Maidenform Women's Tailored Strapless Underwire Minimizer, Seamless Convertible Bra

Thank you, so much, other Amazon reviewers for your reviews of this bra! I am a 38DD and could NEVER wear a strapless bra until this one. I have purchased some high end strapless bras in the past and after an hour or so the bras would be bunched up, falling down, I would be falling out of it, they would look horrible under clothes, and lastly, the most uncomfortable things I have ever worn. After reading other reviews of this bra, specifically large sized women like myself, I figured I would give strapless bras one last chance before swearing off them completely. I just purchased a dress that I love and can not wear a standard bra with it, and needless to say, at 38DD there is no way I am going braless! I did order one band size up, as some other reviewers suggested, and I am glad I did. I probably would have gone up a cup size also based on other reviews but this bra does not come in DDD. I was pleasantly shocked when I put the bra on! It fits perfectly, I could not ask for a better fitting, and better feeling strapless bra. But the proof is in the pudding as they say, so I actually wore the bra around my house for a couple hours to make sure it would not bunch, fall down, roll down, or I would be spilling out of it like all the other ones in my drawer. It is perfect! stays up, comfortable, and it is actually supportive and does not flatten or sag the girls! Its a keeper, and at this price, I just ordered two more for backups. Because we all know, the minute you find a bra you love, it will be discontinued! If you are on the fence about this bra, just go for it. I am a perfectionist and if I love it, at my size, I can not imagine why anyone else would not.

I'm a 38DD and always hated shopping for bras. The girls are also differrent sizes: One is a D cup while the other is fills out a DD, so fit and sizing was always a headache. I havent bought a strapless bra since highschool, was naturally skeptical to buy online but a friend convinced me. I read lots of reviews on different products and saw this mentioned and decided to get it, surprisingly it worked out!Pros:-NO LIP. This was huge for me. I hate how after a while, even regular bras will stick out at the "lip" (top of the cup) and show a bra line underneath your top. This bra sticks right to the skin and stays put!-Tight band: I'm used to bras being small bust wise so I did it on the third hook and was shocked how tight it was. This may be a con to some, but for me I can wear it on the first hook and then tighten it as needed. Holds everything in place-Doesn't slide: Passes the bounce test, no slipping down and awkwardly having to pull it up or adjust constantly.Cons:-Extra fabric: The fabric outside the bra feels kinda like swimsuit fabric. It bunches up awkwardly and can show a bit under clothing, however, this is solved if you pull the extra fabric together and then tuck it underneath the top of the bra. I'd still rather this than the lip which can't be fixed or hidden.-Under arm chub: The bra tightness made the skin under my arms poke out more and create extra chub in that area. Not ideal but I'll live.Overall, if you're thinking about it I say get this bra! Especially if you are larger-breasted, it won't let you down. If you care about minimizing, it does make your breasts look a little smaller but Id take that over the extra padding, pushing and awkwardness of most strapless bras. It's a good buy!

Bra is definitely well made. I inspected every inch of it and couldn’t find anything wrong. I ordered a 36D and fit like a glove. I love the great support they added in the back to help keep things in place. I would have loved if it had some light padding, but I quickly can fix that by inserting small pads from another bra. I have tons of bralettes with removable bras in all sizes; some I cut them to my desired shape and size. The pads i inserted into this bra, there’s no way they’ll escape under the wire or the top which has some silicone? Or whatever material it is, which, it is good staying attached to the skin. As years go by, I want less padding on my breast, and less fabric on my chest, shoulders and back. Maybe in some years I’ll just wear adhesive to keep the nipple madness under control but until then this cute bra does the job.*the minus star is because the tags, both the size/pricing and bra tag, neither say ‘Maidenform’, so I don’t know if I got a Maidenform or not. Normally they would brand their products. But bra is so well made that I’m keeping it. But if it’s not the brand they shouldn’t use the name. Also, bra is not made in Bangladesh (which I don’t care) mine says made in El Salvador with 81%nylon and 19%spandex.

At first glance this appeared like a good strapless bra choice because of the large cups and wide band. I’m a 32E with a very saggy bust and it really did seem to be a miracle bra. But it dug so hard into my ribs that I have a scar that has never gone away right under both my armpits from one day of wearing this. I think this is a much better choice for someone who doesn’t need as much support.
