This bra is great at holding up and shaping the breast. The french know what they are doing. It starts off tight and high fitting. After about 5 months of continous use, it will sag. I find this is a much better product and has a longer life span then the ones at Lane Bryant's Cacique. The trick is to have multuple bras so you don't wear them out to quickly. I know easier said then done, but heavy breast cause heavy ware.
