Hoped for a bra that actually did what it claimed to do........but sadly it does not. I bought this bra mainly for the back smoothing description and the customer rating count for people who liked the bra. As soon as it arrived I tried it on really hoping for the best. The first thing I noticed was that the underwire was curved so tightly into a U shape that it did not fit the width or shape of my breast, the cups cut into the outer sides of my breasts/underarm and felt bad. Finally for me the most important part was that it did not smooth my back at all, What a let down, the pictures looked so good in the add, but in actuality the back band and back material do not lay flat like in the picture, they fold and crease after a couple of movements.
