Ten stars! This is the ultimate bra, along with the Parfait TEss contour. Parfait knows about good support! I had this bra in brown, I had gotten it because of the color, and I discovered an amazingly supportive bra with the extra bonus of a very deep plunge, perfect for certain outfits. So I got the blue and plan to get the black. A thin padding provides support and modesty without bulk. I feel like a million bucks in this bra.
Only disappointing thing: the blue is not like the photo. It's a very dark navy blue, almost black. Not the color I was looking for.
