I was nervous about buying a bra unseen but my research paid off. It is a great product for busty, plus-sized women. The bra has a 4 hook closure in the F cup size so the sides and back stay in place and do not cause unsightly bulges around its perimeter. The cups are supportive and after several washings, the underwire is still intact. I am not so crazy about the way it shapes my breasts. It gives me a pointy 50s silhouette, but the fit is so good, I have made peace with the retro look.
