The Great Amazon Prime Wardrobe Try-On, Pt 2!
My shape: FOB, narrow roots/shoulders, soft tissue, 32G (though I'm thinking maybe more 30G since a lot of these 32 bands are too stretchy for me!)
Fit: Ok, when they say "Retro Chic," they certainly mean it. Though this bra fits me technically, it's not my ideal shape at ALL. It's VERY POINTY! If that's the shape you are going for, this works perfectly and fits true to size. This would work really well if you are trying to get a 50's style, or wearing a 50's costume or something.
The cups and gore are very tall.
Appearance: My first thought when trying this ... one was, "Oh man, this is a granny bra." (No offense to any grandmas on here!) It kind of is, but I feel that way about beige bras in particular. (They are a necessary evil as far as I'm concerned; if I didn't need one badly to wear under white shirts, I wouldn't own one at all!) It's sort of plain, with beige lace all over the cups. There's a tiny bow with a gem at the gore.
Overall: This is really comfortable, but I definitely wouldn't wear it out unless in a poodle skirt costume or something.

I tried this bra on again, 7 months since the last time (and since my measurements have changed slightly). The fit was pretty amazing! And I almost bought it. Great support and great fit. However, the horizontal seams really show through under tees and knits -- even under a tee AND a thin sweater. Since that's pretty much all I wear, and I really didn't like the horizontal seams showing through, I passed on it. The shape is also a little more torpedo-y than I like.

This bra's measurements have been altered

I believe I removed a sparkly "bauble" from the gore.

If you have a lot of migrated tissue, this bra definitely isn't for you as it allows for very little movement. The band isn't very stretchy at all - it would fit fine one day and be too small the next. Not sure how it compares to other I cups in their line seeing as this was the only one they had in stock. As far as the design goes, it's actually a very pretty bra, but it just wasn't a good fit for me. I think this bra would work better for someone with narrow roots and not as full on bottom.

This bra looks beautiful, and I love the shape of it. It’s close to the bullet bra look I’m going for without being overly dramatic. The band is quite snug, so some may consider going up a band size and down a cup. A 34D would probably fit me more comfortably, but I like the support of the 32 band. I appreciate the not-stretch straps. They feel very sturdy and won’t stretch out over time. I have noticed a bit of itchiness from the lace and trim detailing, but I hope the fabric will soften as I was and wear it.

Good fit and great shape as always with this bra. One cup down from my 36 band cup in other Wacoal styles (G). I did not fill the G when I tried to in store and had a wrinkle across the middle seam.

I had a 38DD when I was larger that I wore to death. Definitely will be buying more/more colors in the future.

This is a good supportive bra with wider side goring so you don't get as much "back fat" spilling over. Does a good job of supporting my boobs and making them look perkier than they are. Points boobs up and forward but not as much up and forward as a Freya plunge bra. But if you have really full breasts the tops of the cups are going to dig into your boobs. My breasts are a little less firm and less full than they used to be (I'm 48) so this bra fits. Would have given my younger boobs a quadraboob. Also I've worn it twice and the band is really stretching out. Makes me think I should have gotten a 32DDD instead of 34DD. Would give it an 8 out of 10 for comfort. Back strap seems a little itchy after wearing for a few hours. Cups very comfortable.

When I first tried this on I didn't like the retro shape it gave my boobs, very triangular and pin-up. They are also much further apart than I'm used to when wearing this. But then I tried it under a t shirt and they looked great! Plus it was on sale and I needed bras that fit so I took it home. After wearing for long work days I can say that the band feels tight and the boning on the side gets really uncomfortable when sitting for long periods. The gore in the center goes really high, like almost above my breast tissue so ... it is not good for even high v necks or anything lower than your neckline. I just got a band extender and that made it WAY more comfy so maybe I should have tried a bigger band. Also I'm not sure if this is from the lace, or all the new bras I've been wearing and I have sensitive skin anyways but I have been breaking out in rashes since wearing it. I think it's because I'm used to wearing t shirt bras that are smooth, and after being stuffed into the lace all day my skin gets irritated. Overall it's an ok bra if you like the retro shape and wear high necklines.

This bra is comfortable. It has wide "wings" which I like. The gore width is good. The upper half of the cup wrinkled and would not lay flat.

This is my go to bra. I have it in 5 different colors. It is a Full coverage center pull strap bra with a two part lace cup.

I have a 36GG Panache Jasmine that fits and this bra in US 36G fits perfectly. Don't be scared away by the US sizing. I feel Wacoaol run large in the cups.

Pros: wildly comfortable, straps are centered so no sliding off or digging into your armpits. No East/West. Lots of pretty colors.
Band does not stretch out, I've had some for two years and I'm still on the middle hook.

Cons: Full Coverage with a high gore,( I'm close set 1finger width between breasts and the gore does not bother me at all)
Side boning can be an issue if you're more full figured. When I was heavier I would snip a inch off the side boning so it didn't poke my pudge. (boning runs 4.25 inches)
Matching panties are pretty but don't fit my full lower stomach area in what I think is a flattering way. Backside is generous.
