Best bra yet for me

I bought two. Then bought two more. Learned also from the excellent fitter in-store, who measured me: - wear your bra once, then hang it up and give it at least 24 hours before wearing it again. She gave me the bra hanger for each of my bras, which was sweet. - hand wash indeed these terrific bras. Worth it. Wash after three wearings normally. I love how this bra elevates my girls to their proper and deserved place, and creates a more natural profile than some of the exaggerated bras aimed to create a fake implant-esque uniboob sort of look that simply looks ...weird. THIS bra does NOT do that. and do I need to say this? This bra is COMFORTABLE as well as beautiful.

Baffled by other good reviews

I almost never write product reviews, but I feel strongly about not wanting other women to waste their money on Wacoal bras. For years I wore Natori and Fayreform bras that I got at Nordstrom. When Nordstrom stopped carrying Fayreform, I was excited to see the endless positive reviews for Wacoal so I ordered 3 different styles and would have been better off throwing the money away. The bras I purchased all got great reviews for DD+ sizes. I am a 32 DDD or 32F so I was thrilled. The only thing I can figure is that the other reviewers haven't experienced a really good bra so these seem good to them. When they arrived I was in shock over the paper thin material of all 3 styles. There is no way material that thin can truly support and hold DD+. The wire was just as thin and cheap. I have owned them for 2 months, hand washed and the wire on my Awareness is totally bending and morphing. The bra does a decent job holding my breasts up but because of the flimsy wire and fabric my breasts push the the wire out in the middle so you can see wire poking out of the middle of my shirt. By the end of the day my shoulders are sore because I have to pull the straps so tight to hold everything up due to the poor quality. Awesome. The Retro Chic has decent separation but the lace is so itchy and the mesh band is so painful by the end of the day I need a hot shower and lotion to sooth my skin. The Basic Beauty is at least comfortable but it is only a tad more supportive than simply going braless. To my chesty friends out there who have been wearing Wacoal, I assure you there are better bras out there. Thankfully I found my old bra on a different website and Nordstrom still sells Natori. I am awaiting delivery of a Fantasie style that I am hopeful for.

Awesomely comfortable bra!

I found my forever bra! I have been searching for years for a bra with an underwire that is comfortable that holds me in and this is the one. Thank you! It's no longer about rushing home and ripping off the bra as soon as I get home from work...it's that comfy. Being big busted is no longer a curse!

Amazing as usual

Been wearing these for several years now, since I discovered them. This is the ultimate bra for us large chested women. There is support (non bouncing when you walk) and these are durable (previous bras all lasted about 2 years). This is just the best bra made!

Wacoal Awareness Animal Print

The Wacoal Awareness bra is very comfortable to wear all day and into the evening. Just enough give, natural lift, easy to wear underwire and coverage for T-shirts, knits, and activewear. Love the animal prints, they spice up an outfit, and are a fun change from solid colors. The wide straps never dig in my shoulders, the jacquard fabric provides a smooth look under any top. I have several animal prints, colors, and sizes in this bra, love to alternate to start my day. Highly recommend!

Looks like they changed this bra.

This bra has been tbe best for those with bulky breast. However, when I opened the package this time there seemed to be a change in the construction, it seemed flimsy. So I compared with my current bra and they removed the liner on the side panels. Not sure if this is intentional or defect in manufacturing. I am not going to keep.

Not the same Wacoal quality I'm used to....

Unfortunately, Wacoal has changed their quality for the cheap. I have been wearing this same model bra for about 6 years and recently purchased new ones. They fit fine, and at first I has no problems.... after wearing a few times and 1 hand-washing, the back started rolling up! The bra is now flimsy, and the back is constantly rolling up and I need to tug and pull at it! Not what I expected from Wacoal at all....this is unfortunate. Please don't buy this product.....

Wacoal Awareness 85567

Fitted at a well known department store to exact size Wacoal bra. Bought through Nordstrom the exact bra. This bra was so tight around the chest I could not hook. Bought two of the same bras, and they both fitted the same. Had to return and did not re-order. Double :( :(

Straps were the problem

I love Wacoal bras . . . have been wearing them for years. But this particular model did not have stretchy straps. I'm large busted and fairly tall. The straps were way too short for my body. I measured them against my current Wacoal and, while they measured the same, the lack of elasticity made the bra a torture chamber. Other than the straps, the bra fit perfectly and I was really sorry I couldn't wear it. It would be very helpful if the description noted this detail.

disappointed

This bra runs 4" shorter than the 855186. The only difference in this bra & the 8555186 is this bra has a soft lining. they are identical otherwise.
