Very Comfy Bra. Wide, but not too wide straps. Very supportive. Cup and Band are to size.

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).

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.

I love this bra, and it was a total surprise. I didn't expect the 36DDD to fit, because I'm usually more of UK F/US G. But I think the cup must run a little big, because the wire and cup shape is the same as my Panache Porcelain Moulded T-shirt Bra (3376) in 36F and the cup is even a tiny bit roomier. Granted, the gore doesn't quite tack, but that's because my breasts are different enough sizes that I usually have to split the difference. I also think the gore might not be quite wide enough, but I've never found ... a gore wide enough for my wide-set breasts. I've got a little room in the cup on the small side and it's maybe a little tight on the large side, but ultimately I'm not spilling out or getting either quadboob or wrinkled cups so I call that a win. Sizing up might let the gore tack but then I'd be swimming on my smaller side. EDIT: Yeah, no. I tried it on in my correct size and it fits well on both sides. This bra is slightly stretchy in the cup, so it might be good for people kind of in between sizes, but you should buy your regular size in this bra. All the good things I say below still apply, though.

There are several genius things about this bra. It's made of that lightweight spacer foam, which really does work to keep you cool on hot days. And unlike my Fantasie Rebecca (2024), which I felt didn't give quite enough lift and only has a small panel inside the cup at the side to keep your breasts center, this bra has a support panel that covers about half the cup, so it's lightweight but still lifts.

Also, I love the shape of this bra. It has a more open, balconette shape that I love. The top if the cup is super-rounded, which fits my FOB boobs really well. The shape at the top of the cup is similar to the Panache Porcelain, but it's more flexible, so it conforms better to my breasts. The top of the cup is also just stretchy enough that I think it might accommodate some breasts with a little more fullness on top as well.

The bra comes up a little higher under the arm than I'd like and digs into the armpit a little, but this is the case with 99%of bras out there, and that's really the only drawback. Otherwise it's a comfortable, supportive bra that gives me the nice round shape I prefer.

I do find it hilarious that they call this style "Seduction" because it's such a basic bra. Still, basic was what I was looking for.

I love this bra, I own two of them. It's soft and unlined and it's the most comfortable bra I own. I can wear it all day without ever feeling it. What I especially love about it is the lining in the band, which is so soft and velvety and doesn't dig into my skin. I recently realized that my band size is probably more between 32 and 34, so it fits a bit looser than it ought to. I'll probably order a band size down/cup size up next time I need a new bra. The older of the two bras is showing some wear, in particular the fabric is starting to develop holes near the wire underneath my breasts, but given that I've been wearing it almost daily for three years, I'm okay with that level of wear and tear

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

This is the same review I left on Bare Necessities website: I’ve owned many bras in this style over 10 yrs, however, I’ve gained a good 25-30 lbs in that time, too. This change moved me into a category that makes for a completely different and frustrating bra shopping experience. I visited many sites for reviews before my current purchase, including one from the UK which compares bra sizing and lists all the specs for this particular wacoal sports bra. It was helpful, however, Wacoal is far from “normal” sizing of other bras. First off, on their sizing chart, they tell you to add 4” to your actual ... band size. Then, the reviews mention over and over to either size up or down (usually most say up), due to discrepancies in fit.

I weigh 150 and just under 5’3” tall. I have a smaller rib cage, but a very round and heavy bust. I personally like a tighter fit and prefer to maximize my breasts to make my shorter waist seem slimmer. But, also, I will not forego comfort either!! I think am in between sizes currently. I measure 34” around comfortably, however the 34 band I always wore in the past has become too tight, 36” may be good for me, but in this particular bra, the sizing “tests” recommended for me by Wacoal, put me at 38” around and DD cup. I used to only wear a DD cup in this bra. BUT, like I said, I gained a lot and mostly in my boobs! Now, though, according to UK general sizing which accounts for band to cup size ratio, (not the added extra 4” like Wacoal), I would be a 34 H/HH. This translates to a U.S. size of 34K/L. This bra, and many American choices, don’t have that size available. So, essentially, this is wound up going up one band size and down 2 cup sizes for this Wacoal bra. Read more below regarding how I got to the pretty-close-to-perfect size for my ladies. It was process!!!

