Wacoal Womens Awareness Unlined Underwire Full Coverage Bra 85567

This bra changed my life. Well, actually getting professionally fitted AND buying this bra changed my life. Was going on the job market and decided to get a professional bra fitting at Nordstrom's before buying any interview clothes. Holy cow! I had been wearing too big a band and too small a cup for years. I am very big breasted, and chose this bra because putting it on (correctly sized) suddenly made me feel really comfortable. The band was in contact with my chest all around, the cups fit, and the straps did not dig or gap. The straps are wider, which helps a lot. It feels like more bra than I had been wearing, but once on, I forget I'm wearing it. That hasn't happened in years! It also makes my clothes look better, I don't look so matronly, buttoned shirts do not gap, my neck and shoulders don't hurt, and I'm not fidgeting with it all day. It also launders well. I do machine wash it on gentle and hang it to dry. I've bought 6 or 7 of them over the last couple of years and they are worth every penny. They hold up really well. I STRONGLY encourage women who are big chested to get a professional fit and invest in a high quality bra like this one. You won't believe the difference. Read more

I LOVE this bra!!! I highly recommend it, especially to those who need a larger size. I'm large chested, and usually find myself stuffed into a DDD, which is the largest cup size available in most department stores. I was able to buy this in a G cup, however, and the fit is fantastic! It's also available in a size H and I. I originally purchased this bra at a department store while traveling and was so impressed that I went searching online to buy more. While the bra was available at various places, I was hoping to find it for less than $65, which is a bit pricey. Everywhere I looked the price was the same, but since I'm a prime member I received free shipping from Amazon which made a difference. As to fit, this bra is extremely well designed for the larger sized woman - the cups fit beautifully, the straps are comfortable, and it has extra wide side panels which completely (and comfortably) cover that extra bulge that likes to kink up under the arm, giving a nice, smooth appearance. The cups are lined with a soft, smooth knit material, with a soft lace over the top, but the "minimizing" design creates a nice support, even though the material is soft. The underwires are also very comfortable and don't dig in. I have three of these now, and am likely to buy more! I've decided it's well worth the price! Read more

Product is just what I have needed! Same great quality & fit! Read more

Have had for 4 months, holding up well so good quality. I machine wash in a mesh bag and line dry. Comfortable to wear all day. Holds in place, no shifting, not much lift. Good for my active job wearing scrubs, but not a bra I would wear to get dressed up and go out. Read more

I recently had my first baby and have been struggling to figure out what my new bra size is because my breasts expanded...hugely. I was a big Wacoal fan before pregnancy and wore a 34DD. I went to their website and watched their video on sizing/measurements and used their calculator to see what size I am now... it told me I was a 34H... I was shocked... but after reading all the reviews on the bra, I thought there was no harm in trying it as I could return it if I didn't like it. The fit was perfect! It keeps me UP! like above my elbows. I hate when my bras cant hold me up. I know my boobs are heavy but come on, I'm 30, not 65. The right bra really does make a huge difference. The straps are nice and wide so they don't dig into my shoulders. I can wear this all day long and wrangle my baby without thinking about my bra. Whereas before I was always worried about spillage. Since I'm a small gal with a small rib cage and a large bust its hard to find a bra that is actually engineered to fit - i've tried so many bras that don't adjust the spacing of where the underwires come together in the center of your chest - they are still like 1/2 inch a part pushing my boobs out to the sides of my chest instead of keeping them in front of my chest, where they belong. With this bra the wires touch each other in the center so my boobs stay centered and I don't hit my boobs with my arms when I'm reaching for something or just swinging my arms when I walk. (If you've never had that happen, you're lucky, b/c its really annoying) My minor complaints. It is really hard to fasten the hook and eye closures b/c it's very tight. After about 4 weeks and washing about once a week (hand washing in my bathtub, no washing machine) it has loosened so it's easier to hook. And I do use the last hook. My only other complaint is that the fabric around the underwire doesn't lay flat under my bust, it keeps rolling inward. I'm not sure why or how to fix this. Read more

This was my favorite bra in the past but something is seriously wrong with the band sizing. The cup size is fine but the band is impossible to connect without an extender. I had to order a size up and it still required a 2 inch extender. I am in good physical shape and slender in my torso so the band is definitely not made to match the cup size. I matched this bra with the identical bra in the past and the band width is clearly inaccurate on the new one. I gave it 3 stars only because the bra is sewn with good materials and construction but the band size makes the bra unusable. I am sorry I spent $70 + on this bra! Read more
