Didn't work for me
I was hoping this would be the answer to my search for a supportive strapless bra, but it wasn't. The bra gave no lift/support, and the band was tight.
I just sent it back for a refund.
My search continues....

Good, but not supportive enough
I wasn't expecting too much from this bra, given that it was on such a super-special and I haven't tried this brand before. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it is! I can happily wear it all day. My only problem is that the bra is not supportive enough without the straps.

Good strapless
This is a pretty good strapless bra. It actually stays up well, and offers good support. It is very full coverage though- it won't work with plunging necklines.
I'm actually a 28f, and I ordered the 30e. I do need to wear it on the smallest hook. It's pretty true to size.

Very happy I bought this bra!
I wanted a strapless bra for my wedding. Because of my size I normally buy the longer bra instead of a true strapless. After reading the reviews, I thought I'd give this bra a try. From the moment I tried it on, I knew it was a keeper. I wore it around for several hours just running errands to see how it would hold up. It stayed up the whole time. I didn't feel the need to keep adjusting myself or that I was falling out. The only draw back is you have to really check you sizing since this can run smaller than US sizes. This has opened a whole new wardrobe of choices I always stayed away from since I have to wear a bra. I will be ordering another one in nude.

Sleek and beautiful
For a long time I have needed a light-colored strapless that didn't come up to my collarbone on the outer edges, as I have a high chest and short decolletage. This one looked fantastic but wasn't available in my exact 38G size, so I ordered a band size down intending to use an extender and just praying that the cups would run large (as cups are relative to band, so the cups of a 36G are in fact smaller than those of a 38G).
I was not so lucky, and it truly is a shame because this bra is beautiful. The construction is fantastic, the look is great, the shape is great, it was comfortable (with an extender, of course; the band fit exactly as a 36 band should around my 39 inch rib cage, so the sizing is good in that regard), and contrary to what the other reviewer said, it comes with detachable straps which can be swapped out easily with straps from other items.
It fit very much like a balconette bra, giving fantastic lift from underneath while maintaining a low line across my breasts, and a low underwire on the sides. Because my breasts are full on top as well, though, I would probably have to go up even another cup size to prevent "bubbling"/spillage. Can someone find me a 38H PLEASE?!
With such a large cup size, I was surprised to see such a thin band with only three hooks on a strapless. But I was then surprised at how much support it still offered. Plus, rather than squiggles of silicone gel like many other bras, this has flat silicone ribbons on the outer seam of the wings, which is much more comfortable and feels a lot more secure (more surface area, ultimately, to hold to).
This one is a beauty, ladies. I wish the best upon those of you that can find one in your size!
