Wacoal is at the top of my list for comfortable bras. This is one of their stand outs, in my opinion.

Comfort features:
*Cushioned straps
*Padded wires...yes
*Satin lined cups
*Supportive fabrics

No matter how much a manufacturer pads their wires, .9" gore widths are still too wide. And, Wacoal is not known for center projection. This bra seems well-suited for average root width, average projection, average space between breasts. I would really appreciate an unlined @Wacoal for close-set, center-full, immediately projected breasts. However, the other Awareness features are so wonderful, I'll purchase a used model and replace/trim wires to a suitable size and overlap the gore wires for ... my short-waisted, close set, center-full self.

The lift and rounding are excellent. In fact, this is my favorite unlined shape, to date.

Sincerely, if comfort is important, Wacaol thoughtfully designs bras with comfort in mind. These features are expensive and time consuming, but I now better understand the list price.

I'll post an update when I've successfully modified the gore on a used model.

Super comfortable!! Love it for an everyday bra, I have one in 32 DD, wich fits but it is a little tight, but this one is the best!! The band is super comfortable, I like it better than the 32 DD because it has three hooks and that is super nice, the gore in this one lays almost flat, but not really, the one in the 32 DD does, The straps are wide and does not adjust all the way, it gives a round shape and the lift is very natural, and the support is great. Really en love with this bra!!

This is a very well constructed molded bra that has wonderfully padded straps...unfortunately after washing once, the cups shrank a bit and no longer fit. Sad, since it was around $60 new.

The T-shirt type bra (it has seams, but wears undetected under thin shirts) feels well made and the band is true to size, but I just didn't pay enough attention to how my boobs fit into the cups. The center gore is squished outwards slightly due to breast tissue escaping the cups from the center (or out the sides if I pull them back toward my arms).

The bra itself has underwires that do NOT poke me in ... my underarms and the straps do NOT try to fall off of my shoulders (big thing for me). The shape of the bra gives me a rather flattened, but natural shape. I think this bra borders on being a minimizer, but it could just be because the cups don't fit right on me. The fit is excellent in everything except the cups, and it is very comfortable...just doesn't fit right though.

Overall, I would love it if the Wacoal bra came in my size--unfortunately, it only goes up to a DDD and I think I would need about two cup sizes bigger, maybe only one. Also, I wish that bra manufacturers would stop it with the flower prints on bras. Just my two cents.
