'8276' Strapless Underwire Bustier

This bustier is perfect with the exception of one thing: You cannot sit down, bend over, lean over, think about leaning over. The boning down the front ruins it. As soon as you remotely lean forward, there is a LARGE bump protruding from your midsection. My breasts looked amazing and it slopes down beautifully in the back. Minus the tent on my stomach, i loved it. I bought this for underneath my wedding gown. The flaw is too bad to over look :( I ended up buying this one: Felina Bustier, Essential Seamless Bustier 7643. The boning is on the side, it is seamless and totally beautiful.

I am normally a 36A, but the 36B fits beautifully. A few years ago I lost 70 pounds, and gravity has taken its toll. The cups in this bustier have enough of a push-up to not only support but LIFT as well. the mesh and boning are supoortive, and it does not bite into my sides as other bustiers have. I will be wearing this under my wedding gown for the perfect shape. I looked at undergarments that were twice this price, and they did not fit or feel nearly as well. Thanks, Nordstrom, for this product!

this bustier was great at holding the chest in position (Ds) and created a nice waist conturing, but the problem for me was the lower stomach area. the boning actually caused this area to poke out, rather than doing any smoothing. i returned it. i'm disappointed that this is the only felina bustier that nordstrom carries. felina makes a GREAT bustier called "longline" i believe, that just works WONDERS! i will have to look elsewhere to purchase it though...

I bought this hoping to wear it under my wedding dress. The cups are perfect and true to size, but the boning is absolutely terrible. It extends down too far so that every time you bend it creates a big pooch on your stomach. It also seems to accentuate your shape rather than smooth it - it clings and makes my ribs look awkwardly pointy.

They fit was not right. Got the size that was recommended. Cups fit perfectly, but rather than smoothing everything out along my abdomen, the bustier seemed to accentuate every roll. Very disappointed. The young lady at Nordstrom spoke so highly of this bustier and I was really hoping it would work. Sadly, it has to go back. Beautiful piece, but not made for someone who has a little extra in the tummy area.

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.
