I ordered several models of Bali bras at once.  The other bras fit me perfectly, which leads me to believe that this bra is sized a bit smaller.  It's straps and back are nicely cushioned and very comfortable as described on the product page.  And it does minimize.  However it produces the dreaded bulging sides and top.  The cups do not not accommodate my girls.  I know this is probably due to my particular figure.  ( my breast are round in shape, pretty evenly balanced.).  Hope this helps.
