Customer Reviews Wacoal Retro Chic Full-Busted Underwire Bra 855186

This bra offers the lift and support a full busted gal needs. Breasts are contained and supported with no "sinking down" in the cups. There is absolutely no digging in of the band and the wire does not poke at all. The only unflattering thing about this bra is one might be limited with very sheer or thin t shirts because the seams tend to show through. Not a problem with heavier fall season clothing or most any clothing unless the shirt is very trim fitting.

I was having trouble with the bras I had, it seems I had changed sizes. I went to be fitted and the saleswoman gave me this bra to try on. she said it was her "go to bra" to help her find the correct bra for her customers. I fits like it was made for me! It is not "Matronly" at all. It is a very beautiful bra. What is really nice about this bra is even though I'm a 34DD, the bra has thin staps, so you can wear it under tank tops, many of the larger size bras have thick padded staps. I have one in every color, and plan to buy another of each. I love this bra!

Tried this one on at the store and had to buy it. They did not have the other colors in my size so I ordered them online. Also purchased the panties to match. This bra is so comfortable yet very sexy in a retro way. You wont be disappointed!

This is my favorite bra and the only one I buy. I love the fit and the look, but the toast color is depressing. Wish they would bring back ivory.

Good overall fit in 40C; although some "extra" fabric in cups; the 38C was too tight. So difficult to replace the Wacoal I have worn for years - style #85121, but I keep trying new styles.

It's a really pretty bra. It's lacy and delicate. It has 3 hooks but, unfortunately, I need 4.

The straps are not elastic and continually fall off my shoulders. Otherwise I love the retro bra.

Wonderful lift! Best bra I've owned, however, I wish there wasn't a seam across the center of the cup. You can see the seam through clothing.

I love the fit of this bra. First time in last 40 years "the best fit". It keeps in place, very comfortable nice thin fabric does not add more volume to big bust. the only minus part is it is see through. Nipples shows. I wish they would keep the everything same but put a soft fabric liner inside to hide the nipples. So we don't need to worry about what kind of shirt we are wearing. Hope fully they will come up with some decent solution soon. Then i will only buy these bras. Though i still bough almost 7or 8 already.

So glad I'm finally able to enjoy beautiful lingerie in my size. I had been relegated to whites and beige only over the years. All that has changed now with these lovely colors in very supportive bras for full-figured women!!!

I love the style as it really supports the breasts, as opposed to most modern bras which squash them against the chest wall. The only negative is the lace part of the band: it is quite scratchy, not soft enough and leaves excoriations under the band, that are red and hurt! The cups fabric and shape are great.

Very pretty bra but not for me I returned it

I love the fit and lift of this bra, but after 5 years of wearing and washing, the back is still SO itchy, it drives me nuts! I could get rid of it but the fit is so good. Any ideas on softening it up??

I liked the look of this bra. It is very supportive but I find a bit scratchy I thought it would become my favorite bra but I like the minimizer better. Very supportive though.

The Black bra material needs to be black all the way through (replace the white mesh) making it uniform just like all the others. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so

This bra is very cute and does lift the bust as advertised. The underwire is much more stiff than I expected but it will not keep me from wearing it. The cups are just lace!! I misunderstood and thought the cups would be a thicker fabric like most but it's just lace, so your boobs will stick outward rather than be pushed together. Again, I will definitely be wearing, just be aware of what exactly a retro fit entails!!

Pretty supportive bra that really separates! It's the only Wacoal bra I've found at department stores that will fit me right now at sister size 34I US (I wear 32GG UK / 32J US and have had to mostly move on to other, harder-to-shop-for brands made by the same parent company). It provides a natural shape, so it probably won't be for you if you're looking for a rounded shape. Don't let the natural shape or "Retro" in its name scare you; I'm in my 20s and find it to be really flattering under my shirts (and I DON'T do Rockabilly/Pin-up fashion). Cons: I wish Wacoal would expand sizing to include a 32 band at a J cup because I can see the 34I sister size stretching out soon and not being able as supportive (I already had to wear it at the tightest hook when I first bought it). Also, Wacoal, please please please make it available at 32J and 34I in more colors than Toast! Don't get me wrong, I appreciate its availability in the beige nude color that is Toast, but I want in on the fun that is Wild Wind, Toadstool, Barbados Cherry, etc. too and would gladly get the matching underwear and other Wacoal underwear and lingerie (Wacoal makes it easy with the color names) if it was. In fact, you're probably scaring away a base that can't fit into b.tempt'd's size range but struggles to find Wacoal's UK-sized brands in store. Toast colorway is great for the everyday, but I'd be lying if I didn't say the matronly feel of full coverage cups in beige nude lace didn't scare me away from trying this style for a few years.

I bought this today and I put it on. I think it's comfy. But it's full coverage and I don't like this feature. Everything is good, just it is not the type I like. I am not happy with this purchase.

My most fav bra. Just wish they would make it in all black, the reason for my four star rating.

I liked it; I just didn't like the Cloud Blue color, and it was a little uncomfortable.

I love this bra. Own several. I'm a 44 H and wish the straps were wider and padded a bit on the shoulder part so as not to leave deep grooves.

I have 3 bras in this style.. I loved the 2 seam construction of it because for me it provides the support I need to make my outside clothing more attractive. The ONLY reason I rated it a 4 instead of a 5 is that I wish it was not a lace fabric but rather micorfiber, it would be much more softer; otherwise it is a great bra .

this is very good bra only problem is when I am standing it is fine when I sit down the bones dig into arms & chest under the breast this makes it uncomfortable

good coverage fits well

Getting used to bra feels great
