First off, I haven't tried this thing "in the field," it's for my wedding next May. I ordered a few different strapless, longline bras to try, because for some reason the stores around here only want to sell the ones with straps (that do not detach). I first ordered a 32C, but returned it for a 32D, because the cups weren't exactly keeping the girls in. I'm a 34D, but everyone said order small. If I gain any flesh, the 32 will be too small, but the 34s I ordered in the other bras were all loose, so I'll just have to watch myself and hope for the best!

What I liked compared to other bras:
- The boning didn't bulge out when I sat down.
- It didn't create love handles.

What I didn't like:
- It's not sexy or very pretty.
- The cup material might be itchy if I sweat.
- All the hooks, but that's par for the course.

Why I'm giving it 4 stars:
- Returning one size for another was painless and quick (I ordered through Amazon).
- The boning doesn't bow out!
- It SEEMS, from the sit and movement tests, that it will hold up for the wedding. I don't recommend jump roping in it, but it will do an adequate enough job. I tried more expensive bras, too, and they didn't seem to do any better structurally.
