I've tried several strapless bras and bustiers to wear with strapless tops and this one works the best. It holds 'the girls' in place without any sag or overly pushing them out. Further it doesn't create any new bumps or rolls in your flesh where the bustier ends... smooth lines all the way. Size is slightly small: I wear a 36 bra, but found the 38 size bustier worked best with a one size smaller cup.

Fine

Bought this size and a size up, kept my regular size since the size up was too big in the cup. I was hoping this would be a little more firm or have more to "hide" my stomach area, but no. There is boning in the front, but they bend outwards when you sit almost making my stomach look larger! Not sure if I'll keep this yet.

Comfortable but doesn't suck in the tummy

I bought this hoping it would go under my wedding dress. My main concern was for it to be tighter around the tummy, but it did nothing to shape my stomach. It is comfortable, just not a great shaper if you're concerned about your stomach.

I am 5'8", 145lbs and normally wear a 36DD. I bought this bustier to wear under my wedding dress, which requires a strapless, lower backed bra. I normally wear the Wacoal red carpet strapless (which I highly, highly recommend if the height of the back is not a problem for your outfit), and this bustier was just as supportive as that bra, but had some problems that other reviewers have also mentioned:
1. It really does awkwardly bulge out when you bend over. I thought maybe because I have a very slender waist it wouldn't do that to me, but I really don't think it matters, the bustier will bulge out stiffly when you bend over. It is both unattractive and uncomfortable, because the bottom part digs aggressively into the lower belly area when the middle part bulges out.
2. It is almost impossible to fasten the hooks by yourself. I wasn't able to do it by myself, but perhaps someone with more shoulder flexibility could.
3. The cups were true to size and I felt that the band size was also appropriate, and when I was standing up straight, I felt very well supported and nipped in at the waist; a flattering silhouette.
Bottom line: This is a supportive choice for women with larger busts, sizing was consistent with bras and bustiers I have purchased in the past, the bulging weirdness was bad enough to send it back and try something else.
