I was so sad when this beautiful bra didn't fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> it so soft, light weight, elegant and the color is wonderful ( I have the blue one) I liked it so much I wear it even knowing I have to pull all day long!! My wonderful husband bought it for me, so I couldn't try it on before purchasing it, I am pretty sure the 32 DDD would have fit just right!! It runs a bit on the smaller side. The back is sooooo comfortable!!

Update February 5 2017:
I am not so sad anymore, since I started exercising 5 months ago ... I lost about 18 lbs. and maybe two cup sizes ( that is not good news) and this beautiful bra now fits almost perfectly https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> iam 43 years old and my Brest tissue has changed a lot, exercise has done wonderful things not only in my body, but in my life, but loosing Breast tissue in not something that I wanted, it just comes with the territory, most of my beautiful bras don't fit anymore, but this one does now. I still think it does run on the smaller side.
Great quality bra.

This review is for the B-smooth 3/4 Bralette in size 34.
According to Wacoal's size chart, this size is for someone with a 34C-D bra size.

The band is small for a 34, stretches to about 32". Of course I'm not sure how it will hold up over time, but that's definitely not too loose right away. It feels firm but not restricting.

The cups are hopelessly too small for my 32DD/30E boobs, altough it's a sister size of the 34D this bralette is recommended for.

I'm not sure if sizing up to a 36 would work. The 36 band might be okay, but I'm worried about the narrow straps that don't look comfortable or reliable at all.

Friend recommended this bra to me. Fits well, is a bit tight, so I wear it on the most loose setting, which is fine since it will stretch with time. The cups are a bit tight on the top, but I'm not quite quad-boobing. The band in the back goes pretty low, which is nice for shirts that are low-cut in the back. Can comfortably wear this bra for an entire work day (8-12 hours).

Decided to try this based on recommendations and my love for the Embrace Lace bra.

This bra is a satisfying plunge, with a very low gore. The cups don't seem as tall as on other plunges - they stay out of my armpits.

It is made of a thicker but more luxurious feeling fabric than Embrace Lace. Hides nips better, but it kind of begins to be uncomfortable much like a Deco. It does give me a nice shape like a Deco though!

Gore is wider, and cups are wider but deeper than some plunges.

So overall I like the plunge and feel like it adds some sex appeal where my Embrace Lace is more covering, but I'm passing on it because it's not comfortable.

I think I would recommend this bra to someone who is seeking a plunge bra and needs slightly shorter cups than Deco has.

Even though Nordstrom didn't have a 30F or even 32E for me to try on, it turns out the 34DD on the tightest hooks fits well. The shape is great for a wireless bra. The Wacoal How Perfect bra provides less lift than my Ewa Michalak 3D underwired bras, of course, but I'm quite happy with the Wacoal's profile, which is rounded. It's fuller and more rounded below the nipple and less cakes-on-a-plate above the nipple than I get from my underwired bras. By comparison, my Natori Yogi wireless moulded bra's shape is uninspiring from the side, less rounded and less perky.

From the front, the How Perfect kind ... of makes the bust look fuller, but not every bra has to make my upper body look slimmer. The cloud-like softness of the cups and the smoothness of the band make up for the maximizing shape. The texture of the entire bra is soft and comforting.

I saw a 30DDD in this bra in the navy color at Nordstrom Rack a couple days ago. The band was so tight, I couldn't fasten it. I'm going to exchange this 34DD for a 32DDD from Love4Pollinators. I expect the 32 band will fit like a 30 band in most other bras.

This is a a very basic but plainly pretty t-shirt bra. It's really well made, the band is a true 32, nice and snug and doesn't stretch much. The cups run a little deep for my shallow shape, and they are tall. The thin spacer fabric is a nice departure from the normal foam. Being a small 34B/32C I never really thought/cared much about support...until wearing this bra. I have to say it's a game changer for me. This bra provides a ton of support the likes I have never experienced, I think partly because of the high quality band, tall wings and 3 row 3 column hooks (most bras in my size are padded with very narrow bands and thin straps). My only complaint is the stitching on the shoulder straps is a little irritating, hoping it will soften up after a few washes.

This is a great bralette. It is versatile and very comfortable. The lace looks so nice under a camisole and the straps can adjust whether your camisole is a racerback or not. I would say the support for this bra is very good for having to underwires or foam. I would also say that this bra runs small in the band. I bought a 34 and I wear a size 30 or 32 band in my other bras. One thing I like most about this bralette is that the band around the ribcage is wide. I think this replay helps to amp up the support.

Same as Wacoal La Femme Contour Bra, Nordstrom had them change the embroidery in the band and called it an exclusive. Fairly stretchy band. Often Wacoal feels tight in 34 on me, not this one. Moulded foam cups are fairly firm and seem to have sufficient depth for my I'm guessing average projection. The foam is firmer on the sides than the rest of the cups, so looking straight on, my breasts are within my silhouette. Good uplift, puts the girls high and up front. Bonus - it's a plunge! So I fulfilled my T shirt bra wish and plunge wish. I'm happy with this for having gotten it on sale.

This summer has been filled with mornings of agonizing over my bright Cleo bras showing through my favorite light t-shirts and worse afternoons walking 1.5 miles home in a sweaty moulded cup bra. I tried a few beige unlined bras, but the fit was never right.

So after grabbing this bra in purple on impulse at a sale, I decided to grab one more in beige to solve my problem.

