Eye-catching and high sass-factor! I am a shoe-as-theater girl and always go for sky-high and outlandish. I was actually worried these would not be high enough. Bought cognac/9 and am delighted. True to size. The uncovered heel and uncovered platform are key to their durability and longevity. Unique - you will be noticed! Folks will ask to try them on! A few words of caution: The straps are very long and obfuscate the design of the shoe if you wrap them around the ankle, so I am debating trimming them. The ankle opening is wide and cannot really be cinched, or else you risk looking like a turkey leg frill. These are not delicate shoes - they require intelligent pairing with skirts so as to remain feminine and not lumberjack-stompy. Was curious as to why the black had a brown platform and heel - thus went with the cognac. If you are a shoe horse, you will like these! I keep them in heavy rotation.

Great solution to those who want to go strapless, but hate the padding and slipping of a conventional strapless bra. This one fits true to size; if you're a medium-type person, an M fits fine. Gives adequate support for A-C cups. Comfortable with a minimum of slippage due to side boning and silicone banding. Am pleased with purchase; this does what I needed it to do! Great Zappos service per usual, too!

I ordered this in Large and a Hanky Panky in both Medium and Large. I wear a 36D bra and this bandeau was too small to fit over my bra whereas the Hanky Panky Medium fit great (the HP Large was too big). I prefer the scalloped edge of the Hanky Panky over this one, too, as it looks more feminine.

The most comfortable strapless bra we have ever owned! Mom & twin daughters.

This is great for disguising lines from a strapless bra. I would have liked to have worn it alone as a strapless bra, but found that it did not have enough support without a bra underneath. I do love it, though, and do recommend it.

This Free People Bandeau is a little addictive. Looks just like the photo, I purchased mine to actually wear over a bra, but to help fill in the gaps on a few really low cut sun dresses. Although it is fitted enough I probably could wear it w/out the bra and not have it flip over or slide down. This runs small according to the FP size chart, IMO. Even sizing up to the L (36B) it feels snug. I hope they get the full array of colors offered by the designer in, they are really beautiful in person and at a great price point right now.
