The bra does provide adequate support, but it holds the breasts at least 3-4" apart from each other and causes them to point out the the sides. They were literally under my arms as I moved throughout my day. I have found several bras for big busted women that hold upright and forward unlike this one. I did get what I paid for and would not recommend this bra for any female under the age of 50 or a woman who would like to look slimmer because the bra does present a wider look from a frontal view. It is not easy to see how it holds them out to the sides in the picture because the model is standing at a slight angle.
