Customer Reviews Wacoal Awareness Full Figure Underwire Bra 85567

Cup size on this was good, as I ordered up based on the other reviews I read. However, I found the straps to be way too short. Even on their longest extension the straps dug into my shoulders. For the cost, I want my bra to be super comfortable. I think I am just not cut out for the Wacoal brand. I have yet to find a style that fits and is comfortable at the same time.

Based on other reviews I ordered up a band size and found that was a good fit. Though this bra fit me pretty well I found it uncomfortable; the cups came up really high under my arms so I sent it back. It also looked more old lady-ish than I was expecting.

I tried this when they discontinued the lightly padded version. I used to wear this style and thought it would be ok. But the sizing and fit were so different, I had to return. What happened to this bra? I miss the other version so much, it was my perfect bra and I haven't found any to replace it. None of the other bras have the wider straps I need for my size, why??

I love the style and fit - EXCEPT I cannot keep the straps on my shoulders. I also have one of your other styles with 3 hooks in the back and it doesn't stay on my shoulders either but it is not as bad as this one.

Had bought this style before and had 3 hooks in back this one had 4 hooks and I'm short waisted they bunched up in the back. Couldn't wear them.

I don't know why, but the underwires are digging into my armpits really deep, so painful. I purchased the exact same ones a few years ago, they were comfortable.

I would have returned the 2 I bought because they run 2 sizes small in band and cup. After I received them my Mom passed away and I waited to long to return. So disappointed.

I wanted to try a different bra, have been wearing the Wacoal Perfect Primer Bra. I found this new bra very conservative and not as comfortable as the primer bra. Will go back to using primer bra in my next order.

Too small after following the sizing guidelines. Will have to return the unworn one. Frustrating.

I own several Wacoal bras that fit perfectly. This bra is described as full coverage, however, it runs small in the cup area near the underarm. The straps are very comfortable. Because it was a final sale, I will only wear it while at home.

Not a good choice for me. It's the same style as another bra I bought recently. But this one is uncomfortable and I'm barely able to fasten the hooks on the loosest hook. Why should the color make a difference in the fit? I'm afraid to try ordering 38D when I self measure and have other styles in 36D.

I bought this in a 42 DD, and once I was able to get it on it had great lift and support. HOWEVER the band is waaaayyyyyyy too small! I practically sprained a wrist trying to get it on. I measured it against two other 42DD Wacoal bras, and it was NOT the same bandwidth. I returned it, and had to go into Macys to try on a 44DD which was STILL too small! I tried a 44DDD out of curiosity (I'm a 42F in most other bras) and it did fit a little better in the band, strangely enough. The cups are so flattering and the straps are so comfortable, but I can't justify the price for something I would have to buy band extensions for. I almost went with the 44DDD, but I like having a more snug fit for better support.

Ordered 2 bras the awareness and Simone, both 36D. The band on the awareness bra was over an inch shorter than the other. Have to add an extender to be able to wear. I own an older awareness bra in a 34DD and it's band is at least an inch longer. You really need better quality control. Ps. Will give the Simone bra 5*****. Fits great and very comfortable.

The elastic feels loose and stretched out already. The size is right, the color gorgeous, but the quality of the elastic leaves a lot to be desired. I won't be ordering this model again.

I don't understand why this particular model is so tight in the back. I have it on my first hooks, but still tight. I've tried other Wacoal bras, and I do not have that problem. 36 DD

I have been in a 34 for years. And I could barely get this bra to clasp on the longest setting. I measured myself before buying and I measure 34, just to make sure. These bras run SMALL. I couldn't even tell if the cup was a good fit or not because of how small the rest of the bras was. Will have to return.

I always wear underwire, t-shirt bras and loved the look of this one with the wider straps. It is very pretty, but did not work for me at all. I'm almost 60, full busted and needed some lift, but this did not do the job for me. It was very uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I had to return it. Check the return policy at Wacoal; it was a pain and I was responsible for full shipping costs.

Please stop showing this bra as it used to be. I have three that I bought probably 15 years ago that I continue to wear. But the cup IS NOT unlined. It had a little bit of filling. About three years ago I called customer support and was told they might be bringing back the old style due to request. Please bring it back.

Very uncomfortable

This bra is too small. I ordered two bras and the other in my size is great but this one screams "I can't handle you lady" when I try to put it on. I need to return it and go up a size.

I bought this in my usual size but the bra straps slip all the time. I'm constantly adjusting them. I've adjusted straps and band but nothing seems to help. I'm very disappointed with it .

This bra is a good three inches smaller around the band than my other ones of the "same" size.That said, it is pretty and has good support. Just go up a band size.

Sizing is different from other bras. Pretty colors but never fits well. You have to ignore the size chart and try them on on the store.

This bra runs way small. The cup was just slightly too small, but the shoulder straps were so tight (and yes I loosened them as far as they'd go) that they started giving me shoulder pain. I thought at first I'd seriously injured my shoulder until I switched back to my other bras. I could maybe order a larger size and give it another try, but I don't dare

I decided to try a larger band size in my favorite style bra. Don't know what happened to Wacoal's quality control but the sides are shorter in height. I compared both sides of this bra (42D) to my other Awareness Underwire bras (38DD, 40D, and 40DD) and they are shorter than any of them. I have been wearing the Awareness Underwire bras for more than 10 years and hope this is a one-time occurrence.
