As a 34D, I find it difficult to find a good bra at an fordable price in a regular department store. Seeing this 4-way convertible bra on the free assignment list enticed me to try it out. Boy was I happy that I did.

For those unfamiliar with the "convertible" bra, the straps are removable by hooks and can be worn 4 ways: halter, criss-cross, regularly vertical, and strapless. The bra is lined on the inside with gel strips that allow for an non-slip feature while wearing it strapless and creates a more comfortable feel against the skin. In addition, the cups are padded but not overly padded to make it look or feel bulky. It is fitted with an underwire that helps with a much needed and appreciated lift to the breasts, thereby creating an appealing cleavage. The 3 level back hook closer allows you to adjust the tightness, keeping the breasts tucked in so you don't feel like you're falling out while bending over or during rigorous physical exercise (besides wearing it during sex).

I have not had success with strapless bras in the past. When I wore it strapless, it didn't lift as much and I was a bit self conscious about falling out, but it surprisingly held up. While wearing the straps criss-cross, there was additional support keeping my boobs firmly tucked in, which I found very helpful in my constant bending and stooping I do at work. My boyfriend wasn't to thrilled about that because he likes them to be tangible at all times in case he wants to play with them. Also, wearing the straps allowed for a fantastic lift making me feel the possibility of a surgical lift is not necessary for another 10 years.

The only real flaw I found was that it didn't fully cover the breasts. I have some spillage on the sides. However, it's not so significant that I can't wear it or it even looks funny. It eventually evens out if I move them around enough.

As far as washing, like any piece of lingerie, wash cold, delicate cycle and line dry. At the end of the day I can confidently recommend this bra to anyone demanding comfort and versatility with any wardrobe. Whether support for a nice party dress, every day t-shirt look, or something besides a sports bra that can easily stretch out to work out in, this is a great bra to have.

By far one of the best bras I've ever worn. The versatility of the straps is perfect for any wardrobe, and the soft gel lining prevents you from having that "OMG! Her boob just fell out on national TV" moment. Totally worth getting.
