Customer Reviews Wacoal Retro Chic Full-Busted Underwire Bra 855186

This bra offers great support for large cups sizes, but the fit has downfalls. The cups come up very high on your chest so I can only wear this bra with very high-necked tops. The boning on this sides, under the armpits also comes up very high. While this helps with support, it also tends to dig in under my arms by the end of the day. I do love the support of this bra, but it is pretty limited when and what I can wear it with.

I just received the two I ordered and I wish I had gotten more! This is the best bra I've ever had. It is so supportive and my favorite part is that the straps adjust a great deal. I have a small frame but a large chest so this bra is ideal.

This is the most comfortable bra I've ever owned. For big busted girls, you've got to try this bra. The size options in this brand are the best I've found.

I wish they could they make this bra without the underwire. Right now I remove the underwire because it is killing me (poking my chest at the center) and I am still getting support, but not as much as with the wire. Otherwise, it is a beautiful, supportive creation.

Love this bra, already had it in other colors but had not seen the pink available anywhere else.

Wow, I love this bra. I purchased it inn Heather pink, and the pantie to match! Beautiful, well made, and great support. Wacoal makes things to last. The underwire does not poke, and provides the support I need. I am very happy with my purchase!

Excellent support for this plus size figure. Figure flattering and such a pretty color. A week bit scratchy feeling but otherwise like it.

.I am a 42-44H bra size... When you have heavy breast you need to have a great supportive bra, no sagging for me. Im 70 yrs. old and my girls sot up with pride...lol

I've been wearing Retro Chic for years. It's the only bra that fully supports, lifts, and separates, but I do wish it didn't have visible seams under t-shirts.

Makes me look 20 years younger

Being full figured it's hard to find a bra that fits well and is also pretty. This bra is both!

Love the lightweight, minimal, semi-sheer pointelle lace fabric and heavy-duty support this bra provides. As a summertime bra, it is very cooling and the slim ribbon-like straps are so pretty. Love the colors. Wildwind blue completely blends in with any chambray, denim, oxford cloth blue blouse or dress. Tres chic! In winter, it's not bulky under multiple layers, and holds its shape even under thickly knit sweaters. Never a uniboob in sight with Retro Chic.

This has been my go-to bra for years. Very supportive for large cup sizes, but also pretty. Doesn’t work well with low scoop neck tops or thin material tees, but if you hate minimizer bras, this is a great bra.

Best bra ever. It gives me comfortable support, a beautiful shape, no minimizing or extra padding, and the most stylish, sexy look I've seen in a bra that can truly handle enormous breasts. The only downside to it is that the lace can show under clingy, shiny shirts. For those, I have to switch to molded cups, and then I long to switch back to this. (Or my cheap Bali version.) In response to the reviews complaining about the size and shape of the underwires, I love it. For me, the capacity of the cups, particularly the underwires at the outsides, are what give this bra such a flattering shape. There's no bulging armpit "muffin top" with this bra! If you've never had a problem fitting into a demi cup or bras with shallow sides and backs, this bra will probably poke you in the armpits. If, however, most full-coverage bras leave you wondering how to fit all of your breast into the cup, you must try this bra!

I love the style of this bra. I'm a 36DD and I found that it increased the projection and height of my bust by a lot, but it did create more of a pointed shape. I prefer a softer, rounded shape. Also, the band was tighter than I was expecting- it felt about 1 size too small, though it is the usual band size I wear. If you like good support and a retro look, size up the band and you'll probably love it!

It gives a nice form. Careful on band size. Tighter than most bras Ive purchased so be sure to size up.

This is a winner. I did my bra research, thanks to Zappos' free shipping both ways. I ordered four or five styles in two sizes each. This is the winner. It gets four stars because it does dig in but a 38DDD, 55 year old lady has a lot to support; this gets the job done! It is pretty, too.

Beautiful design, great support, but poor craftsmanship of some of the back seams make for a most uncomfortable and unwearable bra. The irritation of the stiff, scratchy edges near clasp make it impossible to wear. Too bad as I was impressed with overall design but the production failed the design.

I was expecting this to be more comfortable but find the wires dig into my ribcage. The back band is also itchy although after washing I'm hoping it will improve

Not my style. Iam 36/38G (depending on style) I like a natural look and these make the breasts too pointy. Like 1950s sweater movies! LOL Also the material isn't really all that smooth. My go to are 855192 and 855225.

This has been my favorite bra for years. So happy you are still making this style!

Wonderful bra. Great fit and fairly comfortable.

Love this bra. Have been wearing this style for years.

I love this style. I have others.

What a wonderful blue color. So pretty. This bra is sexy with the lacey open area on top area of my breasts.The fit is perfect !!
