, down, down. I don't think it can go much lower now. The fabric is cheap and thin compared to what it used to be and it doesn't fit the same, the cups being scanter than they used to be, for one thing. It just doesn't fit the same. I am so disappointed as, for me, this has always been the best bra.

I like the material of this bra and it is not stiff and seems very comfortable. I like the fact that it is better support. The only downside is the band doesn't have much stretch so you have to buy the exact size or it won't fit. I had to return mine and if I could figure out the exact size I need, I would probably try getting another one. It seems to fit small in the width area as I am usually around a 38-40 and this 40 was too small (the cup size seems accurate).

It fits me exactly as I expected. I struggled for years to find a comfortable full support wire free bra and was pleased with this style. I have bought several in different colours and am satisfied with them all. They wash well and are best to air dry rather than in a dryer.I highly recommend it.Mrs. McLellan

I buy this bra all the time at Walmart but can never seem to get the black in my size only white so I decided to buy off amazon, I ended up sending them all back! I don't know if they were knock offs or what but the sizing was WAY off, I even had my sister try them on whose smaller than me and they didn't fit her either.
