Gorgeous and comfortable. I thought the cups might give me a pointy shape, but they didn't -- totally rounded, lifted (bonus!), and natural. I'm a 38DDD and love the support and retro-sexy style. I wish I had tried this bra a long time ago.

You will not believe how comfortable this bra is! I was a little skeptical at first because the cups come up so high. However, the cup design makes this bra extremely supportive. I was also afraid that this bra would give me 1950s pointy cones but the silhouette is rounded, not pointy. (I'm 29 and wear a 34DDD). And it's pretty too! So if Wacoal wants me to be a spokesperson for them, they can pay me in Retro Chic bras!

I have worn bras for almost 5 decades and as I have gotten older had more and more difficulty with finding one I loved .. where I am a size 4 in clothing I am a 32DD in bra size and I want to look good .. I have fought bras so much .. I am an avid Wacoal bra purchaser but I have never had one I have loved so much ... it lifts me up perfectly (and at my age I need it ...LOL) .. tons of support ... I have a waist again ... YIPPEE and it looks fantastic with and without clothing! I loved it so that I went online and purchased a 2nd bra in another color as I could only find 1 in my size in the store in this model. I like my other bras ... I love, love, love this bra .. can you tell I am sold on it?

I wear this bra almost every day. I am very full busted, and this is the most flattering style for my figure. It makes me feel so much more confident when I have it on.

I am a 38DDD. This is the best bra i have owned in my life (i am 43). Not only is it supportive, it is quite pretty (even when comparing it to bras that can only come in small sizes). I have received compliments from both men and women on its 'presentation'! As important, it gives a great shape to my bust under any kind of clothing, it does not interfere much with low neckline shirts, and whenever it does, its veiled contour makes it sexy as opposed to a 'faux pas.' I now own several of these bras and have ordered several for my friends and family women who were all very happy with this purchase. I totally recommend it. And to women with large bra sizes, I can honestly say they will find the bra they have been looking for all of their life.

This bra is so comfortable. In fact, it's the best fitting bra I've ever worn. This bra's cups fully hold your breasts and the back band is nice and wide giving great support. I'll purchase this bra again.

This bra is somewhat limited in what you can wear it with, being full coverage and lacy, and it gets only a fair score on comfort, but it is so rare to find something truly supportive and flattering for large breasts that is also beautiful, that I have to give it highest marks. Seriously, this bra is gorgeous. Plus it comes in my difficult to locate 34 DDD size.

hands down the best bra I have ever worn. Usually after a long day at work, the first thing I do is "free the girls", but I wear this bra until I'm ready for bed, sometimes forgetting I have it on because it is so comfortable and makes me look like I'm 10lbs lighter.

My wife bought this lovely bra for me because I needed an underwire bra to lift, separate, and support my huge silicone breast forms. This lovely bra does everything I expect. This is one of the best bras designed with a generous cut to flatter and support my very large silicone breast forms in size 40H. This full-cup bra with reinforced side sling design provides exceptional support . The sheer top cup makes me feel even more feminine.

I love this bra. It is sexy and fun, something rare in a 36DDD. Because it fits so nicely it has a slimming effect.

The perfect "forget you're wearing it" bra. Full coverage, with slightly see through lace. I have looked everywhere for a bra with underwire that lies flat and comes up high enough in the middle, and this fits the bill. Super comfy, and the only downside is that the cups are just a tiny bit too "pointy" to be perfect. Also, it makes a nice summer bra - not too hot and gives a very natural shape. I wear a 38D and it was exactly true to size.

Very pretty bra (I got 'true blue'). This Wacoal runs true to size, whereas with the Wacoal Awareness Seamless underwire bra 85567, I had to go up a size. Go figure!

Though the most expensive bra I ever bought it is also the best, most comfortable and flattering. Worth the money. You will want to order up at least 1 or 2 cup sizes higher than other brands as Wacoal runs small.

I'm a 38DD and wear this bra nearly every day. It gives me a flattering bust line, and great lift! The straps are sturdy, the cups and wire are sturdy, all without being uncomfortable. And the bra is incredibly pretty. I bought it in the cappuccino color, although I would describe it as more of a dusty lavender. I wear this bra with shirts that are not too low-cut or strappy, because the coverage is close to full and the straps are a little wide. My only complaint is that by the end of the day the material can feel a little itchy along the band.

I have never had a bra that fit so well and was so comfortable - even after a 16-hour day! The bra is beautiful and makes me feel sexy - unlike other support bras. I love the lace. I love the way the band does not hitch up, but stays in place all day. I don't feel like I have been released from prison when I take it off at night. I can breathe. I can be active. I forget it is there. Wonderful!!

I love this bra. As a 32DD I have always had a difficult time finding a bra that fit correctly and that was comfortable. I was at the point where I wanted a reduction. When I went in for a fitting and the lady brought this bra for me to try on I feel in love. It makes me feel good about myself and sexy. I don't feel the need to be covered up because it fits right. I have this bra in each color and won't wear another style. I no longer feel like my bust is in the way, the fit and lift is correct and I love how my natural shape comes through.

I was wearing a 42DD, had no idea a 40H would fit so well. Its a little tight in the band but support and lift is unbelievable.

Not every DDD is built the same. Some need more covereage atop and others need more side support; some need both. I think more banding below cups would be helpful for those who need more support for comfort.

This is by far the best bra ever for a full bust. After being fitted for a bra I was discouraged by my size. Until I tried Wacoal. Not only did it fit like a glove- it's a beautiful bra and made me feel so gorgeous and like my size matters. Thanks Wacoal!

I've been searching for forever to find a bra that fits like this. The underwires are narrow unlike the retailer I had been buying from before. Most bras are made with a wide underwire and set far apart between the breasts. The projection is perfect on this bra.

I finally found a bra that provides AMAZING lift and support! This bra has honestly changed my life..and helped me find my waist! I'm sure every well endowed woman will understand the struggle to find a great bra that provides support and LIFT, is comfortable, and looks great. I had come to the conclusion that no such bra existed...until my sister introduced me to this bra, and I have since recommended it to all my girlfriends. I've gone back several times to buy more, and is the ONLY bra I wear...I wear it every day, and I even wear it to the gym! The only draw back is it gets loose a little faster than I'd like (maybe its the gym usage!), but it still manages to fit well and provide the lift I want. I don't know what I'd do if this bra was ever discontinued! Of course, such an amazing bra will never be discontinued...it better not!!! :D
