I acquired this bra about 5 years ago and 35ish pounds ago. It spoiled me forever, first mesh bra ever. So much fresh air compared to "tshirt" and other bras made of nonbreathing or molded materials. I liked the shape it gave me. It has held up wonderfully but the wires would begin to smash me on the sides and I eventually learned after some research the cup size is way too small, and the band size possibly ok or need to go down some. The boning on the side is about where I probably need a wire. I was determined to get another just like it at Dillards, and had the unpleasant wakeup call that the shape no longer fits my shape. Too pointy, not enough room for my wideness. One sad day. I discovered I am rather wide rooted and have underarm tissue I've probably had for a long time but didn't know how to scoop and swoop. I definitely got my money's worth, but it's way too small in the cups currently.

I just compared the Wacoal wires with another bra I ordered as a "diagnostic". Unflexed they are very very close to the same size wire as Cleo Marcie 38E, however much softer and spring open much further when the band is stretched. The Marcie has much larger fabric cups, and is insanely uncomfortable in this wire size due to sitting on tissue under my arm that needs corraling. I need wide shallow wires and shallow cups to go with evidently.
