I have been looking for a couple of months for a new bra to replace the RealFit Bra from Jockey (discontinued???!!! C'mon!). I am 5'2" ,36DDD , 145 # and short waisted. I need something to stay in place and upright so I have appearance of shape without too much ooh la la. I work as a chef so my bra has to have the following: full figure cover enough not to show with a medium cut v neck shirt, sturdy fabric, straps and fasteners, minimizer, and back smoother. Also, it has to have decent nipple coverage since I am in and out of a 36*F walk in. As stated, I am full figured so my bras are more functional medical devises rather than lingerie. This bra has everything and the price is right. Amazon has more cup size selection that Macy's, JCPenny's, and Kohls, although I did try on the Vanity Fair brands to learn my band measurements. I just bought it so the true test will be in 3 months. I intend on hand washing it. I intend on buying more since I am in trauma mode from the 30+ bras that I have been trying on. Hope this helps and good luck bra shopping!
