Definitely Minimizes
I think this bra is terrific. It's totally smooth, and it really minimizes the appearance of the bust. I've found that most minimizer bras do this by pushing your breasts out towards your armpits, so that you look smaller in profile but still can't button up a shirt. This one keeps your breasts pretty centered on your chest but holds them in really tight. I'm glad to take it off at the end of the day, but it's comfortable to wear all day. It is not cute and not sexy, but it gets the job done.

Underwire always breaks through
I have several of these bras because Wacoal is one of the only brands that carries my size (32G). But unfortunately, I will never buy their bras again because on every one I own the underwire has broken through the material covering it. I have try sewing them and it always breaks through again and again. I wrote to them and they said there is nothing they will do. I also have Feya bras and they are much better quality. I will be sticking with them from now on.

Wacoal minimizing bra
This was my first try at another brand besides Chantelle. I normally wear the Chantelle minimizer as well. I ordered the same size i wear in Chantelle and one cup size larger. The Wacoal fits tighter on the band and smaller in the cup. So i took the same band size and a larger cup. That was the right fit. My biggest complaint is why do they use thin shoulder straps for large breasted women. It hurts, period. This would be a pretty good bra if it didn't hurt my shoulders as all bras do. I'm a 34 to36 DD or DDD. And i have never found a bra i can call comfortable-never! I just look for one's that fit well. The comfort comes when i take the bra off. I have been fitted professionally and it makes no difference. So all you large breasted women this is a decent fit but not that comfortable. Neither is the Chantelle. They just don't make comfortable well fitting bras for large breasted women that are not over weight.

The BEST MINIMIZER I own!!!
After YEARS of looking for the perfect minimizer for my 36G's, I FINALLY found this keeper!! I've spent several hundred dollars on so-called 'minimizers' that either smushed my girls or fit like a regular bra. FINALLY, this one gives me the much needed support I need without the uni-boob effect. This bra's very comfortable and flattering under all clothing, especially tee's.

Over 70
I've been wearing this manufacturer and bra style for at least 30 years. I'm very full figured and it holds them up and in and is comfortable. Worth every penny.

Very thin
Virtually no lining; it's impossible to avoid flashing people your n*ps.
