Simone PereleWomen's Caresse Minimizer

Pros:Have worn this style before. Have had several of these for a couple of years. Well beyond the lifespan of a normal bra.Great quality. Well made.Underwires are comfortable and supportive. Don't pop out like other brands I've worn. And don't dig in.Shoulder straps are very slightly stretchy but give great support and they are comfortable.I like that the closure has only 3 hooks. I am 38G and this is hard to find. Most bras in larger sizes have 4 hooks and the band is wide.This bra sacrifices nothing in support because the band is narrower.The entire bra is supportive everywhere I need it to be.The space between the cups at the front of the bra is reinforced. It hasn't shredded like on other bras I've had.Very little flab pushed out over the sides and I have flab to push!Cons - well not really but special care required:NEVER put it in washing machine, not delicate, nothing.Put in sink with cool/cold water to soak with baby shampoo. Let soak. Don't scrub, just sit. The bra fitter I originally saw said leave overnight. Having no patience for these things 4 or 6 hours seems fine.Probably was told to dry flat but having little space hung them over a hanger to drip dry. They have held up fine.Hook the backs and lie flat in a drawer, not folding cups into one another.If you like the bra and the fit invest in several or change off with other bras. If the bra is worn day after day you ruin it. I don't know why but that is how it is.I ordered this 38G to size up from the 36G I was fitted for awhile back. I put on some weight and my bras were due for replacing so tried the 38G and love it. (I am 5'8" 160 lbs. and a woman of a certain age. We are dealing with support requirements here!)There is the price. I sometimes joke that my bra is the most expensive thing I am wearing but investing in this is well worth it. I will be ordering more.Just one other thing about this style. I have found the black bras to be ever so slightly roomier than the beige ones. Don't know if this was just a fluke but thought I'd mention it.Care for them well and they are well worth the money.

LOVE these bras!!! Shoulder straps stay in place - cups are beautiful! Having had breast cancer I have 1 cup smaller than the other and this bra - there is not gap or overflow - it fits. Oh and under the arm looks great too. You may have to go up a cups size or 2 - don't give up order several sizes to get the right fit - or find someone who carries these and get sized. They are perfect for every day OR a sexy night out

When it comes to bras, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your Prince. I'm only a 34D, but add some padding and my chest enters the room before the rest of me. I've tried (seriously) at least 30 bras, all styles, sizes, prices, wired, not wired, full, minimizer...you name it. This is the first minimizer bra that (1) did not flatten me out (2) or leave me looking saggy. This lifted my breasts where they need to be and gave them a sort of cone (not pointy, just not flat) rather than flatter, rounder shape. Looks so good under clothes. The sides are high enough without being overkill, the straps are nice and wide, but not too much, and I like that it has 2 rather than 3 hooks. The lace is pretty but subtle. Not sure how this would work for larger breasts, but for me, I have found my Prince Charming!

Did I get a fake or has the quality gone down? I used to buy these with confidence. About 2 years ago the ones I bought were no longer made so I got a different version that wasn't quite as good but was livable. This time around it's so cheap and coarse and does not minimize the same way! $90??! It should've been like $15 for how they have changed their quality. Ugh.

I've worn this product for over 4 years without incident and I love the way it conforms to your body without any restrictions. It's the most comfortable brassiere ever made and I will continue to be a loyal customer!

I absolutely love these bras! Having a well fitting, supportive bra makes my day.

Beautiful & comfortable. what more can you ask?

It didn't fit really well, not happy with this product.

Ok
