Vanity FairWomen's Beauty Back Smoothing Minimizer Bra, Minimizes Bust Line up to 1.5", Non Padded Cups up to H

I’m Wearing a 42 G - 230lbs, it is true to size. Looks nice and comfortable without being too fancy. Provides full coverage with comfortable straps and nice full back closure. Fabric is robust but light weight and smooth. Support level is moderate, I can walk quickly but not really run. Pleased with the price! Really good deal for a bra that actually comes in my size and fits. I Have been able to tolerate wearing it for a full day which is great (sometimes I really need a sports bra to survive). I find it sometimes pushes into my stomach hard with the underwire when I sit but it’s breaking in and doing that less. I’m really happy with it and may get another.

I actually love this bra. It does a great job at minimizing, no “bounce”, good coverage, no issues with sizing & quite comfortable. I also find no issues with the material, under wire or padding. I couldn’t find a front closure bra that was a minimizer that had great reviews so I ordered this one. I prefer a front closure bra (never had one) because my shoulders and hands have difficulty reaching to the back and using the hooks so I hook it first in front of me and turn it around and put it on. The band does stretch a little so I am on the next “tighter” set of hooks. I took a chance with this one because of the reviews and was desperate for a new bra. and other than the back closure this is a very good bra. If anyone knows of a great minimizer, front closure bra, with minimal padding, I’d love to know what it is.

Excellent bra. I have been wearing this brand and exact style of bras for several years. I’m a 36 C bra, previously a 38 DD before losing 50+ lbs. I’ve never liked being chesty and always look for a non padded bra. This minimizes the size of my chest and smooths out my back in tight tshirts. I never get hot in them and they wash well. The only issue I have ran into in the wires eventually work their way out, but that is fault of my own. You should hang dry any of your bras, but I don’t. With that said, they last a two years or more before that happens. Best thing about this bra is the support. I’ve had 4 children’s and breast fed them all. You can imagine the damage that has done to my chest. Without the bra, they hang pretty low. With the bra, no one can tell and it appears I have a very flattering, perky chest!

Or get a couple different sizes to try if you can.I have been wearing this bra for four years and I love it! It offers great support without giving you pointy boobs. It’s not padded and there are no seams on the front. When you get the right size it separates nicely so you don’t get sweaty boobs in the middle. Lol. Because it’s a back smoother the back is a little wider and so it’s more comfortable and doesn’t dig in.Over the last two years. I’ve lost about 100 lbs and so I’ve been going down bra sizes. According to the size chart, (35” ribs, 45” bust) I would be a 40DDD (I’m a 36I in other brands) I know that my current 38H version of this bra was too big in the band and cup so I ordered a 36H. It fits perfectly, the band isn’t riding up in back and I don’t have four boobs. It’s a little snug because it’s new, but I know that it will stretch in the next few weeks. (The reason bras are adjustable is so you can start at the biggest hooks and move in as it stretches. With a 38 band, I would’ve had to start on the smallest band setting and then it would ride up as it stretched out.)These bras hold up pretty well for a few months, but washing them in a lingerie bag will prolong their life. Otherwise the hooks can get caught in dryer and they bend easily. Eventually the underwires start to poke through (in 6-8 months?) but they’ve lasted longer than the LB/Cac- ique backsmoother bras I’ve had.I would given it 5 stars if you could guarantee fit from the size chart and it came in an I cup.

Most of my life I have had huge chest, and I hate it. I’m too scared for cosmetic surgery so I feel like I have been on an absolute MISSION for the right bra (minimizing, doesn’t hurt under boob / shoulders, doesn’t roll under the under boob, doesn’t create uni boob)I’ve tried dozens of bras of all types and all prices so let me tell you my exact thoughts.Here’s my complete review:Feel: This bra is comfortable and soft, it feels like butter on your skin and the underwire isn’t too harsh or hurts. The straps don’t hurt your shoulders. It feels high quality.Wear: this wears true to size! IT ACTUALLY DOES MINIMIZE (photos attached first set of photos I’m wearing a regular vanity fair bra not advertised for minimizing in 38DDD (photos labeled) - compared to me wearing the minimizing bra (also 38DDD) with the same shirt on (excuse the dog hair, I can’t help it with a 100lb Saint Bernard lol) I also purposely wore a shirt cut to emphasis boobs. I love the way it makes my boobs look drastically smaller. In person my boobs look a couple sizes smaller.My boobs do not spill out of the bra. The bra doesn’t roll itself into the under boob area.My boobs also do not create a uni boob throughout the day and the bra wears the same and comfortable, it doesn’t leave marks on the skin and i don’t become aware of it on my body. The bra easily adjusts and straps.I absolutely love how this bra wears especially because it has underwire and if you’re anything like me, underwire is the devil. The underwire on this bra is not uncomfortable at all. Because of the underwire it doesn’t create the annoying rolling some bras do to the under part of your boobs. I don’t have crazy uncomfortable suffocating cleavage. It’s excellent. I have no bad thoughts or reactions to this bra and that is incredibly rare for me. I absolutely love itWashing it: MUST WASH THIS IN A BRA BAG AND BY ITSELF. I have learned many lessons and ruined many bras by washing them with other things. Bras can mishape and deform if you wash them roughly. If you want to preserve this bra and it’s entirety just wash it separately and on a gentle setting (or even by hand)That being said, it doesn’t get ruined if washed properly.10/10 HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. These bras will be my holy grail forever - you’re welcome!
