Wacoal Womens Retro Chic Unlined Mesh Full Coverage Underwire Bra 855186

I cannot say enough good things about the Wacoal Women’s Plus Size Retro Chic Full Figure Underwire Bra! This is hands down the best bra I have ever owned—and at this point, it’s the only bra I ever want to buy again. From the very first time I put it on, I knew it was worth every single penny. The fit is absolutely phenomenal. As someone who wears a 36H, finding a bra that actually supports, lifts, and shapes without digging in or slipping has always been a struggle. But this bra does it all with ease! The underwire gives amazing structure without being uncomfortable, and the lace detailing is not only beautiful but also surprisingly durable. It manages to be elegant and sexy while still giving me the everyday support I need. What blows me away the most is how comfortable it is for all-day wear. No slipping straps, no pinching, no constant readjusting—it stays exactly where it should and makes me feel put together from the moment I put it on until I take it off at night. My clothes fit better, I feel more confident, and I actually look forward to wearing it (something I never thought I’d say about a bra). Yes, it has a higher price tag, but honestly, it’s worth every dollar. I’d rather have one of these than five cheaper bras that don’t deliver. Wacoal nailed it with this design, and I don’t see myself ever going back to anything else. If you’re on the fence—trust me, just get it. You’ll fall in love too. Read more

I absolutely love the look this bra creates. I do not find it to cause "cone boobs", although I can see how if someone perhaps was trying to squeeze into a too small cup it might have that effect. My natural cleavage is close, and the bra did not space me too far apart. That said, this is not a cleavage creating low cut top type of bra. It does not push up, and is not like a balcony or half cup style bra that creates a more rounded shape. This bra brings everything straight forward. If you're looking for projection, this is great bra. It has a two part cup, with the seam going horizontally across the middle. I personally do not care for molded seamless cup bras. The bra is so feminine for a full cup style bra. I'd purchased it for everyday type wear and think its lovely for that. It might not appear super sexy, but under clothing it certainly creates a super sexy profile. The matching panties are very feminine as well. I have this bra in black, heather pink, and also in cappuccino, and feel that the cappuccino is the prettiest. I rarely reach for the black, I wish it was all black. The black is black lace over a sheer white netting, while the cappuccino has a nude/taupe type net under the lace that makes the bra appear more sheer, as the skin looks to be more exposed, even though its really not. The pink is a nice pastel pink (more about color choices below). This bra will show at the top if you have a low cut or sort of low but wide neckline. One thing I've noticed is that these bras tend to feel tight in the band. You might want to consider ordering "sister sizing" (go up a back size and down a cup size) if you're undecided. For reference I have a 31.5" rib cage, and most often wear a 34G (US and UK sizing). The cups for this bra fit me perfectly, the band was snugger than I like. I chose to stay with my back size and may use a bra band extender until the bras stretch out some. This style has been offered in various colors over the years, so, if you're purchasing from a reseller, its a good idea to make sure you're getting the color you think you are, especially if you're matching panties to it. I know it was once offered in a heather pink, which is a pale pink, and also carnation pink which is brighter and darker. Currently Amazon is showing it in cappuccino and toast, and these are completely different shades from each other. I think the most current color offering by Wacoal is ivory. Read more

If you have larger breasts, this bra is truly transformative. I wish I had discovered it sooner. You don't realize how much your back aches until you try it on. You can work out and move freely while staying secure. Your breasts are fully supported. It feels like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. You look fantastic in your outfits, with everything fitting smoothly and your back looking sleek. I've bought four of these bras. Something amazing happened after wearing it for a few months: my breasts were genuinely lifted. This bra keeps you in place so effectively that, over time, it helps your skin tighten and elevate. I've never owned a bra that could do that. Plus, it's gorgeous! I will always choose this bra. You truly get what you pay for. It's the best option for women with larger breasts. The shape is beautiful as well. Read more

I won't order this through Amazon again. I will order direct from Wacoal. The box arrived with two items in it: a dog toy and this bra. The box was way too big for both items. The Amazon seal tape had been cut open and someone had tried resealing it with regular packing tape. It's embarrassing to think who might have opened the box along the way. I live in an isolated rural community and don't want the UPS guy to have my bra fall out of a box just because it's poorly packed or someone might have added it to the box with the other item as an after thought. I only wear Wacoal bras, and this makes them look bad. It's not their fault. Read more

Perfect fit, very beautiful; the colour rich, just as shown. No itch, gentle on skin. Just what I expected.🥰 Read more

This is my favorite bra! I love the older style conical bras, and this is a great modern take on them. I’ve owned this bra in two sizes and need to buy a new one since losing weight. I find this style to be great for more tuberous or pendular breasts. The underwire is comfortable and not noticeable if you’re in the right size. The gore is quite high (I like that), as well as the cups themselves, so lower cut tops could expose them. I especially like that the straps are not stretchy—they are solid and stay put. With an appropriately snug band, the straps don’t need to do much work to support the breasts. This style does provide great lift—just gotta practice your proper swoop and scoop technique. Read more

Very tight. I had to purchase a hook extension. Cup size good, but note there is a seam running horizontally and can be seen in used under thin knit garment. Read more
