Customer Reviews Wacoal Red Carpet Full-Busted Strapless Bra 854119

Ladies, this bra is A-MAZING!!! You'll experience no sagging, sliding, or "shelving". This piece of technological wonder holds onto my E cup "girls" in defiance of gravity, as normally when I go strapless my boobs look like two puppies trying to wiggle over a fence when I bend over. The strategically placed boning maintains the structure all around without the pancake-flat smashing or boob-tubing effect of other items in my large collection of strapless bra FAILS. Thank you, Wacoal...for bringing my 40ish boobs back to more 20ish latitude without requiring that I hike the back strap all the way up to the top of my neck. Full-figured gals with heavy breasts....you will NOT be disappointed!

I do not typically write reviews, but I think this product deserves one. As a smaller frame girl with a large chest, I have been hunting for a while for a strapless bra that would provide major support and great fit. I've owned many in the past that are just...not good. I ordered a large number of strapless bras from Zappos (every single one I could find that fit the bill) and decided to try them all. This is the only one I kept. I am highly impressed by the fit and quality of this product. It hugs my chest as if it was molded just for me and does a relatively good job of staying up -- not perfect, but after some major jumping jacks to test, it had only slid down about an inch or so and there was no spillage, so I doubt anyone would be able to tell unless you were wearing something quite thin. To anyone considering this product, I highly recommend you give it a try. Just one thing to note, however. If you have sensitive skin, be warned that both the bottom and top of the bra are lined with those sticky plasticky strips that straplesses are known for, and it can get pretty uncomfortable/itchy -- this comes with the territory, though, as without these I really do not think a strapless would be able to hold up breasts my size. Still, that means 2 for comfort, as I could see myself getting quite uncomfortable with extended wear. Girls with more modest bra sizes might consider a more comfortable, but less supportive, product. Regarding size, the bras I currently own are 36D, but in this bra 34DD was a perfect fit. I think that might be my true size right now as I have lost some weight and not been bra shopping, but since another commenter mentioned the same thing, you may consider ordering both the size you currently wear as well as another that is a strap size down and a cup size up.

Wow! I'm a 40DDD and this bra didn't shrink from the challenge of holding my girls in place. It lifts and separates so that you have a natural contour (no more puppies fighting under a blanket!), is comfortable and doesn't feel like it's about to slide down to your navel (I tested it against The Ramones "I Wanna Be Sedated"). This is a great bra--my strapless pieces look terrific!

I can't believe I waited so long to try this! Having a small frame and carrying around size triple D has always been uncomfortable and tiring. I took a chance on this bra and I am thrilled to discover that it defies that ever present force called gravity. No more straps painfully digging grooves into my shoulders. While it isn't easy to spend that kind of money on a bra, I will be investing in another one as soon as I can.

I am so impressed! I can't believe that my DDDs are uplifted and that this bra stays in place. It wears like my favorite Wacoal bra. I can't believe there is a perfect strapless for me, and am looking forward to all the new strapless tops and dresses -- I can wear them now!

I never write reviews but just had to for this bra. I had major doubt this would work for me as I'm a plus size gal and was afraid first this bra would not hold up my girls and second my fat belly would some how get in the way. Well I got the bra tried it on and was very very impressed. It did exactly what it needed to do. Read the other reviews on this bra (some of them are very funny ) and then just buy it! You will be glad you did.

I love this bra so much I have 8 of them for every day of the week, plus 1 extra. But now I have problems getting my arm behind my back to access the clasp and I'm devastated. Wacoal, can you please make a red carpet strapless that has a front closure for those of us who have shoulder injuries but still want a nice supportive strapless? How do I advocate for this? I can't be the only woman with this issue.

I purchased the Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless Bra 854119, It was the first strapless I had ever purchased. This is the most comfortable bra I have ever had on. I wear a 42DDD and It holds me up with comfort.

Great strapless bra: stays put without creating back roll, gives a normal shape, and is as comfortable as I could expect a strapless bra to be. I wear a 36C or D in everyday bras, and the 34DD is perfect. Note it does not create "lift" like on the model, or at least it doesn't do that for me.

After reading others’ reviews, I really hoped this would work well for me. I wear 32DD in everyday bras from Wacoal and Fantasie, and even in a Boden swimsuit. The sister size 34D never works in an everyday bra for me; the band creeps up in the back. I tried this bra in 32DD, 32DDD, 34D, and 34DD. I had spillage in all 4 sizes. (The 32DD was downright comical.) As expected, 34 was too loose and wouldn’t stay up, AND still had spillage, ESPECIALLY as it fell. Possibly a 32G would work, but I’m too frustrated to bother. Why is fitting a strapless bra so hard? Haven’t the engineers had DECADES to figure it out?

