This bra does a great job of hoisting everything upwards and is comfortable - however, the quadraboob and side spillage is massive. I will be buying this bra several cups sizes larger.

This bra was the 1st of the 2 I bought back in 2007 to wear with my 2 silicone breastforms(size#7) from Amoena. I bought this 36D that I used with a extender. a month or so later I bought the same model in it's sister size of 38C. I didn't know about sister sizes back then but the wonderful SA who fit me did. I just didn't realize it then. I must say both sizes of 36D and 38C work well with my forms and very comfortable.

Despite the uncomfortable fabric, the poking my armpit, and maybe the cups being a smidgen too small, I'll keep this one. It's not an everyday bra; the lace does show through shirts a little bit, and it's not terribly comfortable, but true to the name, it'll be a 'dress up' bra. Since plunges don't work with me, I'll just wear a lacy full coverage like this with my dark dresses. It's a sheer bra, but thanks to the lace being a distraction I don't think show-through is that bad. It's lined on the lower part of the cup and side with a sheer, nude fabric that helps hide the nipple. The gore is also very close most of the way down, which is good for my close-set boobs. Straps are fully adjustable, and the wire is stiff. I might pad underwires under the arm if wearing it for long becomes too pokey, which I suspect it might.

Pros: When I first bought this bra, it was a dream compared to my previous, stretched-out 34 band bras. Everything on the bra is very soft and comfortable and it gives me a nice, round profile. Plus, while it doesn't give me a completely smooth profile, it does pull my breasts mostly out of my armpits. Some might find the straps a bit too wide, but I wasn't bothered by them.
Cons: After six months it has definitely stretched out and, unfortunately, the straps are not fully adjustable. The foam lining isn't as thick as I would like, so show-through isn't completely prevented under thin shirts. The first week I had it, the center underwires did poke me a little, but I got used to it and it doesn't bother me anymore. (I had never had underwires this high, either.)
Overall, I would definitely recommend trying this bra if you fall into the size range. It is a great t-shirt bra. (If only they made it in bands smaller than 32!)

i seem to hover on the edge of US 32DDD/F and US 32G, which unfortunately means that this bra is just a tad too small. the band seems pretty loose as well, and the lace trim is pretty itchy. it's cute though and has a nice shape.

very pretty. surprisingly opaque and even seems to prevent some nipple show through. kind of pointy appearance that i'm not too fond of and squishes my boobs in the middle quite a bit.

I hate this bra. The underwire digs and pokes into my armpits and as a result I really can't wear it longer than 5 minutes. The cup is constructed in three parts- one upper and two lower parts like many balconette bras. This bra offers very little support because the strap attaches to the upper third of the cup's fabric and not the bottom half of the cup. The design is pretty though.

It definitely has full coverage. I'm short and the sides do come up to my armpits, however the wire in them does not come up as high and so I'm not poked. I'd say it fits "true to size" that is I measure 36 underbust, 44 bust, and come out to 36H US, which is exactly this size. I tried the 38G and 36G just in case, and in both cases the center gore did not rest against my sternum comfortably like this size does. I don't like how round it makes my boobs look. It feels like it minimizes and flattens me out. The cups are stretchy. They completely cover my boobs, which feels like too much since I'm so short. But overall I feel very secure in this bra.

This is a nice looking bra. Aside from the quad-boob effect I get, and the band riding up because it is too big, it's fairly comfortable (this is the size I wore before I discovered there were places to buy bras other than department stores!).

The straps are fully adjustable, which is nice. The cups are soft foam. The lace band is not itchy and is fairly stiff.

The center gore doesn't lie flat, but the cups properly cover my breasts.

The bra is comfortable and none of it itches or irritates my sensitive skin.

The band fits snugly for my 29 in. ribcage and the underwire fits well on the sides.

The cup material is soft and it is one of my most comfortable bras.

The center gore lies flat, but is too high and digs into my sternum.

The cups don't have padding so there is nothing to give shape to my breasts.

It is, however, my prettiest bra because of the transparent cups and side panels.

The band had to be shortened about three inches to fit me.

The bra is comfortable and none of it itches or irritates my sensitive skin.

The cup material is soft and it shapes me beautifully.

The band runs small. I really like the design and quality of the bra, it's very pretty and well-made. The band feels very sturdy like it will hold its stretch for a long while, and the straps have a non-slip texture.

The cups are too small and they give me a significant quad-boob.

This bra fits me perfectly. It is a minimizer, so my 32G boobs look smaller and very perky. It lays nicely under t shirts and other clothing. The cups sit high, so it doesn't work as well with low cut tops or tanks. It is also very plain and not terribly sexy. It is the only bra I have that fits properly though.

This is the most comfortable bra, I have ever owned. Does well to minimize without completely flattening.

Bra fits perfectly, but the band fabric is a little itchy by the end of a long day.

I LOVE this bra! It is so beautful on. I purchased it at Nordstrom Rack where there was also a large selection of Freya and Panache bras. This Wacoal beat out the competition by a mile. It is so comfortable and gives my breasts a great shape. I've only worn it a few times, so we'll see how it holds up.

I very much like this bra. It has good form and minimizes without squishing you. It's also quite lovely - I love the lacy leaf pattern. The back will ride up over a few hours, but that's pretty common.

The bra really couldn't be prettier and the stretch lace cups are not itchy at all. Unfortunately, the cup size is way too small, even my smaller breast is popping out the top. I've come to the conclusion that this brand will never tack properly because it isn't meant for breasts my shape. Even one I tried in an H cup doesn't completely contain my breasts and tack. Because the cups are too small the outer underwire stabs into tissue and the additional side support wire left some pretty nasty bruises after a full day of wear which was weird because the band doesn't feel too tight (I can fit nearly my whole hand under the back). I liked how wide the straps sit but I don't think most ladies will, my shoulders are a little wide. Time to give up on Wacoal and move on to another brand.
