Customer Reviews Wacoal Retro Chic Full Figure Underwire Bra

This is the first bra I've ever had that really feels like it fits. I feel confident and covered but still sexy. I'm beyond happy with this bra but the underwire does get a little uncomfortable after a long day.

Very good support for DD.

As I gained weight, I kept enlarging the band size until a fitter in the department store measured my rib cage and told me I should be wearing a 36H rather than a 40 DD. When standing, the bra fits perfectly, but when sitting, the band feels a little tight and causes me to cough. Probably should have ordered a 38H, then the band and the cup would be more comfortable. I'm thinking of ordering one, just to see. Love this style as it supports me just as the styles of the 50's did!

This is a good all around bra. It has great support and is fairly comfortable, although the band seems a little tighter than many of my other bras. The lace and seams do not make it a great match with thin fabrics or t-shirts. Also, I have somewhat lopsided breasts and the lace fabric has no stretch or forgiveness, so while one breast has great coverage, the smaller side has a little gap. I wear a 34 DD. I got the heather pink, which is very attractive and doesn't show under light colored materials, which is a benefit over several of my other bras. I wouldn't be unhappy getting this bra again, but I would probably be tempted to try a slightly different style.

I like the look of this bra. It does start to feel a little tight at the end of the day in the band

I have this bra and would buy a second and third. "Retro" sort of means matronly in this case and it's not particularly sexy. BUT: It fits great (I'm a 32DD and hard to fit) and gives a nice youthful lift. Looks great when you are dressed.

The bra runs small compared to the Awareness bra. I wear the same size I ordered in the Awareness bra but the Retro Chic didn't fit.

I like the style and fit. It's very pretty. But the material isn't comfortable -somewhat scratchy.

I love this bra. However the band is a little small I usually can wear a 34. And it's really snug. I should probably get an extender. The other one I bought is a 34 and fits fine

I bought this based on the fit tips that recommended this bra for pendulous breasts. However, the upper part of the cups were empty, as if I bought the wrong size. Every bra I have is this size. Very disappointed. An expensive mistake.

I was happy with the articles that I ordered but was not pleased that two of the other items that I tried to order (also on sale) were not available.

I have bought several Wacoal bras over the years and all are extremely well made and comfortable. HOWEVER, I have stopped buying them because they insist on putting the strap adjustment in the back of the strap. This requires you to take the bra off, adjust the strap, put the bra back on and check if the adjustment is right. If not, you have to keep repeating until you get it right. WHY would any bra manufacturer EVER put the strap adjustment in the back??

One of the bras fit perfect. The other bra, same style and size is way to tight. I would have returned it but I tried the first one on, thinking it fits good and didn't bother to try the second one on till after it had been washed. I couldn't return it then because the tags were removed.

This bra fit a little small. I am returning for a larger cup & hope that solves the issue.

This is my first time trying this bra. It is pretty, but covers much more than the awareness bra. The middle part of the front of the bra seems a bit higher than I usually like, but it has good support. The jury is still out on this one. 42H

I ordered and received a 38DDD. The problem is - it's about a 36! I ordered two bras this time of style.. I can't wear either of them. This happened to me one other time with a different style. It is very frustrating!

The color fades onto my clothing! Washed it and it still fades. Not a good buy. Put bra in water in the sink and it turned a light orange color.

I was a Retro Chic fan for years, buying several every year. But there has been a change in the manufacturing of this bra. The fabric is scratchy, regardless of how many times it's washed. The underwire pokes my arms. The fabric does not hold the underwire in place, allowing it to bend outward. . What a miserable feeling. Please revert to making quality bras that are comfortable.

Was hoping I would like this bra as it is similar to a favorite I had years ago.

I like the uplift of this bra, but the underwires are killers. They dig and hurt.

Love the fit and style, but disappointed that the lacy part rips apart too easy.

I'll fitting on sides. Bones stick out and rub arms

The silver thread used for design in the lace cup is very itchy and annoying.

Ran smaller then the size I wear and uncomfortable.

While bra was basically a good fit, it did to fit comfortably around my back so I had to purchase a bra extender ..
