Review on DELIMIRA Coverage Minimizer Underwire Support Women's Accessories by Brooke Gill

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent low profile bra but with caveats for big breasts

First I had to return the bra 3 times because the sizing charts on the manufacturer's website are ridiculously wrong. Judging by the measurement, I had DD. Wow I was a size H so ignore those size charts and ditch the standard US bra sizes. The bandwidth sizes are also close to the US standard, but about one standard deviation smaller. I usually have 36, but here I had to buy 38. On the website I had 34DD, which was absurd. You should have seen the look on my face when it arrived and I knew right away it wasn't going to fit. However, the 38H did. I'm usually 36-38 or H/I/J for most brands. So pluses. This is a great bra if you want to get rid of wrinkles. I have many professional silk blouses and I CANNOT wear lace underneath or it will show. It also comes in many neutral colors that are great for this purpose. The shoulder straps are really thick which makes them difficult to hide in tank tops but very comfortable in all other types of tops. The back strap is quite strong for a bra in this price range so most of the support comes from there and not through the straps. The bra (once I get the right size) actually closes in the middle, which is rare for me unless I'm spending over $50 on a bra. I also don't have the unattractive love handles that develop when your bra doesn't fit and pushes breast tissue out where it should. This was important to me because I want to eliminate lines and there's nothing to indicate where your bra straps are like a little roll of fat just below your bra band. The disadvantages do not outweigh the advantages, but you should be aware of this. First, the cups are very tight. Anything below a moderate scoop neck shows the bra. I prefer a little less coverage to wear high necks. Second, the cups have no support other than the belt, straps, and boning. If you want your chest to be high and firm, you'll have to spend more. It certainly lifts more than no bra, but with larger breasts you'll still sag a little more than with a firmer cup bra. This isn't a problem for me with looser and more professional blouses, but I don't like looking a little "sloppy" in tighter shirts. buy it again But I paid $26 for it so the cons are pretty reasonable for the price considering I have large breasts which makes buying a bra quite a hassle. It matches the type of shirt I need it for. But if you have full breasts and want a bra that goes with almost anything, you'll need to look elsewhere and spend more.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No result
