Victoria's Secret's Miraculous Bra?

[*want it all*]

Has anyone tried this bra? It's the latest bra (seamless and is advertised to make you 2 sizes bigger). I want opinions because I've been disappointed with their bras. I have tried the Very Sexy push-up, and you can totally tell I'm wearing a push-up (the cup contour is not flush against my skin, no matter what size I try). Please help if you have personal experience with this bra! Thanks!

I'm a 32AA and was excited to see that this bra came in my size (most of the VS do not go this small). When I tried it on, I was really, really disappointed! There was so much padding, but it left a HUGE gap in between my chest and the bra. I mean, you could fit a rolled up sock in the space. It looked absurd and clearly obvious that it was padded.

Not sure what your size is, but if you have issues with gappage in the VS Sexy, you'll most definitely feel the same (or worse) with this one. If you're flat like me, stick with the Wacoal Petite padded bras or Little Bra Company; they are completely flush with the skin and make me look/feel like I'm a real size B cup!

VS associates measure me at 34B or 34C; I get gaps regardless!

Thank you for your input and suggestion! Do Wacoal Petite padded bras or Little Bra Co carry my size? Is there some place I can try them on? Oh, is the Little Bra Co a boutique store. I'm sure we don't have that here, if that's the case.

I think both brands do up to B cups; however Wacoal (non-petite) has sizes across the board. You can find Wacoal at many higher end (Nordstrom, Saks) department stores; Little Bra Company can be found at boutiques or online:

^ I will try Wacoal @Nordstrom first since that will be more convenient, and ooooh, I see Little Bra Company sells its bras in a couple of my local boutique stores! It's a wee bit more driving time (and more time spent finding street parking), but getting a couple of well-made and functional padded bras (w/o gaping) will be definitely worth it.

Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!

It may be worth it for you to try out the VS Miraculous bra, come to think of it - as a B/C cup you will have something to sit on top of the pads. I did not, which is why there was such a big gap - maybe you'll have better luck?

I second checking out Wacoal. I am a 34b and I love this brand bc the padding isn't obvious and at least on me seems to prop as opposed to looking like layer upon layer of padding. I think it gives a great natural look. As far as VS push up bras go I have yet to have any success with them. One time I went into the store determined to find one that was just amazing and I couldn;t even find one that was acceptable--and I totally don't mean that in a snobby way--they all looked ridiculous and didn't fit right. At first I thought I was the only one but my one friend had the same problem, the way they fit was almost like it VSs first attempt at a push up bra, but this is just me.

All right, verdict is in since I was able to pop into Victoria's Secret and Nordstrom this afternoon:

THUMBS DOWN to the Miraculous bra for me. I had the same problem as I've had with the Very Sexy line. Just can't seem to make Victoria's Secret padded bras work. I don't have weird shaped boobs, nor is my size weird...IDK, SOMETHING about padded bras + Victoria's Secret = EPIC FAIL (for me).

talexs and sailornep5, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels VS padded bras have been a huge disappointment. Thanks for sharing your recs about Wacoal; you two are right, this brand is TONS better at solving that problem of gaping! Flush right against my boobs so no tell-tale sign I'm faking it w/a padded bra! So overjoyed to have experienced this brand!

Thank you for starting this thread,
I guess I'm not going for that bra or any bra from VS.. Too bad!

I like their Bio Fit bra!

I wear a 32 D and this looks amazing. I sized down though. Partly because there really wasn't a great selection in my size and partly because of gapping.Try sizing down one cup size. The bra really added alot of natural-looking size. For me and my smaller build it was almost too much though.

I'm done with buying bras from VS, I'm a B cup and the edge of the top of the bras always curl outwards so it is always extremely noticeable that i am wearing a bra. I cannot believe the quality and cut is just of such a poor quality for VS. I love their bikinis but i own none of their bras at this current moment.

Their biofit bra is definitely the comfiest! The new bra really has some serious padding, and makes a difference when a tshirt is worn over it but in something low cut, it looks like there's two bumps (the bra, then my actual breast above it.) One thing I dislike is I wish they made size 30 bras. I use the tightest setting on the 32 and after a month it stretches out and just slips around.

Oh, I'm glad the thread was helpful to you, girl! Well, on the other side of the coin, I bet there are girls who like VS bras, but I think from the comments posted thus far, is that at least for this bra (and maybe their padded lines as a whole)...is just sub par. Hmmm...I wonder if it's too late to add a poll to this thread?

Hey, I've been missing you in the Rob thread; where have you been?

plr16: I'm glad the Miraculous Bra seems to have worked out for you. I did try going down a cup size to 34B, but it still was a experience for me in the fitting room.

Brasilian_Babe: You sound like me; recently I just pulled out a VS wireless bra, and for it being WIRELESS, you'd expect it to be comfortable, but the fabric itched my skin on the right. No loose threads, so I don't know what the problem is. I, too, am more of a fan of their bottoms. I own quite a number of their Pink undies, as well as their new Lacie collection undies (which are pretty much like hanky panky's line).

olialm1 and mangujowa: Hmmm...Biofit, huh? Perhaps I can look into Biofit down the road. Right now, I am very pleased with the Wacoal bras I bought from Nordies. mangujowa: That description of "two bumps" does not sound very good. I bet it's definitely not a cute look.

If you're looking for a bit more lift but not anything drastic, try their little gel cup inserts. They should be by the intimissimi table. You can't even tell there's anything there and they're really comfortable--more comfortable to have them in than not to have anything there imo.
