big disappointment

I bought this bra because of Oprah's nod to the product. However, this bra is a minimizing bra. It mushes you until you look like you have a small overly padded chest. The worst part is the quality. I bought this bra less than a year ago and on both sides, under the arms the fabric has "split". On both sides the seams tear out. Now I have to admit, I do not always wash my bra's as recommended, sometimes they get thrown in with the wash however I do not wash them daily. I really was looking for a high quality bra for a full figure. This may be for a full figured person but it does not flatter. A plain old wonderbra in a large size works better. At least you look pretty and not like you are wearing armor under your shirt.
