OlgaWomen's Sheer Leaves Minimizer Bra
P**R
Hard to find one this comfortable, supportive, and well fitted.
Wife's response -This is a great bra to follow the Olga Sheer Tapestry minimizer bra.I couldn't find the Olga Sheer Tapestry bra. They must not be made anymore. I searched for months to find a replacement. I even went to several stores to shop for bras and try them on. None ever fit very well.I measure a 34D, but it seldom matches how the different kinds of bras fit. I took the risk and tried this one. I first tried the 36C. Around my torso 36 worked well. The C cup was too small. I ordered the 36D and it fits beautifully!The wires sit perfectly behind the breast tissue. It supports around the sides nicely, and doesn't cut in. The smooth lines from profile view are perfect. I don't like a bra that makes me look like I have 2 bowls on my chest. It a nice smooth line down the front.I really like how it feels all around.After I returned the wrong cup size, I purchased 2 more of my size. I tend to stick to the styles I like best.

second time buying this model
I have purchased the Olga minimizer bra before and love the fit and the quality. Only issue I have is If you do not wash the bra by hand they tend to get nubs on the material.

Decent, but not my favourite Olga bra
This is a decent bra.On the positive side, it is fully opaque and the beige is really invisible under clothes. It's a good shade for a medium, neutral or olive skin tone. I like the leaves. It is comfortable and very lightweight. It is probably cool, which is important to me from May to November in my climate, but I can't really tell, as the weather had turned and it is cool out now.(Seguing towards the negative side) As a minimizer, I think it works somewhat, due to the shape. I don't feel like I'm way out there. For those who like that, the straps are quite wide and don't dig into the shoulders. I'm afraid this is a constant theme, with me, but it seems the size I chose is a little too big. Not sure it's the size, though. It's just that the bra seems so stretchy, and the straps as well. Some people may find stretchier straps comfortable, personally, I don't feel like I am being held. I feel like I should have gone down a cup size, yet I always wear a C. I feel like the only thing supporting me are the underwires, which are also really large. I have the same size in the Olga butterfly bra and the fit is much better and I feel supported.On the negative side, well, as I mentioned, I don't feel supported and the bra is super stretchy. It is also super high coverage for me, which of course some people may prefer. The straps are wide, the cups are large and stay quite broad up the chest. Not good for a scooped neckline! There is an elastic around the bottom that digs in a bit. Not so much a band as a thin elastic sewn into the super stretchy material. Maybe I'm just spoiled by my butterfly bra and my Warners Blissful Benefits, which I also ordered from Amazon, but I feel like this style gives less support and also leaves a dent in my figure that would show under a t-shirt. I would say that if you are hesitating, definitely size down in the cup and possibly in the band, if you don't mind the elastic at the bottom. I have broad shoulders and a big rib cage, but I feel like the upper part of the band, particularly in the armpit area, is loose.Overall, not a bad bra. It is well made and all, but it is not a favourite and definitely not one I would order again. I personally much prefer the Olga butterfly bra and the Blissful Benefits, but someone who likes super stretchy bras, and who has perhaps larger breasts (yet not in need of a lot of support, I guess) might enjoy this. It has a lining and it really doesn't show under clothes, nor do my (hate this expression, but here goes) headlights show. That is why I rated it as high as I did, because someone else might really love it. Olga bras are great bras, but this one is not my favourite.

Super comfy and supportive - runs small
I was struggling to find a great fitting bra so had a professional fitting, found out I was a 34DDD not the 36D I had been struggling with. After my revelation I invested in a few high end bras specifically for my size. By the end of the day I was feeling like I had been harnessed into a medieval device. I like to wear a bra most of the day/night and the structured ones I purchased were killing me after 12 hours. I did some research and came across this bra and for the price I figured I'd give it a try, if for nothing else and "after-hours" bra to wear around the house in my lounge clothes. Although the 34DDD is not available I was told I could use a swing-size of 36DD. Have to say I'm so impressed with this bra. The underwire has additional padding, the fabric is very sheer and stretchy, and straps are super comfy. I purchased the black/nude and it's very sexy. It does feel smaller (almost like my 34 bands) so I would suggest going up a size in the band, but I'm definitely ordering more.

Not the same
I have worn this style of bra, almost exclusively, for the last decade or so. The quality of this brand and style has really gone down over the years.This used to be an extremely comfortable and cute bra that lasted for a good amount of time, hence the 3-star review. With this last purchase, the underwire makes a weird rubbing squeaking noise each time I move. This happens when I twist, raise my arms, and sit up straight. It's awkward and embarrassing.In most of my previous purchases of this bra, the underwire does eventually pop out on one side, but it's easy enough to sew back in place. The previous purchase of this style bra had the underwire popping out after only a couple of wears.I have no confidence that this bra will last like the others have. I'll have to find something new. Very disappointing.

One of the best brands for bra
Soft yet strong material, fit to size. Feels comfortably on you. I will definitely buy again.

Love it!
I love this bra. Not only is it sexy but it is comfortable! It fits well and holds the girls in without a problem. I love the soft ( not scratchy) lace too. Great brand. Gorgeous bra.

Buen producto
Primera vez que compro está marca.El brasier es muy cómodo, da una linda forma al pecho, da muy buen soporte. No tiene relleno, tiene varrilla, los tirantes son cómodos.Viene una talla más chica de la espalda, compré 36DD y me quedó apretadito. Afortunadamente estaba a dieta y pronto pude usarlo. Lo volvería a comprar sin dudar.

So comfortable
I bought Olga minimisers years ago in the USA and this one is as good as I remember. It is soft even with the underwires. It gives a good outline to my clothes as it reduces my bust lineThe colour is very good, more pale peach than the awful tan colour you can get with other makes. Under a white shirt you cannot see it. Very good quality. Highly recommend

Olga bras are the most comfortable ever. I have been using them for 20 ...
Olga bras are the most comfortable ever. I have been using them for 20 years since I first found them in USA and cannot find any equivalent in UK.
