These are padded bras. Not necessary for "full figured" women! I wanted a light lining not padding. Donating all that I bought and will not order again.

I bought my usual size, but he band is really tight and the cups large. The straps are so wide-set that they fall off my shoulders and I have them adjusted as tight as they will go.

Wow this fit nice but the cups where too big at the top and felt like a minimizer instead but I really liked it. I had to return it because the cups were too big but it had the right amount of foam padding and the straps were amazing! I bought the beige one and returned it but eneded up buying the one with the lace and it fit really great,

Pretty but lots of fabric making it look really thick. Bought this twice because the first time they shipped me the wrong size and I was too lazy to return it so I gave those away. The hooks on both were really difficult go close. I had to use a butter knife to pry them open so the hooks would close...Yes, you read that right and it was on both styles. The band appears tight too like maybe it is missing some fabric. Are these bras seconds or perhaps little people making larger bras and not consistent with the measurements? Not sure...and not sure I'd purchase this one again... Overall very pretty but boy, talk about extra fabric.

Bad fit. The sides and back material is scratchy. Bra fits smaller than playtex secrets bra I normally wear.

Middle part of bra where underwire meets does not lay flat against your skin and pokes out.

These have been the only bras that I can find that fit well and provide the support I need. The problem with these bras is that the underwire pokes out at the arm pit. I was told to go up in size to avoid that, so I tried that. No help. I've had to throw nearly brand new bras away (multiple bras) because of this issue. I keep buying them because I cannot find an affordable bra that provides the support I need. These bras really do provide great support! I just REALLY wish Playtex could fix the underwire poking me problem. Some do this and some don't, but I cannot determine what the difference is. I surely wish I knew what to avoid when purchasing these so I could stop wasting my money.

I normally like Playtex, but this one was all wrong. Squashed and dug in....flattened everything out...and was so uncomfortable. Highly disappointed. One plus was that the fabric was pretty. Sigh...

Not my favorite at all. It supports as long as you dont move much. Otherwise the bra pokes out at the top/bends. & if you lie down or move to much your boobs do too.

PLEASE PLEASE bring back all colors in LACE option. Please. Have you seen all the posts WISHING you would bring back this bra in the lace option??? HUNDREDS of people. WHY are you discontinuing it?!?!??!?! PLEASE I have been waiting YEARS for BLACK, WHITE, TEAL in 42DDD PLEASE. WE NEED the padding so that people can't see through tshirts and sweaters. The people who commented on it - will APPRECIATE the padding next time it is cold out and they have on a thin sweater they just don't know it yet!

Way WAY too much padding for any size other than an A or B. Perhaps giving a space/line for the actual bra style number that you are reviewing would be helpful for others and even eliminate people being upset about having to return the bra when it isn't as described, or reviewer is a smaller size.

I ordered 2 Playtex and 2 Bali bras all in the same size and the Playtex fit was too large, but Bali's fit great.

The bra that I received was too small. Honestly believe that it was sized incorrectly.

Runs small in band and cup. Glad it is not advertised as a side support bra because it has no side support. Only positive thing is the look which is somewhat flattering. Very dissappointed!

After wearing the bras I ordered over the past couple of weeks I found them to be most uncomfortable and the material and fit left me with a rash under my breasts and the straps constantly fell off my shoulder no matter how much I adjusted them.
