    Piggypacking on another thread about strapless bras, I'm considering buying the Victoria's Secret "BioFit," which is advertised as "seven-ways" (to wear it). I need something strapless, and I'm 36 DD.... Anyone have any experience with the BioFit?

    I'm the same size as you. I don't own their 7-way biofit, but I find that the VS strapless bras are not supportive. I get mine at Kohl's and they are heavy duty--double banding in the back, thick, lots of boning, and a very thick back strap. It holds up and doesn't wimp out on me.

    I own a few VS bras and their original biofit fits incredibly. They aren't uncomfortable, unlike most other bras I deal with. I do find that their DD cups vary widely across their lines, though.

    I like my Kohl's one a lot more! And it was only $20.

    I don't think VS bras are worth much of anything.  Especially for larger-chester ladies (I'm a 34DD myself)

    Take the $50 and put it towards something from Le Mystere, Natori, Wacoal, etc.  More worth the $$$ and will hold up for years.

    I owned a Biofit and it really was nothing special. Only after a couple months, the wire started stabbing me. My favorite from there so far is the Angels wireless collection. So comfy and the girlies look so perky :)

    no, terrible.

    i have smaller boobs, and a small frame, and the straps are wayyyy too long even when adjusted all the way to the end of the line. As a result, the bra sits down on my ribcage and makes me look like I have the boobs of an 80 yr old.

    The plastic "clear" straps that came with it as well are cheap and hard to adjust.

    The fabric is nice, I will say that.

     

    Not impressed.

    They get the job done. You can probably find something cheaper and just as nice, though. Mine is very comfy even though it's not the right size (It's 32D and I'm 30D. Most unfortunate bra size EVER). But I don't have the seven way straps either, so that could make a difference.

    i voted yes, bc i love the shape of the cups/comfort, but....

    i'm a slender size 4, with big C/ small D boobs, so i always have issues with bras.  I have a thin frame, small shoulders, and the shoulder straps and VS are always way too long for me! they don't do their job bc even when they're as short as they go, i'm always wanting them shorter.  but that could just be me.
