This is probably one of the best bras I've had in years. I am usually a 34 band size but this one was just a little bit too tight so the tightest hook on the 36 does well. I am rarely ever adjusting it while wearing it and I would say it supports pretty well too. It's not the most attractive looking but I've come to accept that for the size of my chest. I haven't had to wear this with any tank tops yet so I'm not sure how much it will show...but once again that's just how it is for those more blessed in the chest! Every once in awhile the wire does poke a little but only once in awhile. Compared to every other bra I've tried, this one is amazing! I would give it a try...I returned the too small ones easily. this is way better than victorias secret and about the same price. Seriously-give it a try!
