Tight band!! This cappuccino colorway Embrace Lace barely stretches past 28". It is probably new or nearly new condition. The cups stretch with the band, making them wider than I need. Tried on with an extender. Would be better on someone with a smaller underbust who would stretch it less, or someone who needs wider cups.

As others have said this band seems to run a size small! Or at least is feels tighter than the other Wacoal bras I have owned. Besides that the main issue I have with with bra is the lack of projection. I'm full on bottom and pretty middle of the line between projected and shallow. Mine forms a weird almost fold at the bottom of the cup by the end of the day of wearing it, due to it shifting out of my IMF. I think the strange fit in the cup contributes to the band feeling tighter than it actually is. My other gripe with this bra is that the straps CONSTANTLY fall off my shoulders during the day. why is this bra so wide. why
I found the lace in the band is comfortable. I like the flexibility of the foam cups.
As for the color, the "sand" seems a little too light for my skin tone. It is paler than most fair skinned nude bras.

I have been measured as a 30F/DDD (in EU/US measurements) and was ecstatic to finally find a comfortable bra (the Chantelle Rive Gauche). I wanted some more well-fitting options and was eager to try the Wacoal Embrace Lace Underwire Bra when I found it at Macy's for an affordable price. Unfortunately, the band ran quite small and the top dug into my breasts hard enough to leave red marks. I also ended up with small blisters on my shoulders from the straps. I kept wearing it because I wanted something that would not show under certain shirts (the Rive Gauche has a pretty ruffle on the top edge of the cups that is sometimes visible.) I also like the more relaxed shape it gives for casual days. Over time the band did stretch a bit and the upper part of the cups loosened enough to be tolerable, but I still end up with the occasional red marks. This would be best for someone smaller with a 28 band.

The cups on this are a bit to big. They are very wide and I have empty space at the bottom of the cups towards the sides. The wire comes up high on the sides on my and digs in and rubs on the soft tissue by my armpit. Despite all this, the center gore still doesn't lay flat on my chest. Band is tight compared to freya deco in 30.

I love the look of this bra. I tried it on in nude and it was very pretty but also looked like it would work well as a nude daily bra. Unfortunately, I only could try on the closest they had to my size - a 30DDD. I am usually a 30F. It was a struggle to hook the bra and the band felt very strained. I think the cups were too small, and therefore pushing outwards to the size and stretching the band beyond its limits. The sides of the cups were digging in and struggled to contain all of my breast tissue. I still love the look of this bra, so I am going to try to find a 32DDD to try and hopefully that will resolve its issues.

I just got measured at Nordstrom and discovered I should be wearing a 30DDD rather than the 28" bras I was using. This bra is one I bought at my fitting because it is so supportive and comfortable! The style is a good one for me in terms of my breast shape? No gaping, completely smooth and gently uplifted. I love the subtle, pretty floral embellishment. Never thought of trying Wacoal but I love this bra!

So comfortable, fits wonderfully... no pulling, akward gaps, or bulges
