This is a great strapless bra.

I live in Hawaii and wear sleeveless, strapless, spaghetti-strapped daily. I love my Wacoal Red Carpet bandeau

Used the bra as a strapless, as it does come with straps to wear as a regular bra too.

It was nice to find a strapless bra that fit, but my boobs still do not fit firmly inside cups. Still have a 'jiggling' movement. Oh, well, used to it by now!

Fits and stays up better than any strapless bra I have ever had. Only downfall, I'm not sure if it is the material or what, but after wearing for an extended period of time it starts to irritate my skin. But it fits so well it is almost worth it. I'm glad I purchased it, I am able to wear strapless or thin strap tops and dresses without having to worry about tacky bra straps or that unsightly "strapless bra bulge" and without having to constantly adjust my bra.

Great bra. I am a 32 DDD which is extremely hard to find. Yes, they are real! Not too many 32's with large cups. For a strapless it's pretty comfy and I like the triple band.

This bra does what is required: it lifts, separates and keeps the girls in place!
When it comes to full busted women bra quality is something you simply can't afford to skimp on. It pays for itself in the long run.

I was always a full C but after my first child I went up to a DD. Being relatively new to the world of above average busts I've had a hell of a time trying to find any comfortable bras. I basically gave up on ever finding a strapless bra that was even slightly reliable, forget comfortable. I had to find a strapless bra for a bridesmaids dress & took a shot in the dark after all the retail stores let me down. Best underwear related decision ever. I can wear it daily with straps & as a strapless. I often cross the straps in back for a little extra lift. It isn't cheap but it is worth every penny. Also the 4 hook/latches on the back keep me from getting back rolls & stop the back from sliding up the way a lot of bras do.

I had high hopes for this strapless bra. However, it is too big. I guess strapless bras have to fit snug. This was returned.

It was nice finding a strapless bra in a larger cup size - BUT - bought this bra in the same size as my usual Wacoal bra but the cups were too large. Sizing not at all similar. Suggest a true fitting before switching styles.

Comfortable, but only if I'm standing up. Otherwise the underwire cuts into my rib cage.

This runs small. Would need to go up a cup size for sure and probably a band size, too. Too bad because the My Best Fit App said this would be the perfect fit for me, but I had to return.

The item didn’t stay in place and was actually the incorrect item. I ordered a smaller size in a recent purchase and was shipped a completely different item.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
The band was perfect and held up my 34DDD breasts.... however, the cups fit oddly for me. The cup coverage started high and right at the armpit and cusp of the cups went up higher than normal bras, which squished my boobs together and get me the dreaded uni-boob. The cups also had a slightly cone/pointy cup shape, which I'm not a fan of. No #80sMadonnaConeBoobs for me.

The fit and size seemed accurate, but I still felt like it could fall or slide down. This may be more a function of my body than the bra! I am quite short waisted and there's not a lot of space between the bottom of the bra and my waist :(

The cup size runs considerably larger than their regular bras. The band size is perfect.

I wanted to love this very popular strapless bra, but it was not for me. I found the center of the bra not resting properly and causing the bra to be uncomfortable. For reference, my under bust measures at 27 inches and 33/34 inches across my bust depending. I tried both 30 and 32 bands, with 30 feeling the most secure, but the center was just odd. Back to the drawing board and glad I could try on and return easily.

The cups come up way too close to the armpit and are stiff so they show wearing anything sleeveless. Worse, they cut into the front of the armpit anytime I moved. Also, while the wide straps are comfortable, they are really visible. Really disappointed because the fabric and front closure were awesome.

This is my second Red Carpet bra and you can't beat the support, even for a strapless. This time I ordered a cup size up from last but the same band size, but the band is SO tight. I'm hoping it stretches out over time because it's pretty bad. But I love the support and my last one lasted me 2 years. I wish the straps were better quality.

I love the structure of this strapless bra. I will admit that I didn't measure before ordering. I wear a 36DD in regular bras, and that's what I ordered in this one. WAY too small!!! I measured and needed a 36DDD!!!
A note about the importance of measuring BEFORE ordering needs to be in bold letters! Ha

I ordered this bra in two colors. Same size, same style. The black fits perfectly. The nude is tight and has what seems like smaller cup widths. Strange. I had already removed the tags before trying on bc the black fit so well. Lesson learned. Otherwise, the bra is great and stays up without straps.

I've read so many positive reviews of this bra that I just had to try it. I'm large chested (G/I cup) and I've never found a strapless bra that a) holds my breasts up for more than 20 minutes, b) is comfortable, and c) I don't have to adjust constantly. This bra is definitely the best one I've tried (the plastic band really does help the band stay in place--for a time), but it's still not effective enough for me. My breasts started sagging and I had to keep hiking the bra up, so I couldn't imagine wearing it for a decent amount of time. I tried two different sizes to see if adjusting the band or cup helped, but neither did. Alas, the workable strapless bra continues to elude me. I'm glad this one works for so many, though! Gives me hope to continue the search.
