I have worn this bra for years and it truly does minimize! I do have a suggestion..my breast are extremely large and heavy (38G) and it would be such a wonderful improvement if you would have a wider strap or maybe a padding at the shoulder. Carla from Independence, La.

Wacoal is the best brand. The only one I purchase for bras. I prefer the Slimline Minimizer over this one. This bra does provide good support but I did not feel like it was a minimizer.

HerRoom Response: We see you prefer the 85154 minimizer which is a Wacoal classic.This bra uses a softer fabric for added comfort. Sdd from Richmond,VA

I've been wearing this bra for years. Nice, full coverage and good support and I love the minimizing. Only complaint is I would like the elastic borders on the band to be wider. The way they are now they dig into my skin which gets uncomfortable. MARY from GEORGETOWN

I have been wearing this bra for years and it was time to replace some. I didn't find anything that even tempted me to change - and some of the newer items are more expensive. Save your money, this bra does exactly what it says it will do, is comfortable all day long, and lasts a long time. Hopefully it will not be discontinued. Elaine from Omaha, NE

As I began trying this bra on, I was sure that it was going to have to be returned. There seemed to be a lot of unfilled fabric at the top of the cups. But I kept reaching in and lifting my breasts into the cups, and eventually the cups were lying smooth and filled. Talk about lift! I love the silhouette this bra gives, it's very youthful.

Fits well and is very lightweight. Sits fairly high. No low necklines with this one! Only thing that bothers me is the underwires come up rather high on the sides, so they can dig in a little. Gayle from Hudson, WI

I love Wacoal bras, but this one was disappointing. It was scratchy, and the underwire was sharp and scratchy. I was able to wear it for a few hours, but it would not be the go to bra, for long wear.

Wacoal Response: Thank you for the feedback! Traditional minimizers from the time period when this was designed are made of fabric that had no stretch or softness to be able to reduce the bust profile. Today we have sourced newer innovative fabrics that have softer fibers and controlled stretch to still reduce the profile but not feel as rigid. Try either 857210 in 44DD or 857269 in 42DDD.

Very happy with the fit. Love the full coverage cups. I don't feel like I have to re-adjust after I bend over. I origanally ordered a 34DD but it was tight around and the cup was just barely covering so I went to a 36DDD and it feels just right. Emmaline from Richfield/UT/USA

I love this bra!! It has been my only bra for years. Wacoal gets it right for a minimizer for larger breasted women and it is very affordable. I was concerned they stopped making this bra since it is not carried anymore by the department stores. Thank you Her Room for continuing to carry this style! Darlene

It is great to be able to wear a bra that is not only supportive, but helps to make you look a little smaller than you are. Hey, when you have large breasts there is but so much you can do but ladies, this bra is really good at minimizing. I would only ask that it be made in white. Barbara from Philadelphia, PA

The unique shape right above the wire gives this bra a fantastic fit. The minimizing effect is very pleasing. For me, it is still necessary to prevent nipple show by inserting "comfy cups" (purchased at HerRoom) but the result leaves me feeling like I look great in this bra. The straps are pretty and comfortable, too. I would give it Five Stars if the style were just a teensy bit more glamourous, but I wouldn't want the fit to change at all! There was one tiny area by the snap that was scratchy at first, but after a washing it has subsided. Basia from La Vernia

This bra did not have any thickness or shaping to the cups so I almost didn't try it on. But when I did I was surprised by the support. It has more lift than pretty much all the shaped-cup bras I own. The material is unstructured, but not stretchy and gives me a great shape. But the thin material means there is little forgiveness if it is cold out. I like that the straps are a little wider than normal, but not so wide that it looks ugly. Jill from Oshkosh

I adore this bra. One caveat: you will definitely have headlights. I love no padding (the girls don't need any more bulk), but that can get a little, well, awkward. But this bra always holds me exactly where I want to be (no drooping!) and makes things fit (and me feel) so much better. Alicia from Boston, MA

I am done with this bra. I like the fit/support but the underwire causes me major distress. It digs into my skin and I am constantly bending it to get it in the perfect spot. Why Wacoal doesn't pad the wire in the underarm area is beyond me. So I'm on the hunt for a more comfortable alternative.

Wacoal Response: First re-measure yourself to make sure your size is correct. Visit HerRoom's Bra Fit Center for many resources to find your best bra fit. If the size remains the same try a more paired down style with more stretch in the fabric, our new Visual Effects Minimizer 857210 would be perfect! Maria from Kingston PA

It came highly recommended but I was extremely disappointed that it was made out of really hard fabric. When will they learn that even busty women like soft, feminine undergarments. why spend a lot of money on something that feels hard and tight and you can't wait to get out of and throw across the room. Keep that stuff far away from me!!!

