Not as pretty as pictured
Date:May 17, 2012
True to size and true to color, as I purchased the beige; however, the lace does not stay up beyond the bandeau very well, so the underside is evident .... and not so attractive. I cancelled my order for the pink one as a result.

still need a bra with it
Date:May 2, 2012
This bandeau bra is so much better than the boob tube which creates a funny squished look. However, for larger busted gals you will still need to wear a bra.

Beautiful bra
Date:April 25, 2012
As with all Soft Surroundings' (SS) products, this bra is well made and comfortable. It does run small as compared to other SS products, so just order a size larger.

Not what I really wanted
Date:April 24, 2012
I was expecting more like something I can wear under my sweats and pjs before I go to bed after I shower but this doesn't stay up well without the straps and the straps are in strange locations. The straps can be moved to really close together or right under your armpits which is very painful. I might try moving the strap holders but that's so much work I might just forget it. Would not have bought it if I had tried it on at a store first.

Tough to get right size
Date:April 16, 2012
I ordered this cute item to wear under many tops and dresses in both brown and cream. The brown arrived 1st in a M and fit very well. The cream was on backorder and arrived 2 weeks later. It was so small in M I almost could not get it on. I sent it back for a L and it was much too large. The sizes and cuts are different from color to color. If I had lots of time I may have reordered the M again to see if it was just the one but I had to walk away, darn it. The brown is very cute. I had planned on getting several colors but experimeted on just the two.

too tight!
Date:April 7, 2012
It was far too tight and I, only, weigh 204 lbs.! I am sending it back and, also, the backordered white one that I ordered when it comes.

Lace "Bra" Bandeau
Date:March 30, 2012
THis is probably a great product, but I was too full busted and just wasn't a good fit for me. Unfortunately it had to go back, BUT I'm thrilled with my soft sleeved tops and top cover..as shown on the cover of the last catalogue.

not for real woman
Date:March 29, 2012
This a very high end bra very danity and delicate its sizing is deceiving...so if you are not a "skinny minnie " as Adele would say give it up... sizing done by the wt. on this item is very inaccurate..otherwise its beautiful
so if the bra fits wear it! I would recommend it to well a "skinny Minnie"....

Just as advertised

Bra is of good quality and was sized correctly - I purchased the Medium for my 36C chest and it is perfect. I wear it under plunging necklines where I don't want the hassle of a shell.

Incredably uncomfortable
Date:March 23, 2012
I bought a large. I normally wear a 38C. The strap hooks are not well placed, the inserts move around, and I felt like was being squeezed to death. Not a good purchase

Very Disappointed
Date:March 17, 2012
I received the item and loved how it looked. I, however, wear a 38C bra and figured the XL would be fine. It ran very, very small. It says it could fit a 42DD. I'm between a 36 & 38 and could hardly breathe with this on. I was truley disappointed.

Not happy with Lace Bras Purchased
Date:March 15, 2012
I purchased (3) laced bras (Bandeau). I ordered XL for all (3) and while each of the bras received showed an
XL label, the only bra that fit me comfortably was the beige one. The black was too small and the brown did not fit adequately. I was very disappointed as I looked forward to wearing this new style as far as my preference goes. I will not buy another bra and I really was not happy with it. In a regular bra I wear size 44B and so I did not think that I would have an issue with the merchandise

This item is beautiful, but I have to return it due to sizing. It is difficult to get on and off and is too tight.

I am a 38D. This just didn't work for me at all. However, it is very lovely and nicely made. I am sad that I had to send it back.
