What is surely a hit for the lovely Jill Scott in terms of business and exposure, it appears that we have a fan-tested review of the new line of bras called Butterfly by Jill Scott that deems them a miss.Unfortunately for reader (thank God someone's responding to my posts!) Metal Was Never Cuter, the Butterfly did not suit her needs.

Again, this was a great hope then a crushing plummet into disappointment.
Apparently, to get a bra that is comfortable or even to fit, I must be passing the morbid obesity mark. I am 5' 4" and 200 pounds; I am a little soft around the middle but there is nothing "fat", "padded", "hefty", or "plus size" about me except my CHEST. When I was 140 pounds I sported a 36 FF chest, 30 inch waist and 42 inch hips.
Unfortunately, Ashley Stewart and Ms Scott feel that I am not entitled to buying their line of clothing. It seems that they feel only plus sized women require bras that are a joy to wear.
Warning large chested women of the world: Don't get your hopes up. No one cares about our comfort yet.

I am really happy to present to you a review that is honest without being mean; Metal Was Never Cuter provides us with a real insider's perspective on the Butterfly bra, even if it wasn't right for her.
I really appreciate your honesty, Metal Was Never Cuter! Thank you for reading and responding on Oh Hell Yes! And thanks so much for giving everyone a heads-up about how the bra effects people of all sizes.

I bought the bra yesterday and the biggest things that disappoint me is that 1. I feel like I'm wearing a harness around my chest. The flip side of that is that it does smooth out the bulges.
2. The underwire is terribly uncomfortable. The flip side of that is that they really pump up the underwire and grip of the hook bands so that your breasts are supported and don't droop to the point where the shoulder straps start to dig into your skin.
3. It is a huge contraption. I'm not sure that I'd feel too comfortable undressing in front of my man with it on. I'm a 40DD and the bra is much larger than the average bra. The flip side of that is I guess all of that material and padding is needed to offer better support.
It took me about 15 mins just to try and get it on. You definitely can't hook it from the front and spin it around, which is what I'm used to doing. I'm a 46 DDD and I just knew this bra was going to work for me. I was sadly mistaken. There is alot of padding which I'm sure none of us need especially with all the strapping on that bra. I really expected something wonderful with this bra when I walked in to the store. Back to square one....
sorry, but i did not like this bra. After you finally get it on, it feels like you're wearing a straight jacket, very uncomforatable & while smoothing out bugles is important, i dont want to compromise comfort & this thing feels like body armour. For $44 (and I've spent more on a good bra)they need to go back & re-devlop this...the concept great, but being held captive is not my idea of a great bra....
I got this one in the mail today. I opened the package and was mortified at the size of it. I know I'm big, but goodness. I couldn't even believe that the size was tagged right, so I compared it to my current bra size. I wouldn't want anyone to see me in this bra. I put it on and was willing to give it a shot. It kind of smoothed out the bulges, but there was way too much padding and the front of the bra popped out of my shirt. My current bra doesn't do that. Big disappointment.
I got the strapless bra and it is hands down the best strapless bra I have ever worn. Other strapless bras were a waste of money because without the straps they just would not stay up. Not only does this one stay up, it actually minimizes your whole bust line plus the bulges near your lower back. I give it an A+. I look forward to buying the full bra.
i had been seeing the ads for the buttrfly bra and like many of u , i could relate to each and every problem that this bra promised to address.i wanted to try it, but the price was a bit steep at the time. i happened into the store one day and they have the bra on sale!! 20 dollars. i couldnt pass this up.i tried the bra on and initially i DIDNT WANT TO TAKE IT OFF!! but i did. wore it the next day and found it extremely uncomfortable, i couldnt wait to take it off. i couldnt figure out how the same bra that i didnt want to take off, WAS KILLIN ME! made a few simple adjustments to it, like trying a different row of hooks. LOVE IT! the girls sit up high and i dont have strap dig. they actually slip off the shoulder. while i will admit that it is a rather large garment once u get used to it u will actually notice a difference in the way u look.
Mtay I couldnt wait for this bra! Saved up and got is on sale! I saw it was $19.99 and I got 4!! I got this bra yesterday and it was HUGE! I have HUGE Boobs already so an extra huge bra was dissapointing but I said with all of this padding, it has to work! Well no, its ugly and it feels so uncomfortable..I am halfway through the day and is so ready to take it off...Im back at square one...The bra does not dig into my shoulder but with 44DDD breasts its not easy on my back either. I would not undress in front of anyone because if you didnt explain it to them, they would think you are wearing 2 bras...The 2 bras in back..uncomfortable..underwire uncomfy..Ill stick to Lane Bryant. I am glad I didnt pay the entire $44.00..oh and why would they put extra padding in a bra this big? My boobs dont need any extra foreal foreal foreal. I am sad because I support all plus size markets. Deal or Dud! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO LANE BRYANT!
I purchased the strapless bra to wear for my best friends wedding and loved it. My problem was that I could not get it on and off without help. I decided to try again thinking that I probably got the wrong size, so I measured myself and was surprised to see that according to Ashley Stewarts website, I need a 40DDD I normally wear a 38DD. I kept in mind that most women wear the wrong size bra. Anyway I ordered 2 more in 40DDD, the regular and the strapless. I have been wearing the regular one for 2 days and my observations are:
(1)IT IS A HUGE CONTRAPTION.
(2)WAS uncomfortable the first time I wore it but had not after the first day.
(3)It is difficult to put on.
(4)My clothes look better and my posture seems better also.
(5)Overall the strapless bra is better because it is 6 bras in one. If I had to do over I would only buy the strapless and remove the straps when needed.
I don't think it is a complete miss, but needs some redesigning. I would not want to take this off in front of a man.
On a side note, my sister confiscated the first strapless one and wears it frequently, she loves it.
I purchased the bra myself, and I find it a little uncomfortable but very supportive, and ladies lets be real.. full figure women with large breast need the support and believe me, this bra does just that.. I know it may feel like a harness or back brace and it may even be slightly embarrassing in those intimate moments, but honey your man is going to have to understand that support and comfort is better that sexy and saggin..get over it! The true is, they may some getting use to but they actually do help..
CUMBERSOME. A *total* miss. Ugh.
