LEADING LADY Molded Padded Seamless Underwire Full Figure Bra, BlackBerry Wine, 48D

So disappointed! I only wore this bra once and the underwire has come out. I can't send it back because of their no return policy if undergarments have been used.

Horrible. Ugly and *GIANT* cups. This bra in nude looks like something you would have issued to you after surgery at the hospital. The clasp in front is like 2" long and the straps are too thick. ARGH! OK, here's my dilemma, I can't be alone on this size issue I am facing. I am 5' 11", wear a 16-18 in tops, have a wide back and wear a B cup. My problem is I need a large band but a small cup. I ordered a 48A with high hopes. I continue to find the cup size on bras goes up proportionately to the band size, so when I order a B cup with a wide band I get anything from a C to a DD in cup size which will simply not work for us B cup gals. This bra was no exception. The B cup fit like a D or DD and had a lot of extra room at the top of the cup on my frame. I have attuned to there being a large and underserved population of women who are plus size but don't have large breasts who seem relegated to sports bras as there are literally no bras manufactured to fit these proportions. How is it possible that if the average woman in this country is a 16-18, that there are so few bras with small cups? This bra is super ugly and with so much fabric at the top of the cup, this could never be an A or even a B cup. Does anyone have any recommendations for a 44 or 46 B bra that is also pretty?

OMG! LOVE LOVE LOVE this bra! I'm a short fat lady w/little boobies, so it's really difficult to find a bra large enough to fitaround me and yet have a cup size that truly fits *my* cup size. The straps are comfy and will hold up/in my little tiny boobies. And the underwire doesn't cut into or rub my underarms. I'll definitely be buying more of these.

Hey all,So I read just about every review about this bra to see what is up. I FRIGGIN' HATE BRAS so much, not to say that I like going bra-less, as that is a worse alternative. I have just been tortured with bras that suck my whole life. I have tried SO MANY bras. So here is the story. I have been wearing Victoria's Secret for a LONG time, and a few Soma bras. I always have to spend at least $50 for a bra that comes close to fitting. I have been measured, I know what they say my size is. Last time I got bras I was a 36DDD/E, but I have put on some pounds. Lately, the top of my breasts like to just kind of ooze out over the bra cup, which is just about the most uncomfortable and unattractive thing I think that a professional woman might experience. Also, the thin straps LITERALLY (and I mean literally), dig into my skin in the cradle of my shoulders - you know, right where the collar bone (clavicle) meets the top of the arm bone (humerus) and the shoulder bone (scapula) to make your shoulder joint. Because of this, I have TERRIBLE neck, shoulder and back pain ALL the time, and my skin is usually chaffed. And I am not exaggerating when I say I feel like I am tortured.Well VS doesn't make a larger size (even though when it comes to fabrics, the NAIL IT for comfort). I figured I would try out some online orders, since I have no other options here in the middle of corn country. After reading the reviews and taking measurements, I decided to order 2 of each in 2 sizes: 38F (because the review said the cups run big) and 38G (what I measured as). As I expected, the 38G I am sized for is actually too large in the cup, but the 38 band size is a little snug (I hate having to use the last clip). The F cup fits great, but again the band is a little tight for my preference. For the most part, the cup feels great and the straps feel pretty good, but the band feels really awful. It is made with a scratchy material that was very uncomfortable at the bottom and sides, especially below my arm pits. Also, they used too much fabric below the underwire, so it rolls up under and pinches the skin under my breasts. I still did get slight marks from my shoulders after wearing the 38F for a whole day, but I did not feel near the pain that I did with my old, smaller bra.I will say that I am impressed with the cup design and coverage. A++ there. I do love the way that it lifts and holds everything in place. I did not get the fluff over the top, or out the side by the armpits, or even the "back-boob" that I usually get with bras. The design, other than too much fabric under the cups is excellent. I am just really disappointed that the fabric is so uncomfortable.I have YET to find a single bra that meets 4 simple criteria:1. Fits the cup (and holds them in place)2. Doesn't itch or pinch3. Doesn't create awkward shapes (back-boobs, side boob, weird pointy or wrinkly cups)4. Doesn't dig into my shoulders.I will say that this bra easily meets 1 and 3, and partially meets 4, but is a total flop on 2. Also, I marked that this fits "somewhat large," as I measure as a 38G, but the F cup fits better (38 is a little bit tight, but not terrible).I would say that if you are slimmer in the upper belly and underarms, like the lovely model, it will probably be a better fit than what I have, as I am carrying some extra cushion in those areas that might contribute to the pinching. So, I will be sending 3 bras back, and keeping the one that I wore - it still is more comfortable than my old ones at least, and I don't have any boob-seepage in front of my students.Anyone with similar expectations have any suggestions?

I have been buying this style of Leading Lady bras for years in every color and pattern offered. I have loved the fit and the style and the colors. I have always bought the same size. In the past year the size is suddenly about 2 1/2 - 3 inches too short! At first I thought maybe it was just the beautiful electric blue that was the problem, and it might be because it was manufactured in a different area (Pakistan, India?), but I just received two bras, white and beige, and they're both way too short. I'm still wearing exactly the same size bra, but the new ones don't fit. Where is the quality control?

I am very large breasted and these bras fit the best and give the best support of all the numerous bras I've owned. The straps stay on the shoulder and the bra keeps me lifted, which is no small feat. The cup is smooth and doesn't have a lumpy look under my shirt. This is the only bra I buy. Though the word good seems like an oxymoron when in conjunction with bra, a torture devise, I have to say these are good bras.

I got this bra because I sized myself and I got a bra size you don’t see in stores. I have a small chest but am more on the heavier side. So I need a large band with small cup size. I ordered a 44 B and it was terrible. I’ve never seen a 44 but I know what a 40 is like and this was still snug. The tag even said it was a 44 B. And there is no way it was a B cup. Had to be a D at least. Plus it came in a little bag package and the padding was folded and bent so it would have not been smooth had it actually fit me. Will be returning.

I wear a 40DD and somehow mistakenly ordered a 44C… I never bothered to look at the size until just now because I wanted to order another bra because I am pleased with the comfort of this bra. That being said, the sizing is way off on this bra (I've been professionally measured a few times), but I'm not complaining because it is very comfortable and I've been searching for years for the perfect bra and this one is close. My only complaint about this bra is the sides. They roll down, it needs more support on the sides. If you have some side fat, it will eat the bra. If they put more support on the sides, I'd order enough bras to last me the rest of my life.
