First let me start with that this bra didn't minimize my boobs at all.  However, I am a 34/36 DDD.  My goal of this bra wasn't to minimize but to have a comfortable bra that fits and has support.  It provided all of those things.  I find it next to impossible to find bras that fit without going to a specialty store and spending $80+ on a bra.  I've worn this bra about 4xs and it hasn't lost it's shape at all which is a good sign.  The seamless band is SUPER comfortable.  It was less than $20 so if it stretches out a bit after a while I can order a new one and still break even.  Really great.  I took of a star because it didn't minimize and I would have liked if it helps with a few of my button up shirts that were a tad too tight on my chest.
