I would prefer to wear a wire free bra, and at smaller back and larger cup sizes your choices are limited. I am actually closer to a 32, but I was advised to go up a band size in this bra. I originally ordered it in a 34DD - which was definitely too small - so I ordered the 34DDD, which fit. It was never perfect - the straps don't adjust short enough for short people (5'0"), and the straps were a little far apart. I never got much separation, but my boobs are close together, so that's not a surprise. But then there are the bones. This ... bra has boning in the sides, and while I understand that they may be needed for structure, they dig in at the bottom and leave bruises. They aren't so bad in the morning, but by the mid-afternoon you want take it off. There are nice features as well - the fabric is very soft, there is some but not too much foam in the cups for modesty, and it has a decent shape.

So then I lost some weight and this bra got to be too big. I put it away for a year or two, during which time I wore the same bra in 34DD. And then I gained back some weight, so I got it out again. I have found I can get the most comfortable fit on the tightest hook, though there is some gapping under the arms, and I wonder how much of that is from it being stretched out. The bones have not improved with age. They still hurt progressively as the day goes on, and I am currently wearing this bra because it fits better than anything else I have right now. I expect it to be retired again as soon as I get some new bras.

I have gained a few pounds and my outer breast tissue required more space than the 34DD How Perfect Wire Free could provide. This is an effortless bra to wear and provides more support than most of the wireless options I've tried so far on my 300+ bra journey. This band, on the tightest setting, provides admirable support on my 28" underbust. Because I'm short-waisted, there is a bit of empty space near the strap, but I'm comfortable in the bottom of the cup. The cup is 1/2" too tall, but I'll suffer the tall cup for this level of comfort. Finding enough space in the bottom is always a challenge in wireless bras.

The shape under thin knits is pleasantly round. And, nipples are protected by a sufficient amount of lining. However, prominent nipples may be visible.

This is my 5th Wacoal How Perfect Wire Free Bra. Although it 's not ideal for close-set, center-full breasts, it is better than most. Sigh.

I wanted a comfy wire-free bra for a change and snagged this one off of eBay.

The band, for a 34, is snug and firm. I suggest sizing up from your usual band size. The cups fit perfectly and are surprisingly supportive for a bra with no wires. An aspect of this bra i love is the strap placement - it isn't in the armpits, LOL. One possible negative is this bra is more of a full cup style; it will show under low cut tops.

One big plus - this bra is super SOFT! I believe it is a brushed cotton.

Appearance wise - it's a very basic looking bra but what it lacks in appeal it makes up for in comfort.