This bra, as I said before, isn't the prettiest. But it serves its purpose. It disappears under shirts (except occasional nipple showing, fine by me). The cups are very stretchy and forgiving, allowing for more cup volume than other ... 32D bras I've tried. The band fits a bit tighter, though I believe the beige color runs a bit larger. The straps on it do not adjust short enough for me, but otherwise I love it. The lift you get isn't wonderful, but it's so comfy.

As a side note, the matching high waisted brief is so comfy... but terrible quality. I wore them once and the fabric was pilling all over. Not even worth $2.99 on sale. This could indicate that the bra might not hold up too well either - I'll update the reviews if they end up pilling too.

This was my first well-fitting bra when I had more weight on me. It is soft and cozy with a bit of stretch. The cups were my first unlined cups. They are seamless. The straps are still firm, and if you are on the larger end of the 32DDD size range, it would still be supportive enough for you to wear around the house.

This bra's measurements have been altered

I probably bent the wires outward.

Bottom of the cup is the best fit! And it's 1 of only 2 that have ever given me half decent cleavage. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
However...
Not too supportive.
The wires are WAY TOO forgiving. Whatever shape they have off the body seems completely gone after i put it on.
The sides (wire strength? Length? Or wing height?) just completely collapses. I usually have a bit of a problem under there, but... Sheesh.

Has interior panels to hold push up pads. And while the fabric is exquisite, it's a little itchy (then again, i never wear lace).

So beautiful, im thinking of keeping it since ive been loosing weight (plus i have matching undies and stretchy lace teddy).

I was wrong when I bought this bra at Nordstrom back in 2012.It felt great in the fitting room I Thought. But at home I realized the cups were not right for my boob shape . The bra is well made. I'm sure it would work for someone else.

I have a pretty projected shape, so this one was pretty unflattering; it made my boobs look like they were hanging halfway down my chest. The band dug into my ribs pretty painfully too. Part of the problem is just that my shape makes strapless bras hard to find overall...

This is my first Wacoal in the correct size! I think it's a really pretty style, love the rounded shape from the diagonal seam - my boobs are so squishy that a horizontal seam gives me that attractive "left too long in the mammogram machine" look. If it were a perfect bra, I'd have the tiniest bit more room at the top edge of the cups. This bra is brand new and there's a thin strip of clear elastic along the top edge, it will probably relax a little with some wear. I feel like it has good support; there's a fair amount of coverage in this cup but it doesn't come up too high under the arms. I'd buy it again!

Great Tshirt bra if your good one is in the wash. Fabric is soft and comfy. Gore sits flat but is a bit low so I could see this becoming a problem at the end of the day. Straps are a tad too apart - sinks a bit into my armpits. Cups open a bit towards the gore. I need to lower the band to fill it but this means that the wire doesnt sit on my breast. Due to my breasts being a bit more far apart (three finger width between them) half cup are my best fits. Its difficult to find a plunge that fits well but this is the closest I have found T-shirt bra wise https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I remembered I loved this bra, but I forgot how MUCH I love this bra. I had a wonderful lilac on purple that was eaten by the same dog rubbing her head against my legs as I take pictures of this one. She was a nervous new puppy then, but I still don't leave any lacy things where she can get to them! This is the brand new color that just came in to my local store, a kind of mysterious blue/purple that shifts depending on the light. The detailing on this is great, from the bottom of the band to the wings all in lacy patterns. Its ... not surprising how this model sticks around! In this colorway the contract color is a silvery lurex. The fit is soft and light once you pull yourself into the stretchy stretchy cups and totally perfect for my evenly full breasts, although, yes, I probably should have done a 36. I know the 36DDD definitely does not fit, though, unlike the Wacoal Retro Chic Full Figure Underwire Bra (855186) and the Wacoal Spot On Underwire Bra (855185) the cups are too tight (having previously tried it). So I would have to try a G. Next color!

Good fit and great shape as always with this bra. One cup down from my 36 band cup in other Wacoal styles (G). I did not fill the G when I tried to in store and had a wrinkle across the middle seam.

I had a 38DD when I was larger that I wore to death. Definitely will be buying more/more colors in the future.

This was the very first bra I owned that I purchased after getting fitted for the first time. It has amazingly comfortable u-band straps, lightly padded (but not too much), comes in great colors, wires are comfortable at the gore. It's so great I own 3! Sadly outgrown.

My best fitting molded cup bra! It would be great for wide set breasts since the center gore is wider than usual. The bra band is very snug. There aren't any bad things to say about this bra. The shape is closer to a plunge. It is not always good for shallow breasts, but it works for me since I am shallow in the center top but bottom/side heavy. The cup shape pushes enough breast to the center to appropriately fill the plunge without spilling out. I will definitely be purchasing this bra in more colors!

Update: I still love this bra, but I have sized up to a 30DDD.

This bra is completely not my style. I wear wireless bras, but usually nursing bras. This bra is super bland, even for a nude bra and it has a bit of padding. Nursing bras don't usually have any padding and come lacy and pretty now. They are also lined in cotton. Anyways- this is none of those things, but the sales lady suggested I tried and holy moly! It is comfy!!! The brushed mircofiber is so soft, not sure how breathable it will be til summer, but I paid $60 for it without thinking twice. I've never spent so much on a bra. Though it is shallow in the bottom of the cups, therefore it is not a perfect fit. There are wrinkles at the bottom of the cup. Though this may be a deal breaker with wires, in a wirefree it is not such a big deal. Love how comfy this bra is. If I ever find this cheaper I will buy more.
