I was looking forward to this model of bra based on all the fabulous reviews...plus Oprah's approval seemed to make it a done deal. I was surprised to find out that while smooth in the front, it is far from smooth when you turn around to see your backside. I wonder if all these women who are reviewing this model of bra have actually turned around to see what their back rolls look like. I am basically a pear shape, so back rolls are not normally a problem for me...until I put this bra on! The band that goes around the body is made of very thick. tight corset material....like the kind they use for girdles.  So the least amount of extra flesh on your back pokes out over the top and under the bottom, accentuating your extra flesh back there. Then the cups are so stiff that when you try to cross your arm over your chest the cups push together and prevent you from fully reaching across your own body. I literally could not reach over my own breasts to grab something off the dresser! This is one of the most uncomfortable bras I have every tried. I am sending it back after 3 trys in 3 different sizes.
