If you're full busted, cup size D and up, a firm band supports the bust. According to the Brastop video in the link bra straps support 20% of the bust while the band gives most of the support. A well fitting bra actually improves posture because the back is not supporting the weight of the bust, the bra is. I can often tell if a band is too loose because I can feel it twist on me when I move.
When I look at old pictures of me I'm appalled at how poor my posture was due to ill fitting bras. Recent pictures show an entirely different person.

My sister was very, very large breasted. She had back and neck problems and her doctors were pretty sure it was from the weight of her breasts. She had reduction surgery and no further problems. Her insurer even agreed that it was a medical necessity and not cosmetic.
