To go with the perfect evening wear may sometimes be determined by the perfect underwear. What is rare and sometime contradictory in terms is sexy and comfortable. I believe we’ve found a bra that fits both criteria.

Available colors
There are lots of available colors. Sale colors are also available for $19.99. This review is based on color selection 93 – lavender. You’ll love the diamond design black soft mesh cover over the lavender colored bra cup. The bra top has a small frilly lace which adds a delicate touch to a support bra.
Bands and Straps
The ½ inch straps and 2 ½ inch mesh bands with crisscross lavender ribbon running vertical on the sides of the bra brings out a seductive sexiness to the bra. This corset-like bra is great with evening wear with medium shoulder straps and low V neck top. And, the bands mesh material breathes well.
Cleavage bra with support
The front metal hook clasp upon closure lightly squeezes your boobs together. With the help of the supportive bra cups the result is a sexy Y shaped cleavage, hence the EXXtreme bra. Also, the thick mesh spandex band provides added comfort and support. This bra includes a removable push up pad; but, for women with breast implants you won’t need this extra item the bra is great the way it is. Mind you, spend the time adjusting the bra when you first receive it. When I first tried it on it was constricting and confining but once adjustments were made is when I found out how comfortable this bra is.
Dislikes
Front closure material
The metal clasp seems like it will hold up over many washings but the fabric that the clasp is attached too seem flimsy. If you checkout the Frederick’s site you’ll find a bra comparable to this one but with a secure back closure.
Available sizes
Notice that the largest size cup is a D if you are a half size larger you’re out of luck.
Too much bra cup material
A little less bra cup material on the tops of the bra will soften up the look of this bra. While it is a plunge bra it is a borderline full coverage bra.
Boyfriend Quotient
This bra scores high on the boyfriend quotient. The boyfriend likes the deep cleavage, the pretty colors and the fact that it is a front closure bra. He also like the little corset details on the sides of the bra straps. While it does not show on the picture the lavender bra does have a corset like design (as noted above) that provides some sexiness and a bit of whimsy. The straps on this bra are on the thinner side which he prefers over thick and supportive straps. Over all this rates high.

Conclusion
The corset-like bands will give you a sexy look hiding the fact that they are wider bands. But, the important fact about wide bands is support. This bra manages to combine sexy, creating a great cleavage with the plunge; and comfort with support. Overall this is a great evening bra both outside on a night in town or inside the privacy of your home.
