This is a lovely bra, but it is only ok. I typically wear a 3x or 42D bra, got this in 3x. The lace is pretty and VERY FRAGILE, I already put a hole in mine just getting it on the first time (in the bottom, out of sight). It is also short in the straps and they are not adjustable, so if you usually have a long drop in your straps, this is NOT the bra for you. Lucky for me, I am short to average in this area, and once I got the bra on, it was snug, but pretty. The band was also snug, but it needs to me as it is doing the lion's share of the work in keeping everything in place. It wasn't so tight I couldn't breath, but made getting it on and off a struggle.I do like that the cups are padded, and there are little openings for you to pull them out for either reshaping, adjusting, or removal.Because the straps and the back are lace, if I am extremely careful, I might get one season out of this bra...Tight getting on and off but otherwise ok. The lace connections / straps will likely result in a short life for this style as it's more delicate due to the lace. Just the first time getting it on there was "thread popping" - once on it was fine, just a little tight. Had to have my honey help me take it off. He thought it was not worth keeping due to the difficulty getting it taken off but I feel for the price I paid it's not worth returning.I ordered these two bras and was away on family emergency and unable to try them on before the 30 day return. Now I am 'stuck' with these two bras that do not fit at all and out the money I spent. Very disappointed as I order the Rhonda Shear bras in a different style and they fit perfectly and are very comfortable however these were soooooooooo small I was not able to even get them on. I'm also unable to get in touch with Amazon to get a refund and return.It was tighter than my other Ahh By Rhonda Shear bras, but the worst part was that in less than 2 minutes, I knew that I would never be able to keep it on. I (apparently) have heavy breasts that pull down so hard that the straps are pulled too tightly over my shoulders and across my neck. One of the reasons that I started to wear Ahh is because "normal" bras dig into my shoulders. Ahh is much more comfortable. This style was the exception.If you order this item you better make sure you order small or large enough. They do run small. This item comes from Canada and when you go to return it you have to fill out a form and pay at least 12.00 dollars extra!!!!Tried my size - too smallI suspect it might be perfect for smaller ladies but at a DD, this product was VERY difficult to put on and the lace on the back, as pretty as it is, digs into your neck and makes it really uncomfortable - it might be perfect for c cups or lower but if you're like me into the d's, I suggest this might not be a good choice. I wore it once for less than 4 hours before I had to take it off and go comando!!!
