This bra does seem to give good support. I normally wear a 36D, but I ordered a cup size up after reading other reviews and the 36DD was the correct size. The fabric felt itchy and a bit uncomfortable. It was not as smoothing as I hoped and I did "spill out" I bit on the sides, which is very unflattering. There was also a little bit of the cone-bra thing going on and it made my boobs look a little bit weird. The other bra I ordered, the comfort revolution bra by Bali, was extremely comfortable and worked very well for me - I'd recommend getting that one instead if you are looking for a comfortable and flattering bra. Though, the Bali bra is a little less supportive, but for the added comfort, it's worth it.
