Aviana Women's Jacquard Softcup Bra 2353

I really like this bra! It has good support & great coverage in both the cleavage & arm pit areas to prevent me from spilling out. I was fitted for it in a bra store about a year ago & was given a 40H. I have since gained some weight & it was getting too small as well as worn out. Since the bra store I had previously been fitted at is located about 2 hours from where I live, I decided to try to figure out the size I needed on my own. I measured 52" below my arm pits & 60" across my bust. According to the chart I should order a 52H! I knew this couldn't possibly be right! There was no way the bra I was currently wearing was 6 SIZES TOO SMALL! I figured I needed to go up possibly 2-3 band sizes, so I ordered a 44K & a 46J. The bra was not available in a 44H at the time I placed my order, so I tried to adjust band sizes & cups. When they arrived, the 44K seemed too small at the band; although, now looking back, I think it might've just been different than the feel of the old worn out 40H. :-) The 46J seemed to fit well at the band, but the cups were a little too big. As I was desperate for a better fitting bra than the old worn out 40H, I decided to keep the 46J & return the 44K. After the first day of wearing the 46J, I realized the band size was too big after all, but it's still better than what I had been wearing. So I'm still not sure what size I really need, perhaps I'll try again to get a 44H. Once I figure it out though, I'll be good to go!

This is well put together and a delight to wear. One of the few styles that goes up to a large cup size. This can cover and by using the to bring the straps together in the back I get the extra lift a large pair needs. Love the flower pattern on the cups, too.

Fits comfortably over my shoulders and under breasts. It's comfortable and doesn't strain for "perky". Swinging my arms forward and back is also comfortable; no pinching between the back of the cup and my shoulders. Doesn't allow for as much separation between breasts as other bras I have tried, but more comfort overall means I would buy it, again. Marked with four stars for that.

This bra seems comfortable. I just received it, so I have yet to see how it will feel after several washings in a month or so. Perhaps I can update then.It has the typical feel of Aviana bras that I recall from having worn them many years ago. So they haven't changed much in terms of construction.This bra has a somewhat stretchy feel in the back, while being very strongly structured in the side panels. That results in a very firm, supportive feeling while wearing the bra.The cups themselves have the usual Aviana slightly odd cup shape. This one makes an attempt at being a little more rounded, but that is ruined by the support slings that are inside the cup, resulting in a flattened effect across the cleavage. Not sure how that will look under clothes, but it has a very distinct flat area that results in a dented appearance.The straps almost seem like an afterthought. They don't provide the support- the side panels and inner slings do all the heavy lifting. They are stretchy, comfortable and unnoticeable.One warning, if you are a woman who puts bras on at the waist and pulls them up, the Aviana bras are somewhat difficult to get into. The straps and side-panels fit very snugly, requiring some yoga-like ability to get your arms through.The pattern and fabric is nice. It is solid and not see-through. Very satiny too.This bra fit me a little largely, but I probably needed a J cup instead of the K that I bought. I had to guesstimate my cup size. I would say based on the feel that this bra runs pretty true to size.Overall, it's an okay bra. Not a *wonderful* bra, but I won't be returning it, despite it being a size larger than I needed (my fault, see above). It's comfortable enough, and shouldn't wind up in my not-gonna-wear-it pile.

A well-made bra for well endowed women. I have been buying this style bra for a couple years and they’re the ones that I keep coming back to for comfort and fit. I’ve tried some other bras when these are not available, but none of them fit as well as these do. These really are well designed for well endowed women.

I am so glad that Amazon has these bras. The place I usually order from, is no longer carrying my size. Being a full-figured gal, these bras are very comfortable and have no underwire. They wash well too (hang up to dry through).

I bought this hoping it would fit (impossible to find my size and suitable style) and be an easy wear. The straps do not shorten enough for any support at all. The band material is not soft enough to prevent chafing (a problem for me with very thin skin) - so I would not get another, and have it to wear on occasion, but fit for support and comfort are not suitable for me situation. I have no complaint about the quality and such for others, but straps that won't shorten more is a big drawback for me.

I had to give up my underwire bras that I got fitted for at a local shop, due to pain issues (suspected arthritis in my rib area). This fits beautiful and is extremely comfortable. I am large breasted and overweight (okay, obese) and there is no spillage - top or side - in this bra. This is one of the most comfortable bras that I've ever purchased.
