    32H

    Didn't fit

    I purchased because I simply needed a moulded smooth bra option. This works well enough. Wacoal tends to run small in the band and this bra is no exception. It’s modeled after the Wacoal Basic Beauty bra. Unlike the Basic Beauty, this bra goes up to a U.S. H cup in a 32 band. The cup is more like a spacer bra material and you can see through it a bit if you hold it up to the light. The side of the cup on the outside has a nice lace detail. The inside of the cup has an inner sling to help keep your tissue pushed forward. ... On me it gives a nice rounded smooth look. The straps are semi sheer up the front till it connects to a soft touch elastic at the top of my shoulder. The straps also sit in more, perfect for narrower shoulders. The back band is two layers of sheer stretch mesh. The outer layer has little black polka dots. The back clasp is a 4x3 closure with all hardware being black. There is a little silver diamond gem flower hanging from a little black bow on the center gore.
    As far as over all fit goes, I do get some double bubble in the upper cup when I pull my arms back. It’s undetectable under clothing. The center gore also lifts off my sternum because my boobs are too close together to allow the wires of the cup to sit on my chest. Not perfect but it gets the job done. I wish there were more options for smooth moulded cups with narrow wires on a small band available.

    I previously tried on this bra in a 34DDD and thought I needed to go up in band size to keep the wires from digging into me, but I was wrong! Going up a cup size instead made the band fit perfectly, eliminated underarm squidge, and made this bra super comfortable and supportive for me. 34G also comes with an inner side support sling, which doesn’t do that much for me aesthetically as these wires are probably much wider than I need, but does seem to give me a little more support than plain spacer cups do? This bra prevents my heavy, close-set boobs from pulling on my ... neck and gives me an instant posture boost! This gore is higher than I usually wear and does not fully tack on me, but only bandless plunge bras do since I have close-set breasts and mild PE. As the wires are very padded, this is not an issue for this bra. Is it my holy grail bra? No, but it’s super comfortable and will keep my neck from hurting until I find “the one.”

    Other things of note: The spacer fabric, elastic edging, camisole straps, and extra wide vans make this bra super comfortable and it smoothes everything out so that it disappears under knit jersey tops. It has a slight minimizing effect that is meh, but I think it would have a more dramatic one on someone with wider roots (in a good way.)

    The underwires are a bit wide on the sides for me, but that doesn't cause discomfort. The lace trim on this irritates my skin, especially near the underarms. The fit is fairly good, but the trim makes me avoid wearing this one.