Wacoal Response: Hi Lauren, this style is considered a minimizer which contains fabric with restricted stretch to reduce the bust profile thereby giving it a very rigid feel. Not to worry though, we have so many options for you in lots of different laces and softer support. Try Visual Effects Minimizer Bra 857210, the seamless stretch design is beautiful and feminine and does not squash your breasts down at all! You might also like Halo Lace Molded Underwire Bra with J-Hook 851205 that has beautiful seamless lace that feels like second skin and stretches to your natural shape. Lastly, Basic Beauty Contour Spacer Bra 853192 is a ultra comfortable everyday T Shirt bra for full busted women that has breathable fabric, it is our #2 selling bra! Lauren from Maine

I am 5'7" 115lbs with a rib/band measurement of 27.5' and 35" bust. This is my everyday bra. It is total coverage so it doesn't work with tank tops or most scoop necklines. It works fine with most blouses and (for me especially) with form fitting tee shirts. I prefer a full coverage bra that minimizes. Shelly from Zionsville, IN USA

This has become my go-to bra, replacing the Wacoal Awareness bra. Smooth surface, minimizes without squashing or creating side bulges, and creates a less-round, almost teardrop shape. The cup is unlined and unpadded and is made of material that is fairly thin, though, so there is sometimes a "headlights" issue; if you are sensitive to this, this may not be the bra for you.

It's a nice, comfortable bra, well made. However, it did not fit my definition of minimizing - which is holding the breasts close together. Unless I wear a large sweatshirt my chest seems wider than it is (albeit smaller, I have to admit). I did play around with the straps - no change. Chava from New York

Very supportive, but less comfortable in my opinion than other minimizers. The band seems tighter in Wacoal - I am usually a 34 but I feel like a 36 would have been more comfortable, unless it's going to stretch a lot. L from Ohio, USA

Really like the lift this bra gives my downward looking 54 year old breasts. Gives good support without padding but the 36D feels smaller than 36D usually feelsl to me so I'm ordering a DD. Very simple in decoration and smooth so it's unobtrusive under silky clothes. immelda from vt, USA

Worth every penny. This bra is the most comfortable and natural looking minimizer I've ever worn. I'm an apple shape and I'd say this bra takes an inch off my bustline which really helps me look more in proportion. Cathy from RI

Oh, my goodness. Finally found a "regular" bra that I can just put on with ANY of my clothes and go! I prefer a bra with cups that are close together in the front, and straps that are set closer in on my shoulders so the outside of the cups aren't pinching under my arms and that design is so hard to find. This bra does both! It also has full cup coverage so there's no spillage at the top. It also doesn't seem to push your breasts to the back and side as some minimizers tend to do so you get a nice "lift without thrust". I also think the lift with this bra is much better, at least for me, than most Wacoal bras. I tend to not buy Wacoal because the cup design makes my breasts look "sad". If you're looking for a bra with these qualities I think you'll like this one. If you tend to be between sizes you might want to go up a cup size, but I found it true to size because it was the right style for me. Caryn from Brentwood TN USA

This is the first minimizer I have ever purchased. I am giving it 3 stars because it does minimize. However it is completely unlined and the wires near my are pits poke me on both sides. So far the wires have not poked through the material. I hope the do not or I will really be disappointed. I wish it could minimize and lift me some instead of flattening so much. And if I would have realized it was completely unlined I would not have purchased it. Shannon from Licking, Mo USA

Love this bra! Excellent fit for the price. I have another Wacoal in another style; nice, too but, the wire is exposed... this is the one problem they cannot seem to fix on any underwire purchased in the past from anyone. One complaint... wire in underarm can be uncomfortable at times. Could be my weight but, in any case, if I were smaller so would be the bra, right? Michelle from Maryland USA

Best Bra Ever!! It is super comfortable and gives a great fit! It makes your breasts look wonderful under clothing - no Madonna cone look, no uni-boob and no pushing your breasts to the side like most minimizer do. This bra also gives great support. I think the fit is especially important since I am only 5'1 with large natural breasts that need extra support. You cannot go wrong with this bra! Jenny from Buffalo

