Fabric and lace trim are soft and do not irritate my skin like other bras can. I like the shape. The pressure at the bottom of the U of the wires digs into my ribcage. Maybe I could get used to it?

Very soft bra, the only problem with mine is the band is tight so I don't wear it much.

This band is super small. I sized up from a 32 to 34 because I noticed they seemed to run small and I could still barely get it on even with cups upside down and backwards. If I try to buy it again I will likely need to get a 36.

Band a bit loose, need to use tightest hooks new. Stretchy material. Comfortable, good coverage, gore too wide and tall for me...tacks at bottom, floats at top. I like the width of underwire for my wide roots, i also like the profile under clothing

Probably not for everyone, but I love it. On me, it definitely minimizes and compresses. It holds my breast tissue firmly against my body in a way that lets me basically forget I have breasts. I like that feeling sometimes -- all spare and sylph-like. Also my best bra for wearing under button-down shirts -- not only does it help them fit better, I like the way I look better (I only wear button down shirts when I'm going for that kind of gamine look).
I used to have this in 32DDD and it was always a tidge too small (but I loved the compression and was afraid of ... going bigger). 34G is a better and more comfortable fit, and still gives me the held-in feeling I want from this bra.
It's more utilitarian than pretty (though I do like the bright seasonal colors, when I can get them!), and it's not at all compatible with very open necklines, but those aren't deal breakers for me.
Interestingly, the wires extend much further under my arms than the ones on other Wacoal bras I have in the same size. This means that there is about an inch of cup fabric that's just lying flat against my body on the outer undersides. But the cups fit well otherwise and when I've tried going down a cup size, they're too small, so maybe this is done on purpose to achieve the minimization? I don't know! If any of you elite bra geeks reads this and knows what's up, I'd love to learn.

Wacoal is using a not-standard sizing system. I usually wear a 34H, but Wacoal sizing chart recommends 38DDD. That is a significant difference to the standard.
I am putting in effort to find a version of this bra that fits because I have an older model and it was my favorite bra. I want a new one, and I'm going to try to find what a 34H means in their custom sizing system!
This bra is a great every day bra. It is very comfortable, even when lounging on the couch. The straps are exceptionally wide and padded, and rest on the bone of the shoulder preventing irritation on the ... muscles. The new version has put padding around the wire to make it even more comfortable. It doesn't push the breasts up, it just lets them rest in a location that is natural and unobtrusive.
This bra, the 36H, has a band that is too tight for someone who generally has a 34 band. The cups are bigger than this model's 34H, so they are sizing up the cup size with the band size. The underwire is wider than the 34H's cup causing it to dig into my armpit.
The 34H was a perfect cup size, but the band intolerably too tight. A 38DDD may be the size that is expected for a standard 34H.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Wacoal is using non-standard band sizing, by an extreme degree. I bought this many years ago and wanted a replacement. Today, a 34H is too tight. A 38DDD is the actual clone of my old 34H version. Note that the cup size is a sister to the original.
In summary, this has been my favorite bra for years, and I would recommend it to anyone. I wore it so much I needed a replacement, but discovered the new version uses Wacoal's new band sizing method, making the band size on a 34H too small.
Straps: The straps are wide set sitting mostly on the bone of the ... shoulder and a little bit on the muscle, minimizing muscle irritation. The straps are a whopping 1.25" and nicely padded. It feels great.
Band and Underwire: My first US 34H bra had a great fitting band and underwire. It was easily a casual wear bra, where I could even slouch on the couch to watch TV without being irritated. The new US 34H bra is much different. The underwire digs into my 32" rib cage right way. It was so intolerable, I thought it had to be a mistake and returned it. I've now discovered Wacoal is using non-standard sizing.
Support: Great. Most of the support is on the torso, and the straps are wide and positioned well to handle the little weight they carry.
Comfort: Great. A bra that can be worn for casual occasions and slouch or curl up on a couch with little irritation. A great any-occasion bra.

Sets boobs close together, but that's a good thing for me. Very stretchy band. Slight minimizer, excellent for button-down shirts. Deeply unsexy look. Would buy again, in a lower band and larger cup.

No "lift" in this one, is this what a minimizer feels like? Kind of flattened me out. Might be a cupsize too small though. No real support, felt like a lid on a pot.

This fits less projected, wider breasts best. Bodysuede is a better choice for me.
