Wacoal has been iffy in the past few purchases...so I tried again. Currently I wear a 40 G. You were out so I figured I'd order a 42D and a 42DD...just to see if they would fit. The 42 DD was smaller around the ribs than the 42D...both were smaller around the ribs than my 40G's...I guess I have to go to Macy's or Nordstroms just to buy a new bra since their sizing is so off...nowadays.

I absolutely love it! I am so happy with my purchase. As a matter of fact, I ordered a second one a few days after I received my first one! This bra is perfect for summer. It is a great t-shirt bra, or if you are looking for support without all of the weight of additional padding, etc. I am so pleased with this brand, makes bra shopping so much more pleasant. I hated bra shopping before I found Wacoal and finding it on Zappos is like icing on the cake!

anything for Wacoal - or Zappos for tha matter!

While it fit technically (42DD), it was HUGE!! The back was so wide I could not even reach the top hook to fasten it. The overall feel and look is much like a sports bra. It's a good quality product, and I'm sure the intent was extra support for the larger size. It was just much more fabric than I need.

I love this bra! As someone who was in denial about their cup size, and then knew it but still wore the wrong size bra, this was the answer to my prayers. It doesn’t make my boobs look giant or pinup like as some other bras did. It’s comfy and supportive. I can wear it all day and I like the tapered straps for when I wear racerback tanks. 15/10 recommend.

Wacoal's total comfort bra for the petite frame full busted woman. Shoulder straps are properly placed not to slip off a smaller frame body. Wacoal's high-end superior fabric and construction offering you complete comfort. This is the best fit I've even known! thank you Zappos for offering this great Wacoal product! It's always a pleasure to Zappos shop!

I love these bras! It is nice to be able to find a bra that is in a 34DDD that is supportive, well made, and looks nice without all the frills. Thanks, Zappos for carrying this wonderful bra.

This is agreat bra. I am 5ft. tall and wear a 32DD. I have problems finding a supportive bra that doesn't come up to high under my armpit and hurt. Many times I can't shorten the straps enough for me. This bra does not do either! I will buy more!

The bra fits well but isn't quite as cute as I'd hope. But Wacoal bras are very supportive.

I love this bra because it gives me coverage without bulk, padding or seams. I am cost-conscious but am happy to pay for quality. This fits the bill. BTW, this brand never goes on sale. I learned this at L&T, where a clerk said most dept stores exclude the brand in the fine print. However, it is worth it for me. You can feel the elastic on the band, cups and straps -- all provides substantial, firm support.

This has been a very good choice for me. I just ordered my second one in the same style. There was another Wacoal bra that I wore for about 10 ten year....it was THE BEST bra EVER! I had it in several colors etc., and for some sad reason they discontinue it. A BIG bummer, so I was on the hunt for another style that would be as good as the last one. This bra is not lacy and is not as pretty, but it is very comfortable, so glad I found it! Thanks!

Excellent product. Best I have found to not slip off of my shoulders and yet support my breasts. I have spent so much money on much more expensive products that hurt or didn't provide support required. I reordered this one already.

Like other reviewers, this is one of the most comfortable bras I have found in YEARS! The straps do not slip; it provides terrific support -- well worth the prices. If it had just a tad of padding, it would be even better. I would recommend it to any full-figured person who, for some reason, finds other bra straps constantly slipping off the shoulder!

None - this one has been the best by far.

Love it! So comfortable! I have small shoulders so the "racer back" type straps are perfect. I love the wide band. Also, the cup doesn't dig into my arm pits. I'm a 38C/D. I bought one each to see which fits better and to tell the truth, both the C and the D feels great. I'll be keeping both. My only regret is that it's not lined. I don't think I'll wear them under a thin white shirt for fear of nipples showing but it's just so comfortable that I'm willing to overlook that one thing.

A fantastic fit for this 34DD. Nice shape, and great for under T-shirts. No bulging. I will be getting another!

I have been wearing this same brand and bra type for eons. Soft and comfortable underwire and straps, and just the right amount of padding. Truly, as a basic bra without all the frills and lace, it tops all the rest!

Spanx underwire: outta this world beauty, style and staying-power. . .otherwise, I recommend this bra!

This is a wonderfully comfortable bra. The straps are slightly closer to my neck, providing good support without as much pressure over my shoulders.

I've been wearing this bra forever & I love it but with one caveat, the band is to tight. The cup size is perfect however for whatever reason you insist on making the bank almost a size smaller so it hurts to wear until you've worn it for at least a month, everyday until it stretches out. Why?

Very nice bra for the price. The cup does not come up too high in the underarm and is comfortable.

I really like these bras,they are in a cup and band size that are impossible to get in stores. Plus, since these are a full coverage cup, I dont have problems with the cup coming up too high under my arm. I Think its a very good buy

This bra is seriously supportive for larger sizes (42H), but the picture is a bit misleading in terms of how much coverage there is (much more than shown!). In the large size, the wire at the center and the fabric at the top of the cups come up so high that I can't wear this under any of my clothes without the bra showing (and I'm pretty long between my shoulders and my chest). This would be fine if you only ever wear turtlenecks or high crew neck shirts. Returning.

Based on reviews, I ordered this a size up from my normal Wacoal size. It is still WAY too small. Based on the photos, the back curves up from the hook area to the straps. Not so on the one I received - the straps are almost straight up from the hooks, so even if it fit the straps would be very close to my neck and show under anything other than a crew neck or turtle neck. I love Wacoal but this one is a complete dud.

I have been a faithful Wacoal wearer for 15 plus years. The past few times (past year) the bras have caused severe pain because the underwire cuts into me right under my armpit. I don’t know if they aren’t capping the wire or if they are using inferior materials but it is a big disappointment. Kudos to Zappos as they refunded my last two purchases because the darn underwire practically punctured me!!!! In search of a new bra manufacturer....

44C plus size review. I am really a size 44 small B and there are few bras that come in my size. I went into a Russian owned coreset shop in NYC and they handed me this bra. It is the best fit in a bra since I went past a 38 band years ago. This is a compression fit. It works for me. Uplift, the straps stay in place, does not cut into the back flab, and I can jump up and down on a rebounder with no bounce. The other bra I recommend is the Softly Styled Underwire Bra 855301, but it only comes up to a 42
