Purchased sand at a retail store, black not available and glad to find it at Wacoal.com. Love the mesh sides, great design. My 4 star rating: turning the bra to the front after fastening, mesh gets wrinkled. Consider design for a higher mesh under arms (oh those underarms - where did they come from?).

The cup fits really well, just wish the mesh sides would not ride up. I am constantly fixing them so they are smooth.

This is a nice bra. It fits well and does what it advertises. The quality is good.

I'm giving this a four star only because the one I ordered was a size too sm on me. I think it may run a smidge sm in the busy strap (around rib cage), or I've gained weight ð??? BUT I will be ordering a 36D (instead of 34D) because despite it being too sm, I loved the feeling of the extra support under my arms, and the cups provided some ice shape! It's out of stock right now but I'll be waiting!

Look it's not the cutest bra ever but that's not why you're thinking about buying it anyway. It gets the job done. I'm not convinced the "side smoothing" is for real but it's a nice bra regardless. Maybe a smidge small in the band compared to others the same size.

Thin padding on this bra, and at normal Wacoal size of 36G, I didn't think I'd like it, but it's quite nice! Side smoothing cross-cross fabric does smooth, but the bottom seam there rolls up a little. I also have narrow shoulders, and the straps are set rather outward, and slip off my shoulders. The straps also aren't as wide and cushy as the Wacoal awareness bra. The straps are very smooth, but if they'd stay on my shoulders they'd dig in. I'm keeping it.

I love this bra but recently when I have tried to purchase the size 38 double D there is a problem with the Shoulderstraps they are Not stretchy! All of the other sizes did have stretchy straps only the 38Dd Did not. I have purchased this bra in the past and the straps were stretchy please make them stretchy again I can't wear them when they cut into my shoulder.

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 doesnt stay in place. At first I just tried this bra on and I wasnt 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 am so mad I didn't return this bra when I knew it was uncomfortable, I thought I'd get used to it and washed it , I am so uncomfortable in this bra , maybe if I went a size up it would have been more pleasurable to wear? But I went by the size I always wear and measured by. $74.00 uggh

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.

Not as happy as I thought I'd be, considering the price. Underwire is very uncomfortable.

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.

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.
