Customer Reviews b.tempt'd by Wacoal Ciao Bella Balconette Bra 953144

This bra is so pretty! As a 30DD, it can be challenging to find bras that fit and are attractive. The styling is supportive and sexy at the same time... perfect for everything except under t-shirts because of the full lace cup. The matching tanga undies make a perfect set! Thank You!!

Cups were great, but the band size was small. I will get a bigger band size

This bra is sexy and fits true to size. It definitely is great for wider-set boobs. The lace is soft for being lace, but still not quite as comfortable as normal fabric. There is light padding, so there won't be any show through, and it didn't cause any lines under a t-shirt. My only issue is that I am 5'11, and the shoulder straps aren't adjustable to be long enough to comfortably go over my shoulders, so they end up digging in. Overall, I would recommend for someone with a wider set who isn't super tall.

I would love for there to be a "marriage" between wacoal and b'remted. There are things I like about both brands. I think there needs to be that inbetween the two brands for the the woman not ready to give up "all the lace and bows".

I originally purchased this in a 34DD. It looks great, but I honestly felt that band/cups were a smidge too small. When i bought my second one, I went up to a 36 band and had to keep the cup at a DD instead of dropping one size as recommended. I adore both bras, but the bigger band/cup is definitely more comfortable! Today I bought 2 more in different colors. This bra makes the girls look amazing and is incredibly sexy. It is extremely well made but I have noticed the lace/seam pattern is visible with thinner tshirts.

Wish this was done in a smoother fabric. Love it but the lace will keep me from wearing with most shirts. Sending back. Great fit and comfort.

The seam down the center of each cup shows through blouse or tee shirt fabric. The bra may be ok under a heavier fabric such as a sweater.

Loved the look but not the fit.

Straps don't adjust small enough.

I normally find that racial bras fit well and true to my size. However, the cups on this bra felt small, the seaming doesn't lay flat and the lace itches. I don't want to give up on this bra, so I'm going to try it up a cup size.

This is not my favorite Wacoal bra. It is pretty but not as comfortable as my net effect style which I love.

Fit was as expected. Was even flattering. Unfortunately, the lace is white (which I wanted) but the lining is beige/nude) which I didn’t want, and find ugly. I wear a small band size and kind of a ridiculously big cup size- so if you’re a fellow 32DD/DDD, and don’t think the two-tone look is ugly, this just might be the bra for you!

I love the look of this one. It has a very romantic feel, but it can get uncomfortable very quickly. The lace is also very noticeable under a thinly layered top, so be aware of that.

I wanted to love this. The cup was perfect size, the band was too tight. But ultimately what had me wanting to return it was the lace, I found it really prickly.

Just because a bra comes in your size, doesn't mean it was made for you. I would not recommend for anyone over a D.

Would love for it to have a smooth appearance under clothing, leaves a bumpy look.

Agree with another reviewer: the band is tighter than on other bras. I tried to go from a 32D to a 34D, but I must be between sizes - the 34D bust is too large but the width between cups is too narrow. The bra is really cute and playfully attractive but sizing can be tricky. Maybe it just won't work for you. I am sadly returning mine.

I wanted to love this bra based on the other reviews. I wear a size 4 and have a 32DDD chest. After breastfeeding 2 children, I like bras that have a nice lift. :-) It looks fine on but I wasn't blown away. I tried several shirts over it and I could see the curves/lace through every shirt. The only type of shirt that would work is a sweater or something very thick. I realize it's not a t-shirt bra but I still need a bra that's more versatile and not so limiting.

The color is perfect. The straps are way too short and make the bra nearly unbearable. Identical I am so upset. I looked a long time for this color. I'm very upset. AND...it's supposed to be a 38 band? NO! More like 36.

I don't need or like the padding

ciao Bella balconette and tanga was my favourite line for years, but once they cut the tanga larger (can't wear skinny jeans, pencil skirts, even my work out leggings without the sides of the tanga rolling up) I had to stop ordering. I did order fr England where for a while they still had the smaller cut but I was only able to find in bridal white w/blue, beige with pink bow and black. will wacoal ever go back to smaller size smalls in the Ciao Bella, if not what's a good alt? Thank You!

Straps uncomfortable.

I really wanted to purchase this bra, but after trying it on I was dissapointed. I typically wear a 30/32DDD/F and I found these cups to be too small. Balconettes usually work great for me, but I suppose this fit just wasn't right for me. Very beautiful bra though!

I got this product and I am a 34ddd but this bra is huge in the band so i'm thinking I should have gotten a 32ddd. Also my shoulders are broad but short and no matter how tight I put the straps they keep falling of because they aren't fully adjustable. I believe a 32ddd would have fit perfect.

I love these bra's and just purchased another. Unfortunately, I thought it was fine and cut all the tags off and went on a trip with it and found out that the left strap was made shorter than the right strap and I cannot adjust it any longer. So it cuts badly into my shoulder and is worthless. I cannot return it as I have tried to wear it and no longer have the tags on it. I am so disappointed in the quality for this bra.
