Exquisite Form 5107565 Fully Slimming Wireless Back & Posture Support Longline Bra with Front Closure & Lace

I had many reservations about shopping for a bra online, especially a longline bra. I read alot of reviews on many different brands. I followed the customers' recommendations as closely as possible. I had to return 2 or 3.... BUT THIS BRA FITS PERFECTLY. Some customers for this bra suggested....go up 2 band sizes and down 1 cup size. I DIDN'T DO THAT, BECAUSE I figured out along the way, I have been wearing the wrong size in regular bras. So following there recommendations just threw me off. IN THIS BRA, I WENT UP ONE BAND SIZE, AND KEPT THE SAME CUP SIZE AS I NORMALLY BUY. I usually wear a 36DD, so I ordered a 38DD. IT FITS PERFECTLY, WITH LOTS OF SUPPORT (BACK & FRONT) AND HOLDS IN MY MIDDLE BETTER THAN ANY UNDERGARMENT I HAVE EVER WORN. PLUS IT CLOSES IN FRONT. YOU CAN PUT IT ON WITHOUT EXTRA HELP. The best part is..... it is the least expensive of all the brands I tried. WONDERFUL!!!!! BUT....FYI.....you need to buy the exact band size you need, because there is only one row of hooks.I suggest you definitely go up 1 band size, and if your girls are bulging out of the cups of your regular bra, order the same size cups in this bra. But if your girls are fitting properly in your regular bra, go down one cup size for this bra. BOTTOMLINE, cups of this bra are roomy. LOVE THE BRA..... HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

USUAL BRA SIZE: 38B w/ pads; 36C or B w/o pads; L or XL Sport Bra depending on style & compressionSIZE ORDERED: 40B (one band size UP) (Color: Rose Beige; it's like a nude color)SIZE CHART MEASUREMENTS: 38B= Underbust 33-34"; Full bust 38-39"40B= Underbust 35-36"; Full bust 40-41"MY MEASUREMENTS: Me= Underbust 34 1/2"; Full Bust 38"; Waist 35-37"HOW THIS BRA FITS ME:TORSO - 5 of 5 stars**Some waist cinching, good amount of firming & smoothing, not too tight to wear or to sit in.**Single Row of Hooks - allows NO adjustment of the torso fit/tightness**The 38" band size I would have normally ordered would have been too tight with this bra's torso having no way to adjust tightness.**The torso did NOT ROLL up at all.**The bottom of this bra's torso sits above my natural waist bend, making it easy to sit without pushing up on the bra or pinching at the top or the bottom. (I'm only 5'3", but I have an average torso length and short legs. If you have a very short torso, the bra may be uncomfortable or ill fitting when seated.)TORSO NOTES: I was ready to take it off after 5 hrs but expect it to stretch over time, likely making it more comfortable for longer periods of wear. I'm satisfied with the bra's fit through torso & very glad I sized up by one.CUPS: 3 of 5 stars**This bra's cups have no padding, no underwire, thinner fabric with no structure**Not a good fit, cups are too big at the top**I added pads to fill in & round out the ill-fitting cups, did some DIY shaping of the pad to fit rightCUP NOTES: There was no way to purchase this bra in a (smaller) cup size that would better fit my breasts without it being too tight in the torso. A product return or adding cup pads were my choices. I chose to keep the bra and add the pads (had to do some customizing to get the pads to fit right.) The bra looks fine with the pads, even under more form-fitting tops.STRAPS: 2 of 5 stars**Straps are NOT adjustable (same as the torso)**Bra has wide straps, rather thick. They are comfortable but not easily concealed (and definitely not sexy)**Strap placement on my shoulders limits neckline stylesSTRAP NOTES: Nonadjustable straps could make bra unwearable for some ladies. They fit me but ANY shorter and they would have not have fit. The straps fall in an awkward place on my shoulders, closer to my neck than other bras (except some sport bras). That makes the bra unwearable under tops that have a wider neckline. I have small, narrow shoulders & that may be why the straps settle there, maybe not like that on wider shoulders.OVERALL VALUE: 4 of 5 stars**For $18.20 (April 2022), this long line bra was the lowest price I found after a long search and many reviews read.**In the $20 range, I would order this again, even though it's not the bra I would choose to wear under formal attire (mostly because of the bulky straps).**Knowing what I know now, if the price would get into the $30 range, I probably would not buy it again, but I have no regrets about this purchase.MEASUREMENT DETAILS**All my own measurements (shown at top of review) were taken nude, standing erect, with loose tension on a cloth tape measure.**Full bust measurement taken at fullest part of breasts, Underbust measured at the normal bra line.**Waist measured at the side bend. The 2" range in size depends on how recently and how much I've eaten or how much I'm willing to suck it up. 35" is in public, conscious of keeping my stomach tight (sucked in, which, if done consistently, is good exercise for the stomach muscles!), and aware of my posture. 37" is home, loose clothing, letting loose.FINALLY:**This was my first-ever purchase of a full-line bra, so I was totally "green" and flying blind.**I consider this bra to be a good full-line starter bra & a suitable, inexpensive choice for home and casual wear/casual gatherings. I don't think I'd wear it under very formal attire, like dinner with the Queen, going to the opera, or your persnickety cousin's wedding; that kind of formal. For me, the straps are just too bulky and sit too close to my neck to to wear under formal garments, but it wears very well under more casual clothing.**Now that I've bought my first full line bra, I will get another one down the road, but better quality this time, most likely more expensive, and from a brick and mortar shop where I can see what I'm buying.

I am 5' 10" and 183 lbs.I usually wear a 44C, but this bra was about an inch short around the breasts and about 2 inches short around my torso/ribs.I am returning this one and ordered the largest C cup they have. If that doesn't work, I may give up.They do need to give this bra a little more stretch so it can be pulled on, instead of the thousand hooks you can't see when you're trying to put it on! Ugh!I did like the stiff bracing points for back support tho. I just need to find one that fits! These sizing charts are WAY OFF.With a few little tweaks, I believe this bra could be a big seller!

This bra seems durable and supportive, but the sizing is so off. I ordered my usual size and it was way too small. I couldn't fasten it in the front. I really wanted to keep it, but had to return. Now I don't know what size to order.Update: So, I ordered this bra again in another size thinking that I've got it right this time; WRONG!!! It fit nicely in the torso, but the cups were too big. I sent the second one back and didn't get my full refund. Oh well, they won't hear from me again.🫤
