Customer Reviews Wacoal Ultimate Side Smoother Bra 853281

This bra did not hold up well. it looks so pretty on line, but The sides which I assumed would be more sturdy to hold me in are not sturdy at all. this is not a side smoother bra. Disappointed in the product in comparison to the product description.

Wish I could return this bra

I find this bra a bit big for me The side band and the side of it's cup rubbed my pit. I have ordered few more bras and it got my size right. This is the only one that I don't like.

I tried one on at a retail store and liked it. Before I had a chance to wear it for a day I bought one on sale online as I was so excited to throw out my old bras. MISTAKE! These straps are like a knife after a few hours. They are actually sharp and cut in badly. It's the material itself that is unforgiving. I am very sad that I have to continue to search for my next bra - as my previous favorite Vanity Fair was discontinued.

So disappointed, I not recommend this bra.

The sizing seems a bit off compared to my other Wacoal bras. This bra states it's a side smoother but my other t-shirt bra seems to smooth the size better.

Returned bra. Did not smooth the sides. Sides stuck out terrible.

Think I could really love this bra but unfortunately the band is way too tight. I generally purchase from a competitor at DD36 with perfect fit. I purchased a DD36 and I have to rip it off after an hour cause the band is so tight! Quality is excellent but sizing is a bit off.

This bra is not as comfortable as I had thought it would be. Although it fit my body well, the mesh panels on the sides gave good support but after wearing for about 6 hours, tthe material caused my skin to be itchy. I needed to readjust the bra a few times and so I am returning it. For the price, it should be perfect. Hopefully, I will find another that will be my go to.

Wish I could of returned

The band size fits smaller than marked. The band should be wider to be more supportive and comfortable. The straps would be much more comfortable if made of elastic instead of the rigid material.

I've worn Wacoal for years and years. This bra made me look deformed. I kept the one I wore and returned the rest. But I'll still buy Wacoal, just not this style!

I don't recommend this bra. It's not smooth on the side. Also feels tighter than normal

I'm super sad this doesn't work. I wear the same size in most Wacoal bras, but this one just pushes my boobs together and out the top, giving me quad boob. Either order a cup size up or, if you are like me and your boobs are very close together anyway, avoid this bra as it does not separate and contain the boobs.

Disappointed in the side smoother fabric. It rolls.

I wanted to like this bra; Wacoal is one of the few brands that make my size, 32D. The cups and straps fit fine, but the side material was so irritating on my skin! I couldn't stand it for more than a few minutes, so I'm returning it.

I am large busted and do not need additional padding in the cup. Love the color but would prefer minimizing cup with natural fabric.

This bra did not take care of the "back fat" for me. Maybe if I would have gone up a size in the band, but honestly just wasn't impressed enough to try.

Flimsy and cups shallow

I tried it on and thought it was a good fit but after I wore it a few hours, it was awful! The wire on the side was digging into my skin. Unfortunately, I am unable to return it.

While cup size fits comfortably, I needed to purchase bra extension .. normally, I would have returned but since item was on sale, unable to do so. Purchased three bras on sale and will NEVER buy online again. Like shoes, better to purchase from store for the right fit .. very disappointed!

Quite displeased with this bra. It was recommended by one of the fit experts on line after talking with me. The side material is very thin. It is crossed I think in order to achieve more lift and side coverage however it doesn't stay in place. At first I just tried this bra on and I wasn't impressed. I waited a day and gave it another try wearing it for several hours. The straps kept falling down and I had to keep adjusting the bra. Unfortunately for me, I did not read the rules and I had removed the tags and was not able to return this ill fitting bra that I had such high hopes for.

I have 3 other Wacoal bras that I really like. This one feels like all my sins came calling for payback with the discomfort in my upper lady zone. Too stiff! Ouch! *$%# Sending it back to the war zone from whence it came!

I regret purchasing this bra. It is extremely uncomfortable. I purchased same size as have purchased other Wacoal bras but this one fits terribly. Rather than smooth side area, this bra forces tissue up under arm pit and causes a bulge. I would not recommend this style.

The material at the sides doesn't stay in place. It actually runs smaller than my other bras. Ordered 2. Sent 1 back. Stuck with the other one.
