True to size.This is a totally game changer! It looks like I’m wearing a regular bra support and shape wise. I’m a 32ddd (about 5 foot 4 inches and 145 pounds) so I wasn’t optimistic when I started my search for a strapless bra. My wedding is in the month and I unexpectedly fell in love with an off the shoulder dress, but once I took the dress home I realized I was going to need to find a suitable bra. I’ve brought this brand in the past and they’ve been great, so I figured if anything would work it would be this bra. I was convinced I was going to need a partial corset with boning. Nope! This thing is pretty comfy and doesn’t fall down at all. I’ve been wearing this all day to test it out. I’m not sore at all because it is supportive and does it’s job. Expect the rib cage to be a bit tighter and less forgiving than usual,, but nothing too uncomfortable. Don’t order a size up though because that snugness is what allows it to do the job. Quality is wonderful.
