This awesome bra is perfect for women w larger size breasts, who want a lot of support, but do not want the giant, gramma, halter bra. I believe that no bra can really offer support if the straps are too skinny, so this bra is a great compromise on that level; the straps are as slim as they can be but still very firm. The underwire is formed in such a way that you don't feel like you are wearing a corset, it's very comfortable. The material is what really does the job, though; very smooth, elsasticky, but very firm. This bra is practically invisible under knit tops, as well. LOVE IT!
