OlgaWomen's Sheer Leaves Minimizer Bra
M**E
Sizing has changed - much smaller now
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.

RUNS SMALL IN THE BAND -- love the lace look without showing under tees
I was surprised by this fitting somewhat small -- I ordered two Olga bras both 38C-- this was 2.8" smaller around the chest! and also a little smaller in the cup. The smaller cups on this fits me slightly better, but both cups were acceptable. (I am a true 38 with one breast a little larger than the other) I love how this bra looks, so I am going to wear it with a hook extender in the back until it loosens up.Now as to why I like it -- it looks incredibly sheer, but there are two layers of fabric -- one nude and black lace on top. I generally do not wear lace bras because it shows through my stretchy tees and silk shirts. But this lace is so thin and flexible that it does not show.
S**!
Sizing is off ...manufacturer please listen to your customers
It seems like no one looks at the reviews (the manufacturers). I love the6style of this bra but the sizing is way off.It’s at least 6 inches short.I love the bra and I really would love to keep it and just use an extender strap with it, but I really would prefer to get what I paid for.I am not sure where this sizing is considered normal...maybe it’s another countries sizing???All I know is....the sizing is really really off....pictures are attached.

Mislabeled size
I ordered a 38C and when I removed it from the package I knew it would be way too small! So I looked at the label and it said 38C. However I got out the tape measure and when I stretched it end to end as far as it would go it only came to 35" Then I clasped it and stretched it as far as it would go and it only came to 34 total. You can also tell it is not a C cup but maybe a B so I am pretty sure it was mislabeled. I will be returning it.

Both were pretty comfortable. If you have the opportunity
I have found that its really hard to find a bra that fits because I have narrow shoulders, a small band size, 34", and a larger cup size. Although I'm 5'6", I'm fairly petite on top so this bra really fits me well in a 34 DD. I debated between the 36 D or the 34 DD. Both were pretty comfortable. If you have the opportunity, I would highly suggest that you try on both. Unfortunately, I could find the 36 D at Macy's, but I couldn't find the 34 DD anywhere but online. The 34 DD is a little snug, but because the straps stay up, I consider it a winner...and my clothes fit better with a minimizer. I think that the movie stars must have all their clothes custom made!

One design flaw
I bought this bra to help support my 40D chest. It is very flattering, but has a few design flaws... The underwire somewhat digs, not into my armpit, but close to, on the side of my breast. The other MAJORLY annoying issues I have is it squeaks. Yes, "Squeaks". The plastic rings on the back of the shoulder straps close to the bottom of the bra (where you adjust the tension) really make loud squeaking noises. It sounds like a squeaky rocking chair. Besides the annoying sound and the underwire digging, it's basically alright. Definitely lifts up my chest and helps to make me look very flattering in a t-shirt. If you can get past the noise, I somewhat recommend this bra. It could only be mine that does this, but this is just a "Heads up" situation.

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.

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.

Hecho en Mexico es más chico
Compre con otro vendedor el mismo producto de la misma talla y mismo modelo (solo cambió el color) y es dos pulgadas más chico, la diferencia? Uno es hecho en China (el que SI me quedó) y otro hecho en Mexico que es el que es mucho más chico. Que mal

Sizing runs small and tight
I had such high hopes for this bra. I ordered it after hearing high reviews from a friend who swears by them. On first impression the lace pattern was nice, the straps and band were wide and the material was soft. The sizing however is really off. Even on the loosest clip it was so tight I could barely move and the cups dug in along the top. I’ve don’t normally have problems with my size so I was surprised.

Beware!!!!
Well after four Amazon bra purchasing fails, I thought ok I'll go one more time. I should have known better. The bra itself is nice BUT the band is no where close to a 44 it's more like a 34. I don't even think I could even get it around my leg lol.Buyer beware this bra is nothing close to the size it's supposed to be. Another one bites the dust!

Comfortable
I was glad to find this bra. Many years ago I wore Olga bras but then the store quit carrying them and I was very disappointed. I got this one and it fits me very well. I'm happy to be comfortable again.
