Customer Reviews Wacoal Basic Beauty Underwire Bra

I love the look of this bra but within a couple of days (hadn't even washed the bra yet) one of the hooks in the back pulled out. I will need to return this one.

Perfect fit around chest size.. but sooooo tight around the band and the underwire when up pretty high under arms! Very uncomfortable!

Very disappointed in the fit of this bra style. The straps have minimal extension for a better fit. The band is more snug and has little to no stretch in it. I've tried several different styles and the minimizer is the best fit for me personally.

This bra runs really small. I've been wearing Retro Chic style for years in 36G (have others in 34H too); ordered this one in 36H. I could barely put it on, the band was so tight. And 4 hooks wide! And then even the cups were too small fitting more like a minimizer squeezing and compressing my breasts. awful. On the plus side it's very sturdy and has great support if you don't care about breathing. I have to return it.

WAY too small in the band. The straps are also very short. The leaves fabric was cute, so too bad the cut is tiny. I have 4 Wacoal bras from the past year that are 36F or G and are slipping around in the band, so I sized down to 34G in this and can barely close the tabs on the longest hook.

I always loved this brand, but ever since it now has 3 hooks in the back, I can't wear it anymore. Back to my other brand now.

I'm very hard to fit and desperate for a size 36 i in a comfortable bra. I need straps that are close to my neck so that my shoulders do not hurt, but the largest cup I can get is a with 38H. Because I was told that size would work for me I ordered the 38H. The 38" around is too large for my back so my breasts slip out of the bottom of the cup. Very uncomfortable. Other than that the bra is very comfortable on my shoulders as the straps are closer to my neck than most bra straps. The quality is excellent. I wish, wish, wish they would make a 36 I. Then I'd give a rating of 5 stars

This bra has been my go to Wacoal in 34 DD for decades, but recently I have found that the DDD fits me better, in some styles. I ordered this bra in 34 DDD but the band was too tight! I returned it.

Very inconsistent sizing. Fit more like a 32 DDD Another style, same size, fit much better

The shoulder straps are very, very short, even fter expanding as far out as possible.

Love the material but the band is a good two inches shorter than my other 44D bras. I had to use an extender on it to get it to fit.

Thought I was saving some money by buying an unusual color. This bra is cut small- both band and cup. I wish they would disclose this in the description of the markdown . I have always bought the same size, type of bra-fit great. Not this one.

Not happy with this item after first washing decorative stitches on out edge are reveling out.

I find Wacoal bras small for size. I usually take 40 or 42 but find these bras too tight . Ordered 44 but not much difference. Beginning to think Wacoal's sizing is more "One Size Supposed to Fit All". Find other brands more true to size.I am not going to order anymore Wacoal

I bought this bra hoping to love it but I don't! It's tight and the straps are digging in even though I have them as far as they can go. I take a 34ddd and I can't wear it. Very disappointed.

ordered 42 C the cup size was too big and 42 was very tight. Not an actual 42 in my opinion. Need to return

I always wear 34 D but this bra had small cups

Doesn't have the support & comfort of the Bodysuade bra I have worn for years. I prefer a wide strap

The fit is strange. It's not a 42C. That's the size I have bought for a long time. It's smaller. The material is not up to Wacoal standards.

I had this style already and it fit perfect. Ordered the same bra(style and size) just different color and it is smaller around and very uncomfortable. Very disappointed. Why can't sizing be consistent

For one thing I ordered a 44DDD. It was clearly mismarked as it was the exact same size around the middle as my Wacoal 42's. I'm so tired of getting bras tagged one size and not that size. I hate going to Macy's, but this is ridiculous to wait all this time and this happens. Where are their product checkers at Wacoal?

This bra went so ridiculously high on my chest that I would have to only wear crew neck shirts as anything lower would show the bra. It fit my cup size perfectly and was very comfortable but the high neckline would render it useless for 90% of the shirts I usually to wear. Also because it goes up so high in the front it also goes up very high in the back, putting it at an uncomfortable area to fasten. Hopefully it is just because of the size, because that does not seem to be the case with the model photo, but I chose this bra because it came in the extended sizes. Ultimately, it is a very comfortable bra, but I ended up going with a Natori instead.

I think I probably would have rated this bra at least 4 stars had the straps been long enough to adjust. I'm very short, only 5' 3" and I let the straps out as far as I could but the bra still is to high on my shoulder blades in the back. Very annoying to say the least. I won't buy again.

I liked the other one better. It had 4 hooks & was wider under the arms.

I have purchased Wacoal bras for several years ..... I am finding that your DDD cups are not standard from bra to bra.
