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. Read more

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. Read more
Having tried several brands/makers of various bras (and being dissatisfied with each for different reasons), I discovered this Olga bra. Search is over! This bra does not bind, straps do not dig in or slip, and there is no nasty extra padding in the cups. VERY comfortable, but you do have to accept that the straps are not the thinner ones on most other bras. I don't mind that at all. Recommend going up one band size. I'm generally a 36C but ordered 38C and that makes for a more comfortable fit, with no tightness around the chest. Cups are adequately shaped/sized so there is no "wrinkling" or "empty space". Breasts don't bounce when I walk, as used to happen with a couple of other well-known brands. Washes beautifully. I put this and the other ones in laundry lingerie bags, set the machine on the gentlest no-spin cycle. Press them gently with a towel, then place them back into the lingerie bags to gently dry in drier. They are so comfortable that I donated the other brands (all in new to very good condition), and bought several of this Olga style in beige, black, white, and gray. Would love to get the red but have not located in my size yet. Try one, see what you think, and you can now return to nearest Kohl's, where they'll package and ship back for you, FREE! But you just may not want to.😊 Read more
It has been years since I’ve purchased a bra that fit and be so comfortable I felt like I wasn’t bothered by the straps, or underwire. This bra is true to size and made well. I plan to purchase from this vendor again. Read more
Update 6/2///23 - I just returned a new one I bought because one strap was sewn on twisted so that the strap does not lie flat. I actually wore it, and kept adjusting it - so annoying. Then when I got home I laid it out flat and saw that the right strap was sewn on the wrong way so that it twists. Had to return it. Wondering if they sell defective, manufacturer defects here. Perhaps that' why problems with sizing as well. i purchased two olga sheer leaves in 2016, one in the french toast and one in black french toast 36 DD. They fit beautifully. I loved this bra. It iminimizes and is very comfortable and pretty too. I just purchased the same size and couldn't even fasten it this time. At the same time I also bought the Olga butterfly minimizer in the same size, 36 DD. The butterfly model fits well and I fastened it on the tightest hook. I read another reviewer this month who purchased the same size in the sheer leaves model and she had the exact same problem. They have changed the sizing of this bra, at least for the 36DD. I reordered it in 38 DD, and it fits, also snug but it fits well. Read more
