Best fitting everyday underwire bra for the large cup

Poor Qualtiy
I have used these bra's for 5+ years and they have lasted with regular hand washing and wear. I wanted to replace some of the aging ones so ordered a new one only to be very disappointed. The quality is NOT what it was 5 years ago. I read some of the reviews about this so ordered just one to before I got more. The one arrived and the straps were sewn crooked and the quality of the garment was not what it used to be. It is so sad that something I have depended on for years has changed so dramatically. It WAS one of the most reliable undergarments I owned and now I have to seek out another brand. I did not mind paying the steep price for what I have had but refuse to pay it for what it is today.

Best bra ever for super large chests! (38HH)
Wow. When you hear reviews for "large breasted" women and they're DD, you're just not sure if that's going to translate into a HH. At some point it seems that properly supported breasts can be large enough that the amount that they extend out from your ribcage causes so much strain on your shoulders and back that it's ridiculously difficult to find a bra that both supports you and doesn't press down too hard on your shoulders. I typically find that bras fit into one of 3 categories for me: A). The bra doesn't come in my size. Or even close to my size. B). The bra fits, but "supports" by binding them super tightly (sports bra type bra, not comfortable for everyday wear). C). They are touted as comfortable, everyday bras but lend virtually no support to enormous breasts (though possibly would do the trick for a DD). This is the first bra I have found to both fit AND be super comfy AND be supportive without binding. The material is soft, the shoulder straps are thick enough to be comfortable, and the material has just enough to stretch to hold the girls up while still letting them breathe. Thank you, thank you, Anita!!

Finding the right bra is a game of risk versus reward!
I am always nervous about trying on new bras but I was utterly relieved and thrilled when this fit perfectly. It's incredibly comfortable, the fabric is soft and the bra has a bit of stretch to it. It's practically seamless throughout the entire thing especially on the cups which is what I wanted!The straps are wide enough and comfortable so there won't be any digging in and the cups provide the right amount of coverage. Great support and lift, I am very pleased with this purchase and so glad I have yet another great bra goto when I need to replace this. Finding the right bra for someone like me is always a challenge because I am petite but "blessed" with a large bust, thanks genetics, so it is often a very frustrating endeavor. When I find one that fits and is comfortable, it's like christmas!Now, for my one and only complaint. The band rolls up, just a bit but it does, immediately. If you have even a bit of pudge around your upper torso, this is probably a thing that will happen. It's not that bad and doesn't hurt or seem to otherwise interfere with anything, it's just an annoyance.

Holy bullet bra, Batman!
Ugh. I had high hopes for this one. It's not pretty, but I was looking for an everyday bra that was comfy, soft, supportive, and gave a nice, natural shape. Pretty, too, would make it the holy grail...but I was willing to just get close. Well....it was a miss. I ordered a 34G, which should be the right size, and I think it was - but the shape of it and the fit were not good. The cups were pointy! I filled them out, and I was dangerously close to spilling over, so I know the size was not too small. But who wants pointy, 50's-esque boobs?? The gore laid flat, so that was good. But the band felt....kind of compressive. Not "tight" in the classic sense (as if I needed a larger band size), but like it was squeezing me. Hard to explain. It also seemed to pull my boobs out to the sides. And I tend to LIKE good separation, but this was extreme! UGH is all I can say. Returning this pronto. :(. The search for the "Holy Grail" continues.

I've bought these bras in the past and loved them. Comfortable
I've bought these bras in the past and loved them. Comfortable, supportive, and wore well. When I decided to replace them, I went with the same bra- makes sense, right? But: the quality of these bras was significantly lower than that of those I bought four years ago. Wearing them the same way, washing and handling them the same way, all three of the underwires poked out in less than a year.I'm very disappointed- I liked the way the bras fit, and they're expensive enough that they're a fairly major investment, but having an underwire pop out when the bra is still basically new means that they're no longer worth the money.

I have six of these bras!
I think I have six of these bras - I really love them. They fit great and are very comfortable.Anita makes my favorite bras - hands down. I really wish that they'd put out additional - fun - colors, though! As it is, it seems like even a plain white is hard to come by.Part of the reason this bra fits well and feels good is that there's stretch in the fabric of the cup and in the straps. This probably reduces the support, for example over a 3-part cup with non-elastic straps, but I still feel the support is much better than most other bras I've tried.

Mis-sized?
I have several of this bra and was really excited when I saw it on line. It is one of the most comfortable and best fitting bras I own. I generally have to get this from a lingerie store an hour away and my size is so popular that it is generally back-ordered. I was careful to order the same style in the same size, in two different colors. I was really shocked and disappointed when they arrived. The band of the bra could not have been a 36 by any stretch of the imagination. Normally I have to use the 2nd or 3rd hook on the 36. This one I could barely hook it in the 1st set of hooks and it was extremely uncomfortable. The cup size was a joke... it was about 2 cup sizes too small. I pulled out the last bra I bought from the lingerie shop a couple of months ago to compare the sizes and make sure I had ordered the same thing. The tags were identical but the difference in the size of the bras was noticeable. Perhaps these bras were just mis-sized. In any event, I guess this means I'll have to go back to the lingerie shop to buy my bras.

Well Designed & Comfortable Bra
I've been wearing this design bra for eight years & have it in black, flesh & white. It's comfortable, the fabric is very soft & I like the wide straps. I always handwash so they have lasted extremely well. Years ago I went to a large London store to be fitted for a bra, I was told I was 34E. Eight years ago I bought a dress for a special occasion but none of my bras looked good with it. I went to a lingerie shop & was told that I was wearing the wrong size bra, I was 32 not 34 & my cup size was H not E. Make sure that you wear the correct size. This is a very good price, I paid more eight years ago.

Wire came out
Really like the bra, good fit and supportive however this is the second one I’ve bought this year. The first one the wire came out after 3 months & it was replaced by seller, now the same has happened to this one. Not great quality in that respect, especially as it is an expensive bra to buy. I would expect this priced bra and otherwise good quality to last years rather than months, so disappointed.

Good quality, shame about the poor sizing
While the bra looks to be of good quality both in terms of the material used and the manufacture it is not true to size at all - the band size is great, however the cups appear at least two sizes smaller than the stated size. Which is a shame as it looks like it would have been exactly what I was looking for in an everyday bra had it actually fit. If you can get the right sizing it's probably a good buy.

Excellent bra
Design is really good. Even unwired, it doesn’t ride up at back.They are expensive bras, but having fresh bra everyday I find they last at least 2 years, and elasticity remains good. They go in WM on gentle hand wash cycle in lingerie bag, and dry naturally. Apparently it is the bacteria from one’s skin that causes deterioration of the elasticity of bra.

Great simple design and reasonably priced
By far my most comfortable bra purchase. As a 30F i have found it difficult to find comfortable everyday support for my shape before as the backs are usually too big and the cups small plus the straps dig into my shoulders. This was not a problem here and i was not left wity sore shoulders and felt i could breathe easily as it was not wired. Great design job. My only critique is this bra is not the cheapest in the cup sizes over D and that is very disappointing
