I purchased this bra with very high hopes of it being like the bras I remembered my mother as having in my younger years. I was looking for a bra that would provide back support, a smooth look under clothing, and would stay in place without digging in to my shoulders or piercing into my sides from heavy boning. While I did receive some back support and it did remain in place, there was much to be desired as far as the way this bra looked under clothing and that fact that it did not remain in place. God forbid I should move at all, the darn thing would flip up at the bottom. I will never again purchase this item, and am back on my quest for a supportive, well fitting longline bra.
