Customer Reviews Wacoal Retro Chic Full-Busted Underwire Bra 855186

Seems cheaply made compare to other styles

I wanted to give this bra a 5 star rating but it really didn't support well. I did keep it but, I will only wear it if I am not going out of the house because the cup just doesn't keep it all in.

Lovely bra just not supportive enough for me

This bra fit a little small. I am returning for a larger cup & hope that solves the issue.

This is my first time trying this bra. It is pretty, but covers much more than the awareness bra. The middle part of the front of the bra seems a bit higher than I usually like, but it has good support. The jury is still out on this one. 42H

I already checked these things.

With all that is good. As size increases straps do not support, width of band should increase along with the hooks. Large busted size 18 & over also like pretty and feminine looking

This bra offers fantastic support and very pretty lace for bigger busts (I have the 34H in this style), BUT it comes at a cost. The cup coverage is very high on the bra so I can only wear it with high-necked shirts. In addition, there is a seam right across the center which is visible under thinner or tighter fit shirts which also limits it's wear. The boning under the arms is larger than most bras which is nice for support, but pokes under your arms too. That does get a little better after you wear it while, but still there. I've also found you have to be careful with the thinner mesh at the top of the cup. It's easy to snag and when it does, the hole spreads fast!

I was excited to see this style on Zappos because it's so difficult finding bras in this size, and even harder to find cute styles! But, I was disappointed that this bra was extremely uncomfortable, with one of the wires cutting in my skin under my arm. Also, I felt sizing was a tad larger than other Wacoal styles I own. Perhaps even a whole cup size larger. Unfortunately, this one's going back.

Side support wires come up high under the arms and are uncomfortable. Cups true to size and fit well. But I will return.

I ordered and received a 38DDD. The problem is - it's about a 36! I ordered two bras this time of style.. I can't wear either of them. This happened to me one other time with a different style. It is very frustrating!

The color fades onto my clothing! Washed it and it still fades. Not a good buy. Put bra in water in the sink and it turned a light orange color.

I was a Retro Chic fan for years, buying several every year. But there has been a change in the manufacturing of this bra. The fabric is scratchy, regardless of how many times it's washed. The underwire pokes my arms. The fabric does not hold the underwire in place, allowing it to bend outward. . What a miserable feeling. Please revert to making quality bras that are comfortable.

Was hoping I would like this bra as it is similar to a favorite I had years ago.

I like the uplift of this bra, but the underwires are killers. They dig and hurt.

Love the fit and style, but disappointed that the lacy part rips apart too easy.

I'll fitting on sides. Bones stick out and rub arms

I've been wearing this style for yrs, last 2 bras don't fit the same even tho they are same size, underwires don't hold up and have broken so I had to order new... diappointed in color selection, went up a cup size due to fit of 2 previous bras... mistake... feel very constricted, guess it's time to find a new bra... unfortunate that bigger sizes are so limited

Tried a new style. Poor fit. Donated it.

I have worn Wacoal for 40 years. Because I live remotely, I have gone to ordering online for some items. This bra is the most uncomfortable I have ever had from Wacoal, very disappointed. The straps have absolutely zero elastic, so uncomfortable! The cup pooches smack in the middle. A bra that will lay in my dresser. Not sure if quality has dropped, but definitely not as before.

Bra fits perfectly when I am standing or walking.. As soon as I sit down the top half of the bra is empty. That is the lacy part. The bra is very pretty but unusable for me. And I bought it in 3 colors!

Used these bras for 15+ years. May have to change maker

Ordered in my usual size. .could not even do it up. Sent it back at my expense. Recieved another size which also doesn't fit but the return cost is outrageous so no choice but to keep it. Will only buy Wacoal Bras at retail stores from now on. At least I can try on.

I was shocked at all of the good reviews as I found this to be very uncomfortable as the cups were too large and it was very itchy. I was very aware I had this bra on. The seam across the front is also very awkward.

I went from my usual 42H to 44H. I guess it's too big. But so uncomfortable
