* Non-wire bra sizing can vary by preference and if you're toward the top of a size range and prefer more coverage, you may want to size up. For styles available in + sizes (designed with additional support details for our larger cup customers), we find DD's can be on the cusp - if you prefer more coverage and support, we suggest the + bra equivalent for your band size.
Btw, the size nomenclature has changed for Bra Tops. Here's the conversion:
XS=0, S=1, M=2, L=3, XL=4, XXL=5

I love my negative bras, but this strapless is a no go! It fit well, I chose my standard negative size. But I wore it for the first time yesterday and have 4 blisters- 2 at the top of each either side of both breasts and red lines near where the blisters are.

I left a 2-star review on this bra last week, but after Negative contacted me thanking me for my feedback and saying they circulated it "internally," they then deleted my review. I've asked twice what happened to my 2 star review, and they've ignored me. But their auto-email process prompted me for a review again, so I'm back, with my same assessment as last time. This is my worst Negative purchase. I love the brand (before they deleted my 2-star review), so I was thrilled to hear they were releasing a strapless bra, which I've never had good luck with. Unfortunately, this was miss. There was an unexpected gummy strip in the inside; which I know is intended to help with slipping, but it makes this feel like every other uncomfortable strapless bra out there, and not at all like the usual Negative comfort. It's to get on, and incredibly unsexy. (My husband LOVES when I wear Negative, but called this one a shiny Ace bandage). The worst part is the fit. I wear a 32C/34B, which Negative's size chart says should be a size 1. I typically size up to a size 2 for comfort, and this has worked well for me. My other Negative bras are maybe a little roomy, but VERY comfortable. However, this bra in a 2 doesn't even come close to fitting my 32C right. My relatively small boobs were spilling and bulging over the place in weird spots. And based on the product images of the model with a 3, I have to think that that sizing up would be too big, because my breasts are quite a bit smaller than…

I ordered my typical size and while tight I love how well it stays up. Doesn’t budge. This bra is a triumph!! Also of note- I have sensory issues oftentimes with bras but this just hasn’t been true of Negative bras for me. I have loved the ones I have tried including this strapless number

I’m a huge Negative bra fan - I probably own 9 or 10 styles and wear and love them all. But I’m going to need to return this one. I purchased my regular size; I really don’t think it’s a size issue. Although I’m slender, my skin sags down around the upper sides and top - it looks awful. And I don’t get enough support from this bra - I look saggy all around. I think it would work for those with minimal support needs but not me.

I'm obsessed with Negative. I've never had a bad purchase, I get fussy when my Negative stuff is in the wash, and have suggested (demanded) that every woman I know try their Whipped collection. Since one of my life-long gripes is how uncomfortable strapless bras are, I was thrilled when I saw them offering a strapless option. I couldn't purchase fast enough. I figured all of my strapless-woes were at an end, and tracked the incoming package like a hawk. Unfortunately...this is my first Negative disappointment. First, I wasn't expecting all the gummy "no slip" strips lining this thing. I get that it's practical for keeping the thing in place, but it's a big departure from Negative's usual "soft and friendly on the skin" aesthetic. Next up ... it is NOT cute. I mean... really, really not cute. Maybe that's the unavoidable nature of strapless bras, but I (and my husband!) are used to Negative's minimalist but appealing fits (iykyk). But to sum up my husband's assessment: "Eh. Just wrap an Ace bandage round you. It'd look the same and be WAY cheaper." He's not wrong. I could get over those two issues, because, actually, as far as strapless bras go, it's *fairly* comfortable (hence 2 stars instead of 1), if not as comfortable as I was expecting. But my biggest issue is the sizing. My favorite thing about Negative compared to other brands is that I can count on them for size consistency. Negative's size chart has my 32C/34B boobs at a size 1, but they suggest that if you're between…
