Vanity Fair Women's Cooling Touch Full Figure Wirefree Bra 71355

I am a 44 DD and this bra is so comfortable I gave all of my other bras away. I normally don't buy anything without underwire but this supports me without digging in and the best part is I have no red indentations on my shoulders at the end of the day. The fabric keeps it nice and airy feeling and I don't really get underboob sweat with this bra unless it is REALLY hot. Try it I think it's worth it.

I bought this bra because it was advertised as fairly cool. I live without central AC, so that was enough to get me to order it. It fits well, it gives decent wire-free support (36C so I can't speak to larger sizes) and it is fairly light and not sweat-producing, so I'm glad I bought it.

I belong to that relatively neglected group of small breasted but large women. This is especially true in bras. This review is for women like me who have difficulty finding any bra that really fits.As a 44+ B cup there isn't a great selection and this Vanity Fair style looked like it might be a good match. With a little sewing to extend the shoulder straps about another inch it is now very comfortable with good support. I should also say that I have the dreaded "apple" body shape which exacerbates the situation. Getting a bra that works even requiring minor alterations is kind of a win.I did have a cache of bras that were almost perfect from Warners but that style has been long discontinued with no similar replacement and now my old ones are almost all worn out.Here is what I like:+ Fabric is comfortable (some stretch fabrics irritate my skin)+ Body band is pretty comfortable: does not roll or pinch+ The closure at the back is very secure!+ The cups are soft, comfortable and and only lightly padded+ Definitely good support with no underwireHere is what I don't so much:- The shoulder straps are too short and required about a 1in extension- The body band just barely fits but did not require alteration- The back closure has so many hook/loop closures it's kind of a painHere is what I'm kind of neutral about:- The shoulder straps widen at the top as if to support a double-DSomehow I think this is a great bra out of the bag for most larger women who also have larger (D+) breasts. Not so much for me out of the bag.After extending the shoulder straps by about an inch (beyond the fully extended length out of the package) this became a pretty good and comfortable bra for me. It feels like the back closure could work with fewer hook/loop closures but that's pretty minor. I'm very happy I found this bra because it can be made to work and there are so few good options for me.All that said I'm giving this bra 4 stars. In the end it's pretty good but I did have to perform some alterations. If you are a in my situation I hope this helps at least a little.

This bra is both comfortable and supportive for large bra sizes (38D), with the tiny exception: if it is hooked on the loosest hook, there is not enough fabric overlap and the hooks feel scratchy. If you size correctly and can choose the 2nd or 3rd hook tightness, you will be fine.

I really did not like this bra. It fit very weird. The cups were the right size and fit when i put it on but as soon as I started moving my breasts would gather together like a uni boob and stick out the top to form very unflattering lumps. The quality of this bra is nothing like other Vanity Fair bras I'very purchased before. I usually buy their #71380 and I love those, they have more spandex and stretch to them. The quality on this one doesn'the even come close. The material is so flimsy the shoulder straps just bunched together and it felt like the material would tear apart just trying to close it. I am a very large chested woman and this bra is just not for me. Maybe it will work better on a small chested woman. I thought this would be the same quality as the 71380 so I purchased 2 of them, I am so disappointed I spent so much money on something I can't wear.

I’ve not purchased bras online before the pandemic and candidly it’s not my preference. I strongly recommend spending time on each manufacturer’s website to learn how they do sizing— ludicrously, some makers add inches to your under (or over) bust measurements. Still others change how cup size is calculated. While this hasn’t been a huge issue in stores where the sales staff are available and knowledgeable, fundamentally it makes no sense for the customer and I believe is harmful to the industry as a whole when shopping shifts to the virtual. This bra is soft and I would love for it to have fit. The cups have too much airspace for my breasts; they’re smooth and lightly padded so would have been great under tee shirts if it fit.So I sized down one cup size— from this makers’ 42D to 42C as per their manufacturer’s size chart (for reference I’m usually a 38DDDD or F or G). From cups that were weirdly too big as a size D, the next step down to a C was weirdly too small. I love the fabric still— it’s outrageously soft and I think the cooling claim is likely accurate— however I noticed that the bra straps slide and rings are plastic. This isn’t a deal breaker necessarily (if the sucker had fit, I’d have been thrilled and kept it), however the plastic seems a bit flimsy and the thin rings through which the straps slid in back so you can adjust their length, have a diameter that is too narrow for the strap width— this means that the bras’ straps pucker there at baseline. If you’re planning to wear this under a thinner shirt, while your nipples will be nicely smooth, you’ll have funky wrinkles on your back instead. It’s too bad that fit and hardware let down a really lovely, soft fabric.

I've bought this style before and really like the fit and comfort. There isn't a lot of support, but other bras for larger bust sizes are too confining and uncomfortable especially in summer. I will be buying more of these to replace my stiffer, high-end, full-support over the shoulder boulder holders.
