WARNING: This Bra's A Knock-Off--NOT Playtex Quality
I've worn Playtex brand bras since my mom bought my first training bra in 1972, so I think I know what their quality should be. What I received from Amazon was nothing like the Playtex quality I have expected my entire adult life. I wear a 40C bra, and I have 2 of them (Playtex model #4693) already. So when I realized I needed a new one, I decided to give Amazon a try. I mean, at 1/3 the price of a department store, what could go wrong?
Answer: EVERYTHING.
1. The bra had an odd shape: proportionately smallish cups (this is a C cup? Not even...), weirdly small arm holes, and short straps (adjustable only about 2.5 inches, either way). I looked entirely unlike the one I already have.
2. The material: the fabric was entirely sub-par: cheap, thin, plastic-feeling, stiff, and the elastic had no "give." I have never worn a bra of such inferior fabrication. It was, in a word, shocking.
3. It just didn't fit. I even went back to check. And yes, sure enough: all my other bras are 40C. So this 40C is for some other person, or it's some other kind of measurement. In centimeters, perhaps?
In sum: this is NOT a "Playtex" bra like the ones in the department stores. This is a KNOCK-OFF of a Playtex brand bra, pure and simple. And, like a lot of the other flash-fashion, cheap clothing sold on Amazon, it's not sized for American women's bodies. I returned it.
