QT Intimates Women's Molded Strapless Convertible Underwire Bra - Seamless Support for Wedding Dresses, Evening Gowns & Special Occasions

I just got this bra yesterday and wore it today. Let me first say that I took it out of the package and it the cups looked huge! DO NOT LET THAT STOP YOU FROM TRYING IT ON! It fit perfectly! The cups are just a little padded and kind of molded to stay up . The bra is nicely constructed. It's sturdy and has a nice weight to it. it's not flimsy like most cheaper bras. The only thing that I had an issue with is that it's not as supportive as I thought it would be. It is one of the most supportive strapless bras I have ever bought which is nice, but I was hoping for a little more. I mean, what more can you ask of a strapless bra? WIth the straps however it fits great! The straps help with that last little bit of support needed. I have found this bra true to size. I wear a 38D or a 36 DD depending on different brands but I ordered this in a 38 D and it fit great. It is a little tight upon first using it, but new bras are supposed to be pretty snug where only a few fingers can fit underneath and not be stretched out. Another thing that I liked were all of the hooks provided. I'm sure the bigger you are the more hooks they provide, so with this particular bra it has 6 rows of hooks with 4 hooks on each row. Overall this bra is a great buy, especially for the price. I would purchase this again!The bra is nice. I ordered in the mocha color that is a nice tan color.Unfortunately, it's HUGE. I wear a size 40DDD at Lane Bryant so I figured that would be a reputable size source. When I got this bra in the mail I laughed when I opened the box. I mean, my girls are big...but not that big. I'm going to return it and try a 40DD. Maybe even just a 40D... I'll update when I get the new one.The picture I shared compares the Lane Bryant 40DDD with the QT 40DDD.I would recommend ordering a cupsize or two smaller if you wear a DDD.The photo compares my Lane Bryant size 40DDD with QT's 40DDD. You can see how much larger the cups are.EDIT: I tried the next size down, 40DD and it was still too big. I returned both the 40ddd and 40DD and ordered the 40D. 40D fits great!I recommend ordering a size or two down when ordering this product.It's a nice, comfy bra that comes with two sets of straps; one to match the bra, one clear. I'm so glad I finally have a strapless bra that actually holds the ladies in place!In my research on Google it seems that a bra should last at least a year if you take care of it properly. That said, I only hand wash my bras and I do not put them in the dryer. Due to poor quality I have purchased this same bra from this company, 3 times this year! I will NOT be buying any more from this company!!!! I first purchased this bra February 21st 2016 and by April, the under wire came loose and was jabbing me in the side....So on April 29th, 2016 I purchased another bra to replace that one and I figured anybody could have a bad day. So I gave the company another chance. By September, same thing, under wire came loose poking me in the side and on September 16th I purchased yet another bra. Same thing just happened to me just now and here it is November.... These bras just seem to get lousier and lousier....This one barely lasted two months. I will not be buying any more. The workmanship is just terrible. It's a shame, because these bras do support me very well and it's hard for me to find a bra that really fits me because of my large size, but if they break within a couple of months of use that's just not a deal. While I realize the bras cost less than $20 and I know they say you get what you pay for, I also know that Hanes made a bra very similar to this a couple ago that they have since discontinued and it was priced about the same and you get get those at Walmart... I love those bras and they were perfect for me, I was disappointed when they stopped making them and this bra was the closest I could find to replace them.... What a disappointment something as simple as wearing a bra has to turn into a big Fiasco just because of shoddy workmanship. But this is just too much, 3 bras in one year? I think not. You can't leave a review without at least highlighting one star so that's what I did. But if it was up to me there would be no stars. This is just poor.I am usually size 30ddd which is very hard to find with a reasonable price. Sometimes, I search for 32dd and hope I get lucky. For this bra, my approach worked.I compared this to a 65$ bra I had in 30ddd (I got this in 32dd for around 18$). The band of this bra ran way smaller than my old bra so I would say the band runs smallThere is a layer of cushion inside the bra which makes the stuff go up and creates a cleavage that I don't like.I did not expect to find them inside the bra since for a dd cup you don't want to share the space with any sponge, it is already packed here.But, I like the way this bra shapes. My old 30ddd bra pushes the stuff to the side, whereas this one pushes them to the front.Looking from the side in the mirror, it definitely does not minimize any thing.The cups are cotton and very soft and the bra breathes well. I decided to keep it since it was worth the price. I liked that it came with clear straps as well as the regular straps.
