FelinaMarvelous Side Smoothing T-Shirt Bra

I do like the bra. I wouldn't say I love it. But I rarely find a good fitting bra for me. It does squeak on the bra straps. I have had a few bras that did the same noise.After hand washing and fabric softener the noise goes away. I have lost a lot of weight so I have a lot of lose skin. The bra does have extra support under the arms and around the back but it doesn't cover all my lose skin. Give it a try and if it doesn't workout, send it back.

I sized up one band size based on their directions/measurements though I stuck to my cup size.Though I do not expect bras to be perfect everywhere I only end up deciding to keep a bra if 1) it’s close to perfect or 2) it’s below close to perfect, keeps me supported & is extremely comfortable whiles not being overly ugly under half my clothes.This bra did not make #1 or # 2 for me. are1) The material used at every point except the cups just wasn’t comfortable enough and2) The back smoothing was nowhere near as effective as it promised especially compared to the Leonisa bra, which I was also in the middle of trying. Just fyi the Leonisa wasn’ a perfect fit either, but won 5 stars for comfort & back smoothing. Some pros: When I first put this bra on I noticed how easily the band stretched. The cups felt full enough & fit great giving me the smooth coverage I was looking for.I know bras are in a category where our tiny body differences make or break a bra’s excellence. That said this bra may work for you especially if your skin isn’t as sensitive as mine and you’re not looking for as much back smoothing as I am. Sensitivity defined: I love my lace Glamorize bras (my favorite for fit actually) but on many days I just can’t seem to tolerate wearing them all day long.

Overall pretty well satisfied so far. I wore this for the 1st time yesterday for 16 hours & even took a nap in it & it did fine. Of course it wasn't as comfortable to sleep in as my 3 year old worn out bra that is now too big, & that's a good thing. I want a new bra to be supportive. I've recently lost 40 pounds, so I knew that I needed to check my sizing. I went to the Felina website & found their sizing chart & instructions. According to their chart, after losing 40 pounds, I should wear a 40G just like the bra that I'm replacing because it's now way too big. I took a chance & the bra fits great.It does squeak a lot with every movement of the straps on the painted ring in the back just like my last 2 bras made with the same materials from another company. As the strap settles in to its permanent location it tends to squeak less for me.The foam cups do turn out a touch at the edge. I'm not sure if that is the seam or my slight overfill?I have extremely slanted shoulders and struggle with bra staps that stay in place. I chose this design because it looked like the straps sat close together in the back. While it doesn't appear that way on me as much as the models, that could be the 40 band size. However, I didn't have to adjust the straps once & they never slipped! My guess is that this bra is designed for women with sloping shoulders & the straps dig in at an angle for those with straight for broad shoulders.The one concern that I have is a quality control issue that I didn't notice until after it was too late to exchange the bra. When the threads near the hooks were clipped, the back band was clipped as well. I'm sure this will affect the longevity of the bra, & if I wasn't still steadily losing weight, I'd probably be more upset about it. Instead, I'll just stitch it up & look over my next version of this bra more closely before removing the tags. Because when I lose additional weight, I will be purchasing a smaller size of this bra!The cups have a great shape, support, & lift. I always wear an underwire, & this one isn't noticeable to me. The straps don't slip on my sloped shoulders AT ALL. The double layer back band design is very comfortable and smooths great. The band also provides some side support without getting in the way or pinching.

I'm not in love with this bra-- it's serviceable-- but I'm writing this review for all the people freaking out about the fact that it makes creaking sounds every time you move.Maybe, like me, you tried it on, didn't move around too much and figured it was a keeper-- and then cut the tags off. You're stuck with it but unfortunately now you've worn it for more than 5 minutes and you've realized this thing creaks. Loudly. Like, my coworkers could actually hear me creaking like I was some sort of attic demon. But now the thing is yours and maybe you're searching the reviews to see if there's any sort of hope for this garment.I'm here to tell you that if you wash it enough it stops creaking. And, after several washes, it even became more comfortable for me. When I first got it, I couldn't even wear it a whole day. But now I can.Not a ringing review by a long shot, but hopefully I can allay someone's concerns about making strange uncontrollable sounds in public that are reminiscent of an 18th century corset.

The media could not be loaded.  This is sized a little small around the band but fits me correctly. ( I sized up) It is very comfortable, no riding up, no slipping straps.It is a good supportive bra but… it squeaks!!! No matter how the straps are adjusted the loop by the adjuster squeaks. I put some powder on the loops but nope, it’s noisy. I’m going to wear for a day, wash and see if it is better. It’s kind of embarrassing but I didn’t hear it at first! Would not but again based on this alone. May be returning a worn bra if I can’t fix this. If it quiets down I may buy more. Update:wore twice and it still squeaks. Unfortunate because it is otherwise comfortable

I don’t like the flap that is supposed to minimize. I might be a big girl but I still like it to look nice and not like an old lady

Have recently lost weight & need new sized bras. I’m glad I tried this one! Fits as expected, very supportive, unique side panel design helps smooth those bumps & lumps & side rolls. Love the tan neutral color for brown skin. Will definitely get more of this style in different colors. Highly recommend 10/10!!