I’ve always loved this bra for everything it describes, but I was hesitant on ordering this time after reading the many comments on Wacoal sizing. Seems once anything larger than a DDD is introduced, you have to decide whether you are going to deal with the very tall gore height (middle bar between boobs) showing through your tops or the shorter version and it being somewhat concealed amongst your cleavage. I found this to be true as I ordered the 36G in this bra, as well, and it was oh so comfy, except for that one caveat! That bar is HUGE!! Unclassy, to say the least, and since I wear these as my everyday bras as well as workout bras, I would no longer be able to get away with the former in this size! I felt like the Terminator. This is why I can’t imagine wearing the UK-suggested size of 34H (besides Wacoal doesn’t make this in size K), but instead took my chances on going up in band and down in cups to the lower gore height in the DDD.

To be fair, the gore has never laid flat against my chest and has never affected my comfort or look either. If there was a band size in between, like 35” or 37”, I think it’d come closer to laying flat on me. But, as it stands, I found the 36 DDD, to be the closest fit, relatively, to my old 34DD I always knew and loved for years! Of course, over the years, due to the longevity of this bra, my smaller bras stretched out perfectly...until they no longer did. Lol. That’s how I got away with the incorrect sizing for so long, when I “should’ve been” wearing an H or K or whatever by now!! I lost track after awhile of everything alphabetically-speaking while on this journey! All of this involved actual measurements of my breasts in standing, bending, lying positions on the UK site, not just Wacoal’s confusing, sizing considerations. I did take it all in, but I’m still perplexed and frustrated by the bra size differences between brands and amongst countries. This is just my experience and I wanted to share it in case it will help anyone in the same position!!

I know this is a long post, but not near as long as all the time I’ve put into trying to find the best bra fit for me. As I said, I decided to keep the 36DDD (UK 36E), which reduces the gore height just enough to not stick out like a sore thumb for me. The only complaint I have is that the wing height on the side is a tad taller in the DDD vs the G, but also the wire isn’t as long as the G, making for a slightly uncomfortable rub...not under my armpits, but on the inside of my bicep, from the material that is at the end of the wire. Not the actual wire, though, thank God and that’s why this bra works for me. It’s made of sturdy construction, nonetheless!! Usually, it stretches out enough while wearing inbetween washes anyways, that I don’t notice. Only sometimes has it irritated me after 12 hrs of constant wearing and I can’t wait to take it off. Other than that, it is tight enough in the band when worn on the loosest hook, which will give plenty of room for stretch out in the long run. The straps are perfect and I feel so confident in this bra. I will take this tiny inconvenience in the HUGE picture (pun intended).

I am afraid of trying Wacoal actual suggested size for me (38DD), as I feel the band will be too loose and/or the cup size too small to encapsulate my breast the way I need to be comfortable. I will give that a shot next, though, just to compare. I figured since Wacoal says if the band is too loose, then go down a size (36) and up in cup (DDD), it might work and it did for me. I am very happy with my purchase and so relieved to have found quality with this bra that others don’t have.

Also to note, I ordered this in black, so the nude may be an even better fit since there are no dyes used there. I’ll order it next. Also, for comparison, I did try the Wacoal basic benefits t-shirt bra in 34G and 36DDD and there is NO comparison...on comfort, sizing or quality!!! Sent those puppies back immediately! Quality or sizing cant be compared to this sports bra. Bare Necessites is always awesome with return policy. It was 10 days and I had my money back for the bras I didn’t keep! Thank you to BN!I hope this post is helpful to people and if you made it this far, I hope you find your perfect bra for all the time you’ve invested in your research!!