Excellent fit. Lifted them quite noticeably higher, which is especially important when you don't have that much height to begin with *and* have big breasts: they should be roughly halfway between your shoulder and the crook of your elbow when seen in profile, any lower and they look saggy. This bra did this, which made me look thinner overall and made my clothes fit better. It also changed my DD cleavage from scandalous to decent: the breasts are separated, not pressed together like a barmaid; they also point slightly outward, although hubby says it's sexy and not a problem, and on a smaller cup size would be less pronounced. There is a very, very slight pucker at the top of the cup where it joins the strap, but not enough to matter. The straps did raise a little blister on my back after a day or two, but it went away after a day not wearing this and now I'm back to this bra and happy. Marie from VA

I have had trouble getting bras to fit and support me for years. I was so thrilled to get this bra in the mail and have it fit perfectly the first time around. So far I am very happy with it. Supportive and minimizing. I think the straps are pretty but I don't think the bra overall looks wonderful to be honest but that's what I get sometimes with these big minimizers. Overall I couldn't be happier with it since it is actually functional. G from Virginia

I always buy Wacol for their comfortable minimizer bras. This is one that doesn't ride up or pinch at the end of the day. The first time I put it on, I was a bit skeptical, for it being new, I was afraid it was going to be scratchy. The second time I wore it, it felt like a new favorite. Comfortable, supportive, and cool. This bra lifts up the girls enough that my blouses don't have that slight "middle button pull", and under t-shirts everything is smooth. Thanks, Wacol!

I love this bra. Wacoal used to have another style that they discontinued app 5 yrs ago. I've been trying to find a replacement ever since. I've wasted hundreds of dollars trying to find a similar bra. This is about 90% and the closest I have ever found. It makes me look thinner and keeps the boobs up high and probably minimizes by about a size. Deborah from Ny

I found the underwires on this bra to have too severe of a U shape. As a result, they pressed against my rib cage a good half inch below where they ought to be. Most uncomfortable, for me at least.

Wacoal Response: If the underwire is sitting that low on the body you may need to adjust the straps to be tighter. This style has fully adjustable straps and is a top seller for a full bust. Linda from Mission Viejo, CA

This is my first time with a minimizer and my usual size, 34, is too tight. I wish I had trusted my instinct when I first tried it on so I could have exchanged it, but I had already removed the labels and this store is rigid about returns.

I love Wacoal and this is their most inexpensive minimizer. It is relatively tight fitting, but has great support and great minimization. It is one of my go to bras when I need to be "smaller" up front for an outfit to look proper.

I loved this bra at first and quickly purchased a second one but they both quickly became the worst bras I've ever worn and I say that after having been a long term, dedicated Wacoal fan. It took about 6 weeks of wear (and gentle washing) when I started noticing a tiny bit of annoyance in the breast area under my armpits whenever I wore this bra (both bras did the same thing so it wasn't a 'bad apple' issue). I continued wearing the bras because of the fabulous shape created - this bra does a great job of balancing proportions without smashing down my boobs - but I looked in the mirror one day to discover bruises on the sides of my breasts where I had been feeling the minor annoyances. I'm in a state of financial flux right now so spending more money on new bras is not in the cards which is really too bad because this bra held such promise. If it helps to know, I'm a DD with a big ribcage and wide shoulders with a little bit of extra weight but otherwise average sized.

Wacoal Response: Bras will irritate under the arms when the back size is incorrect. It sounds like you are buying a bra in too small of a band size. I believe you said you are a 36--try a size 38 and maybe even move the hook over one time and you may find more comfort. Eden3000 from San Francisco, CA

I am a petite woman and only weigh 114 lbs so it is essential for a bra to fit well. the bra is an excellent fit, but becasue of my narrow shoulders small stature with the extra problem of a large bust, my only complaint would be that the straps are not wide enough and can cut into my upper shoulders. but I love the bra and will continue to buy them.

Very uncomfortable, runs small, wires poked under arm and had to return it.

Wacoal Response: This bra is a minimizer and by design it will fit smaller because it compresses the bust for the minimizing\smaller appearance. Try a regular Wacoal full figure bra- we suggest Wacoal Basic Beauty Full Figure Underwire Bra 855192 it will give you the appearance you want and will be more comfortable. Barbara from Irmo, SC USA

This was my first Wacoal purchase and probably my last. Due to a possible design flaw, the underwire on the right dug into my skin so badly as to cause pain. There's no way I could ever wear that bra comfortably and I had to return it. Wacoal may be ok for smaller busted women, but with someone with a chest like mine not a good buy. Jackie from Ohio

I have been buying these bras for years, but the last two shipments 3 out of 4 then 2 out of four the wires have come through the sides. This is the best fitting bra I have found so far so I hope this doesn't continue. I have bras in this same type that are three years old and the wires have not come through. Hoping its a bad batch.

