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! :)

Listen, I wear a 34H. I did not expect to find a strapless bra that would be up for the task, let alone such an affordable one. The fit is very true to size, it has a lining but no padding to increase the size of your breasts, which is exactly what I need. I've worn this all night at multiple weddings now and not only is it comfortable all night, the fit does not change. You won't have to worry about it slipping down or twisting. It's MAGIC, get one!!

I wear a 38 D in all my bras, from Walmart to Victoria’s Secret. I ordered that with this bra as well and the cups were huge. It made a gap between my breasts and the bra itself and it was just huge. So I had to return it for a 38 C (which I haven’t worn a C in years). But I did receive the smaller size and it fit like a 38 D normally would. I do like the non-slip aspect as well. It has what feels like hot glue pieces inside that will keep the bra from falling down, and even comes with straps incase you want to use those.

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.

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.