Incredibly comfortable, but stretches very quickly. I always buy them small enough that I need to use the largest hook. After about 100 wears, it's so stretched out that even the tightest hooks aren't tight enough. But it's so comfortable, I end up buying another one anyway.

Great fit when I was a 36 DDD, it's comfortable and the fabric feels great.

I so want to love this bra. When my breasts expand, 34DDD becomes uncomfortably tight. So, 36DDD was a logical choice. But, with the scaling, the top of the cup under my arm tugs too tightly unless the straps and band are fully loosened. Considering I have a 28" underbust, this isn't a good solution for me. Sigh.

After trying to find narrow wires for my center-full, close-set, omega-shaped breasts with no luck, I began trying wider wires with low gores. Success.

This is comfortable! The band is one of the two most comfortable I've ever worn (only 270+ bras https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> ). The other most comfortable band is the Amazing Assets Contour, http://www.bratabase.com/browse/wacoal/amazing-assets-853220/ The elastic and band fabric have nearly identical elasticity. The band feels like a gentle hug with absolutely no digging in. Additionally, the straps have limited stretch which provides wonderful support for heavier breasts.

NOTE: This band stretches 4" shorter than I would anticipate--32".

The ... cups stay in my IMF better than most. There is good immediate and apex projection. Center projection is shallow. And, 853220 is even more shallow near the gore. Overall, this bra runs 1 full size small. Typically, 36DD fits well in Wacoal, but I definitely need a 36DDD in this model. The cup edge is quite closed. For that reason, I would not recommend this for tall roots. Tall, center-full breasts...run.

The band and straps are the gems in this design. Easy to wear, round under thin knits, and supportive straps.... It is definitely worth keeping in my wardrobe.

Sizing up did not remedy the center shallowness problem. This bra pushed out of my IMF almost instantly, had unfilled cup space in the top, and quadding near the gore. The Black band is tighter than the Cayenne band.

The cups are deep at the apex. So, this bra would fit those with less immediate projection needs and more apex projection.

Very comfortable; excepting the too wide gore.

Fits exactly like the Retro. Tried on in my local shop, owner commented she hadn't had it fit anyone else who tried it. Fits best a full all over, separated type. Did not buy because I needed to replace my sports bra first and because I would much prefer the blue or black colorways, but may yet pick it up if still there next time.

This is smooth and comfortable for a while, though my left boob (which is bigger) tends to ever-so-slightly pop out at the top. It's not enough that it's a problem, though. The straps are placed nicely and don't fall off, and are fully adjustable, which is nice for women with slender shoulders. I always have problems with my straps falling off, but not with this bra.
My only issue is that the center gore part digs into my skin after a while and leaves red, irritated marks after I've worn it for a day.
I don't really like the shape this gives me. It pushes my breasts farther off to the sides than I prefer.

Glad I held on to this one when I lost weight, as it still fits with regain.

I had purchased this bra for a friend when there was a zulily sale on them, and it was sitting here in my house. When I saw that bratabase recommended it for me (I've always worn a 36DD or 38DD, never DDD) I thought, why not? Imagine my surprise, when it fits PERFECTLY. I have wide set boobs, very hard to get cleavage, alsothey sort of hang low, so can be a weird shape if pushed up the wrong way. This looks beautiful. Perfect, rounded shape, no spillover from the sides under my armpits, and no constant readjustment in the front. Just to be sure, I tried on ... another wacoal that I own in a 36DD, and the difference was amazing. All these little issues I'd had before, thinking it was just my weird sad boobs, or my fatness that made me look lumpy and uncomfortable, were gone as soon as I put on the right size. What a revelation! I do find that I like a little less stretchy of a strap, but these are not the bounciest I've found, so they may be ok. No poking in my armpits either, which is a plus.

Makes a good T-shirt bra, even though it doesn't fit quite right it looks fine under a shirt.

Exceptionally comfortable and pretty. On clearance @Nordstrom Rack.
Possibly not as structured support as other bras.
