LEADING LADYBrigitte Full Coverage Wireless Bra - Molded, Padded, Seamless Bra

Finally a bra that doesn't show everything through my t-shirts. I am a 42 B and have been looking for a long time for a bra that doesn't show my "women parts" through my clothing. I was really expecting it to not fit well at all because all the others I have tried on in various stores the cups were too low cut for me, too tight and uncomfortable. This covers beautifully and while the band could be a tad bigger, it stretches and is not tight nor do I have "three sets" of boobs, come on now, ya all know what I am talking about. I plan on buying a whole lot more. Most comfortable bra I have ever worn.

It's always hard to find bras with a small cup and larger band size, so I was excited when I spotted this one. Ever in search of a decent bra that fits properly, and after reading reviews that said the cups ran large and the band ran small, I decided to go out on a limb and order one. To be sure, I took my measurements, and by normal sizing, I need a band of 40 in an A -almost B- cup. And that has pretty much been my size for over 10 years. I can and do wear a 40B in some bras (namely underwire, stretchy fabric ones without the padding), but a formed B cup is a little too big- it gaps. So, with the band size reported to run small, I upped from my usual 40 and ordered a 42. I was shocked.. the band was still way too small. I added a bra extender just so I could try it on, and the cups were a perfect fit, but even with a 2" extender it was still way too tight. I removed the extender, laid the bra out flat to measure it and it was barely 32" across! I returned it, and while I want to reorder in a 44 or a 46, they're more expensive, go figure! Plus, I'm worried that the straps will be too far apart and wind up slipping off my shoulders. While the bra appeared well made, I had to take off 1 star for the outrageous discrepancy in the band size. I feel bad for people who order this bra, but do not have the option of free return shipping with Amazon Prime Membership. If you find yourself in that boat I strongly encourage you to contact the seller to resolve the issue. It's not fair to sell an item that does not meet a universal sizing standard. I did go ahead and order their "Underwire Padded T-shirt Bra' in a 44A. I'll review it on that page when it arrives in a couple of days.

I bought this same Leading Lady bra (although larger) when I was 63 pounds heavier, and was very happy with it. To ensure a good fit for my new size, I carefully measured, and although my band measurement was 38", I ordered a 40 A, just to be safe. My previous size was 46 A, 4 1/2 years ago and 63 pounds heavier. When I put this bra on, it was EXTREMELY small! Both the cup size AND the band. It was so tight, I questioned if going up to a 42B would even be sufficient. So I measured the circumference of this new bra -using the outer hooks - and it was less than 33"! The bra doesn't have enough stretch to comfortably encircle a 38" chest - let alone the 40" chest for which this bra is labeled. My old 46 A bra's cups are currently too large. (Not unexpected) But why are the cups of the 40 A - just 3 sizes down - so much disproportionately SMALLER?!! To make things worse, I got busy and forgot to return the bra, until past the return deadline. So now I am stuck with this bra that I couldn't possibly wear unless I lost at least another 25 pounds or so. Leading Lady makes nice quality bras for those of us who are unusual sizes - but it doesn't help us if the sizing/quality control isn't consistent. It's the reason I ordered inexpensive lower quality bras for the past 4 1/2 years instead of continuing to get Leading Lady. I previously had problems with inconsistent sizing between your different styles. And although I ordered a style which previously worked for me - apparently that didn't matter.For comparison, I went out to a store and tried on some bras. (About 12 different styles) Obviously they don't have 40A; the closest I could find was 38B. In general, the band was a little snug and the cup either fit or was a little too big. My final analysis: the sizing of your 40A is far too small.

I always knew I was an "A" cup even though I needed a large band size. Because "A" cups are not sold in stores in larger sizes, I bought 38B padded bras (to hide all the empty space) & used bra extenders. The bra extenders meant the straps constantly slipped down because the straps were now too near my shoulders.In January, I had had enough. I decided go to make a trip to a bra specialty store, "Wizard of Bras," bite the bullet & pay for a good bra. They measured me above my breasts & under my arms (surprise) to determine my band size correctly, 42. But the sales person kept bringing me 40Bs. The cup still puckered. Apparently, even they didn't have my size in an "A" cup.Back to Amazon... I found this returnable style in a Nude 42A for $38. It fits perfectly. Nothing fancy, but there are no more puckered cups. The straps stay put since I no longer need bra extenders. It is comfortable & naturally shaped. It is lined enough to prevent show thru. The only negative is that the straps sometimes show if I wear a wider neckline top. (But in nude, it's not that bad.) I was so happy, I purchased 3 more today after wearing it for a month. To my surprise it was now only $27. (What's up with those on again/off again price changes? At least this time it was in my favor.)PSI tried 2 other 42A bras from Amazon which I didn't like as well... Amoena Women's Rita Wire-Free with Coolmaxa Pockets Bra, Nude, 42A, & The Perfect "A" Bra- Specifically Designed for A cups sizes 38 to 58, Taupe, 42A. The Amoena bra was not comfortable at all. The Perfect "A" bra was OK, but more heavily padded & stiff. It was not nearly as comfortable. The free return policy on these styles permitted me to get more of the bra that actually fit.

I gave it two stars because the pattern is lovely, but the cups are HUGE!!!!!!!!!! Way to big! Too bad, as I was looking forward to having this :-( Have to return.

Encontré una buena opción para mi talla (42). Es un bra cómodo y realza bien la figura sin deformar. Muy recomendable

great bra!! Just a bit to big for me!!!

I require a larger width than I usually wear. Sending this one back and reordering a size up.

Nothing wrong with the product but the wrong size was sent (not sure if my error or not)
