I ordered this bra in the size I always wear, but it was very tight everywhere, around the torso and in the cups. I had to return it. At the same time, I ordered the Bali 3474 Powershape Back Smoothing Minimizer Underwire, and, while a little on the large size (in this bra I use the tightest hooks whereas I usually have to use the middle or outside ones) it supports and minimizes absolutely beautifully!!! It's such a great bra that I ordered 4 more!
