Wacoal Bodysuede Ultra Full Figure Bra 85814 Reviews

This the best bra I've worn in ages. The wires do not poke me under the arms, as most do. The only thing I don't like is that I too feel that the straps need to be longer. Overall the lift and fit is great. I love the sot fabric and the slings in the cups pull everything forward. Marilyn from Orange,TX USA

The fit is perfect for a petite plus size woman. Submitted from TheUndies.com

This is three stars for two reasons: 1) the under wire digs into my skin (I've solved the painful problem by wrapping the wire area with moleskin; it still leaves an impression but it is tolerable now); 2) the straps are too far apart in back, they tend to slip off my shoulders. The best fit was a bra with the straps closer to each other in the back. I know the straps are not supposed to be the main support, and I do have the right size. It’s not because I have narrow shoulders, they are wider than the rest of me. That said, this is the first bra I've had with no overspill, in the front and sides. Do they listen to us? Would they change the strap placement in back?

HerRoom Response: Your symptoms are curious. Your wires digging into you is usually a sign that your cup size is not large enough. the straps on this bra are more centered than most, so they shouldn't be falling. I'm wondering if you might be a 32G? Sally from Denville, NJ, USA

Did not find this bra to fit as a full figure, only 3 hooks, was not a proper fit.

HerRoom Response: Your comment is curious. In this style from Wacoal, Band sizes 38 and larger all have 4 hooks. DeeDee from Dallas/TX

This bra was recommended as a replacement for the Wacoal 85514 which I just love but has been discontinued. Although the fit was fine, it did not have the light padding in the cups I like about the other model - it only has thin material, not good for wearing under a light material blouse in a cold office. I ended up returning the 85814 and mourn the loss of the 85514 which was one of the most comfortable bras I've ever owned. RC from San Antonio, Texas

Very comfortable. I have fuller sized breasts and this bra fits great. It is not too shallow. This is my everyday bra. Holly from North Carolina

I've worn this bra for several years, but always bought them in a store to far away to shop all the time. This was so convenient and with no shipping charge, well that's the best. You will definitely hear from me again. shirley from toronto,ohio usa

Comfortable but after 12 hours of wear, underwire can dig into you if you aren't sitting up straight. Not an everyday all day wearer but it is the most comfortable underwire I have ever wore. Virginia from La Conner WA USA

I was disappointed that the cups were not lined. Also, a thicker strap would be nice. Overall, the cups fit well, but I don't think it holds me up as much as I would like. I don't think I would by this style again. Suzanne from CT

What a wonderful bra. I have another brand that I have purchased for years. I tried this one on the last time I went shopping. I loved it so much I went online and purchased another. It is so soft and feminine. I can't believe the support it gives. I am not used to liking bra shopping. It is worth every penny of the price. Jodi from Mission/SD/US

Great cup coverage. But not enough padding to hide the signs of being cold. Julie from Bloomingdale/IL/USA

This is the one! Super support and comfort! Trish from New Jersey

Very comfortable and excellent cup size/coverage. The straps are not cushioned, nor extra wide which would have been nice. There are only 3 hooks on the back, not four as advertised. In the larger sizes, a wider back is needed too. Debi from Auburn Hills/MI/USA

I just bought this bra and although it is snug I am able to comfortably wear it all day - even through naps. I had been wearing a 38C but there was no coverage or support for my outer sides of my breasts and my breasts were pushed together in front. I would have never picked up a double D except for a couple of very attentive sales associates. This bra holds in the little folds under my arms and fits flat across the center of my chest without making me look too huge. Also no back fat rolls. A good fitting is a must!! The sales associate suggested I hand wash with Dawn and air dry to extend the life of the bra. And so sexy looking too!! Elena from Kansas City, MO

I have been wearing this bra for the past 3 years. It is a bit pricey I know, but the quality of the material is quite good and I have never had an underwire pop out on me. It is comfortable and launders well. I hand wash them and NEVER, NEVER put any bra in the dryer. Toni from Palos Hills, IL

So very soft and comfortable, unlike any of the other 9 full figure bras I tried in one week with no side poking. Fits like a dream with a good uplift and natural, but young shape. Did not like high underwires in the middle (much more than in photo, maybe a feature with large cups) or complete coverage of top of breast. Nipples really show through. The side slings are genius. Disadvantage is that even on the second day I wore it, it was letting the breast hang over the underwire by the afternoon. I think the main fabric is just too thin. Sharon from St Louis, Missouri

I have very few options on bra's. apparently bra makers feel that if you wear anything bigger than a 40D,.you're not worth the trouble so they make granny bra's or cone bra's. I have this bra,.and although it's a tad snug,.it's comfortable and doesn't make my breast look abnormal, or smashed or bigger than they are. They don't stick out like w/Playtex. It makes close fitting clothing like t-shirts look great! And it comes in the color nude! I would have given it 5 stars if the straps were more padded. MARY from CHICAGO, IL

This bra is fantastic! It is on the expensive side, but well worth the money. The best bra I have ever bought. Stacey from Alameda, CA USA

The straps are about 2" too short. I have this problem on almost every bra I buy. Would be awesome if straps were just a little longer. Thanks for Letting me comment. Linda Linda from Cleburne,Texas, usa

Comfortable and supportive, though wider straps would be nice. The side slings in the cups and a strong top line help to hoist everything front and center, so that the underwires do not stick out sideways and poke me in the arms. Bought one, loved it, bought 4 more. I wash them with Dreft - seems OK so far. G from Fountain Valley, CA

This is the best bra that I've ever purchased. It fits perfectly, and looks great under all my cloths. I would recommend this bra to anyone who's been searching for the perfect bra ! Roseann from NJ

i love this bra and have several. it gives me a great shape. though i would love one that offered the same shape, but a little more skin....if Wacoal is listening... Wacoal Loyal from California

This is by far the best bra I have found in years. I agree with the others that it stretches out and begins to feel less supportive way too soon. It's too expensive not to last. I also wish it had the material from the side support across the entire cup so that it would not show through. Carol from Little Rock, AR
