Ok well I got it in the mail today and only wore it for a few minutes and here's what I think It's definitely backless and it does ride up pretty high under the armpits. However, it does give me nice cleavage in front but I had to tighten the straps pretty much as tight as they would go. I don't see it being my most comfortable bra but I'd certainly wear it for a night out if I wanted to go backless. So all in all I like it and am going to give it a try for a night. I'll repost if my review changes after wearing it for a few hours.
