I had no idea a strapless bra could support so well. I remember buying one a while back and I couldn't even wear it because my chest would just droop. Somehow this thing stays on firmly and in place. It creates a very nice bustline. I wore it under a dress this morning and my goodness did it shape me! It comes with straps for extra lift but I don't need them. It is very pretty too. It has this lacy design and looks vintage. Maybe thats why its called the Marilyn? I want another one!
