This bra is seriously supportive for larger sizes (42H), but the picture is a bit misleading in terms of how much coverage there is (much more than shown!). In the large size, the wire at the center and the fabric at the top of the cups come up so high that I can't wear this under any of my clothes without the bra showing (and I'm pretty long between my shoulders and my chest). This would be fine if you only ever wear turtlenecks or high crew neck shirts. Returning.

Based on reviews, I ordered this a size up from my normal Wacoal size. It is still WAY too small. Based on the photos, the back curves up from the hook area to the straps. Not so on the one I received - the straps are almost straight up from the hooks, so even if it fit the straps would be very close to my neck and show under anything other than a crew neck or turtle neck. I love Wacoal but this one is a complete dud.

I have been a faithful Wacoal wearer for 15 plus years. The past few times (past year) the bras have caused severe pain because the underwire cuts into me right under my armpit. I don’t know if they aren’t capping the wire or if they are using inferior materials but it is a big disappointment.
Kudos to Zappos as they refunded my last two purchases because the darn underwire practically punctured me!!!!
In search of a new bra manufacturer....

I really like this color and the support is excellent. I am a 36DDD. I wore this bra the entire day and it did not dig into my shoulders and it provided great coverage

I have never reviewed a piece of attire before, but that's how much I love this bra! It's truly comfortable; you literally don't even realize you're wearing it. Yet it does what it should -- holds you up and holds you steady (no bouncing when you walk!). The straps never slip off the shoulder because they're angled in at the back -- and that also means that they don't show only your shoulder under sleeveless tops, either. Wash it gently and it'll last for quite a long time.
My only complaint: more colours, please!!!! I'd probably buy one of every colour, because basic black and beige get soooooo boring.

Best bra I've found in a long time. I'm a 42DDD and this does a lot for my shape and is super comfortable. Might be a little pricey but it's the old adage-you get what you pay for.

I love the soft pink color. Very comfortable! Just wish there were more colors to choose from. Don't like stark white. I also love how the straps are made. They don't fall off the shoulder.

I purchased on sale as I was not sure of the fit. I have real breast. Usually wear 32HH but 34H fits very well. I have worn Wacoal bars for years in 34 H. 5'6", 140 pounds, 41-29-41, age 61.

The best bra I've ever had!! The support and fit is just right. So comfortable I don't even know I have it on - and it's an underwire!

I can't get over how much I'm in love with the Basic Beauty Full Figure, this is the bra I've always dreamed of. After countless bras I've found my all-time favorite, I'm so happy I'll be buying more in every color and making this my go-to. Love it more than Awareness, Perfect Primer, Softly Styled, even among my other Wacoal bras this one stands out as their tried and true absolute best. I never want to take this bra off it's so comfortable. Great fit and styling all around that doesn't come up too high in front or under the arms. Love the pretty picot trim and classy signature "Wacoal ribbon," it's simple but such a beautiful bra. The underwire shaping and support is perfect, the material is flawless, I love the smooth satiny fabric and how the cups feel holding me in. I tried the T-shirt bra first not realizing it was contoured and prefer this one, it's a lot lighter than the Spacer bra and fits me better. So glad I started wearing Wacoal, thank you so much for such amazing underwear and lingerie.

My favourite Wacoal bra by far. Love that the fabric has a true satin texture that clothes dont cling to. Other wacoal fabrics arent quite as smooth. Close, but they still have a bit of a brushed satin texture rather than a true non-clingy satin. Love the jewel detail in the centre as well.
My gripe with this range is the patterns are never very nice, and they dont keep a wider range of colours and sizes in stock. When they get a truly unique subtle colour like arctic ice, they seem to abandon it. Ancient water wasnt quite the same. Would also like some more wild neon tones for those type of nights.
This bra is incredibly comfortable. It's one of the very rare ones I can sleep in and not notice I left it on. The simplicity somehow makes it sexier than its lacier counterparts. And the truly unlined single layer fabric makes it feel like wearing no bra at all.
Wacoal, please double down on this line and show it the attention it deserves.
