Felina Marvelous Side Smoothing T-Shirt Bra, Bras for Women, Plus Size with Side Bulge Reduction

Overall pretty well satisfied so far. I wore this for the 1st time yesterday for 16 hours & even took a nap in it & it did fine. Of course it wasn't as comfortable to sleep in as my 3 year old worn out bra that is now too big, & that's a good thing. I want a new bra to be supportive. I've recently lost 40 pounds, so I knew that I needed to check my sizing. I went to the Felina website & found their sizing chart & instructions. According to their chart, after losing 40 pounds, I should wear a 40G just like the bra that I'm replacing because it's now way too big. I took a chance & the bra fits great.It does squeak a lot with every movement of the straps on the painted ring in the back just like my last 2 bras made with the same materials from another company. As the strap settles in to its permanent location it tends to squeak less for me.The foam cups do turn out a touch at the edge. I'm not sure if that is the seam or my slight overfill?I have extremely slanted shoulders and struggle with bra staps that stay in place. I chose this design because it looked like the straps sat close together in the back. While it doesn't appear that way on me as much as the models, that could be the 40 band size. However, I didn't have to adjust the straps once & they never slipped! My guess is that this bra is designed for women with sloping shoulders & the straps dig in at an angle for those with straight for broad shoulders.The one concern that I have is a quality control issue that I didn't notice until after it was too late to exchange the bra. When the threads near the hooks were clipped, the back band was clipped as well. I'm sure this will affect the longevity of the bra, & if I wasn't still steadily losing weight, I'd probably be more upset about it. Instead, I'll just stitch it up & look over my next version of this bra more closely before removing the tags. Because when I lose additional weight, I will be purchasing a smaller size of this bra!The cups have a great shape, support, & lift. I always wear an underwire, & this one isn't noticeable to me. The straps don't slip on my sloped shoulders AT ALL. The double layer back band design is very comfortable and smooths great. The band also provides some side support without getting in the way or pinching.

I wear 34G and have bought another brand recently that fit fine. This bra cuts into my full breasts and shows through the T-shirts.

I ordered 36DDD. It is pretty good, but I maybe could have gone up one cup size. Band size is ok. This product fits as expected, but the edges of the straps cut into me something fierce after a couple of hours, and the molded cups are stitched so that theyturn out slightly unless the straps are set very tightly, even though there’s no room to spare in the cups. I blame the cheese industry and the pastry industry 🤣🤣🤣 The graduated thickness of the underarms/back and criss-cross design seem good in theory, though—maybe just better for DD cup sizes and under. I was really hoping this one would be a winner, though.

I ordered this in both black and nude, size 36DD. Overall, I loved the fit and design and really wanted the bras to work. Unfortunately, they both had the same problem: the top edges of the cups pull outward from the body. In the nude bra, it was just the right cup, in the black bra it was both cups. I don't think it was a fit issue, but rather a problem with the memory foam having been molded poorly. Since I had planned to wear these under clothes, and prefer not to have a bump on my chest where the top of my bra sticks outward, I had to return them.

This is the most uncomfortable bra I've ever worn. Literally. The back isn't bad and the fabric of the cups is soft but the underwires rubbed my skin raw at my ribs. Additionally, the straps are not configured well at all. The straps cut into the skin in the front of your shoulders whenever you move your arms in front of you at all (example: when you are typing on a keyboard, when you are driving and holding a steering wheel, when you reach for something on your desk, etc.) I wore this bra one time but will never wear it again, I can't return it because I removed the tags unfortunately.

I like the side panels. I found the underwire comfortable enough to wear for 12 hours. This is the first time I've ever worn an affordable bra in my true size. Great support. Will purchase again.Update: After several washes the tops of the cups curl outward. Cup also seems too small now and I have the dreaded “4 boobs” effect. Back to the drawing board.

I love the side and back smoothing. I think you should size up one band size for comfort. I’m a DDD and I couldn’t be happier with the cups. They don’t have a bunch of padding just enough to conceal everything. Looks great in clothes.

This beautiful bra lifts and smooths the sides perfectly! This is great for larger breasts (ordered 36D). Best bra I have ever worn!
