I think I liked it better, when I was only buying wireless bras. That way I didn't have so many to choose from. Teehee I'm ordering an Incredible Demi in Soft Nude/Smokey Plum now. I'm going to go broke buying pretty bras.
these are sooooo comfy!! i do have problems with the strap tho - you may find the "self-adjusting strap" does not "self-adjust" enough. mine fall down on me sometimes.

I'm only a B or C but I love the DA Demi! I loved the older one better (it was thinner - the new one has thicker padding imo - but a SA told me once that it may feel thicker but it's softer. not sure if I believe her.) but you should be ok with the new one as well. It is veeery comfortable as a wired bra - one of the few that does not give me chest pains at the end of the day (only DA Demi and Incredible with the padded underwire is comfy for me). Hope you like them! They're soooo pretty! heart

*edit* and when i say padding, i mean that memory foam part that serves as "padding" on this bra. i don't like padding in bras usually but i love the DA memory foam material! it gives just the right amount of lift for me.

Thanks for the review. I'm ordering an Incredible Demi also. It sounds like I made good choices for me, except for the first order. That one was so pretty that I didn't take time to read the details. Embarrassment

Thanks for the warning. Is there a manual way to make it fit better? I'm short & need shorter straps.

i haven't figured out a way to make it fit better yet. darn VS and its "self-adjusting straps". like, duh, everyone is a different height and needs a different length. that's why they made straps adjustable in the first place! Crazy shake head eventually i may have to sew it or something. someone here mentioned that the racerback demi fixes that problem (bc those straps won't fall down) - i got one of those in the SAS but haven't worn it yet.

I'm super jealous of people that can wear normal sized rings. I never have the cute rings like other girls because my fingers are so tiny Frown.

GOTB, do you know if VS is discontinuing wireless bras in DD sizes? I can't find any on the site.

anni, stitching it to the right size is a good idea. It sounds like the self-adjust feature was a good idea in theory, but not in practice.

I agree, the older one was better! But it is all a matter of opinion I guess. I like the Incredible demi but can't wear mine anymore because the dang straps have come too loose. It pisses me off because the bra is pretty new and a lot of my older ones are in better shape and can be adjusted.

GotB I can't remember which other VS bras worked for my MIL. My mom wears 36D (I think) and likes the Incredible bras a lot. The Very Sexy pushup might not be too bad for you- I wear 32D and don't like them to be much bigger- that bra pushes up more than it adds ridiculous volume IMO.

Oh no, that's two reviews of the Incredible demi with the same problem. I'm glad you girls let me know, before I wore it & couldn't send it back. I'd be really disappointed if I paid that much for a bra & only got a few wears out of it.

I'll try the VS Push-up, before sending it back. Maybe, I'll just wear it around the house to get my DH thinking like Tizzy's. Teehee

GH- Yes, as far as I know there are no wireless bras available in DD. In store the cotton wireless only goes up to a C and BBV goes up to a D. I would suggest the Incredible.... and I realize that a lot of people have issues with the straps falling down, so I always suggest the front-close racer-back version. That way the straps won't slide off your shoulders. http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper

I believe Icey tried this solution and it worked for her.

Just a suggestion, wouldn't a bra strap clip [amazon.com]fix the strap problem?

I've never tried one and I know it's to make it into a racer back, but it would still tighten it, right?

Or a safety pin as someone said in the reviews.
