I bought the Cacique Balconette bra and another style of Cacique bra while on vacation.  I took the other bra back and got another Balconette.  They are the most "uplifting" bra I have ever worn and as a 42ddd, that is saying a alot.  Everything was back where it was 30 years ago!  What a magic garment!!!  The only drawback to this bra is that it is a bit stiff and the side wires do poke, (but the main underwire does not).  To fix this problem I usually sew fleece fabric over the ends of the wires or add moleskin to the ends.  If you didn't want to do all that, you could just remove them. ...
