Way too thick. I bought this to go under a bridesmaid's dress and it was just way too thick. Instead of pulling you in it actually expands you! My dress was a little big and this thing made it impossible to zip! I bought a regular Wacoal strapless instead which worked out perfectly, but this was a waste of $$$.

The pros:
-Extremely fast shipping (3 or 4 days faster than what Amazon predicted)
-Great value - this was $30 cheaper than the same one I saw at David's Bridal
-Terrific quality - this is a nicely made product, it's not cheap or poorly constructed
-Comfortable both to sit and stand in

The cons:
The sizing is a bit odd. I'm a 34C (have been properly sized) and all of my undergarments are a 34C, so that is what I ordered. When I first went to try it on, I thought it was an A. You have to work it, to make it sit a little lower than what you are used to, then lean forward and get your chest into the cups just-so. Once you have done that, it will fit, support you, be comfortable, and be flattering. If you don't have it at the right level, it bulges, pinches in places, and has you spilling out. I could see this being a problem for women, especially those with "in between" sizes.

Additional comments:
I would definitely recommend trying it on with your dress, too. I bought this to wear with my wedding dress and made sure to wear it to my fitting. It fit beautifully underneath - I had a saleswoman AND the seamstress ask me if I was wearing a bra b/c neither could see it.

I'd also like to note that it does come down pretty far in the back. They have left you quite a bit of room to be able to wear this with low-cut and strapless dresses without it showing.

I usually hate strapless bras, bathing suits, shirts, dresses, etc. because I find them uncomfortable. They fall down and you are constantly tugging them up. Because this goes down and hugs your torso so snugly, it STAYS put. There is absolutely no adjusting or sagging. Where you've strapped it, is where it stays. I love knowing that my wedding night I can dance and twirl the night away without any worry of constantly adjusting and pulling up.

I did want to add that the sizing is a bit odd. You may want to try this one on before getting it. I am generally a 36B to a 34C, but in this one the 36B left a giant gap between my breasts and the actual cups. Turns out that 36A and 34B are about the same- and I haven't been able to squeeze into an A since junior high! The underwire and cup seem to go down with the sizing exponentially.

This will keep you sucked in but it was way to thick and bulky to wear under my dress, I ended up buying another plain strapless Wacoal bra.

I must have tried on 100 bustier-type bras to go under my wedding dress and this one is by far the best. It's seamless, doesn't make any weird wrinkles when you sit or bend, and it's comfortable.

I was going to purchase this at a bridal store, but found it here for way less. the one that I tried at the store seemed to be a little 'stiffer' and held me up better, but this one will work great with my wedding dress

I bought this bra to go underneath my bridesmaids dress. It was by far the most painful thing EVER. By the end of the night I had huge welts in my back from the side wires digging in to me. The support was wonderful though. Beauty is pain I guess!

Great bustier for every brides, perfect size, no boning in front so it gives a smooth look. The back is quite low so perfect for my dress. It also gives a bit of lift to my breast. The only thing that I don't like is the padding on the breast area is a little bit dented, maybe because of the shipping, so it's not too smooth. But it's not really visible though.

This is the exact same brand and item they try to get you to purchase with your wedding dress at the bridal store. Only this one is cheaper. Worked great under my wedding dress, and held its shape very well. The best part of all, I looked alot slimmer while in it.

I wore this under my wedding dress. I tried on a few bustiers, but this is the only one that was comfy and also got the job done. I like that it is seamless, and also that it is longer in front (I am 5'2" to 5'3" and it fit well over my hips).
