I'm a plus size gal and I thought this shelf bra would be a cute, less than Lane Bryant, expense.  Should have shelled out more money.  I have were a 42 DD, so I was not expecting a lot of support from this bra.  However, I received ZERO support.  After the first wear and hand wash, one of the underwires broke through the fabric.  What a waste!  I think I'll invest in one made by a company that specializes in clothes for women like me.
