Very comfortable bra for me. Accommodates my need for immediate projection and top of cup doesn't cut in or wrinkle, which is not uncommon for my tall, sloping roots. The wires are a bit too wide at the sides, but the other aspects that work outweigh this for me.
The wires are a bit too wide, but everything else feels wonderful. I plan to try a 30DD or 32D to narrow things up a bit. The cup is fairly tall and the top wrinkles ever so slightly, but doesn't cut in to my tall, slanting roots at all. The amount of projection at the wire works well for me (I usually need a decent amount of immediate projection) and the material feels really lovely.

Fit
About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts * average projection * ...wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts) * very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line) * even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full) * short root height, average vertical placement * mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away) * conical shape (but will squish to round) * full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue * petite (5'3") so have narrow frame * front (anterior) rib flares
Band: * length: stays in place with wear * wings: too short * no axillary skin spillage
Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.

Assessment and Plan: * Wires way too narrow, yet somehow breasts look wide. Cuts into tail of Spence. * Try one cup size up (UK 32E, Wacoal 32DDD). Read more 200 more words
I like this bra so much that I bought it again in 30DD when my size changed! It's technically a molded cup, but the material is very pliable, and quite thin. It looks smooth under t-shirts and gives good nipple coverage, but doesn't feel as restrictive as some stiffer molded cup bras can. The underwire is fairly wide, which worked for me, but may not work for everyone, and the bra does produce more of an east-west shape.
I don't usually like front close bras but tried this one.
I like how the lace hugs my tissue. It feels light yet supportive and lifting. However the cups are too tall and want more upper fullness than I have. The band runs tight. I enjoy similar Wacoal bras and often find I need to size down since the cups are so stretchy and forgiving. A 32D may work better for me.
This is not a PERFECT fit, but I still consider it good. It's hard to find cups that are projected enough for me, and it has the same problem, so whatever. Also, it doesn't tack, so I'd likely fit best in a 32DDD. However, it's comfortable otherwise, looks good, and I found it on sale at TJ Maxx.
This didn't fit. The cups were too big. I filled out the bottom nicely, but the top of the cups were empty and sad looking. Nevertheless, the bra was extremely comfortable. It didn't feel very supportive (probably because the cups were so big) but it was great for lounging around in. The band was tight - I definitely recommend sizing up in the band.
I can size down in many Wacoal bras to 32D, but this one fits a bit smaller than others I have tried. The cup is too closed on top and cuts in. I had the same problem with many Simone Perele bras. Might work better for shorter roots or less top fullness.
This is so soft and light. Love the soft mesh texture on the cups - feels different from other similar bras. I would love to try it in 32DDD.
The cups of this bra seem to curve in and close at the top more than other t-shirt bras I've tried. Too closed on top for my tall shallow roots. The cups seem shallow as well.
I thought the pattern looked a little ugly in person BUT I prefer plain bras. I thought this would be exactly like Embrace Lace but it gaps way more at the gore.
Really nice bra, very comfortable everyday bra, the shape and lift are very natural, the straps are super comfortable,they only adjust half way, the band is pretty snug for a 32 band, it feels like my size 30 Cleo bands, I have a few wacoal bras, all of them 32, and none are as snug as this one.
The color makes me happy, it so pretty, it is a wonderful tone of orange, more like coral. I am a little disappointed, I was so happy when I got this bra, but to tell you the truth the support is not good, it is very stretchy, (I guess that is why I could get away a DD cup) i need a more supportive bra, I do not know if maybe it could be because it is a DD cup, and usually I am DDD, but it fits great, no cuad boob. The straps are ok, they adjust all the way and it has a hook to make it racer back wich is very nice. It is very comfortable.
This was bought when I was still trying to buy locally . It is in the nude color. Doesn't fit . I now know I need in the range of 28GG UK size. Worn only a couple of times. Hand washed and air dryed.
This is the most comfortable bra I currently own: I have fallen asleep in it two times. The wires are not quite wide enough to capture all my breast tissue. The cups are rather closed and are better suited to those full on bottom or with shallow upper tissue. The gore is just wide enough that it digs slightly into my breasts. However, the three hooks and stretchy band feel FABULOUS! This is a great sleep bra, bra for self-supporting breasts, and for those who value comfort. Off to find a bra with a more narrow gore...
I really love the sheerness of this bra, but since I've gained some weight this bra give me some serious quad boob. But overall, this is a gorgeous bra!
I don't currently have the fit of this bra set, or the measurements, but I will get to it next time I wear it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I like this bra a lot, but I'd really like a little more height, not too much, because I feel like my boobs come out a tiny bit on the sides. This may also be because I'm measuring 29-30" underbust and I stupidly bought a 32DD instead of 30DDD- so scooping and swooping doesn't stick and it all falls back out. I really need that 30 band. I also feel like the gore is, also, JUST slightly too wide. ...Barely, but it changes things. I really wanted the red in this also, I feel like the deep, pink/coral is blah. My mistake. So red/30DDD next time https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" /> The wires I feel are for more average roots, maybe slightly wide? Then projection wise, there is plenty of room for someone who needs some projection. Overall a nice t-shirt bra, not perfect for really centered, super high, narrow rooted, boobs, but it isn't noticeable under a shirt and hasn't caused me any issues with comfort. I'd buy the 30DDD because the band is what's really off for me with this. Comfort wise, it doesn't feel like clouds like a VS bra (I'm probably in the minority feeling this way, but I also mostly fit into their 32DD's-just wish going up one freakin D didn't make them more expensive). It's less stiff than the Freya Deco Honey I have, and Freya Deco Charm I've tried though. Band is also not super taut. It actually reminds me a lot of my Freya Rio and Freya Deco Honey, except they're too big and yet too tight somehow at the same time. Much worse with the Rio. This one, it's more snug than a Victorias Secret bra, but about as snug as a Freya. You won't get a super snug Parfait-like band with this. I know I'm a size up, but compared to my other 32DD's, the band just isn't very taut. Try going down a band and up a cup if that's super important for you. I don't need an incredible amount of support in padded bras, so the 30DDD should be good for me. Read more 271 more words
This is a beautiful bra!! It has lace, a bit itchy for those on the sensitive side, I can get away with it, it doesn't bother me that much. I think it is not a full coverage bra, maybe because the one that I own is a cup size smaller than my other Wacoal bras, it gives me the cuadboob effect..... So sad!! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> It is very light and it washes really well (I only wash my bras by hand and line dry). The cups are thin but not enough so you don't show, it is fine to use with t shirts. Love Wacoal bras, started to buy them in a ddd cup and they fit like a glove!!
This bra is definitely for someone slightly shallow with pretty separate boobs. I'm splayed and look incredibly separate, but I have tissue that's very close together, just shallow at the very top and center. This bra has the same problem I'm experiencing with so many others: that crazy wide gore. I realized that the cups COULD fit, back is definitely not snug enough to do much for me, and the gore makes the cups too separate, which gives me middle quadboob.
This bra also makes me appear very shallow and wide. The actual wires aren't wide, it's just the cup separation.
I love the material and shape of this bra. The padding is so light, it barely feels padded. If anyone's ever worn VS's old Body IPEX (why would they get rid of that? ??) this is very similar.
I'm conflicted as to whether or not I should alter the gore and band. It wouldn't be too much work, but I'm scared o_o