I love the look of an off the shoulder top, but I thought my days of wearing strapless bras were over because I'm 55 and a 34DD, but after reading the fantastic reviews for this Red Carpet Bra, I decided to give it a try. This bra is truly a marvel! I wore it for nine hours today (strolled around the city and went out to dinner) and I didn't feel the need to hoist it up nor did I rush to take it off at the end of the day. It's not as comfortable as an everyday bra, but it's great for a special evening. The bra creates a natural, rounded shape with separation and lift. (By the way, I used the "Find Your Fit" tool and my result was a 34D even though I wear a 34DD in Bali and Vanity Fair, so I ordered one of each. The 34DD is still my perfect fit.) I can't wait to wear it with a strapless dress!

I am completely surprised how much I love this bra! My bra Sales Advisors know "no padding at all" is my first request as 36G. I dont even like "molded foam" cups but the unpadded strapless didn't come in my size and I needed a strapless bra for an evening gown. To my surprise, this bra didn't make me look bigger and I didn't pull it up or adjust it after dancing the entire night. The bra did not move! I own 35 Wacoal bras and this is my #1. I own it in every color.

I was skeptical. Took a chance after trying several sizes (bands and cups). I wore it yesterday and it was comfy for about five hours, and I didn't have to pull it up at all during that time. I usually wear a 36 DDD. I ended up with the 36 G in this one. The band is a tad looser than I wanted but the 34 G and 34I cups were too small though the band fit a bit better. I'm now looking forward to wearing cami strap, one-shoulder, or strapless dresses this summer.

I have a larger chest and this is the only strapless bra I've found that actually stays put

Best strapless for those of us with larger cup needs. I sized up from a DDD to a G and sized down my normal 34 to a 32 and it fits perfectly. Doesn't move. I'm a huge bargain and clearance shopper. I paid full price for 2 of these bra's and do not regret it.

Wow! A strapless bra that is actually comfortable, stays up, and looks natural under clothing? Who would have thought it possible? This bra lives up to its hype. And don't be fooled into thinking this is just a bra for a big busted sisters. I'm a B-cup and it fits perfectly. I'm usually a 34B, but I followed Walcoal's sizing instructions. According to my measurements, they recommended a 36B. Being skeptical, I ordered a 34B and and 36B and sure enough, the 36B fit perfectly. A bra this good was worth the extra price!

I have never been able to wear a strapless bra before. I wear 34 DDD and it's been imposible to find a strapless bra that will actually stay up. No MORE! I've found it and I cannot believe it. I put it on and shook myself around, jumped and I couldn't believe it was still in place, INTACT! It definitely worked for me.

I love this bra. I am a 30G and this is the only strapless bra that has ever been worth its salt. Very comfortable, underwire does not hurt in the underarm area as with some bras and there is minimal slipping. The convertible straps are great, too, I bought it to wear with a one shoulder dress so it really helps keep everything "up and at 'em."

I am so excited about this bra. I just received it and I absolutely love it. I am very small with a big bust (normally a 28FF). I always have to drive an hour and a half away to a place to have my bras custom made and am always spending about 75-90 per bra. I ordered this in the 30G and it fits perfect. This is my first strapless bra and I couldn't be happier. It is comfortable and supportive.

Really happy with this purchase. This is a big bra that takes up a lot of real estate on the chest but it does what I wanted it to do. I wore this to a wedding and was able to dance all night without being uncomfortable. Definitely does the job without being painful!

This is the best strapless bra I have ever worn. It gives a nice shape, as nice or nicer than a regular bra, is supportive and comfortable. It comes in a wide range of sizes (I wear 32dd). Price is reasonable. I wear it with tank tops that are cut too deep on the sides for a regular bra and it looks great. Would purchase again!

Wow! Never thought I would be able to wear a strapless bra but after reading reviews I decided to try. So glad I did cause this bra is amazing. Great support & I don't feel like I'm going to fall out. Gives me so many wardrobe options. I'm a 38DDD but ordered a 36G and it's perfect!

This is awesome for larger chested girls! This bra stays in place so there is no pulling it up as the night marches on! Recommended!

This bra is amazing! I HATE strapless bras but that's probably because I could never find one to fit me right. But this one scoops up my girls and gives them the support they need!! (My cleavage looks pretty!) It takes a little getting used to it because I haven't had on a strapless bra in a VERY LONG TIME! My shoulder indents couldn't be happier! My shoulders are FREEEEEEE! I only wish it came in more colors and patterns, such as floral. This bra opens up a whole new shirt wardrobe for me! Thanks ZAPPOS!
