I have not ventured into padded bra land before but over Xmas my sister convinced me to give it a try. We bought three different styles from Vanity Fair and I love all three. Of the three though this is my personal favorite. It is very comfortable and the fabric is smooth and soft. It perks up the girls and provides excellent support and it doesn't make them look bigger!

The straps are comfy and do not fall off or shift. The back smoothing does happen too - I can notice a difference such that if I want to wear tighter shirts I would chose this bra.

This is a very nice bra for the price - high quality. I'm petite and a 38C and this bra fits like it was made for me. Sometimes once you hit a C cup as a petite the bra's are too big, too bulky - just too much bra (if that makes sense). This one isn't. I give it my highest recommendation. No pinching, pulling, feels great all day - and the girls are happy!
