Customer Reviews
The bra is great. I took the advise from other feedback I read about this bra and it worked out perfectly. I am a very short (5′2″) and normally wear a 36C. According to the feedback it seem recommended to purchase a cup size smaller as well as a size smaller around. It worked out perfect. The bra is perfect under my wedding dress. And it is very seamless. Fits perfect throughout. Have to be careful when lifting your arms up that you don’t pop out. But I think the bra is very well worth it. I tried 2 different bra’s from a different distributor before I purchased this one (they were more expensive). I think this bra is well worth the money. Purchase one now!

Overall, great item. The fact that the boning is set in material that is separate from the material that the garters are attached to is helpful in making it not feel like your stockings are pulling your bra down. It is just long enough to cover the tummy and love handles instead of sit on top like so many corset bras do. Size is a bit questionable. I normally wear a 36C or D but since so many people said it was usually too small I ordered a C. It fit okay, but with the way the cups are shaped to curve around almost on top of the breast when it was pulled tight to my body under my dress it created a bad line.

I originally purchased this in a 34DDD but found it to be so tight across my hips that I couldn’t breathe. I also found the cup size to be a bit large but I am normally in between sizes so that wasn’t much of a shocker. I really like this bra because it comes down longer than most of the other long line bras I have tried, preventing the reverse muffin top. The material is smooth, seamless and comfortable. I especially like that the cups are molded and the boning holds you up but doesn’t prevent you from moving. If you are curvy make sure you pick a size that will accommodate your hips! I normally wear a 32 band but knew that would never work for the rest of me.

This fits terrific. My dressmaker advised that many torsolettes/bustiers can squeeze, pull, or cause bulges at the top & bottom. I’m a street size 8 (30″ waist) with a 34D-36D bust and have a very hard time fitting into any bra. This fits very nice, slim through the middle & the cups hold my bust up rather than pull down. I ordered the 36D & it fit well. The boning is a little visible down the belly through the fabric of my dress, but I have boning in my dress & it isn’t a visible deterrent in my case. I’m pleased to have a bridal white undergarment rather than the nude & the garter attachment is a sexy touch to a functional piece.

I have never bought a bustier in my life–I always thought I was too large in the bust. I purchased Va Bien 1503 out of quiet desperation! My daughter’s wedding was looming and my mother-of-the-bride dress was hanging there. Calling on reinforcements to hook up the back (you can’t do it yourself), I turned and looked in the mirror. I couldn’t believe it. It fit like a dream. I ordered the exact size I always purchase and it was right on! The material makes you look several inches smaller, it doesn’t ride up and it is comfortable. If this over-60 lady is happy, you will be, too. Ordering was simple and it arrived right on time. I highly recommend this to anyone who thinks they are too big to wear a bustier. You will love it.

I bought this bra to wear with a bridesmaids dress, and also to have a decent strapless bra to wear with dresses. It held up well through the wedding. It did ride up a bit, but perhaps this would not have been an issue if I used the garter straps. Also, the front center bone curves outward a little on its own, but once I was in a form fitting dress is wasn’t an issue. The cup boning is a nice feature, and I definitely felt that it helped things stay in a perky shape. All in a all, it was worth the investment. I’m sure I’ll get other great uses from it.

What a great bra!! I ordered this in time for my wedding and it was a comfortable fit under the dress. It is very slimming. I originally ordered a 38DDD and it was a bit small, so I had to go up to the 40DDD and it was a perfect fit. I think the product runs smaller than normal, because I have never worn a 40DDD bra EVER. But the 40DDD felt amazingly awesome! The boning isn’t uncomfortable at all. HerRoom was really great when I returned my 38DDD. Their customer service was quite stellar and I plan on ordering all of my intimate products from them from now on.

This bra stayed in place better than any other strapless bustier that I have ever worn. It didn’t require any tugging through the day to stay in place. I have had difficulties with the boning in these bras (on the top, in the side) causing a great deal of discomfort due to rubbing as I moved, but this one did not do that nearly so bad. My only two concerns were that on the sides the cups came up too far. They stuck out of the side of my dress at the arm holes and had to be sewn down so they did not show as much. The boning in the front is also much more noticeable than the picture suggests and created a little bump in the front at the bottom that showed through the dress. However, this bra fit well enough that I will wear it again and wouldn’t replace it unless I changed sizes.
HerRoom Response: It sounds like you might need a cup size larger.
- Kendra, IL, Age: 20’s July, 2008, Size: 40DD

I bought this bustier in nude to wear under my wedding dress. It is super comfortable, comes down far enough over the hips to leave no lines or bulge, and is low-cut enough in the back to wear with my dress that has a low-v cut. It really supports well too! Keeps the girls in place just as well as a regular bra would. My only caution is that it didn’t come with garter straps if you are in need of those. Otherwise, it was perfect!!
- Beth, Chicago, IL September, 2007, Size: 36D

My only suggestion to anyone looking to purchase this bra is know your measurements and how to convert them. I followed the online measurement guidelines and when I received the bra it was too large. In addition, the garters which were to accompany the order were not included. I opened and searched the package thoroughly for them. Alas, I ended up returning the bra, although I had hoped it was just what I needed for my upcoming wedding. Very disappointed.