I love this bra because if fits so well and does a great job of minimizing, but after purchasing the same bra at a department store, and then a black one from Herroom, I am disappointed. The wires are installed such that the end of the wire on the arm side are sharp and are poking through the fabric after only a few days of wearing it. They are sharp and creating a lot of discomfort . I will have to sew something over the section that is poking through to prevent further irritation. Madeline from Highlands Ranch, Colorado USA

I purchased this item 2 months ago and gave it a very good review. However after wearing the item in rotation with other bras and handwashing it, the underwire came through the seam and the bra is unwearable. Unfortunately because it was worn, it cannot be returned.

Overall this is a good bra. It gives a really nice shape, not too pointy and not too flat. I like that it doesn't spread your breasts out under your armpits like some bras do. I think it makes me look thinner, which is always a good thing. My only complaint is, I wish the straps were more cushioned at the shoulder. The width of the straps is good, but after a while the elastic really digs into my shoulders and by the end of the day my skin is very red and irritated. It's mainly just on my left shoulder for some reason. In fairness, I have this problem with almost all bras, so maybe it's just the way I'm built. This bra is pretty good, but I am still wondering if there will ever be a bra that has the best of everything.. Lisa from Niobrara, NE USA

This minimizer is just fair. The cups come up rather high so if you are wearing a v-neck shirt or sweater you may find that the bra shows. I is not nearly as supportive or as minimizing as my all-time favorite minimizer which is Wacoal 85122. For some reason the folks at Wacoal discontinued it in my size. They seem to think that minimizers are not worn by women who need a 32 band size. I need a full cup and am narrow chested so many of the styles with the wide set straps don't work for me. Wacoal, please bring back the 85122 in a 32 band size! Brenda from Charlotte, NC

Best bra I have ever had! I had thought I was a DDD cup and after wearing this size for 30 yrs (without a significant amt of weight gain to explain needing a larger size), I eventually decided to try the equivelant of a DDDD, since I always felt eventually my breasts would start poofing out of the top of the bra (which, of course, doesn't happen in the dressing room....it happens after you have had it on for at least 15 minutes and your body has settled into it). Well, I guess I also was worried it would make me look bigger than I was...but just the opposite is true ( AND I DO NOT WORK FOR WACOAL), I appear smaller (minimized) and much much better in a sweater! I wish I had known years ago! I will be placing an order for another one today! Ann from Salem, OR USA

The best minimizer out there for the money, but one major problem: the 34 band in the 34 D is smaller by 1/2 inch than the 34 band in the 34 C I bought (in the same bra) at herroom a year ago. I noticed it immediately and indeed lay them out to measure, and the difference was noticeable. Kate from Clinton, ny

It actually does minimize,unlike many bras that say they are minimizers. It is a bit pricey (over $50 with shipping). I am happy with the bra, though I'm a little concerned about the possibility of 'show through', as it is a pretty light fabric. The bottom line is that it really does minimize.

Unfortunately, it did not fit me. I'm of a petite size range, although the cup size would indicate otherwise. This garment was simply too large for my frame, although the quality and price were above average.

Vendor Response: You are right this bra is a rather large frame because it is a minimizer. You should try Wacoal Style # 85667. It would give you the full cup you need but the frame is more pared down and would not give you the overall coverage that appears too large. Patricia from Sault Sainte Marie, MI

I have been wearing the Wacoal 85154 for many, many years. It is the most comfortable, best fitting bra I've ever found. The people at Nordstrom's told me that this bra, the Wacoal 857109 was a replacement for the 85154. I hope that's not true, because this 857109 is terribly uncomfortable where the underwire ends under my arms. I notice that the shape of the wire is not as broad as in the 85154. I cannot wear this bra because those underwires are so painful. I hope Wacoal never stops making the 85154. It never had that painful underwire problem.

Vendor Response: Style # 85154 is the best selling bra at Herroom.com and IS NOT being discontinued! Please reorder the 85154 you were happy with it before and will be in the future!! Rose from Oregon

Most uncomfortable Wacoal bra I've ever had on. There's no padding at the ends of the underwires and they poke into your sides to the point of pain. Bad design!

