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

Outstanding bra! Vanity Fair does not list this right as a strapless. It is actually a convertible bra! Vanity Fair includes two straps and instructions on how the bra can worn 5 different ways! I am glad I took the chance on this. The fit is great. The support is great. The bra has two strips of silicone on each outside band to prevent slippage. I'm a plus-size girl with XXL breast and this bra has stayed put with and without the straps. Very comfortable too!

This is hands down one of the best strapless bras I’ve ever worn. It actually stays in place all day thanks to the silicone along the underwire, sides, and back—no slipping or constant adjusting. The lightly lined cups provide great shape and modesty while still feeling comfortable and supportive. I also love the versatility of the removable straps. Being able to wear it strapless, traditional, criss-cross, or halter makes it perfect for so many different outfits. The double knit fabric really does smooth the sides and back, giving a clean, flawless look under clothing. It’s supportive, comfortable, and well-designed, especially for fuller figures and full coverage needs. If you’ve struggled to find a strapless bra that actually works, this one is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

This bra is all that it says it is. The rubber edging helps keep it in place and the broader band is nice for better smoothing. I normally wear a 38 C but ordered a 40 C and glad I did as it’s very snug fitting. Even with that I can only comfortably wear it using the last row of hooks and eyes. After wearing it for awhile, it tends to ‘dig’ into my skin in spots so definitely not wearable all day long in my opinion. I’m thinking it’s the underwire edges that do that..but I think underwire helps shape better than other bras without underwire. I also like that you can wear it as a convertible style bra however I doubt I ever would since it’s supportive enough without the straps. Note: I cut off the 4 plastic loops…not really sure why those are there other than possibly for hanging when washing?? Maybe someone can explain their purpose.

I chose this product because I was looking for a standard bra that would properly support and shape without feeling heavy or uncomfortable. I’m really glad I gave this brand a chance because it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. The bra provides great support in the back and holds everything in place very nicely. It’s comfortable, feels high quality, and it’s almost invisible under clothing, which I love. Overall, I’m very happy with it and will definitely be buying it in other colors. 10/10.

Update 6/21/23: I wore this bra two times while on vacation this past week. I thought it was super comfortable, gave great lift and shape, and was barely noticeable. I wasn’t adjusting it constantly and I didn’t feel like my boobs were going to pop out if I bent over. I was in a tropical setting and even with humidity, the bra did not feel uncomfortable nor did I feel like it was irritating if I sweated. However, I am updating my review to take some stars away since I have noticed that I now have bruises or marks on my chest after wearing the bra. Many other reviewers noted this as well. I did not notice until a few days after wearing the bra, but I definitely have dark marks across the sides of my chest. I am not sure if these are scars or what. But they are unattractive and I have no idea when they’ll go away. So it loses two stars because while it’s a great bra in function, there is NO reason for it to leave marks like this. And given that many people comment on it, I am not sure why they have not re-engineered this to avoid that. I was really impressed with this bra. I haven't worn (or bought) a strapless bra in a looong time. So long that when I was trying to pack one for a vacation, I realized the cup size for my old bra was maybe 1-2 cups too small, so that means it's been long enough that my body has changed significantly. Items that require a strapless bra aren't my go-to outfit of choice in any case. But I am going to a very warm location, so that meant a lot of things with fine straps. I needed a bra really last minute (ordered this like 2 days before my flight) and I have a larger chest (40 DD). And based on some of the reviews, I was concerned the bra wouldn't fit. But this bra was a PERFECT fit. I was shocked. As a disclaimer, I already wear Vanity Fair as my daily bra (I own the Beauty Back Smoothing Full-Figure Contour bra in 4 colors), so when purchasing this I took a "gamble" and bought my regular size in VF. When I opened the package, I was nervous because the cups looked HUGE. I was like, "no way is this going to fit." But I tried it on and it was great. First off, the silicone grips around the back really make this thing feel like it will not budge. I did not hop up and down or anything, but I did feel like it was kind of suctioned to my skin. And to pull it up or down I really had to grip it. And the cups also fit great. I guess there is something in the construction between a regular "strapped" bra and the strapless in which they might distribute the cup differently. They know what they're doing, in any case. Because I felt it fit great and did not have a ton of gapping and didn't feel like the cups were going to bend over or my boobs fall out. I don't think the back had a ton of stretch, and I was nervous I wasn't going to be able to get it around me, but, again, it was perfect. I wore mine on the furthest out hooks, but to my understanding, that is what you're supposed to do with bras (and then move in to the tighter ones as the bra becomes worn). I also think this is a high quality bra. In waiting for this bra to arrive, I did pop into Walmart to see if I could pick up something in person, and the only strapless bras they had were Maidenform. While it was maybe a few dollars cheaper than this VF bra, I did not buy the Maidenform bra because it felt flimsy and uncomfortable. So I'm glad I held out to wait for the VF bra to come. Very happy with it so far.

I measured myself at home before ordering because I honestly had no idea what my correct bra size was anymore. I’d been wearing an old favorite for years and recently lost weight, so I decided it was time to find my real size. My under-bust (band) measured 34.5”, and my full bust was 38.5” — a 4-inch difference. Using the standard formula: Band size: round under-bust to the nearest even number (mine = 36) Cup size: 1 inch = 1 cup size → 4-inch difference = D cup That made me a 36D, which turned out to be perfect. I ordered both 36D and 38D to compare — the 36D was snug but supportive and comfortable, while the 38D was too loose and didn’t hold my bust in place. The 36D fit beautifully, gave great lift and shape, and stayed put all night long at a wedding (including hours of dancing!). I didn’t have to pull it up once. For reference, I weigh 159 lbs, and this fit true to size. I’ve always hated strapless bras because they usually slip, squeeze, or flatten my chest — but this Vanity Fair strapless changed my mind. My niece, cousin, and sister-in-law were all tugging up their strapless bras during the wedding, while mine didn’t budge once! Design details I love: • Comes with removable straps so it’s convertible (strapless, one-shoulder, halter, or crisscross) • Four-hook back closure for extra hold and smoothing • Anti-slip silicone around the top edge and along the bands to keep it secure • Thick, smoothing side bands that prevent bulges and create a clean silhouette • Full coverage cups with very light padding — supportive but natural-looking I bought the black and plan to get more colors. Tip: Take a few minutes to measure yourself before ordering — it makes all the difference. This bra is true to size, incredibly supportive, and flattering. I highly recommend it to anyone who’s given up on finding a strapless that actually works!

A must buy if you need a strapless bra. For me it was true to size, but it will be tight and a bit uncomfortable if you are a bit bigger chested. I’m a 38D and had no issues of the bra slipping or the girls falling out. I wore it for several hours and the main thing was it got uncomfortable when I started sweating a bit and with how tight the bra was but that’s also to be expected of a strapless bra.

Im a 38d and the band was a bit too small..Will order again just a 40 this time. It is a very nice bra that stays in place!
