Customer Reviews Wacoal Awareness Full Figure Underwire Bra

I bought this bra because it was so pretty but not sure if it was sized incorrectly or runs extremely small as I couldn't even do it up. I bought the same size as all my other Wacoal bras - extremely disappointed.

Awareness bra fits well for the well endowed but what good is having them on sale when you never have the larger sizes.

Very pretty but runs small.

Fits well but I found the top edge tended to flip down after a while.

I ordered the size based on the measuring chart and my measurements, and it's too tight. Can I exchange it?

I have ordered the Awareness Underwire Bra for years. The shoulder straps are least likely to dig into my shoulders. Are there others like me, full figured, who wish for an increase from the 44 to a 46 band around the back? The wires cut into my ribs in the front and the sides to back hooks come around too tight. I add a generic extender to avoid this, and of course it would be more comfortable and better fitting if built in.

Love the fit of the bra, but was reminded of why I stopped wearing Wacoal bras.. The closure of the bra is incredibly itchy. This is not the first bra that feels like it is slicing away on my back.

I like this bra but it doesn't fit the same as my other 2 styles, the band is an inch and a have smaller. Customer service said it just isn't as stretchy

lovely fabric, soft and comfortable to wear. But the sides in DDD fit high and the underwire digs into my side. And I have a shoulder restriction that makes it very difficult to put on. All the Wacoal bras bring me the same problem, so I add an extender. Be watchful that the sizing is true!

Please add a size 46!!!!

Great support however is super tight, I would recommend sizing up in the band.

This is a great bra , my only complaint is the straps can not be adjusted to be as short as I need . I will need to cut the straps and resew them or else there will not be enough support. Disappointing

I'm 71 years old and this is the first bra that actually fits. I'm new to Wacoal, so I can't speak for the exactness of size. I was told their bras tend to run small. What I love is the overall fit and support. What I don't love is the two ply lining. It's been years since my breasts were firm, and I would prefer a sturdier lining Hence the four- and not five-star rating.

After using the fitting guide you offer, I ordered two Bras, both too small, have returned. Otherwise lovely items.

I love this bra. However, why do you advertise that you have it up to an I cup? I am constantly looking at the site trying to get some of your new colors, BUT there is never an I cup available. WHY?

Would like wacoal to go up band size or 2..Only bra that comes close to fitting me!

Very comfortable, very pretty and well made. I took off a star because I definitely should have gone up to the next band size. The cup was great, but I wish I had looked at a couple other reviews that said the same thing.

Great support. Comfortable at first. The back area of the "hook and eye closure" becomes itchy and irritated. It's like something is prickly. Not sure if it's the fabric or thread. Have tried rubbing the area with a nail file to soften it. Will see if it works

I love this bra. it is comfortable and fits great.

I've worn the Awareness bra for years. It's the best style for me. Most bras in the size I wear 34DD have a wider band with 3 rows of hooks and the fabric extends beyond the last hook so the hook does not come right to the end of the fabric. Sadly these are the issues I face with this bra. If those 3 things were corrected, I would give 5 stars.

I love the color

The band is too tight around my upper rib cage for my frame. I've never experienced this before now. I will be pleased when the elastic begins to loosen. Otherwise the fit and support is incomparable.

Cup size is perfect, but I wish that a longer band would be available for plus size. I purchased an extender to create a perfect fit .

This is a great fit, I do hope they will look at making the size to a 46. It is a snug fit at a 44DDD

I have worn this line for over 15 years and have always noted the quality of the bras was outstanding and worth every dollar. This time however, I noted the fabric seems thinner, and lighter than my previous versions. I placed the new ones side by side with my older ones and indeed, there is a distinct difference in the material that is on the new ones. It does not seem as "sturdy", or supportive, at least for my needs.