Wacoal Response: This is a minimizer bra and by design it must compress the bust and smooth it against the rib cage minimizing the projection of the bust. We have several bras in this size that are not highly projected and may give you the look you like without minimizing. You should try # 855192 or # 85185, they are both seamless and known for their comfort. Michelle from NY

This is the BEST minimizer bra I have ever owned. And I have tried a lot over the years. When I bought this bra I also bought a Modern Movement bra, which I thought would be a lot more comfortable than the Wacoal bra (it was softer material and more comfortable straps). Boy was I wrong! This Wacoal bra is superior to any other bra I have owned. The straps do not ever fall down, it provides full coverage for the entire breast with no spillage, and I don't even notice the underwire. It has a smooth appearance under form fitting clothes and does not gap at the chest wall. It may not work for all women but I am so pleased with this bra I wish I could order a lifetime supply!

This is the best bra I have ever worn in my life. It is perfect in every way. I also purchased the minimizer with the embroidery for almost $20 more, and the only difference is the embroidery. There is no functional difference, in case you are wondering. The bra moves with you and moves back with you. The band never rides up. The straps never fall. It is perfectly true to size. I am just amazed that a bra like this exists. It has full coverage over the breast - so there is no flesh popping up over the top like in many of the bras on the market today. Kathie from California

At first it felt comfortable but after wearing for couple of hours, the wires started to hurt the side of my breasts, i got the right size for myself, i wear a 36dddd/g from Chantelle(professionally fitted by people at a department store), cross checked with the fitting table and got the size that matched. Although it fits well but the wires hurts the side tissue of my breasts and makes me very uncomfortable!

Wacoal Response: This is a minimizer bra and many find that they are more confining than a regular underwire. We suggest you try a Wacoal bra that is not a minimizer but does not give increased projection. Try Wacoal 855186 in your size 36G or seamless style #855192. The wire pattern in each of these is more forgiving and should work well for you. nia from CA

My goal had been to purchase a frill-less nude color to wear under shearer summer-style blouses. The fit was far too large, with the cups starting at my back and covering to my shoulder. No support or minimizing, sports bra appearance. I am used to Freya and Panache bras (point of ref.) and was disappointed with this bra given Wacoal reputation.

Wacoal Response: If you are looking for a good seamless sports bra look at the Wacoal style 855170. It now comes in G cup and in Nude. This bra gives firm (sport) support and does not have the coverage that a minimizer in your size requires. Mary from Oregon, USA

I put this on and didn't like it almost immediately. The straps and the fabric are both made out of a scratchy material. I will say that the support and the fit were good, so I gave it three stars for that reason. Exchanged for the Lilyette 0998 that has more breathable fabric and more comfortable straps.

This bra was way too large in the cup although this size in two other Wacoal styles fits me perfectly.

Wacoal Response: This style is a minimizer and the cup tends to be a little larger to allow the breast tissue to spread across the chest wall to provide less projection therefore giving the minimizing effect. Since you found styles that fit you perfectly you may not want, or need, a minimizer. Wacoal Buyer from Louisville KY

This bra is a good basic minimizer bra. Nice and smooth under tee shirts. A good buy , for the price. As usual HerRoom shipping is great . No problems for me. You can't go wrong with a Wacoal bra. Oprah wears them. If it is good enough for her, it is good enough for me! Tashy from lakewood, WA

This is a great bra for minimizing the girls without giving you that monoboob look of an exercise bra, while giving you a perkier silhouette. I am finally able to wear tops that button up the front instead of always wearing t-shirts, and I am able to wear t-shirts that have a deeper v-neck. Before, this was impossible because of cleavage. This bra captures the entire breast and holds it in the cup. Because of this, I might mention the one drawback is that you can't wear it with a very wide scoop neckline, because the triangular part at the top of the bra will show. It works with every other neckline, and I am a hip-dressing 50-something wearing all kinds of fashion trends. Another bonus: I can wear long pendants and chains without them settling in the valley between my breasts when I wear this bra. One other downer about this bra: nipple show through if you wear a tight t-shirt. It is summer, and so far this has not happened to me, but the cups are not lined, so watch out for this. Otherwise, it is definitely my go-to bra, and I have already purchased a second. stuck in the suburbs from Houston, TX

This item might be awesome for a smaller size but it should not be offered at the size I require. It completely lacks the support required.

Wacoal Response: For full support in a minimizer bra try Wacoal style 85122 it comes in your size and gives excellent support because it does not contain any Spandex and the cup bottoms are in woven polyester. Cynthia from Little Rock, Arkansas, USA

Not comfortable at all!

