This is a tough product to review. To start, it is well-made. The boning and stretch mesh feel sturdy. As other reviews have mentioned, I found I needed to go up a band size from my usual bra size, and for the sister-size I went with a cup smaller than my usual. On the right body shape, I think it would be reasonably comfortable to wear (as far as wearing something heavily boned would be). It definitely takes a second person to help put this on.The issue is that the silhouette is so strange. The boning does create a very flat front which is flattering. It creates a waist that is more up-and-down than pulled in. The cup shape looks retro - pointy and very 50s/early 60s. The cups also have a high neckline; I would not be able to wear a dress with a low neckline in this undergarment. I am tall, and I found that the waist-to-hip transition was strange. It was clearly intended to cover the upper hip, but on me the bottom of the garment wanted to sit at my natural waist.I think this garment would work for someone who is shorter than I am or with a short torso, without an extreme waist-to-hip ratio, and who is looking for a retro/vintage silhouette. The garment is well-made for the price. The issue is that the range of body types and occasions for which this would work are very few.Okay so this product isn’t awful. It’s certainly not the best for the price of it, but it’ll do. It holds up my chest in my wedding dress well, isn’t uncomfortable, and is decent looking to a point. I read the other reviews and decided to order up a band size, and down a cup size. 48C. The band is perfect. The negative part; the cups are still too big when I'm standing up. Im thinking about adding silicone padding pieces underneath my breasts to give me a little more of a lift where there is extra space (see wrinkles in front facing picture). Overall the product isn’t bad at all, and I plan on keeping this to go under my wedding dress. Take the recoommended advice from most of these reviews and order up a band size and down a cup.Little small. Wish the waist was longer.Way too small hard to put onYou will need to go down a cup size but go up a size or 2 in the band. It has to fit around your waist.Purchased this bra to wear under my wedding dress. It fits perfect for my curvy figure. It is hard to find a bra for larger sizes breast sizes and smaller waist. that fit securely. It even passed the bending over test. The ultimate test will be on my actual wedding day to see how long it will hold up.The only down side is there are so many hooks. You will need someone to help you fasten it.I ordered my normal cup size and band size. The cup size was two sizes too large, and the band was two sizes too small. This was for a wedding, I had to guess. I went down only one cup and one band size. It worked for what I needed.Con:The strapless bra was oddly shaped to say the least.Pros:The return process was easy, they exchanged with no hassle- which was wonderful. The color and style were exactly what was needed.I am very happy with my purchase! I bought this to wear under my wedding dress after already having bought another longline bra that was more expensive and did not fit true to size. It's hard finding bra in a 36 H to begin with, let alone a strapless one. The last bra was more decorative than this one, but the band size and the cup size fit smaller than they should have. This Elila longline bra however came earlier than expected, fit like a dream, holds my boobs nice and high, and does a nice job of firmly holding in your tummy without cutting off your circulation. This is an overall great buy!The D cup is not a true D cup
