Vanity Fair Women's Beauty Back Smoothing Strapless Bra, 4-Way Stretch Fabric, Lightly Lined Cups Up to H

EDITED 12/18/2023Still the best strapless ever. And still inconsistent sizing. My testimonial below was for the black color in 40D. I ordered same bra in beige to cover all bases. 40D Beige arrives, I cut off the tags and throw it in my drawer. Couple of days later, I receive an off-shoulder blouse to try on. I whip out the Beige strapless, only to find the same size bra is NOT the same size at all! The cups looked smaller to my naked eye, but I also took a pic with rulers for the VF folks to see there is at least 1/2" difference in the height of the band. Beige is shorter, and I spilled out everywhere! Needless to say, Beige bra already returned, but I have no idea what to do for neutral now. I already returned Beige in 42D because it was too big in the band. Only buy halters and off-shoulder in black? Oy vey!UPDATED 1/27/2024Tried some other strapless bras from other brands hoping to find another gem in a light or neutral color. All I found were multiple trips to the return counter. I decided to return here once again and give 74380 another chance, this time in White. When it arrived, I didn't even have to open it; the back of the bra was visible through the clear VF bag, and I could count 5 glorious hooks. The shorter (less tall) Beige only had four hooks. Tried it on to verify, and it's just the same as Black. Beautiful! Officially ready now for summer and all that romantic off-the-shoulder action, in any (every?) color! :)The last hopefully helpful thing I would like to offer is, when you wash these beautifully lined bras in the washing machine, use cold water, a delicate, low-spin cycle, and put them in a hosiery bag if you have one large enough; if not, use a pillowcase. They work just as well! Tie a loose knot at the top of the case to keep the bras inside. Loose being the operative word here, otherwise you'll struggle to open it afterwards when wet. I've never dried my bras in the dryer, I just lay them out on the bed and make sure the cups are smooth. Mine require a flip to get both sides dry, but it's worth it to avoid the heat damage and keep the colors vibrant long-term. My grandfather used to say, if you took care of your car, it would take care of you. Bras are absolutely no different! ;)*************************************************************************************************************************This strapless bra is amazing! It lifts like a crane, it doesn't move, and in the correct size, it's actually comfortable! I've been on the bra hunt lately, and VF is my brand. I didn't realize I've always been wearing them until I went to throw away some 20-year-old retirees and saw the VF tags. They didn't have the Full Figure feature back then, which is absolutely incredible for back and sides! And this strapless version is definitely Full Figure, not Full Coverage. Meaning, the cups are lined/padded/molded, giving perfect shape, while the higher sides do lovely things for the underarm and back areas.Now, here's the trick. Getting the right size. In this bra, you want to be accurate. Bigger is NOT better, neither is smaller. When you first get this bra, it should be snug to your body on the last/furthest-out hook, with no more leeway than a finger between you and the bra. If it stretches as you wear it, you will have two more hooks/places to go inward. The cups should fit around your breasts snugly without spillage over the top, or a gap at the top between you and the bra.If you first get this bra in your typical size, but the cups seem gigantic, try tightening the hooks. If that helps the cups fit better, there's your first clue you have the wrong band size, not cup size. I know, right? I would have thought a bigger band would always be more comfortable, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Bigger chafes where it shouldn't, nor does it perform on sides/back like the correct size.The first size chart I saw for this bra said my measurements should be wearing a 44D. (My underbust is about 39.5" and my overbust is 44".) That chart must have been incorrect, because three orders and returns later I can personally attest I am a 40D in this strapless model. And though the 44D (and 42D!) fit me comfortably, I wasn't comfortable in the way I should have been, and now I know the difference. Tight IS right because the bra doesn't slide or roll; it just stays flat and stationary...and correctly positioned! Of course, too tight wouldn't be very comfortable either. If you must err, go with the closer fit!You came to the right place if you have bodacious tatas in need of a strapless crane. This bra will be your new best friend! :)

This is the best strapless bra ever! I am a 34DD so for me it’s important to find a comfortable but sturdy strapless bra so that the girls stay put. I ordered it a little over a year ago and I still wear it to this day! It fits perfectly and does not slide down or move at all. It does not dig into your skin or hurt. It is very flattering and there is no spillage. It came with straps that I use all the time! The straps don’t dig into your skin and they are adjustable. It is honestly one of my favorite bras. It has 4 adjustable hooks in the back so that you can choose how tight you want it, which I love because it has a wide strap that keeps the bra up. It is breathable and honestly pretty comfortable all things considered. Highly recommend.

Great half bra & great price !! True to size I’m a 40DD !! Only thing I wish that it had the silicone strips around the top of cup on breast , it’s just lined on the side ! But overall it’s supportive & comfortable!

I've been using the Vanity Fair Women's Beauty Back Smoothing Strapless Bra for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed by how well it performs. Strapless bras are often hit or miss—either they’re uncomfortable, slip throughout the day, or don’t provide enough support. But this one has exceeded my expectations in so many ways.First and foremost, the fit is fantastic. I can wear this bra for half a day, and it stays exactly where it’s supposed to. The grip on the band is strong enough to keep it from sliding down, but not so tight that it feels constricting or leaves marks on my skin. It adheres well to the body without feeling sticky, which is such a relief, especially on warmer days when sweat can make strapless bras a nightmare. This one feels breathable and smooth all day long.Another huge plus is the support and shape it gives. Not only does it stay in place, but it also offers a nice push-up effect, which is perfect when I want that extra boost for a more flattering look. The lift is noticeable but still natural, giving me that enhanced silhouette without feeling overdone. It's exactly what I need when I want to feel a bit more confident or put-together, especially for special occasions or when wearing outfits that need a little extra shaping.The overall design is sleek and seamless, which is great for wearing under tighter tops or dresses. There’s no awkward bulging or discomfort, and the back-smoothing feature works wonders at keeping everything looking smooth and tucked in. Vanity Fair really nailed the combination of function and style with this one.In terms of comfort, I can easily go about my day without constantly adjusting or worrying about the bra slipping. It’s also lightweight enough that I forget I’m wearing a strapless bra most of the time, which is saying something considering how fussy strapless bras can be. Finally, the durability has impressed me. After several uses, the elasticity and grip are still just as strong, and it’s held up really well after washing. Overall, if you're looking for a strapless bra that provides great support, stays in place, and gives you that extra bit of lift, I can’t recommend the Vanity Fair Beauty Back Smoothing Strapless Bra enough. It’s comfortable, reliable, and makes you feel good—what more could you want?