Wacoal Response: She did not comment how it was uncomfortable. I would guess it is probably the wrong size- in a minimizer people often buy the wrong cup size (too small). Angelina

In general I find Waocoal bras to be the best fitting and most comfortable bras, but this minimizer did not fit well. Minimizers seem to have very low underwires and the underwire in this bra came below my ribs, digging in very painfully. I had high hopes for this bra, but unfortunately it was a no go. However, I will continue to be faithful to the brand.

Wacoal Response: It sounds as if she is too full for this style. She should try style Wacoal Minimizer 85154 - the best selling Herroom.com style. It is a nice full cup, it minimizes very well, and fits expecially well in sizes 32 DD and DDD. Rhoda from Atlanta, Georgia

I love this bra. I am a tiny woman, but very 'endowed'. When Wacoal discontinued the only bra that ever fit me, I have spent about 18 months trying to replace it. This new Wacoal is excellent. Very comfortable and definitely holds the breasts in place. I would like wider straps at top of shoulders, but the straps are still comfortable. Sharon from Owensboro, KY USA

The bra is well made and may fit some women. However, I returned it because it was not very flattering, only flattening. It made my chest indeed look smaller but at the expense of giving me the look of a uniboob.

Wacoal Response: This bra is a seamless minimizer and is designed to reduce projection. It should not "flatten" the bust though. I would suggest you try a larger cup size, it sounds as if you are forcing yourself into the cup. Ilse from Portland, OR

Great support, but the top third of the cups pucker. I was hoping this would be a cheaper alternative my beloved, perfect fitting more expensive 85154 bra. If it didn't pucker on me I'd give it a five. Maybe if you have fuller breasts toward the top it would work great. jane from Half Moon Bay, CA

I love this bra. The support is great, the support comes from around and through the back, taking weight off the shoulders. Creates good lift and separation. Which has been hard for me to find. Very comfortable as well. Your website is very user friendly, and the customer reviews actually helped direct my purchase. Very satisfied with the site, the service and the product.

I have been looking for a bra that fits and is comfortable for almost 2 years. I found one in a Chantel, 30H. I have a Wacoal minimizer that is too small in the cup and too big in the band (34DDD) that I like so decided to try this one in 32G. It does fit, but the underwire is very uncomfortable, feels very thick, and hurts my ribs. I have 2 other Wacoals and have the same problem. No more for me!

Wacoal Response: This bra is a minimizer and tends to fit a little bit snug to accomplish it's purpose. It sounds that the bra fits in the size 32G but it is too tight in the band causing the wire to dig in. You should loosen the strap- go to the next hook- or try it in size 34G.

I give this bra a tentative 5 star rating, as I have only worn it once, but was very pleased with the results. It did feel a bit stiff, but I suspect it will break in with time. I agree with what other reviewers have been saying, it definitely does a great job of minimizing, slimming, and putting the figure in proportion, as well as keeping those ladies up where they ought to be. It also avoids the usual pitfalls of creating the illusion of breasts growing out of your armpits as well as the famous uni-boob. The shape of the breast in this bra is somewhat unusual, it seems to succeed in creating a perky profile without the usual 1950s torpedo effect that often happens. The photo of the wacoal 85154 has a profile shot which is very similar to the profile of this model. All in all, very effective, and supportive, even in the larger sizes. Aubyn from Atlanta, GA, USA

great minimizer. I look like I lost weight. The "girls" are up where they should be and look MUCH smaller. I ordered the 36G because they don't have F/FF... or anything between DDD and G. It works. I usually wear an F or FF in Fantasie and other EU brands but this G is perfect. The band size is true. I bought more, because I look NORMAL in clothes now. ckmb from NJ

great bra. I look like I lost 10 lbs when I wear this. I found the right side wire a little uncomfortable after 6 hrs which is why I gave it a less than perfect star rating... but that could easily just be my body, not the bra itself. chris from NJ

This bra gave the support I was hoping for, but in a very constricting way. I have always had a hard time finding bras that fit and make me look smaller. This bra is simple with full coverage (with some tops that is not always a good thing), but the underwire can be very uncomfortable and I think it distorts the breast shape. I don't think I would recommend this item to anyone. Vicki from Loveland,Co

This seems to be a new item from Wacoal. Thank you for the great price on this one. I LOVE IT! Of all the bras I've tried from HerRoom, this is hands down my favorite. No spillage period. Love the stay-put stretch straps (didn't think this was possible with stretch straps). This truly is one bra that I forget that I'm wearing. Even though the Wacoal 85154 seems to be the more expensive version of this bra, I like this one best. Sandy from North Carolina
