The bra arrived quickley.  I already had two of these bras(Playtex 4641) that I'd purchased at JC Penney (at full price!!) so I compared the new bra to those to be sure I wasn't being sold a "second" or something.  What I discovered in measuring the side panels, top to bottom, was that none of the three bras were exactly the same measurement!  The difference was a half inch or more in places.  I don't know, maybe they are being constructed in China or something.  At any rate, I like the gel strap - great invention!  I like the cotton lining for hot days, and the fit is good for a large busted gal.  If they could follow the pattern and cut them all the same size, I'd give them five stars.
