Customer Reviews Wacoal Soft Embrace Front Close T-Back Bra 851311

I have had purchased many Wacoal bras over the past 20 years. I have tried different styles and colors and most have been very comfortable, but this front closure bra just does not fit me correctly. I have always been happy with 36DD sizing and the bras have been flattering under my shirts. The cup on this bra seems small and the seam line in the front cuts into my breast creating a line under my sweaters. The clasp also seems to small and tends to cut in. I am very disappointed with the fit and the look it creates.

The bra looks cute but is uncomfortable to wear for several hours. Will not buy again

I have a larger bust. I knew when I bought this that it was a risk since I've never had great success with front closing bras. I like it, it's comfortable and easy to put on (with wrist and thumb issues) but you do lose some support.

Pretty good support but does not seem as full coverage as description woukd lead you to believe.

So this bra is gorgeous but does not work well with my EastWestie chesty. Comfortable material but not a fit for my body shape.....sigh.....

Runs small. All of my other 38D bras fit me. It’s hard to rate a bra that you can’t wear and have to send back. I am guessing based on what I see. I was disappointed in sizing.

Wacoal is my new go to for bra's but this one did not fit right. I chose my normal size and it was too small.

It's a nice bra and the cup size was perfect. I was sad that the straps did not shorten enough to make them supportive and I had to send it back.

A good choice for support under athletic tops that have a "shelf bra". It has no molding or real lining, though, so nipples would be very apparent under a thinner top. If that doesn't bother you, it's a winner!

I liked everything about it except it was cut a little low in front for me. Therefore I bulged out a little (it didn't hold me in comfortably).

Nice, but band is tight

This is my ideal bra. But it was only offered in a width of 38! I am a 40. So it squeezes me instead of holding me. More variety is needed for your more full bodied clientele.

Love the bra but don't like the racerback

Too thin and wiring was super tight and uncomfortable. I've got size B cup breasts but have to wear a 32 D since mine rest on the sides of my chest. I was hoping for a thicker material so I don't nip out, but that and the fit didn't work for me.

This type of bra in this brand is way off size wise. I had to go up a whole size and cup. Still too tight! Ridiculous!

I wasn’t crazy about the fabric that felt scratchy.

Sizing is not consistent. This bra runs small. Wasted my money as I would have to pay shipping to return it.

I do not like this bra because it does not have enough cup coverage

This style seemed to run small, I'm usually a 32DD, but the 32DDD fit better. It felt cheap and was not flattering. Wacoal is my usual go-to for bras. I am returning this item.

Bras look great but never offer larger band sizes!

l measured myself using the guide provided by Wacoal and found the near perfect fit. I didn't get a chance to really wear it and give it a test run so I can't say perfect ;) . I am returning the bra because the material in the cup was very thin, I like a slightly thicker cup and this was as thin as you could find!

There is something wrong with the front closure and I can't open or close it. Could I exchange it for another one?

Wacoal is very strange, I first ordered this bra in my usual size (32DD) and it was too small. So I went to look at the size chart, measured myself and ordered what the chart suggested based on the measurement (34 B), still wrong size! I don't think I will try this again. I also didn't like the style of this one

I expected something comfortable that I would want to order and re-order but after the first wearing, I found the underwire to be uncomfortable, biting into the middle of my chest. I don't have anything to hold in there in the middle, there is no reason for the underwire to bite there.

I think it may run slightly small in the cup size, So I may have gone up to the next size if I decided I liked this bra. However, I thought it looked pretty matronly on me. The front close that sits in between your breasts did not lay flat, could’ve been the size issue. The biggest reason I am sending it back, is that it’s so thin I can’t imagine it hiding cold nipples! It’s like a very thin legging material.
