Wacoal makes bras I love. They rarely fit without alterations, but the materials and support are excellent. This bra has several design elements I sincerely appreciate:
1. Limited stretch straps
2. Wide straps (.7" like Comexim and Curvy Kate)
3. Silky smooth fabrics
4. 3 hook fastener (like Comexim and Curvy Kate)
5. Supportive band

I've had one hell of a time finding a bra that fits my short-waisted physique. My breast roots are short and often mistaken for a smaller size....or two. Even in the right size, wings and gores are too tall for comfort. Inspired by cupandahalf 's adventures, I will trim these wires shorter and/or replace the wires with ... shorter specimens. This will create more space for my center-full, close-set breasts and may allow the wire to sit in my IMF. Without alterations, this bra, like over 100 others, pushes out of my IMF quickly: center fullness will do that.

The cup is supportive, holds all my tissue easily, and the fabrics are very comfortable. I'll add some cotton flannel (thanks, maddy2596 ) to protect my sensitive nipples and feel a bit more comfortable when our temperatures soar beyond 100 degrees F. My lined bras are simply too HOT for summer.

Outstanding design characteristics and a cool bra for summer.

EDIT: Replacing the wires with #42 Bravo Bella wires dramatically improved my comfort. Still, I prefer padded wire channels in Wacoal Bodysuede, and I'll create a wire padding feature for Supporting Role. This seems a more breathable fabric than Bodysuede. Summer will soon declare a lightweight winner. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />
