When I opened the package I was initially disappointed. The bra is very thin, stretchy and felt downright flimsy.  Not at all what I expected after the reviews.  I decided to try it on just to confirm my negative impression - but I was pleasantly surprised.  At 42DD, my girls are a lot for any bra.  My biggest issue is support and shape - the girls like to go their own separate ways.  This bra lifted and pulled them both face forward, leaving me with a beautiful round shape.  It is comfortable, stays supportive all day.  I would never have thought it could be so effective and comfortable at the same time.  I'll be buying more of these.
