Rating: - Deteriorating quality
I have worn this style for many years. The quality has deteriorated in the last 3 or so years. I am looking for something that fits as well. I maybe found it,

I'm glad I read the reviews before I made the purchase so I bought one size larger than I normally wear. If you wear a 36D go for a 38DD and you will get a nice fit. The bra is quite attractive and comfortable but I have to get accustomed to the under-wire. I'm not accustomed to them so I feel it if I'm wearing the bra too long. It is a nice fit under clothes.

This is the 5th bra (same bra being sold) I have bought in the past few years and I love the bra. I am a 38dd and most bras make me look like I have 2 watermelons. I love the fact that the bra actually makes you look smaller and firmer, not to mention a sexier cleavage. I have not had sizing problems like other reviews I have read. I feel the reason why in some cases were there are problems with sizing is that the bras are made of a lacey material and there is no give like other spandexy bras, washing and hang drying is a must. I must add being the bra is not as stretchy the support is excellent!

Yes this bra has changed. Can't even remember the first one I bought eons ago. The original number was 35964 (Yes I still wear one of the old ones!). But the fabric now is lighter and the wire does poke under the arm. I found a little silicone pad that I slip into the cup when I want to prevent "show through" and am working on an ultrasuede cushion for under the arm. The fact that I would bother with all that just shows how well the darn thing fits me and my one shoulder lower than the other. It minimizes in the right places too, pushing side spread forward where I prefer it. Sure would like to find that blue one on the model. Never seen any but basic colors.

Thank goodness I found this at Amazon! I moved to the Caribbean 7 years ago and brought 4 of these with me. With a very active life in this tropical climate, they were perfect. Just the right amount of support and quite comfortable. The first thing I did a few years later, on my first trip back to the States...was look for more! Now they are truly falling apart, but I say many years of hard use means they held up extremely well. I've tried many others but cannot get the fit as I get from these. I range from 38C to D and only once did a wire poke through.
The antique beige works well, even under white linen shirts, and the tapestry design is smooth enough to work under quite thin fabrics. I'm not sure what people mean about "show through" as I teach...and am concerned about modesty, of course. Anyone who is full-figured and wants a great bra...this is it! (But save some for me.)
