This bra is very tight. I measured myself based on memory, so it's possible that I may be off, but not very likely. Nonetheless, the bra is tight, but looks good. Ive only worn it twice.. I plan to wear this bra occasionally. I'd order from this site again..

They aren't kidding when they say "full coverage!" I ordered this to wear under a fancy dress, but the cups practically go up my armpits. I'm breastfeeding, so I feel like my size changes daily, but I wear another Wacoal style in the same size and it fits perfectly. This seems too large.

I have a black bra of this exact same model number and size that I bought around 5 years ago. It fits perfectly and is the best strapless bra I've ever owned. This "natural nude" one I'm reviewing comes up too high in the front and sides of the front. It's probably less than a half inch higher but because I'm short waisted the difference is noticable. It digs in higher under my arms and covers more of me in front. It is less comfortable and less attractive. I actually think the whole bra is a little bigger. What a shame! I don't know if they changed it on purpose or made it in a different factory with less quality control but it's going back.

Size was good. Same as I was measured by Dillards. This was very uncomfortable. I was poked in breastbone by the wire. RETURNED.

I was ever so slightly hopeful that this would work for me based on the positive reviews. I have never been successful with a strapless bra being a 38G, but had to try it one more time for my wedding dress. This was not even close to offering me any hope of support. I know I am larger and have heavy breasts, but this wouldn't have worked even using the straps. I ended up finding a dress designer to help convert my sister's wedding dress from strapless to an option with straps/sleeves - and now I am searching for a bra that is a step away from strapless - balconette - also appears to be a challenge so far, but getting closer.

This bra helped me, but not in a the way I expected. It didn't give me the excellent lift and shape described in other reviews. Instead, it helped me determine, after extensive and necessary research over the years, that there is no holy grail strapless bra for my large chest, and that the real solution is to give up trying to wear strapless tops and dresses. I bought this bra for wedding dress shopping. I tried my regular size, 32DD, and had to return it and size up to a 32DDD because I was spilling out of the top, as I always do when bras aren't full coverage. Even after sizing up, trying on wedding gowns was ruined by this bra. I was so distracted by how low my breasts were sittig on my torso, and how they dramatically stuck out that I felt like nothing looked good on me. Somehow the bra wasn't tight enough to hold me up, but it was tight enough to make unattractive fat rolls appear around my back where the bra was squeezing me. Maybe you'll have great luck with this bra, or maybe like me you won't.

This is the worst bra I have ever placed on my body. If I could give it zero stars, I would. There is no support whatsoever. Even with straps attached, the fit is poor. The top of my bust looks unflattering. The cups are molded into a weird triangle that despite my very full cleavage, it never filled into which left them looking odd in the silouettes of my clothing. I felt ugly. I felt no support. The only thing I can say kind about this bra is it didn't ship damaged and that the silicon strips are a nice feature, but frankly, given how poor this bra fits, I doubt I'll try another. Massive disappointment.

Sizing on Wacoal seems to be way off whether I buy online or at a boutique spending over an hour with some one measuring me. This is the 10th bra by them I’ve tried in less than a year and they have all been way too small. I wear a 34 or 36 in many brands and this was like a boa constrictor; could barely hook it.

Not sure if this is the bra I thought I was getting. Very little padding and cups were huge. Not sure how it got great reviews. Also Only one strap in package...

I am a 32B. I tried 32C and the cups are a bit loose (which is understood). I don't understand why they don't make this style in size 32B. My rating is for not carrying 32B size.

Though this was true to size, it was just terribly uncomfortable and stiff. The cups were heavily padded and it just added too much bulk for me. Returned.

I kept 1 of the 3 I purchased, but these two did not fit and I had to return. I wish they came in one size bigger because I love the style and color, but I have to find something else.

I am a bra designer & therefore, I know my bra size. I also know how a bra is supposed to fit from a technical standpoint & the bra that I received is defective. I am a perfect 38D & at first, this bra fit BEAUTIFULLY. However on the FIRST day of me wearing it, it has stretched out. I went from wearing the bra on the loosest hook to the smallest hook within an 8 hour period. This should NEVER happen with a quality undergarment. I reached out to Wacoal customer service & I was told that they needed to "determine" if the garment was actually defective. Also, that this process would take 4-6 weeks. Horrible customer service from such a prestiged lingerie brand. I was shocked. I learned that the return department is literally 1/2 block from me and they wouldn't even let me bring it and drop it off. So now after having shelled out a lot, I now have to pay postage to send it down the block? It truly is ridiculous & I will never purchase another bra from Wacoal.

I purchased this bra in June of 2013. I washed and cared for this bra by putting it in a lingerie bag on hand wash cycle, by September of 2013 the underwire had come out of this bra. I am very dissatisfied that I paid this much for a strapless bra and it did not wear as it should. I was measured by the sales representative in Dillards in order to ensure correct sizing. I purchased it because they have larger cup sizes.
