Customer Reviews Wacoal Retro Chic Full-Busted Underwire Bra 855186

This is the best bra I have ever purchased and it gives very good support and great shape. I am a 34G and it fits perfectly. My only problem is that I have an arthritic thumb so buckling the bra behind my back is exceptionally difficult because the hook and eye area offers absolutely no extra fabric. This makes it difficult for my right hand to hold the fabric behind my back.

Great support with a nice lift. I was skeptical at first with the lace thinking that it would show through my blouses - nope, no-show...not even the seam. It is a tight fit but not an uncomfortable fit - this is my theory the lift is better because of the snug fit. I have always worn underwires yet have not gotten such good results. I gave it four stars because although the lift is nice, I want to go up just a bit more.

Just received this bra, love the fact that although I'm big busted it does not have an extremely long & wide side panel that rides up into my arm pit. I know this sounds weird but I find a lot of bras for large busted women do that.

I just recently purchased two of these bras and love them. They provide great support and hold me in from the sides . My only complaint is they come up too high and show if I wear a scoop neck tank top. Is there another style that is cut lower in between my breasts, but still provides the support?

I love this bra because it's uplifting and really supports the girls, i.e the straps are strong enough to hold the girls securely so that when you walk quickly there is minimal bouncing. I just wish this bra had a seamless cup because the seam does show through some shirts. As the weather gets warmer, the material is thinner so this is not unexpected.I know people will suggest a tee shirt bra instead. Unfortunately, I have not found one that supports as well as this bra does. I wear a 40DD and I don't need or want any padding, which is what the tee shirt bras offer for nipple coverage & smoothing (which I would accept if the support was the same as the retro chic style.

very pretty lace and style, good support but straps are narrow and cut into skin for an all-day bra

Great bra. Good support

Very Beautiful And Comfortable. Really Nice Colors.

Great bra. Unfortunately I fall between sizes. I exchanged for the smaller and will use an extender if I need it.

Love this bra but I had to purchase a back hook extender. I purchased my regular size but the band was short

I love the fit and comfort but I don't like the seam in the middle when I'm wearing sweaters.

Fit is great but I wish it was all black.

I was "against" wired bras, until I had a problem with unwired ones. I have an old wired wacoal bra which fits well, so I ordered the same size in this new model. This bra separates my breasts well and is comfortable, however it is too small. It is very difficult to guess what the correct size is, it changes with the different models, and I can't try them easily.

I have been wearing Retro Chic Full Figure Underwire Bra and only have one complaint. I like them but only can buy when they are on sale. The price is not reasonable I have to cut back on something else in order to purchase them. Makes me feel pretty,

I have this bra in white and black and saw that the raspberry and violet were on sale. Between free shipping, no sales tax and the sale price, I saved over $50.00 and got two really nice bras

I like this bra and have 7 of them. They fit quite well. I just wish they would make one that is larger in the back to hide back fat.

I actually purchased this style in the store from a "fit professional" and I thought she measured me incorrectly. She measured me a 36G and I normally wear a 40D. It was impossible to stretch it across the back to hook, so I purchased the same style (because I loved the color!) on-line in a 40G. It is easier to hook, but the cup is a tad big. Keeping, though.

I wore it for the first time ... the fit is great ... just a bit of a tug where the underwire sits ...hoping it will loosen up a bit in time ... love the shape and silhouette ... overall a great bra ... if the band loosens up a bit, I want to get this is other colors too and then would give it a 5 star rating

Been wearing these bras for years they are the only ones that fit.

Would be better bigger, but this is the largest size you offer.

just so so, kept it because I was in desperate need of bras. straps are uncomfortable

Retro-chic --- Best fitting comfortable bra and so feminine

Love the bra ...however a broader color pallettebwould be great. The classics are great but i want every color possible.

I have worn this style for several years. It's the best fit I have ever found. It's pretty and supports well. It does still slip off the shoulder some, but I have very narrow shoulders.

I love the color (hollyhock) and pretty good support. It is unlined though so if you are used to molded cups, it may be weird.
